I Saw the TV Glow: The Rebels Go To the Movies

Yesterday we went to I Saw The TV Glow followed by a Q&A with writer/ director Jane Schoenbrun. Brigette Lundy-Paine and Justice Smith star in a coming-of-age story where two junior high outsiders find each other and bond over a creepy Buffy The Vampire Slayer-like TV show. The show gets darker and the protagonists' ties to reality start to loosen.

We've loved Brigette Lundy-Paine ever since Atypical and see all their work-- even Amelia's Children, yikes.) Unlike Amelia's Children, I Saw The TV Glow was excellent: dark and strange and sad, with an amazing soundtrack. We highly recommend it!

Topics of conversation covered:

Buffy creator Joss Whedon is a terrible person The Cocteau Twins has an album The Pink Opaque Our episode on Bringing people into the closet with you Faith like the band Velocity Girl Faith's blog is still up!
