We're going on a journey to find your inner brooding teen. Close your eyes and think back to when you believed girls would talk to you because you watched Donnie Darko a dozen times and had THINGS to say about it. Maybe it's been a few years since you spent time with the films of Richard Kelly. Maybe it's about time you discovered if Southland Tales is better than you remember. Maybe you should finally watch The Box (someone needs to).

Maybe you should listen to this podcast because we watched the director's cut AND theatrical versions of every R. Kelly film, and dammit that has to be worth something, right? RIGHT?

THIS WEEK: Donnie Darko (2001), Southland Tales (2006), The Box (2009)
