Hello? Hello, Sydney. What is up, you spooky bitches? We are back with another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast here, a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's your girl sydney happy wednesday happy january happy new year happy first wednesday episode of the pod i hope

0:28.6

everybody has had a great start to the new year has anybody watched anything new yet i watch

0:34.0

stranger thanks obviously i'm sure a lot of you did too. I liked it. I'm satisfied

0:38.7

with it. I actually really enjoyed the ending. I know there's still a lot of like unanswered questions

0:43.8

and plot holes, but I'm honestly willing to fucking like suspend my fucking belief about all that

0:48.7

shit because I need, I love that show so much. I need to find the positive in it. And I think the way that it was done,

0:55.7

even though again, like there's a lot of questions that I still have and I can't really explain the plot to you, to be perfectly honest, I'm happy with how it ended for the group. Like, I'm happy about the ending that everybody got for the most part. Um, I cried like a fucking baby. I literally sobbed for hours. Like that last episode

1:12.3

nearly killed me. I sobbed for the whole two hours that the episode was. And then I sobbed for

1:17.4

1:27.1

And like I was thinking back about who I was in 2016 when this show came out and how different

1:31.9

1:45.0

and I would have loved it because, again, I just loved the show so much. And I'm happy how they wrapped it up. I personally am. I know a lot of people aren't. And that's fine. But I do have a feeling that we're going to get spinoffs and shit. So I don't necessarily feel like it is the last we are going to see of the Stranger Things universe,

2:01.2

but I think it'll definitely be the last that we see of all of those characters together.

2:06.1

Good news, guys, and possibly a good indicator for the rest of award season, horror swept at

2:12.1

the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday. Sinners swept, which obviously we knew was going to happen.

2:16.8

And I feel like sinners is also

2:17.8

going to sweep at the Oscars, honestly, even though it's a horror movie, like how could it
