| 0:00.0 | What is up, you spooky bitches? We are back with another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast, |
| 0:05.1 | here, a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror, and it's me, |
| 0:09.0 | your girl, Sydney. Happy Friday, happy May, happy first episode of Heartbreak Horror Season, |
| 0:17.9 | and be prepared to be devastated. Be prepared to have your heart ripped out of your chest |
| 0:23.6 | and stomped on. That is the point of this month. We're all in this together. Guys, honestly, |
| 0:31.3 | I, so we're talking about Eden Lake today to jump ahead, but I had only ever seen Eden one, even like one time in my life. And it was |
| 0:39.7 | probably around like 2012, 2013. It was back in my horror movie Tumblr days when I had |
| 0:45.4 | learned about it. And I watched it. And I was like, damn, that's fucking bleak. That is fucking |
| 0:50.4 | devastating. Haven't watched it since. Went back to watch it for the second time in my life |
| 0:55.7 | for this episode. And my God, what a wonderful movie. I'll never watch it again. I, it hurts too much. |
| 1:04.2 | And I, like, even when I watched this when I was younger, 16, 17, I was able to watch things a lot |
| 1:09.5 | easier back then. Because as a teenager, you're fucking |
| 1:12.4 | stupid. You think you're invincible and like this shit can never happen to me. Watching it as an |
| 1:16.9 | adult is so much harder. So watching it the second time, I literally was like, I feel nothing. |
| 1:23.2 | I feel numb. I want my mom. I'm scared. It's a fucking doozy. Um, yeah, I purposely started off the month |
| 1:31.4 | with this, one just to get it over with, because it is a movie that I have been wanting to talk |
| 1:35.8 | about for a while and I have been wanting to revisit. So I'm starting off the month, I guess, |
| 1:41.1 | to set the tone and to get it over with because, wow, this is one of the bleakest |
| 1:46.8 | and most upsetting movies I've ever seen. And just a warning, if you are going in blind, |
| 1:51.5 | you know nothing about it. It is intense. It is devastating. And the ending is not happy. |
| 1:57.4 | Like to spoil it ahead of time, like if you think you're going to get a happy ending |
| 2:01.0 | after you have to watch all this devastation, it's not going to happen. And that's the worst part of it. |
