We roll around in the mud with two questionable indie horror movies, “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and the recently released “Squealer”.
Hollywood has all but come to a complete halt in recent months. One thing that has not changed is the news of more installments of established franchises. We talk about the interesting history of Highlander, the odd decision to make another Hocus Pocus movie, and how we feel about each one.
Then, it’s on to our featured film reviews.
We all knew that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (streaming on Peacock) was not going to set a new standard. It was clear from the beginning that it would coast as far as it could with its beloved children’s story adapted into a horror movie concept. If done correctly, that would be more than enough to make for a fun little horror movie.
Instead, it did the bare minimum.
There is no story, characters, or even a proper ending. The filmmakers decided that the idea of a Winnie the Pooh horror movie would be enough to attract attention. Instead, they gave audiences a pointless slasher with some admittedly awesome kills. So, what can other horror movies learn from it?
Our second film, Squealer (available to rent on VOD), has a strong opening and an interesting premise. At worst, it seems like it will be an engaging story. A lack of strong characters, a story that is way more filler than killer, and a number of subplots that add nothing make it a chore to sit through, however.
Do a couple of gross moments save things. And what is Tyrese Gibson doing in it?

Episode 374: Special Edition ‘Evil Dead Burn’ (2026)
SPOILER ALERT!!! THE EPISODE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ‘EVIL DEAD BURN’
The ‘Evil Dead’ franchise means a lot to us. It has touched us on a personal level, it has earned its place in horror history, and it is one of the few franchises in Hollywood to never release a bad installment. We talk about whether ‘Evil Dead Burn’ continues the trend and why it will probably always be the most polarizing entry in the series.
A few weeks back we talked about how ‘Evil Dead Burn’ had to be trimmed in order to get an ‘R’ rating. We wondered how bad it could have been and even tried to figure out what extreme horror even means today. As it turns out, ‘Evil Dead Burn’ is incredibly graphic. Was it too much or perfect for an ‘Evil Dead’ movie?
There has been lots of talk about how ‘Evil Dead Burn’ does not fit into the franchise. (This seems to be a conversation whenever a new ‘Evil Dead film releases.) There is definitely nothing else like it in the series. We also compare it to another movie that was released this year and wonder which was the better ‘Evil Dead’ movie.
