  • Ep.70 – Donnie Darko
    Donnie Darko

    Donnie Darko is a 2001 American science fiction psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly and produced by Flower Films. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, Patrick Swayze, Noah Wyle, Stu Stone, Daveigh Chase, and James Duval.

    A classic movie this time! We talk in scattershot fashion, skipping through time and highlighting the many layers of theme in this incredible movie. Rather than talking more about time travel, we discuss psychology, in particular the inability to understand emotions you are feeling. What does Donnie Darko mean? Tell us!
