Robert LambHOST
Now, if you know anything about back rooms, you probably know that it concerns in no small way the horror of liminal spaces, chiefly in the form of what appears in the film as a seemingly endless realm composed of yellowish rooms with harsh fluorescent lighting and these vast halls and Rooms seem to be lifeless for the most part, disconnected from our own physical reality, and shrouded in mystery.
Robert LambHOST
It's a cool concept that, as you pointed out, has roots in sort of creepypasta groupthink, and then has been, I think, more solidified in the ideas of filmmaker Kane Parsons, who is the director of this film.
Robert LambHOST
He created a number of videos that were published online that explored this concept.
Robert LambHOST
And also, you know, you can see various other clear influences on the design as well.

All right, let's talk about the people who made this movie.

The director of the film is Kane Parsons, I believe we mentioned already, born in 2005.
Robert LambHOST
American filmmaker and musician, often credited online as Kane Pixels, whose prior work mostly took the form of web series videos created for YouTube and the like.

William BibbianiHOST
Sinners, yeah.
Witney SeiboldHOST
I think when we see the video put up by people like Curry Barker and Kane Parsons, we're learning to be fans of them.
Witney SeiboldHOST
And we're turning our eyes more to the director to see a movie.
Witney SeiboldHOST
I'm curious to see what you think about this idea, because I've loved your analyses on industry trends in the past.

Witney SeiboldHOST
And they like that actor as Spider-Man.
William BibbianiHOST
But to our listeners' point, people did go to see a Curry Barker movie.
William BibbianiHOST
People did go to see a Kane Parsons movie.
William BibbianiHOST
People did go to see a Gooseworks movie when...
JoseHOST
I was on break or lunch, I think.
JoseHOST
And I opened it up and I'm like, what is this guy doing? This guy's playing Needle in a Haystack.
JoseHOST
No,
Señor D'ohnutHOST
it's actually called Find the Needle.
Señor D'ohnutHOST
all right whatever dude
JoseHOST
whatever
Señor D'ohnutHOST

JoseHOST
god damn i hate these
Dan RyanHOST
It's a bummer.
Dan RyanHOST
What is potentially not a bummer, though... is this report from IGN that Kane Parsons has confirmed meetings with Valve, but will not adapt their games if it can't be done right.
Dan RyanHOST
I would defend a future where we don't even go down that room.
Dan RyanHOST
Backrooms director Kane Parsons has had meetings with Valve.
Dan RyanHOST
but has no plans to adapt any of his games if it can't be done well.
Dan RyanHOST
He has very publicly spoken that he would like to make a Portal movie, which could be really fucking cool.
JimHOST
Are they cool? They're so incredible.
JimHOST
There's kind of like fun action puzzle games, sci-fi, and Kane Parsons, who did The Back Rooms, which, by the way, I re-watched with my kids.
JimHOST
I fucking loved it, again.
JimHOST
It was fun.
Holly WainwrightHOST
And Back Rooms came out at the movies a few months ago, and it was a massive sensation.
Holly WainwrightHOST
And the reason for that is, Back Rooms is a creation of a young man called Kane Parsons, who is still only 20-ish now, but when he was a teenager, like Billy's age, He started, well, there's a lot of debate about exactly where it started, but he became known for making these short little films about a place called The Back Rooms, which was inspired by a picture that was on Reddit or someplace, whatever.
Holly WainwrightHOST
But it's basically like, it's kind of like our office.
Holly WainwrightHOST
If nothing was in it, it was completely empty.
Tracy HarwoodHOST
Kane...
Tracy HarwoodHOST
I want to call him Kane Pixels, but that's not his name.
Tracy HarwoodHOST
Kane somebody.
Damien ValentineHOST
I had this really weird realisation that South Park as a show is older than he is.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
But, you know, Back Rooms has done extraordinarily well considering it had a micro sized budget.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
It comes from director Kane Parsons, who I believe was 20 or 21 when this came out.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
So very, very young director.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renata Renswe and Mark Duplass.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
Sorry if I butchered their names a little bit off the cuff.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
And it's not explained, but it doesn't necessarily earn that lack of explanation necessarily.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
And we're always, you know, whenever something's not explained, it just needs to be earned.
Ryan DerousseauHOST
And in this case, you know, it may not have been depending on your, you know, your, your layers of interest in this, but it was also still very quite good, especially for such a young director.
Chris StachiwHOST
Like, Curry Barker was taking more or less everything he made on YouTube and turning that into Obsession.
Chris StachiwHOST
And same with Kane Parsons, who made Backrooms.
Chris StachiwHOST
Like, the Backrooms movie is a distillation of all of that.
Chris StachiwHOST
And, again, we could sit and have a conversation about the lore of that for 12 hours and still have only covered a third of it.
