Gosh did this one hit us hard! All the emotions, Queer plots, symbolism, lighting and acting was peak in our opinion. Please let us know if we should watch any other Jane Schoenbrun movies, we know they have a new one coming out soon called "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" with Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. Let us know if we should react to that one once it hits theaters.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Please know our community will always be a safe place for everyone, especially for those who identify as trans, gay, nonbinary, queer, bi, lesbian, allies and (as we always say) everyone in between. Remember to take care of yourselves, and we will always be there to fight for y'all and use our voices!

A classmate introduces teenage Owen to a mysterious late-night TV show -- a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen's view of reality begins to crack.

I also headcanon that Owen walked out and began the journey to their true self. When I first saw this I was going in blind and had no idea about there being a trans allegory. It also happened to be a month after I came out and began medically transitioning…at age 51. I felt like I’d lived Owen’s life and knew all too well what it feels like to have life pass you by while you’re slowly suffocating. Thankfully when I watched I was in a headspace where I felt free and like I had escaped “the midnight realm,” but it was all pretty new & the idea that I could have stayed theredue to fear was absolutely horrific, and very close to home. Living with the dichotomy of identity euphoria & grief for years lost is a very strange state of mind. But living authentically late in life is vastly preferable to never experiencing that at all. I’m so grateful to this movie for its depiction of a closeted older trans person. It reassured me that I was doing the right thing, and I’ve never once thought about going back in the closet. “There Is Still Time” is such a powerful message and I speak up anytime I see someone wondering if they’re too old to transition, which sadly isn’t uncommon. It’s literally never too late to free yourself. Whether it’s sexual orientation or gender identity, never give this bigoted world the satisfaction of keeping you silent and hidden. Thank you guys 🩵🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Such an astonishingly beautiful movie. Very excited for the reaction. The way the director communicated the experience at the heart of the film was just transcendent (Tl;dr personal stuff: I grew up in the same period, in a conservative, queerphobic small town - I wasn't Owen, I WAS Maddy, with genuinely uncomfortable closeness. When I saw the first shot of the character I chuckled because I was like "oh, there's one of me, period-accurate," and as the movie progressed it got more and more under my skin. I was the Autistic goth queer girl with the restricted emotional expression and very bad social skills and the rumors and the intense dissociative relationship to fandom who spent my time in a basement watching The Shows with the other local queer kids. I was the one who was desperate to get out, and got out as fast as I could. I still think all the time about my Isabel. I still regret that when I went home, I was too traumatized and mentally ill to maintain any connections. I wasn't ready to help them. I hope they found their own way out.)

Such a gorgeous movie! First saw it at the cinema knowing little about the movie beyond the fact that Buffy and Twin Peaks fans loved it - I was so enthralled and moved, it became and instant fav ❤️ A fun little detail without spoiling anything is to think about how Buffy s5 ends and how s6 starts 😉

I wish i saw this in theaters. Im so glad you guys finally go to this movie. If you watch it twice, you pick up more hidden details. Id love to see you two do a full podcast anaylzing this movie.

I am asexual and genderqueer. I really related to the part where Maddy asks if Owen likes boys or girls, and Owen says they like tv shows. And I really felt a lot of the gender disphoria themes, and the confusion of who I really am. (Am I really Isabel or Owen? Do I even have a choice of how to present or am I stuck in the box I was put in?) Things are better for me now that I’m living more authentically, but the late 90’s were a different story. In high school, I would try so hard to act “normal,” to perform the correct gender and sexuality. I used Buffy specifically, and tv in general, as a way to escape my reality and as a way to connect to other kids. I have definitely said the line “Buffy is my favorite show of all time and always will be.” I also had multiple official Buffy episode guides, and I would tape the show every week and share it with one of my friends who wasn’t supposed to watch it. I would write things on the tape like “this one WILL make you cry” or “Willow how could you??” I saw this movie in the theater without knowing much about it, and when Amber Benson showed up, I thought “oh, so the Buffy parallels are on purpose.” The Pink Opaque to me feels like Buffy characters and themes combined with visuals of Are You Afraid of the Dark and Adventures of Pete & Pete. Which would make “young adult network” some combination of the WB and Nick.

The Dad: "isn't that s show for girls?"- that shit hit me so hard! When my friends would realize I was obsessed with Buffy back in the day, they'd always be like "huh? Thats a chick show" smh

this movie hurts even in terms of disability and how the transition from being able-bodied to disabled. i experience pain every day; there is no day where i do not experience physical pain [for ex, i slept in the wrong position last night and now i have stiff neck]. pride events that are adverstised as disabled-friendly are just performative. it's a big discourse in the disabled queer community... like, i've been in mental and physical pain for a decade and i'm pro-euthanasia. i'm ready to go lol

Rebecca Snyder

This was... beautiful and heartbreaking. I'm genderfluid but didn't really allow myself to realize it until I was almost 30 (despite accepting that I was pansexual at like 15), and I... I can relate a lot to Owen in some ways. Honestly, I have so much to say, but I'm too tired and can't sort my thoughts right because I just cried quite a bit at the ending. I loved this, though, and I hope your headcanon is right.

Buffy does have 3 episode guides :) I have them all and I must say, absolutely a necessity for any Buffy fan, very interesting and a lot of fun to read

I didn't watch this when it came out because of the run time and the milquetoast reviews/people saying it was just alright. this was so good though. i've been out for more than half of my life at this point and tell anyone and everyone willing to listen without transition i wouldn't be here, and seeing him not choose himself, to be isobel—get the dirt out of his lungs and breathe good, fresh air was devastating. it's not a life to live when you've put everything screaming inside you on the back burner. 'there is still time' is such an important reminder for anyone and everyone, though. it doesn't matter when anyone starts whatever they need to, as long as they do. thank you for deciding to watch this one after other subscribers recommended it, boys 🌟

I didn't know what to expect from this film, but I am glad to have watched it. Such a brilliant story, and personally, I needed to see this right now. I think you are right about Owen eventually coming to terms with their identity. At the beginning of the movie, they mention being too scared to even look within to really try to figure out who they are. Yet, here at the end, they took that first step toward discovering that. It was just a peek, but it was enough to calm them for the moment. I think this is why the message "There is still time" is so potent. Even if another 20 years pass, Owen still has time to take the next step in their journey. One thing I also noticed with the monologue from Maddy: it mirrors what Owen experiences at the end of the film. "I screamed as loud as I could for help. I apologized for the whole thing. And I begged God for someone to come along and save me." The rest of the monologue details how they emerged on the other side as a truer version of themselves, so I am hopeful that this is what comes next for Owen.

The real horror aspect of this film for me is that unfortunately this is the only ending a lot of us will get, and we can't do anything to change it. I live in a country where while it isn't technically completely illegal to be trans, you can't legally transition in any way. I'm reaching my 30s now and it just feels like I'll never be able to be myself because I'm stuck here, and I'm slowly suffocating to death, because I had to bury myself in the dirt. I've watched this movie so many times and it still makes me cry, but it also gives me comfort, makes me feel less alone. I'll forever be grateful for this film.

I haven’t seen this, but I’ve heard a lot about. I don’t know what it’s about, but I’ve heard it’s like a metaphor for the journey trans people go through? I’ll have to check it out with you one night.
