For years, Hollywood has been trying to figure out how to get
young people into movie theaters. This spring, it has happened at
an unthinkable scale thanks to two low-budget horror films made
by 20-something directors.

Today my colleague Kyle Buchanan explains what younger audiences
see in these films and how they’ve energized an entire industry.

Guest: Kyle Buchanan, a pop culture reporter and
awards season columnist for The New York Times.

Background reading: The viral creator Kane Parsons, who directed
“Backrooms,” has gone from YouTube sensation to A24’s youngest
director.
