| 0:00.0 | 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, it's me your girl sydney happy wednesday happy |
| 0:23.0 | april when you guys are hearing this i am going to be on my way to new orleans which i am so excited |
| 0:28.9 | about hopefully i get to see some good movies but i don't even fucking care about the movies to be |
| 0:33.4 | honest because i just love new orleans i just can't wait to be in that city. I love the energy. Best food I've ever had in my life. I am super excited. For that reason, because I've been preparing in advance and making episodes and stuff, I haven't really watched anything new, I don't think. What if I watched that was new? Nothing. Yeah, I have nothing to report on because I've just been like preparing, making videos and making sure |
| 0:54.2 | my pod episodes are in order for me to be going. And again, I'm just going to be watching movies there. So I haven't really been watching any lately except just like rewatches and stuff for the pod. So yeah, I'm kind of boring today. I don't really have anything exciting to tell you guys. I do plan to tell you all about the good things that I see it overlook when I get back. |
| 1:13.1 | So that'll be probably in next week's. exciting to tell you guys. I do plan to tell you all about the good things that I see it |
| 1:11.7 | overlook when I get back. So that'll be probably in next week's episode. But yeah, for today, |
| 1:16.7 | I don't really have anything. And I honestly feel like that's kind of fitting to today's theme, |
| 1:20.9 | because the movie that we're talking about today is honestly just so somber and dark and bleak that I feel like we just need to fucking jump right |
| 1:28.9 | into it. One of the reasons that I did a religious horror month, the first reason was I've been |
| 1:34.0 | wanting to talk about Heretic. The second reason is I've been wanting to talk about this movie, |
| 1:38.2 | but I honestly didn't want to watch this movie again, but I did it. And I'm just going to be |
| 1:42.9 | so honest with you guys. This is the only movie I've ever watched in my life where I feel like there's something evil with me when I watch it. And I'm like, I don't even like saying something like that because it freaks me out. But this movie truly makes me feel like I am in the presence of evil. I've never had that experience watching a movie in my life. |
| 2:01.4 | Even now, I'm kind of getting chills talking about it. Like, I don't answer DMs. I don't even look at DMs because most of my DMs are people being like, you're welcoming in the devil with these movies. Like, you're fucking corrupting the youth by talking about these movies. And I'm like, shut the fuck up. I never get what that meant until I watched the dark in the wicked. |
| 2:19.9 | And I'm like, shut the fuck up. I never get what that meant |
| 2:17.6 | until I watched The Dark and the Wicked. And I'm like, dude, when the crazy religious people are saying, like, you're inviting in the devil, I'm like, is this what they mean? Is this what they think every movie is like? Because this is the only one that I've ever felt like this at. But is this what they're talking about because this movie genuinely feels like I am surrounded by fucking evil. |
| 2:37.5 | And for that reason... that. But is this what they're talking about? Because this movie genuinely feels like I am surrounded |
| 2:35.8 | by fucking evil. And for that reason, I'll never watch it again. Now that I've covered it here, |
| 2:41.2 | I will probably never watch this movie again. I think it's a masterpiece. I think it is phenomenal. |
| 2:46.3 | I genuinely think it is the most unsettling movie I've ever watched in my life. |
| 2:51.0 | Like, again, it's not that it makes me scared necessarily. |
| 2:54.0 | Like, there's not jump scares. |
