    Episode 1: Backrooms: Everything Must Go (2026)

    🎬 Welcome to Episode 1 of The Haunted Couch! In our debut episode, Michael and Isa discuss Backrooms: Everything Must Go (2026) after experiencing it in theaters. We begin with spoiler-free impressions before moving into a full spoiler discussion, where we explore the story, ask questions about the characters, and share our own interpretations of the film’s mysteries. Rather than claiming to have all the answers, we discuss the clues the film gives us, what we think they mean, and the questions that stayed with us long after the credits rolled. These are simply our personal interpretations of the film, not statements about the filmmaker’s intended meaning. Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just discovering the genre, grab a seat on The Haunted Couch as we talk horror, one movie at a time. The movie ends. The conversation continues. ⚠️ Spoiler Warning This episode begins spoiler-free before transitioning into a full spoiler discussion. We’ll let you know before entering spoiler territory so you can stop listening if you haven’t seen the film. 🛋️ Chapters 00:00 Intro00:07 Introductions00:25 Spoiler-Free Review05:23 Spoiler Warning05:56 Full Discussion1:09:45 Final Thoughts1:13:10 Thanks & Goodbye 🎧 Follow The Haunted Couch 🔗 All our links:https://linktr.ee/thehauntedcouchshow 📺 YouTube@TheHauntedCouch 🎧 SpotifyThe Haunted Couch 📸 Instagram@thehauntedcouchshow 🎵 TikTok@thehauntedcouchshow 📧 Emailthehauntedcouchshow@gmail.com 🛋️ The Haunted Couch We watch • We react • We survive.
