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. And it's me, your girl, Sydney. Happy Wednesday. Has anybody been watching anything lately? I feel like May is a huge month for horror. We got Hocum and then we got obsession and then we got Passenger, which Passenger is getting a lot of hate, but I watched it on Friday last week. And I actually had fun with it. I enjoyed it. I'm not going to sit here

0:37.6

and say it was great, but I think it was different. I think it was fresh. I think it's kind of a new

0:42.9

story that we hadn't really heard before. I like the idea of it and of being on a road trip and

0:48.7

like this evil entity following you. I had a fun time with passenger. And, and I honestly, personally, feel like a lot of

0:56.3

the dislike for it is that it's placed very badly, very poorly in the lineup. Like, that is the first

1:02.3

major horror movie to come out after Hocom and then Obsession, which obsession is the movie of

1:07.0

the year, which I've been saying since I saw it last September, I knew it would be the movie of

1:10.6

1:15.3

because I was nervous that people wouldn't see its greatness. But everybody's obsessed with

1:19.5

obsession, literally. So I feel like passenger coming out after that. I honestly feel like

1:25.4

that's a huge part of this because people are just on this high,

1:29.1

like riding this high from obsession, which I totally get because it absolutely is a high.

1:34.3

But let's not lose sight of the fact that not everything is going to be obsession.

1:37.7

Pretty much nothing is going to be obsession. To be honest, I don't foresee anything being obsession

1:42.3

in the near future unless it's something that Curry Barker

1:44.7

makes again. But maybe I'm way off base with that, but I do feel like that might be part of why

1:49.6

people aren't liking that movie because it is by no means a masterpiece. Like obsession is a

1:54.8

masterpiece. Passenger is by no means a masterpiece. But it's not the worst movie to come out.

1:59.7

Definitely not this year. And definitely not within the last like decade. So I had a good, but it's not the worst movie to come out. Definitely not this year and definitely

2:01.3

not within the last like decade. So I had a good time with it personally, all that ranting to say

2:06.6

I enjoyed it. And I'm really excited that the backrooms is coming out this week because that's

2:11.8
