I Saw the TV Glow is a 2024 American independent film by director Jane Schoenbrun. Owen is a reserved 7th grader who is introduced to a mysterious late night supernatural teen show by a high school outsider Maddy. The two form a tentative bond over the show, which intensifies over the years. But on the night of the season five finale, Maddy disappears, and Owen is left wondering what parts of the show were real, and what may have been messages from another world.

great reaction, you really got this film in a way most reviewers don’t.
As someone who was in the closet far too long, this film broke me.
You watched a movie I've already seen. This may be the first time.
Also pretty sure that font is the Buffy font.
Don't get too comfortable ❤️
I watched this the night before last, and as a nonbinary person it hit me like a truckload of bricks. I'm still reeling tbh. The ending juxtaposed against Maddie telling Owen not to apologise earlier in the film just goes so hard.
I'm pretty sure this is among my favourite movies ever. I feel like the "horror drama" label mostly comes from the aesthetics of young adult horror media used throughout but when viewed from a trans perspective, the ending genuinely hits as more horrifying and playing into greater personal fears than anything in more proper horror films. It's genuinely quite fascinating, using the horror trappings without the actual horror having *anything* to do with those, if that makes sense.
I think that also Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg are on that sweet spot of existential and scary that you mention at the end
The fact you started saying there's still time before the film did was amazing. In terms of transness, I've seen this film be described as being about the 'egg crack' moment. On the bleachers as a teenager, owen talks about a fear of what she would find if she broke her chest open - and at the end of the film, she finally does. She looks inside, and maybe she'll do something about it. There's still time.
I’m toeing the line between queerness and psychosis 💜
beautiful reaction!
I got that anhedonia nonsense too I believe. Sucks. Movie looks good I’m excited to see it. Wish you well my friend.
Me googling anhedonia
@@erikchristensen822 haha it’s a symptom of depression I believe is how you word it. That good old dead inside feeling. anything you always enjoys even feels like a chore.
@@glowgreen3me too
A title in the title! ❤❤❤❤❤ I'll have to watch later after I've either seen the movie or decided I won't, but in the meantime please accept this like and comment in appreciation!
Man, the ending of this so unbearably corny that I audibly laughed.
I mean, it is? A lot of people describe the ending more bleak than corny.
@@user-gf5ce9ig1b I know that's what they were going for but him yelling "I'm dying...Mommy" in a cartoonishly screechy voice while everyone is frozen like a Saved By The Bell episode is unintentionally hilarious. And then him cutting open his chest to reveal an episode of the TV show playing feels like some obvious/forced imagery that a teenager came up with.
