Today we review the cult classic Donnie Darko (2001) starring Jake Gyllenhaal. This movie was suggested by a fan, and he was gracious enough to hop on as a guest. Thanks Ayitey Aryee for breaking down what was going on in this bizarre psychological-time travel thriller. Hit us up on Instagram @bettermoviemaybe if you have movie recs or want to be a guest on the pod. Note: We apologize for some audio issues at the beginning. It clears up about 20 minutes in.
