## Resource

It all comes crashing down this week as we get out of our human suit and into our creepy bunny suit to dig into 2001’s cult classic, DONNIE DARKO!! Along the way, we explore the movie’s many connections to Stephen King’s multiverse, debate whether this collapsed reality is all Grandma Death’s fault, worship at the altar of Drew Barrymore again, and point out some vital Long Beach filming locations. All this, plus Langoliers vs Critters, Snakes on a Plane, stab air, say cellar door a bunch, and rewrite time to play a new edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure! We’ll never question your commitment to Sparkle Motion again if you download and listen to this episode today!
