CULTURAL MARXISM HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: Donnie Darko (2001)

<p>The PG crew tackles a classic Halloween movie that captured our hearts and bent our minds when we were in high school: Donnie Darko (2001). In writer/director Richard Kelly's coming-of-age sci-fi thriller, troubled teen Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) must decipher the apocalyptic visions he's been having before it's too late. We discuss the film's political backdrop of '80s/'00s conservatism, the primary plot and whether or not it makes sense, and its enduring relevance, dropping a Marx quote or two along the way.
