It’s wild to me to see something like the backrooms reach mainstream appeal, moreso than even Slenderman, considering the core concept was a 4chan /x/ post that wasn’t good enough for SCP at a time when SCP not only had divorced itself from 4chan but from quality as well.
 
Great video, took me back to the times they seemed to give a shit. Surprisingly respectful and positive on the younger generation and other youtubers breaking into mainstream filmmaking (apart from making fun of the autistic zoomer director through editing). Even when Jay mentioned seeing Shelby Oaks, Mike guessed "so it wasn't that bad?" without any malice, before Jay revealed that nah it sucked. Even with slight spoilers made me interested in seeing the actual movie, something they haven't managed in quite a while.
 
This garbage looks like it was shot with a phone, and not even a decent one.

That instantly looks more entertaining than the A24 film.

Aw yeah - check out that framed drawing of a slice of pizza in the trailer:

 
I can't wait to watch Obsession with brightness turned up 30%!

By the way, Youtube absolutely bitraped this trailer. Just look at this. For comparison, this HITB episode is 1600kb/s.

I thought they were making fun of the film "journalists" asking retarded questions. I think Kane was expecting actual questions about the story, not "If you had a door to the backrooms how long would you stay there?" kind of shit.

Maybe, but these guys know how silly you can make someone look through editing so I took the excessive focus on the dude's zoomer stare as a point to show his social awkwardness. If the point was the opposite I'd have lingered much less on him and more on the journalist.

Agreed, that's the tone I got from the interview edits. They seem to like/respect Kane Parsons, they play a positive quote from him at 31:41.
 
The series was cancelled after one of the lead actresses, Tara Streeter was mauled by a lion on set. The production was immediately halted, but ultimately the 3 episodes filmed were released with footage of the lion limited to cutaway shots. Tara suffered life changing injuries and quit the film industry.
That read like something a rlm fan put in.
