I Saw the TV Glow (M)

Two misfit teens bond over their obsession with a mysterious TV show but have an identity crisis when it’s suddenly cancelled, in this Sundance and Berlinale sensation.

Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him 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.
