    I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024) ft. Blayne Waterloo // Favorites of '24

    For our final installment in our 2024 retrospective series, we're discussing the I Saw the TV Glow directed by Jane Shoenbrun. The boys are joined by Blayne Waterloo (Eww Hag) to discuss gender dysphoria, Shoenbrun's singular aesthetic, and how the road to self-actualization can be painful. As Owen would say; we're so sorry! Note: the gender designations of Owen & Maddie are a bit loosey goosey in the film, so we mainly use "they" pronouns for the sake of consistency. Apologies for any mistakes, it's not intentional!
