32. Backrooms and liminal spaces

'Backrooms' is 2026 film, currently in cinemas. It is a sci-fi / horror / psychological thriller that is gripping and deeply unsettling.

Don't worry - we let you know when to switch off to avoid spoilers.<a href="https://alexdefoe.com/">Dr Alexander De Foe</a> is a scholar and author based in Melbourne, Australia. Alex studies altered states of consciousness and how they can be understood within the context of cognitive psychology and philosophy of mind. He is also a university lecturer and counsellor, empowering clients during pivotal lifespan milestones, towards meaning-making and virtue-based living. Alex has over 10 years post-PhD experience in a range of research and educational roles, presently situated at <a href="https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/alex-de-foe/">Monash University</a> as a researcher and educator.Sensitive content warning This episode deep dives on the perceptual and mind state experience of liminal spaces and refers briefly to physical violence.
