But they were fully unaware of what the mythology of it was.

But I was fascinated to be like, oh, you're not worried about whether or not...

like, Back Rooms makes any sense, you're worried about whether Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renata Rhimes would make any sense in Back Rooms.

Or would it be cool if these influencers went to an abandoned casino?

But they're all, like, essentially a bad...

Oh, yeah.

Like the Busta Rhymes one.

Yeah.
