Donnie Darko with Christine Bohan

Season 1, Episode 2,   Dec 29, 2021, 09:00 PM

In that weird liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s where none of us have any clue what day or time it is, it only seems right that we journey 20 years into the past for sleeper cult hit Donnie Darko, then it’s second right at 1988 and straight on til morning. Or is it? 

Our guest for this episode is Christine Bohan who joins us in our quest to unravel this time-traveling modern classic as she visits Middlesex High School for the first time. Topics covered include angsty adolescences both onscreen and off, family dynamics, lockdown hobbies, rogue teaching methods, breakthrough performances in a stacked cast for the ages and a late-save apology to all the Swifties out there.

It’s not too late, burst through that cellar door, hop the wormhole, choose fear or love. Just don’t ever doubt our commitment to Sparkle Motion.
