Backrooms — Did It Live Up To The Hype?

The Movie Marathon Podcast walks through the wall to discuss the A24 horror film from 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons, adapting his own viral web series into an A24 smash hit feature debut starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve. The episode covers the production story behind the film's practical sets, the trauma-as-monster concept the film builds around, and a full breakdown of that divisive ending. Does the Backrooms concept hold up at feature length? The Binge Bros weigh in.

What is Movie Marathon Podcast?

The Movie Marathon Podcast is a film podcast built around the binge. We marathon entire franchises and films from start to finish — one movie per episode — covering the production history, the casting, the performances, and what each film actually means. Our rewatches are tied to new releases and culturally relevant moments, so there's always a reason to be listening.

Whether you've seen the movie 30 times or you just came out of the theater, every episode is a deep dive. Every binge is intentional. And every opinion was formed by watching the movies before we turned on our mics. Welcome to the Binge Bros, let's marathon some movies.

New episodes every Tuesday.
