The Arkham Sessions, hosted by Dr. Andrea Letamendi and Brian Ward, is a weekly podcast dedicated to the psychological analysis of pop culture, including Batman: The Animated Series, Steven Universe, the MCU, Star Wars, and Doom Patrol. Nostalgic, humorous, and even a little educational, each episode promises to lend some insight into the heroes, villains, and classic stories of the Dark Knight and more!
The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 272 – Backrooms
Backrooms (2026) is inspired by a concept from a viral internet “creepypasta” story featuring various capacious rooms with no obvious purpose. In the movie adaptation, a failed architect (Clark) sees a therapist (Mary) due to his struggling marriage and alcoholism. During the course of his treatment, Clark discovers a series of nonsensical, eerie, windowless rooms in the basement of the furniture store he manages. There is something supernatural lurking in these spaces which sparks his curiosity.
