We're excited to have return guest Jane Schoenbrun with a powerhouse film that they wrote and directed, I Saw The TV Glow. The film is set in the '90s and follows Owen, an awkward teenager whose classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night tv show, and his new obsession begins to cause cracks in his sense of reality.

Jane describes their "egg crack moment", and how important it was to cast queer actors (led by the wonderful duo of Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) that we normally don't see in teenage angst films. And then we discuss the '90s nostalgia and gorgeous cinematography that this film serves, our mutual obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the incredible soundtrack that'll leave you wondering if Jane is also a part-time DJ. Jane is a unique and important voice in the entertainment industry, and we are fucken' here for it.

Welcome to our SFFilm Festival episode! We start with some fun stories from our coverage of the festival, before sharing a great conversation with one of our newest friends/honorary bitch, director Nicholas Ma of the film Mabel.

Mabel follows 13 year old Callie, an awkward kid whose one friend, Mabel, is a plant- until her teacher Ms. G introduces her to the world of "plant intelligence". Nicholas shares why he has an obsession with plants, how working on the Mr. Rogers documentary helped him tap into young people and their concerns, his incredible cast (including Judy Greer), and the struggles of being a mixed-race kid.
