This movie hits hard if you were a child of the 80s and 90s like us, and you might need a little help to get through this one without needing to raid the nearest Claire’s or Hot Topic. So, Ben and Nicole are here to review the movie in full; and it was so good that we had to make this episode 3 times as long to fit it all in.

Watching Donnie Darko is designed to provoke questions, but maybe the filmmakers didn’t anticipate the kinds of questions you had. Well, not to worry, party people, we’re here with a little more information on two extremely random things from this movie, synthesizers and the phrase “cellar door”. This may not be a dissertation on the topic, but we think this month’s trip to the touch pool of edutainment will be just enough to send you down your own research rabbit hole to make frank the bunny proud.

If you’re like Ansel, this was a hell of a trip and a revelation of 20 years worth of pop culture finally settling in like pieces of a jigsaw. Whichever camp you’re in, this review is here to go over the finer points of the movie, give you a little conversation to dig your teeth into and some deep, emotional dives into the bargain.

Sorry, that was wishful thinking. I meant the Butterfly Effect.

We had a ball during the recording for this episode with well over an hour of material that was just three friends having a good time regardless of the task at hand.

Sorry, that was wishful thinking. I meant the Butterfly Effect.

The Butterfly Effect has changed us in ways we could not have predicted. It is because of the infinite variables that we cannot have anticipated. Luckily, in this edutainment episode, Helena Handbasket is here to give you the essentials on the Chaos Theory. At least enough to throw up your hands and give up on predicting how anything will ever go. What’s more, if you’re looking to retain this and want to write it down, Ben Silverio is hitting us with the skinny on composition notebooks. Be ready for your mind to blow.

From the distant, curvy future of the 2030’s two pop culture observers/zany podcast sidekicks/most excellent friends have put on their most outlandish leotard suits to give you some fun and maybe a little hope through a breakdown of time travel media.

This episode is from our second recording session, back in September of 2020. The Pandemic put us on pause for seven months. We tried recording in person in Ben’s backyard under the O’Hare bound flight path. While we still had a lot to learn, including recording remotely for the rest of the season, this was a great conversation. So, please put on your robot hats and enjoy this bonus recording and judge us by the other, better work we released prior to this.
