Was applying for co-ops and noticed something odd in their employment equity section.... no option for if you're indigenous and have Indian status! (This probably sounds weird to non-indigenous and/or non-Canadian, just trust me, it excludes a lot of people... including me! 🙃)

Thinking about this again, I hadn’t actually watched the original Backrooms yt series (because soooo much analog horror is just… bad. So despite loving the genre in theory I don’t consume a lot.) I was honestly surprised by how many of the weird internet interests I accrued were up there on screen.

One thing that impressed me is how accurate it felt as a period piece (seems to take place mid-90s) despite the director being too young to have experienced it first hand. It’s a mistake I see a lot with analog horror made by Gen Z which kind ruins a lot of videos for me.

I think my favourite part honestly was just all the surreal, dreamlike and liminal set pieces. Some scenes felt nostalgic and taken directly from my own dreamscapes. The actual horror/plot stuff was whatever, I was there for the ambiance.

It’s not like I think it’s the perfect movie or anything. But it made me feel oddly seen, because I am so used to enjoying weirdcore/liminal media alone and having no one to talk to about it. (Though I am a little embarrassed about my incoherent gushing after the movie.)

I remember mentioning I wanted to improve my French for better job prospects, and was recommended an amazing 2-week full time French Immersion program you could take at a Quebec resort town, and I looked it up later and it’s $3,000… Like…. bruh.
