Donnie Darko: Part 1

Though they may be stuck in a confusing time loop, two pop culture observers/zany podcasters/ and excellent friends have banded together again to expose the truth of what’s going on in Middlesex, Virginia, circa 2001.

This movie has a special place in the hearts of Ben and Helena. They had a great time re-visiting their pasts and shepherding Ansel in. Now we’re here to welcome you as well. Whether this is your first time watching the movie or your 50th, we’ve got watch along rules to help keep you engaged, lighten the mood, and maybe help you spot some new details.

This is just the beginning of our coverage of Donnie Darko. This month we’re also thrilled to be covering the brand new Netflix movie, The Adam Project. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on an early copy, and you’d best believe we’re going to have some watch-along rules for you in time for release day.
