## Resource

The new A24 horror film is "Backrooms," and it's a huge hit AND made by a 20-year-old. Is it good? We discuss. We also dig into Nate Bargatze's feature debut "The Breadwinner." Then, in our Reboot segment, we talk about Atom Egoyan's 1994 hit "Exotica." Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music. We hope you enjoy.
