Hello? Hello, Sydney. What is up, you spooky bitches? We're back and we have another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast, a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's me, your girl, Sydney. Happy Wednesday,

0:22.1

happy midweek. How's everybody doing? What have you guys been watching? Who has seen

0:26.7

Final Destination Bloodlines? Because I have. I definitely fucking have. And what a beautiful

0:33.9

addition to the franchise, I think, honestly. We waited 14 years for a new installment

0:41.0

because Final Destination 5 came out in 2011, which yes, it's disgusting to say that that was 14 years

0:46.9

ago. It's fucking insane. So this has been long awaited and I, overall, I really enjoyed it.

0:53.0

I don't think it's the best one in the franchise.

0:54.9

I put it somewhere like right in the middle.

0:56.7

So my new ranking would be Final Destination 2, then 1, then 3, then this one, 6, then 5, then 4.

1:04.5

So it's kind of right in the middle for me.

1:06.0

However, the opening scene in this one is one of my favorite openings in the whole franchise behind the second

1:11.1

movie because that one with the log truck is just so fucking iconic. And Tony Todd's speech,

1:17.2

you guys, like I, as I was watching it, I'm like, I feel like this is just him ad libbing. And sure

1:22.4

enough, I found out that it was. So essentially when he signed on to this and the writer slash director found out that he was

1:29.7

sick, they kind of like scrapped the script as a whole, like his part of it at least and told him,

1:35.0

like, we want you to say whatever you want to say because like they knew and he knew that this was

1:39.6

going to likely be his last role. And his monologue is beautiful because it's really just him saying goodbye

1:46.7

not only to the franchise, but like to the fans and to cinema period. And I'm going to start

1:51.6

crying again. But I was in absolute fucking shambles. It was so beautiful. And it made the whole

1:55.5

movie worth it. If you ask me, that alone. So yeah, highly recommend, especially if you're a fan of

2:00.3

the Final Destination franchise,

2:01.9

there is some really silly CGI moments in there, which like I think were a little bit over the top.
