    The Pink Opaque! Raymond and Austin are joined by Mallory Blair to talk Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW. Listen along as they peel apart the many layers in this film, from the nuanced trans experience of "cracking open the egg" in the character's self-discovery, to the specificity of Schoenbrun's direction, to the philosophical metaphors we can use to get the most meaning out of this film.
