Nostalgium Arcanum

Donnie Darko


Listen Later

It's the end of the world as we know it, and we feel fine. Donnie Darko's convoluted sci-fi narrative is beside the point, as it's the emotional core of Richard Kelly's film about how our lives interweave and that we are not truly as alone as we may suspect that makes this an enduring classic. Guest podcaster and possible imaginary rabbit Case Aiken (Another Pass, Men of Steel) joins us to discuss this mad world, why it still haunts us, and why it deserves to be part of our Patrick MAYze month of movies.
