The hallowed halls of the High Hat Hall of Fame creak open again as another film is up for consideration. Erik Saras returns to the show to make a case for Richard Kelly's 2004 director's cut of his 2001 cult hit Donnie Darko.

Michael's back for another High Hat Hall of Fame submission. This week's film up for consideration is Quentin Tarantino's 1994 classic, Pulp Fiction.
