still thinking about how much I enjoyed I Saw The TV Glow and @emotrophywife.bsky.social’s piece here really gets at a lot of it for me: the homage paid to queer antecedents like Sadie Benning’s films, the way we play with archives and the past, very good stuff mubi.com/en/notebook/...

I will probably have more to say about I Saw The TV Glow but for now, I’ll just keep it to: it’s really good, and you should go see it. I enjoyed it a lot.
