{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Richard Kelly on ‘Donnie Darko’ at 25","description":"We’ve got a real treat for you today, folks: Richard Kelly—the director of Donnie Darko, Southland Tales, and The Box—joined us to discuss Donnie Darko’s 25th anniversary rerelease by Fathom Entertainment and Saga Arts. And, as a bonus, we got a bunch of insights into his sequel novel (https://variety.com/2026/film/news/donnie-darko-sequel-book-release-cover-teaser-1236841844/) , which is coming out on December 15. Plus: some Southland Tales chat!\n\nFirst things first: Get your tickets for the 25th anniversary showings of Donnie Darko today. It’s playing on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (https://www.fathomentertainment.com/releases/donnie-darko-25th-anniversary/) , likely in an AMC or a Cinemark near you.\n\nSecond things second: This is a bonus episode of Across the Movie Aisle, meaning that it is usually for subscribers only. We’ve decided to put out an extended preview of this episode to make sure we get in all the Donnie Darko chat. But if you notice it cutting off at 30 minutes or so and you want to get some insights into Richard’s surreal masterpiece, Southland Tales, we’ll need you to sign up for a membership to help keep the lights on around here. Fluid Karma doesn’t pay for itself, you know.","author_name":"Across the Movie Aisle","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5009972-across-the-movie-aisle","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/37260285/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":"<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"95\" src=\"https://embeds.audioboom.com/posts/8953125/embed?v=202301\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; width: 100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"allowtransparency\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Audioboom player\" allow=\"autoplay\" sandbox=\"allow-downloads allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"></iframe>"}
