Hello? Hello, Sydney. What is up, you spooky bitches? We are back with another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast here, podcast for horror lovers, where we discuss any and all things horror, and's me your girl sydney happy may everybody happy

0:23.4

spring i am back from my adventures in the u k i have officially been killed on screen guys i have

0:31.3

been killed it was the most fun experience ever so if you're sitting there and you're listening

0:36.3

and you're like what the fuck are you talking about i I was killed in Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey 3. I was invited

0:42.3

to be in the movie, which is just such a wild thing for me to say. But I spent three days on

0:50.7

the set of the movie during this circus scene. And I'll just say, I've always been a fan of the Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey series. Like, I think it's so stupid and outrageous, but that's like right up my alley. Anybody who goes into those movies thinking it's going to be a masterpiece or anything really good, you're just, you're dumb, to be honest. You're fucking dumb. It's a movie about a Farrow

1:11.7

Winnie the Poo and Friends. Like, what the fuck do you expect? You know, you don't go into it for the plot and you don't go into it for like the production value. You go into it because you know it's going to be fun and have these outrageous crazy kills. That's exactly what it's about. So I have always loved those movies.

1:27.6

I think they're so much fun.

1:29.2

And I will say, like, even though I said you don't go in for the production value, the production value is very much going up. You can see that increasing in every Pooniverse movie that they do. So they've done the two Winnie the Poo's Neverland Nightmare. They've done Bambi the Reckoning. They have Pinocchio Unstrung, which I think is supposed to be coming out at some point this year, which that one, they got Robert England and Richard Brake to be in. So obviously they're doing something right because they're obviously increasing, like the talent in their actors and the names that they're able to get in their movies. In Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey 3, Roger Jackson is actually doing the voice of the rabbit. And if you're like, who the fuck is Robert Jackson? I guarantee you've all heard him because he's the voice of ghostface. The iconic voice. They got him. So honestly, these movies just keep getting better and better. And I will say the third one, the fucking creature design and the third one, like, I just went back and watched the first one and I'm like, wow, this obviously looks cheap. Like, you can tell it's just a mask, like they didn't really have a lot to work with. And I think it's still super fun. The third one, they're straight up fucking scary. Rabbit, especially when that man looked me in the face, I like almost had a fucking panic attack. He's fucking terrifying. And

2:34.8

Poo and Tigger also look incredible. But honestly, my whole experience of being on set just made me

2:40.0

love this universe even more because everybody was just so kind and welcoming. And Winnie the Poo

2:47.1

in this movie, he's played by this guy, George. And even though he brutally murdered me, George is my bestie. George is my bestie. He's such a sweet angel. I had to do a stunt during my scene. I don't want to say how I died because I want that to be a surprise. But I had to do a stunt. And literally every time we did every take, he came to me and like gave me his hand to get me up and was like, you are right. Is that, is that okay? Was that too fast? Like, he was just so caring, so kind.

3:12.5

Everybody made me feel so comfortable. And it was, it was wonderful. It was an overall,

3:17.7

incredible experience. I will absolutely go back and do it again. And I think I will.

3:23.1

They made a comment about coming back for

3:24.8

Pooniverse. And I'm like, if you'll have me, I will keep coming back and being killed in this

3:28.7

universe over and over and over again because it was just such a wonderful experience. So I can't

3:34.6

wait to see the third movie. I can't wait for you guys to all see it because you will see me. But it was

3:40.2

just so much fun. It was so cool and just like being on a

3:42.6

set and seeing everything that goes on behind the scenes really just makes you have so much more of an

3:47.9

appreciation for all movies, even the bad ones, honestly, because it's like there is so much

3:52.9

that goes on and like so much attention to detail. And it's just crazy to see. So it was an amazing experience.
