In <em>I Saw the TV Glow</em>, Maddy leaves behind recordings of <em>The Pink Opaque</em> for Owen in the school darkroom. It is a quiet, out-of-the-way space where the episodes can be discovered, plucked out of time just in time for those who need it most. The darkroom becomes less a literal place and more a threshold. The place where a signal from the real world survives long enough to be found.

Here at the <strong>Double Lunch Dispatch</strong>, we couldn’t help but draw a parallel between those tapes left for Owen and the films selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. Each year, 25 films are added not because they are fashionable or newly released, but because they are deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” works of art worth preserving so they can be encountered again by future viewers, long after their original moment has passed. This series of blog posts is going on that journey of finding out what the people who were here before us are trying to say. I hope this makes sense to whoever reads this. So many ideas and attempts go into it. Fingers crossed its not garbled up.

Like the episodes of <em>The Pink Opaque</em> waiting in the darkroom, these films are held in trust, set aside so they don’t disappear into static. You can find the complete list of films preserved in the National Film Registry
