Backrooms (2026) | Hearing Scary Noises During Hospital Night Shifts
<p>Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay confront their horrifying doppelgangers while discussing the runaway smash box office hit, 'Backrooms.' Andy starts off the episode by recalling the time he worked a late night shift in a hospital, and came across something quite disturbing. </p><p>Then the fellas try to describe a dog to someone who inexplicably has never seen one, as they dive into Kane Parsons' feature debut. They discuss how surprising it was to not only see moviegoers flock to this horror flick,but how locked-in the (mostly) young audiences were during screenings. The movie taps into the innate fear of exploring unknown liminal spaces, all while relying predominantly on vibes over storyline. A new voice in horror has officially broken through, but besides the ominous creepy feeling that pervades throughout, the film is elevated by two incredible lead performances from a spiraling Chiwetel Ejiofor, and an unnerving final girl turn from Renate Reinsve. Similar to the movie, the episode is immersively atmospheric, and will leave you staring at a refracted version of yourself.</p>
