While there are many positives to The Hello, Sidney Podcast, one minor drawback is the occasional lack of depth in certain episodes. Although most episodes are incredibly thorough and insightful, there have been a few instances where it feels like some films could have been discussed in more detail or with a more critical eye. However, this is only a minor criticism considering the vast amount of content Sidney consistently delivers.
In conclusion, The Hello, Sidney Podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone who appreciates quality horror content.
