While their debut was indie and chaotic, I Saw the TV Glow was a different experience for Schoenbrun, requiring meticulous synchronization and deliberate image crafting, resembling a different medium.
Both films center on queer adolescent outsiders without clear queer identities, exploring how media influences their self-discovery. I Saw the TV Glow pays homage to 90s trans kids' struggles with media representation.
The allegory of teens connecting with a canceled TV show mirrors the journey of letting go of a straight identity for a queer one, reflecting on self-discovery and embracing queerness.
