What is up, you spooky bitches? Welcome back to another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast, a podcast for

0:06.3

horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's me, your girl, Sydney. And today is a very

0:11.7

special episode because this is episode 100, which just sounds insane to me. Like, that's a lot of

0:18.3

episodes. How have we gotten here? How have we been doing this for this

0:21.6

long? But it is. And I'm so happy about it. And I had to pick a movie that is one of my favorite

0:27.9

movies today. And what better to pick for a hundredth episode movie than a movie that's going

0:33.6

to emotionally destroy you and sit there feeling numb and bleak as fuck and just

0:39.3

thinking about it all the time. And that's why I love this movie that we're talking about today.

0:43.7

I think it is highly, highly criminally underrated. And the movie we're talking about, of course,

0:49.6

is summer of 84. And this movie came out in 2018. And when it came out, it really flew under the

1:26.9

in the ending. And the thing that I love about

1:29.7

this movie is they have made it very clear that they are not making a sequel to it. Like it is a movie

1:34.9

that very much ends on a cliffhanger and ends leaving you wanting more because you need to know what

1:40.3

happened. And they're like, we're not making a sequel. Like fuck you guys. The whole point of it is for you

1:44.0

to feel gutted not knowing what happened which like i respect the hell out of that i have heard
