Jane Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow is infused with ’90s nostalgia, from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer-esque television show the film’s main characters watch to the movie’s mixtape soundtrack compiled by indie darlings and up-and-coming artists. With music being a formative part of Schoenbrun’s own teenage years, they were determined to curate a soundtrack that captured I Saw the TV Glow‘s distinct atmosphere as well as music’s surreal, escapist power. Instead of commissioning a disjointed end-credits song, the director wanted to integrate original songs into the movie in a more fluid way.
