    Backrooms, I love Boosters, Fort Ross, and Bay Area hopecore

    In this episode of BABE AREA, your local besties Anya Savina & Rita Popova examine the most recent additions to the Bay Area cinematic universe — Backrooms (set in Santa Clara) & I Love Boosters (set in Oakland) — and their connections to Marxism, Carl Jung, & RuPaul’s Drag Race. Then, the ladies reminisce about their recent girls’ trip to Fort Ross, an iconic Russian settlement on the Sonoma coast. Anya walks us through a day in the life of an 1812 Russian-American Company employee that involves killing 200 otters, while Rita recaps a trauma-fueled romantic escapade and its unlikely repercussions: a rock opera that took Russian boomers by storm & the very first Californian nun.
