This week 4/20, the national stoner holiday, fell on Easter Sunday and it won't happen again for another 62 years, so it is cause for a CELEBRATION. This for my group looked like a double feature watch party starting with the 1973 version of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and followed by 2001's indie masterpiece "Donnie Darko."
In this episode, your host Elise Hernke, starts by talking about a few recent headlines and some more highly anticipated upcoming films. Then, we look at the film version of Andrew Lloyd Weber's campy Biblical musical that depicts the days leading to Jesus Christ's death from the perspective of his follower famously turned betrayer Judas Iscariot.
After that (at about the 1hr mark), we get to "Donnie Darko," the iconic science fiction indie horror masterpiece that has one of the most memorable soundtracks ever. In this episode, we mostly focus on the EXPLANATION of the plot (we go into grave detail on the philosophy of time travel).
