Gobbledygeek 91, "Real Darko"

Gobbledygeek - A podcast by Paul Smith and Arlo J. Wiley

Categories:

It's Geek Challenge time! Paul has challenged AJ to Real Genius, and in turn, AJ has challenged Paul to Donnie Darko. Our two challenges this time may seem wildly different in terms of plot and tone, but they're really not that dissimilar: Both take place in the '80s, both are centered around "extraordinary" young men, both feature schools which are important to the story, and both ensure that Tears for Fears will keep receiving those royalty checks for a good long while. As far as the boys' discussion is concerned, things are going pretty well until they're not. Plus, Paul and AJ rave about the Game of Thrones season premiere.   Next week: It's real! The Cabin in the Woods exists!
