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

0:04.7

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

0:08.7

your girl, Sydney. Happy end of March. Happy spring officially. Happy last day of 2000s month.

0:16.9

Sad. Sadness. It's okay. We're going to do more more eventually i'll never stop talking about 2000s movies

0:21.9

but we're ending the month with what i think is a very underrated movie but a very well-loved

0:27.9

movie in the horror community because when you bring it up i feel like everybody loves this movie

0:32.0

and obviously we're talking about the skeleton key today and i i fucking loved this movie. I had not watched it.

0:40.3

I had watched it once, literally around the time it first came out. It came out in 2005.

0:44.4

I watched it probably in like 2006 or seven. And then I did not watch it again until last year.

0:50.6

Actually, I rewatched it last year and I had like totally forgotten everything about it. I forgot the

I love the plot twist. I love the buildup. I love that you literally have no fucking idea what's going on until the very end and then it makes so much sense. I love everything about this movie.

1:28.4

And I know you guys aren't going to be shocked because it's a 2000s movie. But the critics are

1:33.4

fucking haters as usual because this movie has a 6.5 on IMDB, which is not terrible. And a 38% on

1:40.6

Rotten Tomatoes, which is considered rotten. So like, to those people, tomato, tomato, tomato,

1:46.5

at you, bitch, just tell me you don't fucking enjoy fun. Like, what do you mean? 38%. Come on. This is one,

1:53.2

like a lot of other 2000s movies, I can be like, okay, I get why these have bad ratings. This is

1:58.1

one I genuinely think is a good movie. Like outside of it being a 2000s movie,

2:01.7

I genuinely see it as being a good movie. Like there's no like corny effects in this one. You know,

2:07.5

like there are in a lot of these movies. I just don't understand the hate, I guess. And I take it
