About this episode

The hosts discuss their experience watching the horror movie Backrooms and its unsettling qualities.

We’re so glad we actually went to see Backrooms while it was still in the theater, partly because it’s exactly the kind of horror movie we like: scary, light on the gore, smart, just enough jump scares, and most of all intensely WEIRD. It’s deliciously unsettling and we could just marinate in that uncanny anti-nostalgia... The post Binary System Podcast #511 – Backrooms, and WTNV #290 “A Solution” first appeared on Pixelated Geek .
