Films and TV shows that feel like Her Words Destroyed My Planet by Motion City Soundtrack

The frantic, neurotic experience of heartbreak colliding with sci-fi hyperbole and existential dread.

1. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010): It perfectly captures the hyper-kinetic, pop-culture obsessed energy of being young and lovesick.
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): It mirrors the song's exploration of memories that feel like a destructive, planetary event.
3. High Fidelity (2000): The cynical, obsessive cataloging of heartbreak matches the band's neurotic lyrical style.
4. (500) Days of Summer (2009): It captures the specific misery of projecting epic significance onto a relatively standard romantic failure.
5. Adventure Time (2010): Its blend of post-apocalyptic settings and deeply raw, vulnerable emotional narratives aligns with the song's sci-fi framing of sadness.
6. The End of the F***ing World (2017): This series captures the same frantic intensity and feeling of being an outsider that defines the song's tone.
7. Submarine (2011): It highlights the self-indulgent, dramatic inner monologue of a protagonist who views their world as a cinematic tragedy.
8. Donnie Darko (2001): The combination of teenage angst, sci-fi concepts, and suburban isolation echoes the song's offbeat existential dread.
