Who hasn't remembered being young, listless, and full of strong opinions about weirdo art and music? Listen, if you're coming to the Hyperreal Film Clubhouse, chances are that was you. It's a lonely time feeling teenaged and alienated, and that emotional turmoil is perfectly captured in the 2001 cult classic Ghost World. Based on Daniel Clowe's comic of the same title, the film follows Thora Birch and a pre-stardom Scarlett Johansson as two teenage girls tired of the world. Into their malaise-filled friendship comes sad, eccentric semi-loser adult man Seymour, played by Steve Buscemi, and the trio has to navigate what it means to grow up.

Cringe at the memories this brings back, ache for that teenage passion you used to have, and breath a sigh of relief that your social life is so much healthier than Seymour's, even if your obsessions aren't all that different.
