ok so I looked up "I saw the tv glow" on wikipedia because I suck, and while I don't understand being transgender as an internal process, I did see that the director intentionally cast the two actors from Pete and Pete in the film and that's one of the first non-baby shows I remember watching! I was so happy for the actors! Pete and Pete is cult. I think it would do great as a resurgence but there's like a licensing issue with season three!!!

they need more respect on their name, this show was a gateway drug into daria and shit. which i've never seen. but!

i have never seen Pete and Pete but in looking up ISTTG on wikipedia i discovered the dad was fucking Fred Durst?????? hello??? my guy????? iconic of him

and ofc Johnny’s mom is played by the actress who played Tara in BtVS

it’s definitely very intentional casting all around

#there’s a lot of that like 90s youth culture baked into the movie for obvs reasons #the Buffy parallels come through most of all ofc #but even when you get to Owen’s adulthood/modern day it’s still like. i mean he literally is living in a snow globe #but he never leaves his childhood home #he works in an arcade/fun center which like. BARELY exist today #time moves too fast but it never moves at all and what if you’re suffocating any chance you have at happiness. et cetera
