It’s back! White Canon returns with a breakdown of Donnie Darko. This episode is hosted by Trevor and Ken. Joining the Sharks for this round are Felix Biederman of Chapo Trap House and Jack Wagner of Yeah, But Still. Working thru the mysteries of the movie while paralleling the time period to their own childhoods, the Sharks and guests parse out the weird only to discover everything they thought the movie was about is not what its creator had in mind… One thing they DO all agree on though is, the soundtrack rips.
