Yellow Walls. Bad Vibes · Backrooms (2026) with Russell's Reserve Bourbon Single Barrel

Welcome back to Midnight Movie Distillery where we watch the movies you've heard about… and drink the whiskey that helps us argue about them. Tonight we're reviewing Backrooms — A24's adaptation of Kane Parsons' viral YouTube liminal-space horror series. A furniture-store owner opens a door in his basement that leads to an endless dimension of yellow-carpeted office rooms; his therapist follows him in when he goes missing. Kane Parsons was 16 when he started the Backrooms creepypasta on YouTube, 20 when he directed this feature, and just became the youngest filmmaker to open at #1 at the US box office. A24's highest grosser ever, and they even released an extended "Everything Must Go" cut. Paired with it: Russell's Reserve Bourbon Single Barrel — a hand-selected pull from Wild Turkey's cask program. Not everyone was on the same page about the movie. The pour brought us closer to agreement. So pour yourself something strong… don't wander through any doors you can't come back through… and let's see whether the yellow rooms live up to the hype. ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Intro 02:00 - Alcohol Review 17:00 - Alcohol Barrel Rating 30:48 - Movie Review 32:45 - Movie Barrel Rating 1:08:00 - Outro ▬ Midnight Movie Distillery — watch it, drink it, rate it ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ All our horror + whiskey reviews: midnightmoviedistillery.com #midnightmoviedistillery #podcaster #podcasts #horrorpodcast #horrorjunkie #horrormovie #horrorfan #horror #horrormovies #2026horror #backrooms #backroomsmovie #kaneparsons #kanepixels #a24 #liminalspaces #chiwetelejiofor #renatereinsve #markduplass #whiskey #whisky #whiskeylife #whiskeytasting #bourbon #bourbonreview #russellsreserve #singlebarrel #wildturkey #kentuckybourbon
