| 0:00.0 | What is up, you spooky bitches? We are back with another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast here, |
| 0:05.4 | a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's me, |
| 0:09.3 | your girl, Sydney. Happy Friday. Happy mid-February-ish. Yeah, it's a short month. Happy mid-February. |
| 0:18.5 | Happy coldness. It's still fucking freezing here. I was just in London, |
| 0:23.7 | which was a wonderful, beautiful, incredible, amazing trip. Love the UK. So much fun. |
| 0:30.2 | Such a blast. It was 50 degrees there. And every time, like, a bunch of, like, people there were |
| 0:36.0 | asking me, like, oh, aren't you guys cold here? |
| 0:37.8 | And I'm like, well, I'm a dumb American. So I'm going to say this in Fahrenheit because we're the only place on earth that uses Fahrenheit. But it's like it was negative seven Fahrenheit when I left home. 50 degrees. I'm in a t-shirt. I'm sweating. I'm like running around in a bathing suit. I'm like, this is beautiful weather. I've never been happier. So, |
| 0:55.2 | yeah, it was beautiful. Drizzly, rainy, which I love. Like, that's moody. That's exactly what I |
| 1:00.5 | expect London to be like. Oh, crazy thing. If this is at a town near you, I promise you, |
| 1:07.6 | go see the live paranormal activity show because what the fuck. |
| 1:12.6 | So it's playing in London. |
| 1:14.1 | I think it's playing in L.A. and Chicago, or it was at least for like a limited time. |
| 1:18.5 | I honestly don't know if it's still playing. |
| 1:20.4 | But we happened to find out that they were playing this paranormal activity live show in London. |
| 1:25.4 | So we went to go see it when I tell you, I damn near shit my |
| 1:28.6 | pants. We did this thing where we all had our Apple watches on and we were like monitoring our |
| 1:33.0 | heart beats, our heart rate. My heart rate in the second act of that show went up to 155. |
| 1:39.7 | That to me sounds like I should have been having a heart attack because I felt like I might have for a moment. It was, I don't know how they did it. I'm still watching it and like I want to go watch it again because I want to watch it knowing what I know to see if I could find how they fucking did it. Like they were, it was pure fucking sorcery at some points. Like they were literally doing magic on the fucking stage. It was incredible. It was so |
| 2:02.0 | freaky. It was so good. The acting, fucking amazing. Get these people on the big screen. Incredible. |
| 2:08.5 | 10 out of 10. Highly recommend. One of my favorite things that we did while in London. It was so |
| 2:12.8 | fucking good. Now, we're talking about a movie today. And I think this is the first movie that I've watched so far this month where I rewatched it. And I'm like, oh, no, I still fucking really dislike this movie. So the pattern that we've had, at least for hereditary in midsummer, and even the witch, I appreciate the witch every time I rewatch it. But this is the first one that I'm like, oh, I don't honestly appreciate this movie |
