The Sunday Rewatch: ‘Ghost World’
Before "main character energy" became a meme, there was Enid Coleslaw—green-haired, sarcastic, alienated, and iconic. This Sunday, we’re revisiting Ghost World (2001), the indie gem that nailed the weirdness of post-high school limbo long before social media could memeify it.
