Con motivo del estreno de "Backrooms", el debut en el cine de Kane Parsons, el equipo de Marea Nocturna conversa sobre una nueva generación de cineastas que comparten sus orígenes en YouTube y están cambiando las reglas del juego del terror contemporáneo. Jane Schoenbrun, Curry Barker, Kyle Edward Ball y los hermanos Danny y Michael Philippou son algunos de los cineastas mencionados (y alabados) en un capítulo que se cierra con un repaso a lo mejor de Cannes en fantástico y terror y a los estrenos en salas.
In her third feature (Saccharine, in theaters now and on Shudder in July), Natalie Erika James tackles themes of obsession, disordered eating, and queerness. And while the two movies are VERY different (one a psychological horror, the other a quiet, BAFTA-winning drama), those are all themes Saccharine shares with My Summer of Love, Pawel Pawlikowski's 2004 film that introduced the world to Emily Blunt. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Jane Schoenbrun's upcoming Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which just premiered at Cannes.

Cannes 2026: I denne tredje episoden fra årets Cannes-festival snakker vi om to metafilmer: Jane Schoenbruns Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma og Pedro Almodóvars Amarga navidad («Bitter Christmas»). Regissør Jane Schoenbrun fikk sitt gjennombrudd med indie-snakkisen I Saw the TV Glow (lytt til vår episode om filmen), en kompleks, mørk anti-nostalgifilm om skeiv coming of age. Nå er hen tilbake med sin hittil mest ambisiøse film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, som både er en blodsprutende pastisj på slashersjangeren à la åttitallet, en hyllest til kommersiell amerikansk kultur, en klok film om sex og en smart satire om hvordan Hollywood renvasker i utgangspunktet skitne merkevarer (eks. Barbie) ved å gjøre innpakningen «woke». Den spanske auteuren Pedro Almodóvar trenger ingen nærmere introduksjon, og det er heller ikke første gang han forteller om den kunstneriske prosessen bak en film. Amarga navidad retter et skråblikk på den sene fasen av karrieren Almodóvar befinner seg i, og er i kjent stil intrikat skrudd sammen. Ikke noe for enhver smak, kanskje, men en gavepakke for oss som er svorne fans! Ved mikrofonene i Cannes sitter Montages-redaktør Lars Ole Kristiansen, Chloé Faulkner (Filmklubbforbundet) og Truls Foss (Vega Scene). God lytting!
Review! We are excited about Jane Schoenbrun's ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. Guest Ryan McQuade AwardsWatch.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
"Psycho" gefilmt aus der Perspektiv vum Duschrideau: Dat ass ee vun de villen zitatwierdege Sätz aus der Jane Schoenbrun hirem verréckte Metaslaher "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma", ma vläicht och eng gutt Manéier, de Metakino, deen oft zu Cannes leeft, op ee gemeinsamen Nenner ze bréngen. Well gëschter Feierdaag war, de Festival de Cannes awer keng Paus kennt, ënnerhalen sech de Jeff Schinker an de Marc Trappendreher haut direkt iwwert eng ganz Partie Filmer: nieft der Jane Schoenbrun hirem Metahorrorfilm hëlt de Jeff Schinker déi zwee éischt Wettbewerbsfilmer "Nagi Notes" vum Koji Fukoda an "La vie d'une femme" vun der Charline Bourgeois-Taquet ënnert d'Lupp, wärend de Marc Trappendreher eis Spannendes aus de Masterclasses vum Peter Jackson an der Claire Denis bericht.
I Saw the TV Glow è diventato un piccolo film di culto, per cui c'era molta attesa nei confronti del nuovo film della regista americana: sarà stata all'altezza delle aspettative?
FRANCE 24's Culture Editor Eve Jackson brings us the latest from the Cannes Film Festival, including a look at one of the wildest movies the festival has seen in a while: "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma", from director Jane Schoenbrun. It's part-slasher movie, part-fever dream and part-commentary on fandom and identity. It stars Gillian Anderson, who we know best for "The X-Files" and "Sex Education". Opposite her is "Hacks" actress Hannah Einbinder playing a young queer filmmaker.
Ep. 393: Jordan Cronk on Cannes 2026: Directors' Fortnight Preview, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Nagi Notes, Butterfly Jam, plus Play-Doc retro + Jeonju Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. For the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, I'm very happy to start the big show with Jordan Cronk, critic and programmer. We discussed a few films from the first big day of programming: Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (directed by Jane Schoenbrun, starring Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder), Nagi Notes (Koji Fukada), and Butterfly Jam (Kantemir Balagov, starring Barry Keoghan, Riley Keough, Harry Messing). But I was also treated to a preview of Directors' Fortnight, the Cannes showcase where Cronk is also a program advisor, and which this year includes films by Radu Jude, Alain Cavalier, Dominga Sotomayor, Lisandro Alonso, longtime Apichatpong Weerasethakul collaborato Sompot Chidgasornpongse, and Bruno Dumont. But that's not all! Cronk also shares his visits to two festivals just before Cannes: Play-Doc in Galicia, where he saw a very intriguing retrospective, Spain, and the Jeonju International Film Festival in Jeonju, South Korea.

Owen (Justice Smith) is a quiet kid on the outskirts of everything — his school, his family, his own life. When he meets Maddy (Jack Haven), a fellow outcast devoted to late-night supernatural TV show The Pink Opaque, something stirs in him that he can't quite name. Together they lose themselves in the show's mythology, its heroes Isabel and Tara battling the dream-warping Mr. Melancholy from within the Midnight Realm. When Maddy disappears and the show gets canceled, Owen finds himself alone in a suburb designed to swallow people whole — watching years pass like seconds.Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow asks what it costs to not know yourself, wrapping that terror in the hypnotic glow of '90s television and the specific dread of adolescence that never ends. Horror film, coming-of-age film, and something harder to name — it builds a portrait of a person burying themselves alive.Lu Etienne and Maxi Breckwoldt join Mike to trace Owen's journey from the bleachers to the Fun Center and beyond, unpacking the film's psychic static, its suburban uncanny, and the question haunting every frame: what if you're already suffocating, and you just don't know it yet?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

On St. Valentine's Day in 1900, a group of podcasters set out to record an episode about Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock. Some were never to return...because they got addicted to the calming sounds of pan flute! Filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun joins us to chat about this 1975 classic of Australian cinema, and we're getting into the eerie qualities that make this film such an enduring mystery. From Rachel Roberts' wig drama to frame rate manipulation...from the Aboriginal concept of "dream time" to the casting of actual private school girls...there's much to unpack. But don't worry, we also spend a lot of time discussing The Grabber from The Black Phone 2.

Hey Reservos! This week, we are discussing Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw The TV Glow (2024). Listen as we breakdown this devastating interpretation of the denial of one's true identity and the horrors of the isolation and depression that comes with suppressing your authenticity. Enjoy!
Cinetopia show host Amanda Rogers, Cinetopia co-founder, is joined by Emma Jamieson and Clara Strachan for a special edition of the Cinetopia Radio Show, reflecting on highlights from the 78th Edinburgh International Film Festival (August 14–20, 2025). In this episode, the team looks back on the festival's standout films and shares exclusive conversations with some of the filmmakers and talent behind them.The team discusses four of the most talked-about titles from EIFF 2025, all of which will be ones to watch as they reach cinemas and streaming:Sorry, Baby: Opening this year's festival, Eva Victor's acclaimed comedy-drama follows Agnes (played by Victor herself) as she navigates friendship, creativity, and recovery after trauma. A Sundance favorite making its UK premiere, the film captures the subtleties of resilience with Victor's signature blend of wit and sensitivity.Bulk: The latest from Ben Wheatley, a mysterious, late-night thrill ride that world premiered at the festival. A quintessential midnight madness movie that is unsettling, mischievous, and full of Wheatley's signature energy.Two Neighbors: From the Edinburgh Fringe comes Ondine Viñao's visually stunning, punkish, and remarkably assured debut. A modern retelling of an Aesop fable with a viral-meme twist, it stars Anya Chalotra and Chloe Cherry as a struggling writer and a wealthy socialite whose lives collide over one chaotic night at a debauched party. With bold visuals and fearless humor, Two Neighbors is a wild ride that firmly establishes Viñao as a filmmaker to watch.Islands: A stylish neo-noir mystery from Jan-Ole Gerster, starring Sam Riley, Stacy Martin, and Jack Farthing. Set against the haunting beauty of Fuerteventura, it follows Tom, a washed-up tennis pro turned resort coach, numbing his emptiness with alcohol and fleeting affairs until a chance encounter with a mysterious family offers him a dangerous escape.Interview - Julie Pacino: On her debut feature I Live Here Now, Pacino discusses using horror to explore personal trauma, her decision to shoot on film, and inspirations from David Lynch to Jane Schoenbrun.Interview - Zlatko Burić, Ella Rumpf and Harry Lagoussis: The cast and director of Novak share the film's unusual inspiration, including the myth of Atlantis, and their collaborative process.Interview - Constantine Costi: Director of The Golden Spurtle talks about discovering this charming documentary subject, working with Charlie Miller, and capturing both the quirky porridge competition and the warmth of a Highland community.Whether you missed the festival or are curious about what is next on the cinematic horizon, this episode is your insider's guide to the films of EIFF 2025 and the ones you will want to look out for soon.
Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, Paul chose Jane Schoenbrun's second feature film, which they wrote and directed, I Saw the TV Glow (2024). The film is an allegory of the trans experience of "the egg crack" - the moment one realizes their identity doesn't correspond to their assigned gender. Throughout, Schoenbrun uses their cinematic, television, and musical influences to create a surreal, dissonant, and (spoiler; literal/figurative) heartbreaking examination of nostalgia, the narcotizing and liberating aspects of art, and a life unlived. A must-see.
"Sometimes The Pink Opaque feels more real than real life." On this episode, we're traversing The Midnight Realm and opening up a case file on Mr. Melancholy from I Saw The TV Glow. Topics include: writer/director Jane Schoenbrun's inspiration for the story, our own personal connections to the media that this is influenced by, how authentically this captures the miasma of 1990s suburbia, the way our feelings about the movie evolved after subsequent viewings, interpretations of the ending, the incredible soundtrack, and much more!

PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION: Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow! Owen's curiosity in a late-night television show called "The Pink Opaque" leads him to meet Maddy, an upper-classmen at his school. Sounds normal, but it's an off-beat arthouse coming-of-age psychological drama (with a tinge of horror) from the director of We're All Going to the World's Fair, so of course there's more to it! Tune in now!Topics:Most people over the age of, like, 40 years will likely reject the film as too weird or too complex, as a lot of what's at play is very late Millennial/Gen Z.Melvin found the film "emotionally devastating", and begins to explore what that means to him.A lot of dialogue personally connected with Melvin, whereas a lot of visuals personally connected with Kathryn, and the two share specifics.Melvin shares how Cinematic Doctrine hasn't really talked about LGBTQIA+ topics on the podcast because it's such a loaded topic in the Christian community. Even so, one of I Saw the TV Glow's main topics of exploration is gender identity and fluidity, and how it correlates to the coming-of-age experience. As such, they get into the weeds.Does it really make sense to gender-restrict activities when they have nothing to do with one's born-sexuality? How do things in the real world become representative of genitalia?Television may exist in I Saw the TV Glow to represent desire, and the dichotomy between getting lost in the fantasies of our desires or being propelled to act on our desires.Owen's decision at the end of the film hits the way it does because he's finally making a decision about what he's endured the whole film.I Saw the TV Glow is extremely dense and profoundly nuanced, and Melvin is positive that Kathryn and he have barely scratched the surface.Recommendations:Jim Henson Idea Man (2024) (Documentary)Smile 2 (2024) (Movie)MAILBAG: Send questions with your first name and we'll answer them in future episodes!

Welcome to 2025! Evan is off this week, but Megan and Dave are here to talk about I SAW THE TV GLOW (2:26), writer-director Jane Schoenbrun's horror-fantasy about Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine), two teens obsessed with a TV show called “The Pink Opaque,” with airs on Saturday nights past Owen's bedtime. This was Megan's top movie of 2024, so she has lots to say, as does Dave, who found its performances excellent, its look great, and its steeped-in'-90s-culture vibe spot-on. But despite picking up on its trans allegory, Dave was pretty confounded, so he and Megan have a lively talk about it. Then they get to THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG (24:47), Mohammad Rasoulof's thriller set in Iran in 2022 amid the anti-theocracy protests and the violence that came with them. Iman (Missagh Zareh), a recently-promoted investigating judge, is given a gun - to protect himself and his family - along with his new position. His wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani) and daughters are actually the main characters, and this family drama turns thriller when the gun goes missing. There's more to it than that (it's two hours and 47 minutes, after all), and it's compelling as hell, and we had a great talk about it. Over on Patreon, we talk about the 1995 comedy PARTY GIRL starring Parker Posey.

[REBROADCAST FROM May 1, 2024] "I Saw the TV Glow" is a new horror-meets sci-fi thriller about a teen who gets drawn into a mysterious TV show and loses his grip on reality. We speak with star Justice Smith and director Jane Schoenbrun about the film, which The Guardian calls "stunning" and "devastating."

The director Jane Schoenbrun first became known for their 2021 movie “We're All Going to the World's Fair,” which tapped into a teenaged fascination with the culture of viral memes. Jane's latest film, “I Saw the TV Glow,” follows two suburban teens who get emotionally enmeshed in a fictional ‘90s TV show called “The Pink Opaque.” The result is a moody investigation of identity, growing up and making decisions about who you want to be. “I Saw the TV Glow” was recently nominated for six Spirit Awards, including best feature and best director. We revisit Tom Power's conversation with Jane about the film, how it relates to transness and their own experience getting intertwined in TV shows as they grew up.
It's our annual Halloween special, a look at the year in horror! We dive into the economic- and artistic wherewithal of the genre surrounded by a larger Hollywood in flux, with particular looks at breakouts like Osgood Perkins' Longlegs, Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow, Damien Leone's Terrifier 3, and maybe the most divisive movie of the year, Coralie Fargeat's The Substance. Plus, for its 25th anniversary, an appreciation of The Sixth Sense and the long shadow its twist ending still seems to cast over the career of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.

I Saw the TV Glow is a strange and pleasantly unsettling new film from writer and director Jane Schoenbrun. It's about two teenagers (Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine) who bond so strongly over a cult monster-of-the-week TV show that it becomes their entire identities. When the show gets canceled, their bond dissolves – until years later, when one of the teens sweeps back into the other's life, bearing secret knowledge that could change everything.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
