Yes, Sadie Sink is aware that Max took her "sweet time" getting back to her body in Stranger Things season 5 – and she thinks she should have hurried up, too.

"When I was shooting it, I don't know if the sense of urgency crossed my mind," Sink told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. In episode 6 of the final season, Max and Holly Wheeler are trying to escape from Camazotz, AKA Henry Creel's mindscape.

Although Max finds a portal to escape, Holly needs to find an emotional connection of her own to get out. Holly is understandably quite reluctant to be left there alone, so Max gives her a pep talk – which went on for… a little longer than viewers anticipated.

"Watching it, clearly I'm taking my sweet time with it… Like, 'why are we doing a podcast episode right now? Run!'" Sink added, referring to memes where people have edited microphones and headphones onto stills of her and Holly actor Nell Fisher during their, ahem, extended chat.
