Straight People DON'T Understand I SAW THE TV GLOW | I Saw The TV Glow is a psychological thriller from A24 that uses the concept of obsessive nostalgia in fiction fandoms to tell a story about the main character discovering and dealing with being trans. But some straight people either can’t/refuse to see and acknowledge the movie’s queerness, or feel like it’s out of place. So I made this guide to explain how the queer experience is an integral part of the movie’s plot.
