Backrooms (2026)
Shownotes
We managed to find time to wander aimlessly through the fluorescent lit yellow wallpapered nightmare of Kane Parsons’ Backrooms.
Join Dan and a moderately functional Sarah as she recounts the joy of following a horror movie with a 3am trip to a real-life liminal hospital corridor for a CT scan.
In this episode we dive into:
- The rise of Kane Parsons and how a 20-year-old turned a creepy pasta inspired YouTube series into a feature film.
- Why 75% of the budget was seemingly spent on suspended ceilings and why that works.
- The unusual vibes of the film.
- How Dan managed to connect with this one while filling his disenfranchised man quota.
- Why movies like Obsession and Backrooms are dominating the box-office now.
We shall return!
On August 3rd we're back with a brand new season. This time chosen by Dan. The new theme is "Size Doesn't Matter" and the first film we're sizing up is Ant-Man (2015).
