Some nut with a weird imagination gets all excited when the Winnie the Pooh classic hits the public domain and decides he needs to make a scary "what if" out of it. Being abandoned by Christopher Robin drives Pooh and Piglet to uncontrollable violent rage. Young women have a girls' getaway in the woods. Paths cross. You can probably guess the rest. Not a bad idea, but the execution misses. Poor writing and acting don't make you care about the characters. Repetitive, formulaic violence gets boring after a while. To be fair, an honest attempt on the budget available. It just doesn't do any one thing well. It was better than expected, based on the reviews, though. Maybe check it out if you're intrigued, but you probably won't watch it twice. Winnie the Pooh Blood & Honey Final Grades Steve: A good idea that missed the mark. Maybe after learning something here and getting a bigger budget for a planned sequel, they can put out a better product next time. 1.78/5 Brandon Couldn't hear things. Couldn't see things. Why don't British people speak English? This movie is like Pooh in your pool or Pooh in your treehouse or finding Pooh in your living room. Pooh. 1.59/5 Cocktail of the Week: The Bees Knees, two ways Steve gets gin, Brandon gets tequila 2 oz Gin or Tequila 1 oz Honey Syrup (50/50 Honey:Water) 3/4 oz Fresh-squeezed Lemon Juice A couple dashes Angostura Bitters for the Tequila version Shake the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon peel. Cocktail Grade: Two very good cocktails. The tequila version with the bitters has a little better flavor profile than the gin version that is a little sweeter. Both of them are great if you've got a scratchy throat. It's just delicious cough syrup, really. Highly recommended for any sick days. ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: [email protected] X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/support
