End Credits #345 - June 12, 2024 (I Saw the TV Glow)

This week on End Credits, we watch TV. Sort of. Our movie in this episode is about people who watch TV and maybe watch a little too closely, but that's okay because there's allegory in them there hills! We're going to talk about the new sure-to-be cult classic I Saw the TV Glow, and we're also going to talk about summer movies the best way we can, with a draft!

This Wednesday, June 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

The Summer of '89 Draft. Without hyperbole, the Summer Movie Season of 1989 is the Best Summer Movie Season that there's ever been! It was the summer of Batman! Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! Do the Right Thing! Shag! (?!) A summer this good can only mean on thing: We need to draft!! To start this week's show, we're going to draft the movies from the Summer of '89 across five carefully chosen categories.

REVIEW: I Saw the TV Glow (2024). We've probably all been obsessive about a beloved TV show, but have you ever been so obsessed with a show that you thought it was real? That is perhaps the most basic plot description of I Saw the TV Glow, the second film from the very talented Jane Schoenbrun, but there's a great deal more going on. From commentary about obsessive fan culture to allegories about the trans experience, we will try to unwind all the implications of I Saw the TV Glow, but we might need a bigger show!

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
