Thank you.

We have so much to talk about.
6
Yeah.
7
I want to talk about Stranger Things.
8
I want to get into all the theories and everything like that.
9
There will be spoilers.
10
Get ready.
11
But I want to talk to you.
12
Big, big news.
13
You're going to London.
14
You're going to make your debut in the West End.
15
Yeah.
16
Doing Romeo and Juliet.
17
Yes.
18
Come on.
19
Thank you.
20
This summer?
21
Yes.
22
Oh, my God.
23
Through the spring.
24
This spring, yeah.
25
Spring through the summer.
26
And the last time you were here,
27
we were talking about your play John Proctor as the villain.
28
You got nominated for a Tony for that.
29
Congratulations, girl.
30
Oh, thank you.
31
I am so crazy.
32
Was that wild?
33
Yeah, I mean, I grew up doing theater,
34
so it was just such a surreal moment.
35
I was watching you when I watched the Tony Awards.
36
I was like, dude, were you in just like,
37
this is like your dream.
38
This is crazy.
39
Oh, my God, yeah.
40
That's like...
41
And Cynthia Erivo hosting.
42
Yes.
43
She was amazing.
44
Everything was great, but I was just rooting for you.
45
I was like, oh, my God, you're the best.
46
At the end of the show,
47
you have a very famous dance scene of the play where you danced to Greenlight by Lorde.
48
Right, yes.
49
Yeah, and then just recently,
50
Lorde invited you to a concert and brought you up on stage to dance with her.
51
What did that feel like to get a call from Lorde?
52
Oh, I mean, I feel like confusing to the people who didn't know the connection between us with the show.
53
That's true, yeah.
54
Like, you're at the concert,
55
and it's like, why did Lorde just bring out the chick from Stranger Things?
56
Like, if you know, you know.
57
If you know the play, yeah.
58
If you know, you know.
59
Oh, yeah, it's so fun.
60
Like, I don't know.
61
That's pretty legendary.
62
Thank you.
63
I know that you can't really...
64
Well, now you can talk about Stranger Things.
65
It probably feels good.
66
But you have kept it secret for so long.
67
But now you're filming Spider-Man, Brand New Day.
68
Yeah.
69
Yeah.
70
And that, not only can you not say anything about it,
71
you can't even say who you're playing.
72
It's torture.
73
And there's so much speculation, too.
74
I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A NEW CHARACTER EVERY WEEK.
75
DO YOU TELL ANYONE?
76
NO, YEAH, I TELL PEOPLE.
77
I MEAN, LIKE, THE PEOPLE I KNOW.
78
YOUR FAMILY KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
79
YEAH.
80
YEAH, OF COURSE.
81
BECAUSE I WOULD BE LIKE, SOMEONE IS SECURING.
82
BUT I FOUND OUT through online theories.
83
Like before I got cast in Spider-Man,
84
like there was speculation online that said,
85
Sadie Sink's going to be in the new Spider-Man.
86
I was like, I am?
87
And then sure enough, yeah,
88
like two days later, they were like,
89
they asked me to do it.
90
Weird. So yeah.
91
Those theories are sometimes, there's sometimes some truth to it.
92
Yeah.
93
Do you feel a little freeing that Stranger Things is out?
94
People, by the way, it crushed in movie theaters.
95
Everyone saw this.
96
I know, I wanted to see it.
97
Did you see the finale?
98
Did you watch?
99
I did.
100
We all did a screening of it.
101
So we got to see it on the big screen.
102
But I really wanted to go to a fan screening.
103
Yeah.
104
People were going nuts.
105
There's something online where they're showing people yelling run at the last... To me? To you.
106
They do that a lot this year.
107
You were talking to Holly and everyone's like,
108
run, you're going to miss your thing.
109
We want you to survive.
110
Run!
111
Did you feel that way when you were shooting it?
112
No, when I was shooting it, I don't know.
113
When I was shooting it,
114
I don't know if the sense of urgency crossed my mind.
115
But then, like, watching it,
116
I'm like, yeah, clearly, I'm,
117
like, taking my sweet time with it.
118
You were great in the scene.
119
Oh, thank you.
120
I was like, why are we doing a podcast episode right now?
121
Whoa.
122
Yeah.
123
But it was great.
124
And everyone was so fantastic.
125
And the Duffer brothers are brilliant.
126
They just tied all these.
127
I don't know how they put it all together.
128
You know, 10 years.
129
It's crazy.
130
It's insane.
131
And the big theory is,
132
and plug your ears if you don't want to hear this.
133
But the big question is,
134
at the end, is Eleven still alive?
135
What do I think?
136
Yes.
137
Oh.
138
I think she's dead.
139
I don't know.
140
Really?
141
Yeah.
142
Yeah.
143
Is that like a hot take or something?
144
Yeah.
145
I think she is, too.
146
I think, like, Mike's story is,
147
like, just one last story.
148
And that's, like, then they say goodbye to childhood.
149
BUT THAT'S JUST ONE FINAL TALE.
150
AND THAT'S IT.
151
I LIKE THIS TAKE.
152
I THINK IT'S JUST LIKE A COPING THING.
153
I LIKE THIS TAKE.
154
I THINK IT'S STRONGER.
155
RIGHT?
156
YEAH.
157
I FEEL LIKE IT PUT AN END TO IT.
158
BUT ANYWAY, SOME PEOPLE, I DON'T KNOW,
159
I GUESS IT'S UP TO YOUR INTERPRETATION.
160
THAT'S MY interpretation.
161
Yeah, okay, good.
162
That's what I want.
163
That's what I want.
164
Thank you for doing that.
165
What is this photo from now?
166
Medieval Times.
167
When did you go to Medieval Times?
168
It was actually the day of the final table read.
169
And Gaten's birthday was that day,
170
and his birthday wish was to go to Medieval Times.
171
So we all went, and I didn't really know what it was.
172
And then I got crowned the queen of love and beauty.
173
Oh, my gosh.
174
That was the moment I got crowned.
175
Oh, what a beautiful moment.
176
Just humbled and shocked.
177
Yeah.
178
I love medieval times.
179
I had my bachelor party there.
180
I had a great time. Did you?
181
Yeah.
182
Did your night win?
183
Yes.
184
My night won.
185
We were rooting for it.
186
It was the best night ever.
187
It was so fun.
188
It's really entertaining.
189
It's the greatest.
190
It was awesome.
191
I went back with, who did we go with?
192
Post Malone?
193
You went to medieval times with Post Malone?
194
Yeah.
195
And I think at one point,
196
He got on a horse.
197
He wasn't supposed to.
198
They allowed that?
199
No. We got in trouble.
200
But, yeah, yeah.
201
We just did it.
202
Yeah, yeah.
203
Amazing.
204
When you hang with Post Malone, anything's game.
205
But did he get crowned the queen of love and beauty?
206
No, of course not.
207
Only you can be the queen of love and beauty.
208
Come on, please.
209
I thought it would be fun if I could show you photos of Max's,
210
like, pinnacle scenes throughout the season and get your reaction.
211
See if you remember first day.
212
First thing that comes to your mind when I show you this.
213
This is your first appearance as Max.
214
Oh, um, oh, first thing that comes to mind?
215
Yes.
216
Well, I remember, like, they accidentally put,
217
like, a lot of bronzer on my face in all of my first scenes,
218
so that's the first thing that comes to mind.
219
That's really funny.
220
I look really tan.
221
You felt very tan there.
222
Yes.
223
Oh, my God.
224
Because she's, like, California, sun-kissed,
225
but then I think they went a little too crazy.
226
Oh, I love this.
227
All right, how about this?
228
This is fighting the mind flayer at the Starcourt Mall.
229
Oh, um, beach ball on a stick,
230
because that was a beach ball on a stick.
231
There was nothing, nothing there.
232
Wow.
233
Yeah.
234
Wow.
235
This is fascinating.
236
I love that.
237
Mm-hmm.
238
All right.
239
This is hearing Max's favorite song, Running Up That Hill.
240
Oh, I mean, the cassette tapes didn't really work very well.
241
So I just remember, like,
242
it kind of being a muffled,
243
distorted version of Running Up That Hill in the years.
244
You made that song chart on the radio.
245
I mean, that's phenomenal.
246
I mean, it's a great song.
247
It's a great song, Kate Bush.
248
And it's perfect for that moment and his character.
249
Yes, and you were perfect with it.
250
Thank you.
251
Love Kate Bush.
252
I love that.
253
Oh, this was scary.
254
When you were lifted by Vecna.
255
Yeah. That was.
256
Crazy day.
257
How are they doing that? Are you really floating?
258
Yeah, that's me.
259
That's me.
260
But they had a harness and a whole thing,
261
and then they just floated me up.
262
Crazy day.
263
Okay.
264
And then how about this one?
265
You escaping Henry's mind and waking up.
266
Yeah.
267
That was the first time I got to act with everyone all year.
268
Because before I was just with Holly and everything, or I was asleep.
269
I was asleep for, like, three episodes.
270
Yeah.
271
Yeah.
272
You were really great at that.
273
Easiest gig ever.
274
Yeah.
275
I could...
276
You were phenomenal.
277
Thank you.
278
I want to show everyone a clip.
279
Here's Sadie Sink in Stranger Things 5.
280
Take a look at this.
281
I'll never forget the look on his face that day.
282
He was scared.
283
More than scared, he was terrified.
284
There's something about this cave, this memory.
285
He won't come in. And here, I'm safe.
286
Yeah, that's how you do it right there.
287
Sadie's safe!
288
The entire fifth and final season of Stranger Things is streaming now on Netflix.
289
We're doing something fun with Sandy after the break.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
