SHOWNOTES: In yet another At the Movies review on Collateral Cinema, Beau and Ash hit the blunt so hard we ended up in the Backrooms! That's right; we're exploring the new A24 horror film from Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and based on his own web series: Backrooms! With yet another YouTuber making the leap to big screen cinema (see: Shelby Oaks, Iron Lung, Obsession), the impact of this indie movie's massive commercial and critical success, and our own fascination with the Backrooms creepypasta and lore, we absolutely had to cover this one. So, come get high with us and no-clip out of reality for this, and also stay tuned for the next episode of Collateral Cinema At the Movies: Supergirl!
