What is up, you spooky bitches? We are back with another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast here,

0:05.2

a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's me, your girl,

0:09.8

Sydney. Happy Friday. I'm getting confused because I'm actually filming this like super far in

0:16.4

advance. This is actually the first episode that I'm filming of this month, like before Hereditary,

0:21.1

before everything, because I go to London from the third to the ninth. So I have to make,

0:26.8

or the 10th, whenever. So I have to make sure that I have everything in order. So I'm filming

0:31.1

this super in advance. So excuse me if I'm confused on timeline because time doesn't exist. And

0:37.1

it's just a fucking concept and I don't

0:38.7

understand it. But it's February at this point for those of you listening. It's still January for me,

0:45.6

but that's okay. But we are, this is the first episode I'm doing, even though Hereditary will be

0:51.8

first. But this month is an anti-valentine's day,

0:56.5

which I think is a great idea. I'm happy that I'm doing it, but my God, you know what's

1:04.1

weird, though? Last night, I watched this movie in preparation, and I watched midsummer

1:09.8

in preparation, back to back, which I thought would

1:12.2

kill me. And then I was like, oh, these aren't as bad as I remember. I still don't love them.

1:19.8

I still don't love them. But I'm like, okay, like I think on a rewatch, they're better for me.

1:25.7

I remember them being a lot worse. This, the witch, which we're talking about today, this was the third time I had seen the witch. And the second time, the first time I hated it, the second time I was like, okay, like I get the appeal of it. And the third time I feel the same way. I'm like, okay, like I still get the appeal of it. I just, it's not my cup of tea. Like, it's not really my jam. It's too slow. But there are a lot of things that I can't appreciate it. So I would never say I hate a movie now that I'm like, you know, grown. And I watch this probably back in like 2015, 2016 when it came out. Now that I'm like more of a like

2:01.7

seasoned movie watcher, movie critic, I guess you could call it, I would never hate a movie that I

2:09.0

can appreciate things in, you know? So like there are elements of this movie that I think are really

2:13.9

well done, really great. So I can't say I hate this movie. I probably can't say

2:19.0

I hate any of, I might hate Rosemary's baby. I don't know. We'll get there. That might,

2:25.7

on the rewatch, that might change too. I have seen that one a couple times, but we'll see.
