The Backrooms

This week, we’re stepping into the eerie world of The Backrooms. Based on the viral internet phenomenon and directed by Kane Parsons, A24’s adaptation takes viewers into a seemingly endless labyrinth of empty rooms, buzzing fluorescent lights, and a growing sense that something isn’t quite right. In this episode, we break down the film’s premise, discuss what worked for us, what left us wanting more, and whether The Backrooms successfully captures the unsettling magic that made the original concept a modern horror sensation. From the atmosphere and world-building to the scares and storytelling, nothing is off-limits. Whether you’re a longtime fan of liminal horror or just curious about the movie everyone is talking about, join us as we get lost in one of the internet’s most fascinating nightmares.

The Comeback Year

With a surge of buzzworthy trailers — Exit 8, Backrooms, Supergirl, Masters of the Universe, and Dune 3 — cinema is starting to feel exciting again. Big concepts, bold visuals, and stories that actually look worth showing up for… it raises the question: are we entering a true comeback year for movies? In this episode, we break down each trailer, what’s standing out, and whether this momentum is real or just another short-lived wave of hype. Are we finally getting back-to-back bangers, or are expectations getting ahead of reality? We dig into what this lineup could mean for the future of film, and whether audiences are about to fall back in love with the theater experience all over again.

The Art House Aftermath

A24 used to feel like a guaranteed win. Now? We’re not so sure. In this episode of The Art House Aftermath, we ask the uncomfortable questions: Has A24 become too artsy for its own good? Are we being hypercritical as audiences? Or are some of these films just straight-up duds that keep getting a pass because they’re labeled “art”? We dig into the hype, the hits, the misses, and the movies everyone swears are “brilliant” but never wants to rewatch. No blind praise, no automatic hate — just honest reactions, hot takes, and a little self-reflection on whether the problem is the studio… or us. If you’ve ever walked out of an A24 movie thinking “Did I miss something?” — this one’s for you.A24 used to feel like a guaranteed win. Now? We’re not so sure.
