Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay go to the movies with their giant bunny rabbit friend to watch 'Donnie Darko.' Bombay kicks things off by telling a story about throwing a slice of pizza in a random person's face, and how that ultimately led to him seeing this film. Then the guys chat about a movie that is divisive for the podcast (one of them loves it, the other loathes it). How Richard Kelly pulled off a feat at a young age of simultaneously catching lightning in a bottle for this coming-of-age sci-fi story that tackles schizophrenic behavior , while also creating one of the most horrific Director's Cuts of all-time — which has sadly become the de facto available cut. The movie features unexpectedly killer turns from Drew Barrymore, and a very game Patrick Swayze who both showed up in top form for this '80s period piece. A rare film of its kind that portrays yuppie families as humanistic and not just caricatures, and is laced with a great '80s soundtrack.
