In another first for the podcast, THREE intrepid co-hosts - returning co-host Kai McAlister, and new joiners Judah Arreola and Lemuel Johnson - join Evan in discussing the cultural phenomenon known as the Backrooms. What is it, why is it so popular, and what are our hopes for the upcoming Backrooms movie? We also broaden the discussion to include wider commentary on liminal spaces, and what makes them so compelling as a medium for storytelling.
