Summary

Wake up. This week, the gang ventures down the rabbit hole of 2001's cult classic sci-fi thriller, Donnie Darko. Set in 1988, this film explores the interconnected relationships between characters while searching for the underlying truths that bind everything together, for better or for worse. Craig guides the way first with the hare-raising Producer's Notes (6:23), then Alain chooses to sit next to the Beauclair Synopsis (14:11) while Chris predicts our paths with (the) Philosopher's Corner (27:33). Things take a dark turn at the Round Table (35:21), then we travel back in time to replay our Reviews (1:12:25) and maybe ask Frank for his. As always, we engage in a discussion of philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie. Featured Beer: Strangers Forever by Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. (Calgary, Alberta)
