Nancy bravely went alone to see Backrooms and is not sure if she’s right yet. Backrooms is one of two movies Gen Z is currently obsessing over (the other is called, um, Obsession). Sarah and Nancy talk about art in the age of YouTube, what gets people to the theater, the spookiness of the unknown, and whatever “creepypasta” turns out to be.
They also discuss Sarah’s semi-viral tweet about men changing tires and RFK’s push to help Americans get off anti-depressants.
