545 – 90s Summer, Backrooms Revisited, Pressure, I Love Boosters

About this episode

The hosts discuss the concept of a '90s Summer', review the film 'Backrooms', and talk about 'Pressure' and 'I Love Boosters'.

This week, Patches was felled by solo-parenting, so Katey, David, and Da7e make it to the war room. Katey found a puzzling post on threads and Da7e and David try to speculate about just what a “90s Summer” would have actually been. Then, David has since seen Backrooms as have (checks box office numbers) a LOT of you, so Ehrlich gets to throw his thoughts into the endless hallways. Then, in Segment Three, Katey wants to talk about Pressure (which is NOT the one about aliens, Da7e learns) and Da7e wants to talk about I Love Boosters, so they slam them into one segment without pausing for a music break.
