They get into the drama, the angst, and everything in between! Topics:Melvin asks Liz & Court a few questions about their movie tastes, as well as learns about their reticence for "super boys". Donnie Darko produces a lot of deep feelings, even if a lot of the film is hard to understand.Melvin's rewatch was surreal, and he shares why he thinks it impacted him so much.Donnie Darko plays with a mix of genres, tones, and characters, and this narrative fragmentation builds a picture of Donnie's confused world.Contrasting the loneliness of Donnie and the loneliness of Cherita. The passage of time, time travel, and change are all ideas at play within Donnie Darko.A lot of Donnie Darko starts to explore dynamics of predestination.Melvin recalls the explanation for the movie Richard Kelly provided with regards to all of the weird, paranormal, timey-wimey stuff that happens in the film... and it's as bonkers as you think it is (and also not that important!).Recommendations:Late Night with the Devil (2023) (Movie)Dark (2017) (Series)Twisters (2024) (Movie)Chronicle (2012) (Movie)Support the showSupport on Patreon for Unique Perks!
