Jo almost rage-quit while Amelie stayed thirsty for Andy in Manor of Darkness — a brutal British indie time-loop slasher that takes FOREVER to get good. Once the manor locks its doors and the blood starts repeating? Absolute chaos. Strong acting, gorgeous shots, genius concept… buried under 50 minutes of dying-mom exposition. We argue: theater-worthy or fast-forward-to-40-mins crime? You decide.

KEY MOMENTS

• Opening chaos – Screener mindfuck: “Is this the trailer or the whole movie?!”
• Exposition Hell – 50 minutes of dying moms, custody drama, lawyer scenes (I'm guessin') while we both took bathroom breaks
• Andy arrives – Amelie loses her mind: “Instant charisma, I follow him anywhere”
• The Loop drops – Amelie: “Original, brutal, I was glued.” Jo: “Thank fuck the real movie finally started”
• Amelie’s big take – “I’d pay theater money for this — just cut the first hour!”

• Final scene – Cold, mean, sticks the landing hard

Jo (in actual agony) & Amelie tear into The RIP Man — a £20k indie slasher that punches WAY above its weight. Killer acting, smart writing, gorgeous blue-tinted kills, and one wobbly act three can’t ruin this gem. Way better than most $30M studio sequels! (Looking at you, Black Phone!)

KEY MOMENTS

• Opening chaos – Jo watches flat on his back, still yelling about pain and glory
• “At least my dick doesn’t hurt” – the Jim Breuer dad-ism that broke Amelie

• Blue-light murder aesthetic – that one kill scene had us both going “that’s BEAUTIFUL”
• Jo’s big take – “Pound-for-pound this smokes Black Phone 2” hot take
• Amelie’s reflection – low-budget doesn’t mean low-quality, France TV cult classics prove it

Ritual House 2025 gets the Streamin’ Demons treatment as Jo and Amelie unleash a wild rant! As our hero Jo battles a Tony Horton diet—Golden Child style--Amelie chows a 32-centimeter pizza, gyros, and Coke right in front!

The movie follows two friends turning a debt-ridden inherited house into a haunted bed-and-breakfast. The premise? Solid—40-something women tackling loss and finance. The acting? A disaster! Jo dubs it “third-grade play” territory, while Amelie finds it hilariously offbeat. Crystal’s stalker subplot with Bob confuses—creepy or comic? Jo sees an incel vibe, Amelie a quirky twist.

The chaos peaks with a plushie “dead cat” sporting a price tag, fake eyelashes in the shower, and death scenes sounding like diarrhea—pure unintentional laughs! Jo’s hunger fueled rants on pacing and repeated flashbacks, while Amelie dreams of her own B&B, mirroring the plot. They clash: Jo rejects it, slamming IMDb’s typos and “award of recognition” hype, while Amelie values the story’s heart. This episode’s a shoutfest of diet drama, horror flops, and personal takes—Jo teases Amelie’s feast, both mock tropes like a Ring-style TV creature. Check it out at https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell!

From childhood arcade dreams and 3D IMAX flashbacks to Jared Leto’s controversial casting, they dissect the sequel’s glowing grid of tech nostalgia, coding culture, and emotional AI twists.

In this episode of Streamin’ Demons, Jo and Amelie go full-on divine as they resurrect Dogma for its 25th anniversary. They deep-dive into the Kevin Smith classic’s brand-new 4K remaster—marveling at the fresh visuals, crisp sound, and how shockingly well it holds up in 2025. But this episode isn’t just about pretty pixels.

They get personal, reflecting on what it meant to first see Dogma—whether in a theater seat in 1999 or on a scratched DVD in Australia. There’s a whole lotta love (and a little rage) for the lost era of physical media, with Jo and Amelie going head-to-head on whether streaming can ever compare to the raw ownership of a shelf full of discs.

From Alan Rickman’s divine delivery to Bethany’s gut-punch story of faith, loss, and reproductive rights, this one’s packed with sharp takes, laugh-out-loud moments, and plenty of righteous indignation. They talk cancel culture, translation woes, and why Dogma still hits hard—especially when religion, politics, and comedy are constantly under fire.

💿 Whether you're Team DVD or Team Stream, this one’s for the cult movie lovers, the spiritual skeptics, and anyone who’s ever thought, “Wait… didn't Snape have a penis?”

🎟️ Dogma is back in theaters (UK & Ireland) on November 7th—and this episode is your front-row warm-up.

Jo’s flying solo (Amelie’s off on a secret Tron mission in Prague!), but the demons don’t rest. In this episode of Streamin’ Demons, we dig deep into Strange Harvest—the freaky, found-footage folk horror that delivers a terrifying Mr. Potato Head–esque killer, cosmic dread, and some weirdly convincing documentary vibes. Jo unpacks how the film’s fake docu-style nails the true crime aesthetic, what works, what stumbles (that sus third act!), and why it shouldn’t be seen on the big screen. There’s lore, gore, and a possible sequel tease—all wrapped up in an hour and 34 minutes of haunting horror from director Stuart Ortiz.

🕵️‍♂️ Det. Joe Kirby, Alexis Taylor, and the cast crush the "bad acting on purpose" vibe
