Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 Reveals First-Look Images of Pooh and Tigger
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey got us excited with its horror spin on a childhood classic. Although the movie itself may not have necessarily wow-ed us, the visuals were good. Now, we have our first look at the sequel movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2. Blood-soaked Pooh has returned to our screens, and we also get to see a horrific version of Tigger for the first time courtesy of IGN.

Beyond Fest 2023 Line-Up Announced
It’s time again for Beyond Fest! The biggest genre film festival in the US is back for its 11th outing, and it has some excellent movies in store. We’re particularly excited about the new movie from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story‘s director Gareth Edwards, The Creator, and Legendary Pictures’ The Toxic Avenger remake. A24’s Nicolas Cage movie Dream Scenario and V/H/S/85 also have our attention.
The full line-up is available here.

Our Flag Means Death‘s Third Season Will Be Its Last if It’s Renewed
Our Flag Means Death season two will arrive this October, but fans are already considering if there will be more of the show. There’s no official renewal for Our Flag Means Death yet, but creator David Jenkins noted in an Instagram comment that he’s aiming for season three. However, should the show get a season three, it will be Our Flag Means Death‘s final season. Still, better a finished show than a canceled one.

Celebrity Auction Supports Production Crew Members Whose Healthcare Is at Risk
The studios’ refusal to compensate and support their creatives fairly has led to difficulties across entertainment-related occupations. In solidarity, many people have come together to help those whose livelihoods are at risk in creative ways. Per Variety, The latest effort is an auction by The Union Solidarity Coalition to “help production crew members whose healthcare benefits are at risk because of the work stoppage.” The auction includes all kinds of fun entertainment-related memorabilia as well as celebrity experiences. Among other items are “Natasha Lyonne Will Help You Solve the New York Times Sunday Crossword” and “The Bear Signed Apron Jeremy Allen White Ebon Moss-Bachrach Ayo Edebiri + More.” The auction runs until September 22.

Pokémon Teams Up with Van Gogh for Mystery Collaboration
Who doesn’t love it when Pokémon gets a little creative? The latest fascinating Pokémon project is some kind of collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Could Van Gogh-style Pokémon cards be heading our way soon? We’ll find out on September 28.
For now, we can appreciate Sunflora in full Van Gogh realness.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Will Likely Not See a Switch DLC
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was a highly anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And when it finally launched, it was incredibly well-received. But don’t hold your breath for the massive, open-world game to evolve any more than it already has. As Polygon shares, the Breath of the Wild development team is moving on to the next thing. While that next thing could be more The Legend of Zelda content, it likely won’t be a Tears of the Kingdom DLC.
