Podcast appearances and mentions of Chiwetel Ejiofor

Horror has been killing it at the box office these last few weeks, with A24's Backrooms being the second punch after Obsession. Kane Parsons, who rose to fame for his viral "Backrooms" YouTube videos, brings his uncanny creation to life on the big screen. But does this liminal psychological thriller live up to the hype that comes with being the first feature-length Backrooms adaptation? It's a ponderous flick, and maybe too much so. Listen in to our discussion. About Backrooms After a therapist's patient (Clark, Chiwetel Ejiofor) disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she (Mary, Renate Reinsve) must venture into the unknown to save him.

Send us Fan MailOn this 120th episode of the Triple FFF we're going to chip away at the rock solid box office pairing of Author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard as we discuss their two sci fi smash hits, 2015's The Martian  directed by Ridley Scott and starringMatt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Michael Peña, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, MacKenzie Davis, Donald Glover, and Jeff Daniels along with 2026's Project Hail Mary directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Millerstarring Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz as the lovable and wacky alien Rocky. Returning to the show to discuss these crowd-pleasing and visually spectacular space epics is none other than Dr. David Johnson, DMD, whom I've called upon as a secret weapon in the last three films we've discussed because they were squarely in his wheelhouse: dancing and strutting his stuff with Michael, putting on a tough fit with Prada 1 & 2 and now his biggest passion and strength, HARD SCIENCE.  Before we drift into deep space, the synopses: In the Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is impaled and presumed dead during a wicked Martian storm which causes his crew of astronaut/explorers  to launch an emergency evacuation. Alive, wounded and alone on Mars Watney must use science, engineering, and endurance to survive long enough for Earth to mount an impossible rescue mission. In Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace, a lone astronaut suffering from memory loss, awakens aboard a spacecraft on a desperate deep-space mission and gradually discovers he is humanity's last hope against a cosmic extinction event. Along the way, he encounters an alien astronaut from another species sent on a similar mission to protect its own civilization. Can the two work together to save their respective planets? Are these films fabulous or fails? Find out!  Watch the podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/KqQbMzJx6wY     

This week on End Credits, there's a chill in the air. No, it's not the weather, because it's finally fairly warm outside, but in the movie theatre, that's not just the air conditioning you're feeling. For the review we will finally check out the Backrooms, which is currently making bank, and we will also go back to 1976, and high school, for a lesson in kindness.  This Wednesday, June 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: 6 For '76: Carrie. Returning to our series about the movies from 1976 we arrive at what might be the scariest. Brian De Palma, still looking for his first hit, took a gamble on the first novel from a new author named Stephen King about a mousy high school student who is pranked one time too many by her classmates. We will talk about the enduring appeal of Carrie, De Palma's trademark style, and the repeated efforts to try and remake perfection. REVIEW: Backrooms (2006). This may be the story of the year: A 20-year-old first-time filmmaker, Kane Parsons, turned the YouTube series he made in high school into a movie starring two Oscar nominees that's presently outstripping a new Star Wars movie at the box office. Not too shabby, so let's talk about the movie itself, which finds a strung out man played by Chiwetel Ejiofor discovering a vast, magical enclosed space beyond the wall of his furniture store. Why does Backrooms work for audiences, and does it work for these reviewers? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week, the two of us decided to dive straight into one of the most talked-about and highly anticipated horror films of the year: The Backrooms. What began as a single unsettling image posted online anonymously has now evolved into an A24 feature film, already amassing over $200 million worldwide. We break down the origins of The Backrooms and how it's evolved over the years, from its roots on 4chan and the rise of liminal horror to becoming a viral YouTube sensation created by a teenager before eventually being picked up by A24. We discuss what worked, what didn't, what disappointed us, and what we hoped to see from the adaptation. And despite moments that genuinely impressed us, we found ourselves grappling with why some of the horror elements that worked so well online didn't translate nearly as well onto the big screen.  We also chatted about creepypastas, filming found footage, and Slender Man, and why some horror concepts might be more effective online than they are in theaters. If you've seen the film and have thoughts of your own, this is a great convo to dive into, so ... COME HANG OUT!!!

Noclip out of reality and check your fluorescent lights, because we are descending into the endless maze! This week on The Filmlosophers, Hosts Eddie and Spencer, alongside the ever-glorious Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy, prepare to lose their minds reviewing the A24 liminal horror sensation, Backrooms. The Great Summer Movie Debate Before the crew gets completely lost in the yellow-wallpapered labyrinth, Spencer derails the studio with a massive scheduling debate. With the weather heating up and theaters packing out, Spencer poses a crucial question to the table: What calendar months actually define the "Summer" movie season? Is May too early? Does August even count? The trio fiercely debates the true parameters of the summer blockbuster window while hyping up the massive, popcorn-worthy films they are most looking forward to seeing in the coming months. Surviving the Labyrinth Once the summer calendar is officially settled, the team descends into the horrifying, interconnected corridors of the internet's favorite creepypasta brought to life. The crew reviews the highly anticipated theatrical debut of YouTuber and filmmaker Kane Parsons' Backrooms. They unpack the sheer existential dread of the film's endless, empty office spaces, praise the harrowing performances of Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, and discuss how the 20-year-old director brilliantly translated his viral found-footage YouTube series into a massive, record-breaking box-office juggernaut for A24. Did the movie successfully capture the paranoid terror of the lore, or did the narrative get a little lost in its own maze? Grab your compass and mark your calendar—it's an episode full of summer release dates, A24 dread, and liminal nightmares!

This week on CinemaChat Podcast, we're stepping into the endless maze of Backrooms (2026), the feature film adaptation of the viral internet horror phenomenon. Directed by Kane Parsons, the film follows a therapist searching for a missing man who has become trapped inside a bizarre alternate reality filled with impossible architecture, mysterious entities, and more questions than answers. We discuss how effectively the film expands the mythology of the original online videos, whether its atmosphere and tension can sustain a feature-length runtime, and how the performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve help ground an otherwise surreal experience. We also examine the film's stunning visual design, and the challenge of balancing mystery with explanation. Along the way, we debate the film's ambiguous ending, compare it to other psychological and liminal-space horror films, and discuss whether Backrooms succeeds as both a standalone movie and an adaptation of a beloved internet phenomenon. So where does Backrooms rank among the year's horror releases, and did it manage to escape the curse of internet-property adaptations?

This week is an absolute monster of an episode. We are diving into the most talked-about releases of the summer—navigating endless liminal spaces, heading to Eternia with He-Man, surviving a demonic road trip, and breaking down the return of the Wayans family to the parody throne. We're kicking off with A24's massive sci-fi psychological horror phenomenon, directed by YouTube sensation Kane Parsons in his feature debut. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as a struggling furniture store owner who stumbles upon a dimension of endless, unsettling liminal spaces hidden right beneath his basement. Fun Flix Fact: The film's massive box office success made Kane Parsons the youngest filmmaker in history to reach number one at the American box office By the power of Grayskull, He-Man is back on the big screen! Directed by Travis Knight, this epic live-action adventure stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, who returns to Eternia to find his home shattered under the rule of Skeletor (Jared Leto). Fun Flix Fact: Jared Leto went to extreme lengths to stay in character and intimidate his co-stars. Director Travis Knight revealed that Leto wore his prosthetic skeletal muscle suit off-camera and regularly smeared what appeared to be blood on his face between takes! The parody godfathers are back. The Wayans brothers have returned to the franchise for the first time in 25 years, reuniting with Anna Faris and Regina Hall for a wild take on modern horror hits like Longlegs, Terrifier 3, and even the 2026 biopic Michael. Fun Flix Fact: To maintain absolute secrecy around the surprise cameos, the production filmed multiple alternate endings involving different modern horror antagonists, keeping even the cast guessing until the final cut. Rounding out our main reviews is the supernatural horror flick directed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe). Jacob Scipio and Lou Llobell star as a young couple on a road trip who witness a terrible highway accident, only to find themselves hunted by a demonic entity known only as "The Passenger." Fun Flix Fact:The production managed to keep its budget incredibly tight at $15 million, relying on claustrophobic car interiors and intense practical lighting to build relentless tension. To celebrate a quarter-century of raunchy, unapologetic comedy, we are winding the clock back to 2001. We revisit the Wayans brothers' follow-up to the blockbuster original to see how its haunted house spoofs hold up in 2026. Fun Flix Fact: Scary Movie 2 was notoriously rushed into production, hitting theaters just over a year after the first film. Despite the incredibly tight turnaround, it cemented tropes that defined early 2000s comedy cinema. And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

Backrooms (2026) Directed by: Kane Parsons Written by: Will Sudick Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell IMDB: Backrooms (2026) Episode Summary In this episode of Mindframes, Michael and Dave discuss Backrooms (2026), an A24 horror film directed by 20-year-old YouTube filmmaker and wunderkind Kane Parsons — believed to be the youngest person to ever direct a widely released feature film. The discussion covers the film's expansion of the internet liminal space phenomenon into a feature-length narrative, its Tarkovsky-esque atmosphere, and the remarkable work of cinematographer Jeremy Cox and production designer Danny Vermette in bringing 30,000 square feet of meticulously constructed sets to life. The conversation digs deep into why liminal spaces resonate so powerfully with contemporary audiences — and with Gen Z in particular — framing the backrooms not just as a horror setting but as a cultural symptom of a society in uneasy transition. Both hosts award the film five stars, with Michael calling it the best film he's seen this year.

BGH enters the liminal this week as we review 20-year-old Kane Parson's “Backrooms”, the film that's been slaughtering the competition at the box office this summer. We discuss the liminal horror movement and its ties to Gen Z anxieties, the movie versus the web series, found footage, cameos, trivia and more.   Plus, Eli Roth (and Jon's) project Ice Cream Man has a disgusting red band trailer full of murderous children, and Scary Movie has the dumbest (or best?) popcorn bucket you've ever seen.  Backrooms is an american science fiction horror film directed by Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and written by Will Soodik. It is based on Parsons' web series and inspired by the "Backrooms" creepypasta. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell.

Justin's got the week off, so Seth steps in as co-host and the conversation does not disappoint. Doug and Seth dig into a Reddit question that sent them both deep into the nostalgia rabbit hole: of all the computer games you played between 1985 and 2010, what's the one you still think about today? Seth goes back to the PC port of Final Fantasy VII — the game that defined the RPG genre for a generation of players who couldn't afford a PlayStation — and StarCraft, the game that proved the internet was both a gift and a curse once Korean players started annihilating everyone on Battle.net. Doug lands on Diablo, Counter Strike, Half-Life, and Team Fortress from what he describes as the best summer of his life, plus Warcraft II and the legendary dorm-vs-dorm Counter Strike leaderboard that consumed an entire semester. Seth adds Morrowind and the Halo 2 university network wars, including the top-ranked player named Mixomatosis who turned out to live three doors down and was simply a different kind of person. The gaming conversation rolls naturally into a deep dive on Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, and hero shooter culture — the difference between quick match and competitive, the rage of random teammates, why role-locking exists, and why you absolutely should not be trying out a new character in ranked. But first: Doug's mom has a long history of purging spices from the family pantry, and it explains a lot about his childhood. From there Doug and Seth debate overrated recipes (the dump-and-bake casserole situation has gotten out of hand), wage war over cottage cheese, and discover halloumi together in real time. Underrated picks include millionaire shortbread and candied pecans — two things that deserve far more attention. Plus fair food: dirty, suspect, and somehow perfect. A quick Clair Obscure Expedition 33 check-in leads into the episode's new game: AI or LinkedIn? Doug reads posts and Seth has to guess whether each one is a genuine LinkedIn post or AI generated. The results are both funnier and sadder than expected — especially the guy who timed his lunch at four minutes and 37 seconds because what isn't measured doesn't improve. This week's recommendations: Seth — Taskmaster (free on YouTube, 21 seasons). Five comedians, bizarre tasks, Greg Davies and Alex Horne hosting. One of the best shows you haven't watched yet. Doug — The Backrooms (A24). Directed by 20-year-old Kane Parsons based on the viral liminal space internet lore. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars. One of A24's highest-grossing films. Go see it. Plus: what even is SCP? Seth explains, and the answer sends Doug down a rabbit hole he didn't budget time for.   Subscribe: youtube.com/mindgappodcast  Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/T3HwyEw5v7  Listen everywhere you get podcasts  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mindgappodcast Merch on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/67768184

Vi har sett Backrooms og prøver å finne ut hva vi synes om den forvirrende internettfenomenfilmen. I denne episoden snakker vi om Kane Parsons Backrooms med Renate Reinsve og Chiwetel Ejiofor. Vi går inn på konseptet liminal space, found footage og internettmyten bak filmen. I tillegg diskuterer vi hvorfor Backrooms og Obsession gjør det så bra på kino akkurat nå, og om dette sier noe om hvor Hollywood er på vei. Er Hollywood klar for nye stemmer? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Backrooms var et meme under Corona, men kan det noget på det store lærred?I denne episode af Betacritic har Jacob Ege Hinchely besøg af kulturjournalist og anmelder Christopher Leo Andersen (Dårligdommerne, Månebasen), og de går i dybden med to nye titler: Backrooms og Masters of the Universe.Den kun 20 årige Kane Parsons har instrueret sin første film, Backrooms. En film der handler om et mystisk liminalt rum, som ikke ligner at have nogen ende. I hovedrollerne ser vi Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange) som prøver at nå til bunds i mysteriet om the Backrooms, sammen med sin psygolog spillet af Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value). Både Jacob og Christopher er meget begejstret over hvor vellykket den her film er, og hvordan de stadigvæk tænker på filmen mange dage efter.Derefter kigger de på Masters of the Universe, en film der har været næsten 20 år under udvikling. Filmen er et live action take på “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe”. I hovedrollen finder vi Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You, Handsome Devil) som He-Man, der skal finde en vej tilbage til sit eget univers, efter at være strandet på Jorden. Vi ser også Jared Leto (Suicide Squad, Blade Runner 2049), som den ikoniske Skeletor, og ham skal He-Man og resten af banden sætte en stopper for! Jacob og Christopher var begge meget nostalgiske omkring He-Man, og de var begge overrasket over hvor meget comedy der var i filmen, måske endda lidt for meget mente de.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

Based upon the viral online phenomenon which he helped launch, YouTube creator Kane Parsons has directed this somewhat expiremental horror thriller focusing on an unique realm containing a never-ending series of strange rooms and corridors.  The story focuses on a troubled recent divorcee (Oscar-nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor) who owns a failing furniture store which contains a hidden door to this realm.  Once he enters, he begins exploring this realm and becomes obssessed with figuring it.  Oscar-nominee Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value, The Worst Person In the World) plays his troubled therapist who also eventually investigates....and liminal horror ensues!  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The new horror movie Backrooms is about some of the creepiest places imaginable: the nondescript, beige-carpeted rooms that populate countless office spaces and discount furniture warehouses. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as the manager of a pirate-themed furniture store, who, as he discusses with his therapist (Renate Reinsve), discovers a secret labyrinth of backrooms – each with a strange and unsettling design. Directed by Kane Parsons, based on his “creepypasta”-inspired web series, the movie doesn't have a plot so much as a deeply unnerving sense of place.If you're looking for more moody horror, check out these episodes:In ‘Obsession,' love hurts.

Get lost in the corridors of the most surreal blockbuster...ever? This New Movie Monday, we are reviewing the A24 sensation Backrooms, based on the totemic YouTube series of the same name. Of course, we can't cover Backrooms without a lengthy discussion about this cultural moment in horror cinema, off the heels of Curry Barker's breakout hit Obsession. Griffey, Heath and Sam think they have a good handle on what it all means and make the argument that the film should've been even MORE abstract. We do our best to not get lost in the maze of this counfounding film while praising the performance of Chiwetel Ejiofor, the novel vision of director Kane Parsons and, of course, the most messed up moment in the movie. Synopsis: After a therapist's patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she must venture into the unknown to save him. Director: Kane Parsons Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass

Directed by YouTube phenomenon Kane Parsons in his feature film debut, Backrooms is an A24 psychological horror movie. It follows a struggling, recovering-alcoholic furniture store owner (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his therapist (Renate Reinsve) as they discover a mysterious entrance to an endless, labyrinthine alternate dimension of empty, liminal rooms.

We're shaking up a Peach Old Fashioned in The Lobby Bar this week to celebrate a historic moment for independent horror! We dive into the massive opening of Kane Parsons' Backrooms, which just shocked Hollywood by shattering studio records and claiming the number one spot at the box office. We discuss the film's chilling atmosphere, Chiwetel Ejiofor's performance, and what this massive win means for the future of digital-first creators hitting the big screen.Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

Segur que us ha passat com a nosaltres i cada cop que escolteu un anunci a la tele amb la seva veu, teniu la necessitat imperiosa de comprar aquell producte. El convidat d'aquest programa porta molts anys fent doblatge i anuncis. Us sonarà per ser la veu habitual de Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon a TWD), Karl Urban (Carnicero a The Boys), Aaron Eckhart (Dos Caras a El caballero oscuro), Jason Clarke (John Connora Terminator: Genesis), Joel Edgerton (Materia Oscura) o Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 años de esclavitud).

We're kicking off the weekend with an absolutely packed episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you: BACKROOMS. There's so much buzz and expectation about this steadily creepy horror movie from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons. It's definitely effective in creating a feeling of unease that lingers long afterward, and it's a wonder of production design. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as the owner of a furniture store who discovers a sprawl of surreal office spaces. Renate Reinsve is his therapist who tries to save him. Check back for our LIVE spoiler chat on Tuesday at Noon Pacific at our YouTube channel. In theaters. POWER BALLAD. Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas co-star in the latest from writer-director John Carney ("Once," "Sing Street," "Begin Again"). Rudd is a wedding singer who never made it big; Jonas is a pop star who wants to prove he's a serious artist. A night of drinking and collaborating leads to a smash hit, but the credit is in question. We don't agree on this one. In theaters in limited release before opening nationwide June 5.

For this week's main podcast review, Ema Sasic, Katie Johnson, Sara Clements, Alyssa Christian, and Brendan Hodges join me to review and discuss "Backrooms" starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett & Lukita Maxwell. Directed and co-scored by Kane Parsons (in his feature-length directorial debut at the young age of 20 years old) and written by Will Soodik, this A24 horror film is based on Parsons's web series of the same name, inspired by the "Backrooms" creepypasta. It has developed a massive following online, which we're seeing reflected in its overperforming box office, and has generated a ton of interest and conversation surrounding horror films in Hollywood today, the pipeline from YouTube creators to filmmakers, liminal horror spaces, Renate Reinsve's dominance over 2026, and more!

The online sensation, Backrooms, has been turned into a feature film! Ashley & Matt are here to share their (spoiler-free) thoughts on the new horror/thriller/sci-fi movie.

Lara Peters talks to actor Chiwetel Ejiofor about his new film, Backrooms, in cinemas now from A24.  1990. A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom. Its troubled proprieter, Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), ventures through and discovers a dimension beyond reality, made up of seemingly mundane, seemingly endless rooms. When Clark disappears into the recesses of the rooms, his therapist Mary (Renate Reinsve) ventures into the unknown to save him – and discovers the dark truths that lay within.

Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo made a date to meet in the Backrooms while Pam Boland watched Say Anything on a plane. So yeah, you could say Movie Squad is back on its bulls***. On their latest Breakfast meeting, Tristan and Simon share their thoughts on Kane Parsons' big screen adaptation of his creepypasta-inspired webseries Backrooms, with Renate Reinsve and Chiwetel Ejiofor falling into his sparse and spooky liminal space. It's now showing in cinemas. Then, they review friend-of-the-show Radu Jude's Dracula, a satirical and obscenely trashy take on Romania's relationship with its famous bloodsucker (and film's relationship to AI), as only the iconoclastic Jude could make. It's now available on digital platforms. Stay tuned for a pod exclusive chat in which Simon and Tristan talk a little more about Radu Jude's provocations, and decide whether or not Chiwetel Ejiofor's unfortunate streak of a decade of bad films has finally ended. Learn about the new season of Tristan's Trash Classics screenings at Luna Cinemas held on the last Friday of every month. Be sure to tune in to RTRFM every Friday at 7:30am to hear Movie Squad live on Breakfast with Pam!

Benvenuti in questo nuovo episodio di 16NONI, dove analizziamo il panorama cinematografico attuale tra horror virali e grandi classici. Apriamo il sipario con Backrooms, l'inquietante esordio di Kane Parsons che, dopo aver spopolato sul web, conquista il grande schermo: un incubo liminale che gioca con la realtà, supportato da un cast di alto livello con Chiwetel Ejiofor e Renate Reinsve. Dalla tensione psicologica passiamo all’impegno civile con No Good Men della regista Shahrbanoo Sadat. Ambientato a Kabul, è un racconto potente sulla lotta di una donna per la propria dignità e la propria voce in un contesto dove il pregiudizio sembra dominare, offrendo uno sguardo crudo sulla condizione femminile poco prima del ritorno dei talebani. Infine, spazio alla nostalgia e alla grande regia: torna in sala, in una imperdibile versione integrale, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Un evento che riporta l’iconica “Sposa” di Tarantino sul grande schermo, mescolando arti marziali e vendetta in un’esperienza visiva totale. Restate sintonizzati, perché dopo il cinema ci addentreremo nelle serie TV più attese della stagione! L'articolo 16NONI: Incubi digitali, impegno sociale e il ritorno della Sposa proviene da Young Radio.

Kane Parsons made the Backrooms on YouTube when he was only sixteen. Over 200 million views later, A24 has handed him his feature debut, making him the studio's youngest director ever at 20. But the yellow walls still don't end.This week Laura Gommans and Elliot Bloom go into the maze and come back with an answer that has very little to do with what's actually inside. The Backrooms, they argue, is about us, stuck in our own feedback loop, drifting through vacant spaces. Online, half the internet thinks Kane Parsons couldn't have directed such a hit so young. Mark Duplass, who was on set the whole time, says they're wrong. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve carry the screen, with James Wan and Osgood Perkins producing. Laura and Elliot ask: what does it take to direct a feature like this at 20 with a crew this experienced? And has A24 found its next pipeline for talent — skipping film school for YouTube horror directors?Get tickets to Backrooms @ LAB111Get tickets to ⁠⁠Cine of The Times: The Fast And The Furious⁠⁠ @ LAB111 Get tickets to Straight To Video: Nightmare At Noon @ LAB111A film podcast from LAB111 — Amsterdam's arthouse cinema for independent and cult films.

Inside Man is a clever heist film with the twist staring you in the face from the beginning. It's also the first Spike Lee or Jodie Foster film to be reviewed on Have You Ever Seen in quite some time. Foster and Denzel Washington's scenes together are fantastic. The 2 of them, plus Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe and Chiwetel Ejiofor deliver. Ironically, though, for a film with such intensity for 2 straight hours, the actors are generally calm. Well, Denzel is showboating, but he's Denzel. You can't reign in that charisma machine. So for my 734th episode, settle in to hear about a snappy caper film as I monologue about Spike Lee's biggest hit, Inside Man. Subscribe to Have You Ever Seen in your app. Rate and review it too.

Mike’s favorite season is Summer Blockbuster season. However, he is feeling differently after the list came out of the Top 10 most anticipated movies of Summer 2026, according to 7,000+ people surveyed by Fandango. He tears into the list but also gives why he is hopeful that Gen Z will keep movie theaters alive. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about the Apple TV movie ‘Outcome’ starring Keanu Reeves. He plays Reef Hawk, a damaged Hollywood star who must look into his past to confront demons and make amends after he is extorted with a mysterious video clip. Mike shares his thoughts on Jonah Hill as a director, questions Keanu Reeves recent role choices and why this comedy falls flat. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about the new horror movie called Backrooms. It stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as an employee who stumbles upon a mysterious doorway that leads into an endless nightmare space and is directed by Kane Parsons who is only 20 years old!

The Munsons welcome back guest Munson Josh Outing, fresh off being part of the team behind the short film Welcome, which premiered at the Florida Film Festival on April 11, 2026. As we dive into the remarkable career of Chiwetel Ejiofor, we humbly ask for a bit of grace from listeners—there are almost certainly a few mispronunciations along the way, but it comes from a place of admiration for a name and career that deserve to be said correctly and respected fully. We applaud Ejiofor for never changing his name to something more “marketable” for American audiences—a decision that may have limited his pop culture reach but only adds to his authenticity. From his early theater training to his commanding presence across film and television, it's clear that stage discipline has shaped every performance. He consistently takes on challenging material, never shying away from stories centered on heavy themes like slavery and genocide, while still finding room for range—yes, including his wildly entertaining turn as the over-the-top villain in Four Brothers, which we proudly label a “good bad movie.” The Munsons gush over some of his best work in Redbelt, Kinky Boots, 12 Years a Slave, and Children of Men, while also diving into one of our favorite ridiculous tropes: the “hot scientist” casting phenomenon (2012, The Martian, Venom: The Last Dance—you know the type). We take a detour to appreciate just how stacked 2013 was for film, and highlight Ejiofor as one of the rare Munsons who has written, directed, and starred in his own project. Finally, we break down his take on Scar and how it compares to the legendary Jeremy Irons, because that's a debate worth having. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out. The Josh Outing Collection We are thrilled to welcome back filmmaker and writer Josh Outing! Bringing a decade of narrative and documentary experience, Josh's insights into performance and "bearing witness" to art always elevate the conversation.
