Donnie Darko with critic Ren Zelen | The Pick of the Flicks Podcast #75

April 22, 2020 by Tom Beasley

On The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, a different guest drops in every week to chat about their favourite film. This week, film critic Ren Zelen digs deep into the inner workings of the mind-bending Donnie Darko…

On this week’s episode of The Pick of the Flicks Podcast, film critic Ren Zelen stops by to dissect the bizarre enigma of Richard Kelly’s baffling noughties sci-fi tale Donnie Darko. We chat about the differing opinions about the way the story unfolds, the movie’s legacy in popular culture and, of course, the cult popularity of that terrifying bunny rabbit.
