#034: Donnie Darko (The Director's Cut) with Mike Natale

Our thirty-fourth episode is our biggest thus far, as we’re joined by friend of the show Mike Natale (You’re Missing Out podcast) to discuss the audio commentary for the “Donnie Darko” director’s cut by director Richard Kelly and elsewhere director Kevin Smith. We touch upon additions that dumb down the entire proceedings, hyperbolic predictions that didn’t come to pass, unfortunate gay jokes right out of the gate on behalf of Smith, many unnecessary uses of the word “technology”, the rise and fall of Neill Blomkamp, and so much more.Ryan’s Recommendations: “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” (1975), “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” (1979), and “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” (1983)For exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcastTheme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
