  • Summary

  • In this standalone episode, we're discussing Richard Kelly's modern cult classic DONNIE DARKO!

    DONNIE DARKO's journey to the screen was one fraught with difficulties from the very beginning: Few studios were willing to take a chance on a young, unproven director, and once the film did finally get made, getting it released at all was nearly impossible, with most distributors intimidated by the unconventional film. Once it was finally released, it was a huge flop.

    So how did DONNIE DARKO go on to become one of the most significant cult films of the last 25 years? In this episode, we tell the full story behind the film, from its inception, through production and release, and ultimately, how the film found new life to become the classic that we know it as today.

    Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.

    This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, & Justin Bishop.
