Hello Gretta! The very brief summary is that some creepy footage of an empty office space emerged on the internet around 2009 (I think), and it lead to a wide ranging series of images and videos produced by an online community. It also led to a hunt for where the original footage was shot, and it ended up being traced to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. All of this has inspired the new horror film, Backrooms, now playing in theaters. A far more interesting overview of all this can be found in this PBS YouTube video (it does not appear to have a paywall): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir9do-YQoC8&t=395s
Well said on BOOSTERS! I felt like I had stayed out for one more round than I should have with one of the funniest and most interesting people I know. https://notthatrobthomas.substack.com/p/boots-riley-fashions-a-wicked-satire
Thank you Rob! I forgot to add your BOOSTERS review to the Now Showing listings, but that has been added now.
Thanks Jim!
I don’t know the ‘backroom’ meme, and MJS has a paywall, so could you just tell us what it is? 😃
