And so it's Colleen Hoover and it's whoever wrote The Housemaid, whose name escapes me.

Can I say something about that?

Well, but then that would just be a YouTube video, you know, and the thing that it was really exciting to me about Backrooms in particular is we talk so much about how all movies now have to have meme culture and have to exist outside of themselves as movies in order to sell and to be recognized and to have any chance of surviving.

But this took a meme and made it into like a real ass movie.

And I just, that's hard to do.

And it's essential, I guess, to getting people to the movie.

But I was impressed.

I was like, hey, you did it.

You made internet culture into actual cinema.

Yeah, so I think I admired the parts that thrilled Chris, and then...

I couldn't get my arms around the movie part as much, which is why I personally go to the movies.

But I will say I knew nothing about Backrooms.

I mean, I knew it was like an Internet.

I knew it was an Internet thing.

I knew that Chiwetel and Ejiofor and Renata Rons were going to be in it.

But I didn't see anything ahead of time.

I tried to go in like a blank slate.

And it worked for me in the room.

You know, my brain smooths a little bit in different ways when I see tracking shots into rooms for like three hours.

But that's OK.
