Transcribe →I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
Jun 1802:07:42Tap to summarize"This isn't the Midnight Realm, Maddy. It's just the suburbs."After two years of begging, The Wives Colangelo (mostly Harmony) are finally discussing I SAW THE TV GLOW. While the movie is responsible for countless individuals recognizing the truth about themselves (yay!), the culture that surrounds the film has felt very isolating for trans people who came out long before we even had the word "egg" to describe "egg cinema." This is a deeply personal episode, and we hope you can have an open mind about it.--------Become a Patron! https://www.patreon.com/thisendsatprom--------MONTHLY SPOTLIGHTTransOhio: https://www.transohio.org--------Articles Referenced"I Hate How We Talk About I Saw the TV Glow": https://harmonycolangelo.medium.com/i-hate-how-we-talk-about-i-saw-the-tv-glow-f71a5cfcdfadBJ Colangelo's Review: https://www.slashfilm.com/1557774/i-saw-the-tv-glow-review/I Saw the TV Glow Review from S.L.
