If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in this podcast, but fret not we don’t have moist carpet, mono-yellow walls or endless fluorescent lights. What we do have is a review of Kane Parsons’ breakout horror hit with A24, Backrooms, and a watchalong of the original video that inspired the film in 2022.  Backrooms is directed by Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and written by Will Soodik.

In the film, Clark, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, a furniture store owner, and Mary played by Renate Reinsve, his therapist, discover a dimension of seemingly endless liminal spaces accessed through the basement of the store. Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell also star.

Read Receipts: A Big Screen Book Club & Margo's Got Money Troubles

It is time for our May READ RECEIPTS, a big screen book club from The Rolling Tape led by Kasey Dunifer! Every month, we read a book that’s been adapted for the screen, then we share our receipts.  So if you like movies, or books, or movies AND books, you’re in the right place — and welcome to the club!  Today we are talking about something a bit different. Instead of a film adaptation, it is a TV adaptation. We’re discussing MARGO’S GOT MONEY TROUBLES, the 2024 novel by Rufi Thorpe, which has recently been adapted into a series for Apple TV plus starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, and Nick Offerman and created by David E. Kelly. We discuss everything from the fantastical and whimsical elements of the show including the costuming and intro sequence to the challenging circumstances Margo undergoes as a mother trying to make ends meet and get by with her unconventional family and friends.  On this episode: Kasey Dunifer [https://therollingtape.com/kasey-dunifer/] Jake Fittipaldi [https://therollingtape.com/jake-fittipaldi/] Sasha Raquel [https://therollingtape.com/sasha-raquel/] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/therollingtape] Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/therollingtape] Listen Here: Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0PQMLl7VaSKWFvMTqpYXhi?si=d000de8a9ad140d7] Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rolling-tape/id1642316834] All Listening Platforms [https://therollingtape.buzzsprout.com/] Have questions?

The Awards Tape: 79th Cannes Film Festival Recap

The 79th Cannes Film Festival has come to an end, the Competition awards have been handed out, people have stood and clapped to their heart's content, and some of the most exciting films have debuted on the international scene. It was a first for The Rolling Tape to be live on the ground at the Palais as our Co-Editor-in-Chief Danny Jarabek and our amazing contributor Nandita Joshi trekked to the festival and consumed cinema like no one else. A lot of sleepless nights, a lot of early morning battle royales for online film tickets, and lots of movies to discuss.  Now that they have returned, we provide a formal recap of the festival from what's it's like to be in Cannes to a detailed rundown of all the films we saw as a team.  On this episode: Paul Rai [https://therollingtape.com/amritpal-rai/] Danny Jarabek [https://therollingtape.com/danny-jarabek/] Nandita Joshi [https://therollingtape.com/nandita-joshi/] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/therollingtape] Subscribe for Early Access and Video: The Rolling Tape Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/therollingtape] Listen Here: Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/0PQMLl7VaSKWFvMTqpYXhi?si=d000de8a9ad140d7] Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rolling-tape/id1642316834] All Listening Platforms [https://therollingtape.buzzsprout.com/] Have questions?
