Okay wasn't expecting some of these cameos in Backrooms (2026) *SPOILERS*
I have never seen him not dominate his role
Whether he's a main character or otherwise it seems like Jesse Plemons never fails to deliver on his roles.
Breaking Bad
Civil War
The Power of the Dog
Killers of the Moon Flower
I SAW BACKROOMS
Ask anything about the movie I’ll answer with no spoilers
Backrooms | 5/20 Advanced Screening
Was lucky enough to Catch an advanced screening tonight. The set design is a triumph itself. Genuinely claustrophobic and felt like a bizarre fever dream.
Ejiofor is a notable stand-out. I won't give away much of anything, but he perfectly molds into his character.
Reinsve was not as strong—hard to fathom this is the same actor who gave us phenomenal performances in Sentimental Value and The Worst Person in the World.
If you are read up on the lore, Parsons delivered. But, I will say this one will not be for everyone. Parsons leaves a lot to be desired in a near 2-hour long runtime.
Backroom Research Team hat - special access email with code
Silly me i thought the code would be to get it heavily discounted or free. but only $4.50 and still gotta pay shipping. Nice.
Apparently A24 and Neon really wanted the rights to Obsession but lost the bidding war.
What did you guys think of it? I loved it and could see why A24 wanted it so bad and it seems to fit their vibes.
Civil war 2024 Theory: the Western forces are not secessionist. They are rebels attempting to restore the United states.
In the film we are told by the president that the western forces of Texas and California are secessionist attempting to break away from the United states and form their own nations. However nothing about that makes sense and the entire story falls apart. Their flag would cause massive amounts of friendly fire and confusion, theres no way in hell California and Texas would be able to sustain an army force thousands of miles outside of their boarders in even the best conditions let alone having loosing all their supply lines, killing the president is actually counter productive to their goal of secession.
My theory The western Forces arent secestionist but a millitary rebel organization (possibly lead by the vice president) designed to restore the us constitution and depose the facist president then restore the Union. The vast majority of the us military defected over to the western forces so thats why the president isnt immediately evaced out as soon as the western forces arrived in Virginia because everyone with the technology to evac him already defected.
My evidence for them not being secessionist is because when we do see them
There flag is litterally the us flag but with only 2 stars, this would Cause so many problems for them, and there would be almost no way to distinguish whos who form from beyond point blank range.
When we see the western forces, all their tanks and APCs dont say "property of the Texas millitary" or "California millitary" or even "western forces millitary" they all say "property of the United States millitary WF" (WF spary painted UNDER the United States millitary).
With the United states congress and senate having been dissolved by the facist president, that would mean only the president would be able to recognize the independence of texas and California as sovereign nations. So killing him would actually hurt their goal. Unless they weren't trying to be independent but get rid of him directly so they can have a new president put in charge.
Secessionist ussually are never able to operate outside of their territory. We see this in the american revolutionaries who attempted to invade loyal canada they got thier ass beat. We also see this at places like Gettysburg or another place i cant remember. Theres no way In hell texas and California would be able to sustain a millitary force all the way in DC especally after loosing their supply lines as stated in the film. Not without the support of a majority of the american public, who would not be supportive of secessionist.
The only time we hear that they are secessionist is from the president, who we know: is a Facist dictator, annulled the constitution, dismantled congress/senate/FBI, and is currently engaging in airstrikes against american citizens. He has every reason to lie about them being secessionist.
Thank you for reading this im sorry for any typos I had to write this in 15 minutes and im on mobile.
Backrooms Postcard! 😊
Got my Blu-Ray order and awesome postcard! Another for the A24 physical media collection! ❤️
The Invite sparked a multi-day bidding war at Sundance with Netflix, Apple, Neon, Focus, Searchlight and A24 all in. A24 won. June 26 limited, July wide. Tracking? - YouTube
It's Wilde's third film after Booksmart overperformed and Don't Worry Darling had a complicated run. The cast is Rogen, Norton, Cruz, Wilde. R rated, 107 minutes, sex comedy angle. Sundance bidding wars don't always translate but the fact that Netflix and Apple were in it before A24 took it is at least worth watching.
Pillion BluRay: which cut in US?
Theatrical unrated cut, but the US or European theatrical unrated cut? Because there were still differences.

If the Backrooms movie is a success, should there be a Dreamcore movie? Who should direct it?
A lot of people are hoping that there will be some dreamcore scenes in the backrooms movie but i honestly believe it should be its own thing. There is so much to explore in a dreamcore movie. 🍿

variety.comIn Search of Tax Season Zine
I have been a huge lover/fan of Everything Everywhere All at Once since its release but I never really got into physical media and film collectibles until late last year.
Just realized that the Tax Season Zine is out of stock and when I tried searching for one for purchase elsewhere the only place I found was one listing on EBay for $400 that includes so many other things that I don’t need.
Would anyone happen to have an extra Tax Season Zine they would be willing to sell and or part with? I would gladly pay shipping or also pay for the zine itself if the price was decent.
TLDR: looking for Tax Season Zine to purchase
Me five minutes into ‘Sorry, Baby’.
Just finished watching it. I felt. I cried. I loved. What a wonderfully vulnerable movie.
