  • Dogma (25th Anniversary) Breakdown: Faith, Redemption & Comedy Chaos | Streamin' Demons
    Oct 31 2025

    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.

  • Strange Harvest Breakdown: Potato-Head Killer? Found Footage Horror | Streamin' Demons
    Oct 23 2025

    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
    👹 Jesse Clarkson’s Mr. Shiny = nightmare fuel
    🏆 Winner: Best Horror Feature, Atlantic Horror Film Festival 2024
    📺 Pro tip: Watch it on a TV, not a theater screen

    👉 Strange Harvest: Worth the freaky watch.

    Key Moments:

    • Opening chaos – Amelie’s in Prague, Jo’s alone and unfiltered
    • Main plot – Mr. Shiny is not Mr. Potato Head... but he’s close
    • Character study – Bad acting done well? It's a choice—and it works
    • Jo’s big take – The third act’s a little sus, but it doesn’t kill the thrill
    • WTF moment – A found footage horror flick that feels too real

  • Queens of the Dead Review: Zombies, Drag Queens & Mayhem | Streamin' Demons
    Oct 21 2025

    In this episode of Streamin’ Demons, Jo and Amelie sink their perfectly painted claws into Queens of the Dead, the buzzy new horror-comedy from Tina Romero — yes, that Romero family. Set in a Brooklyn nightclub during a zombie outbreak, this film brings together drag queens, club kids, influencers, and more to fight back against the undead… all while navigating real friendships, fierce costuming, and a whole lot of high heels.

    But don’t get it twisted — this isn’t your basic zombie flick. Jo draws the Romero lineage back to Night of the Living Dead, while Amelie hones in on the movie’s emotional core. Together, they rave about the color palette, makeup precision, queer representation, and yes — the power of found family. From disco-ball stilettos to heartfelt monologues, Queens of the Dead balances camp, satire, and sincerity with glitter-drenched flair.

    Plus: memories of gay club culture, commentary on influencer excess, and the wild world of soup at strip clubs. (You had to be there.)

    It’s horror, it’s heart, and it’s high camp — and Jo and Amelie are here for all of it. Check it out in theaters Oct 24.

    Key Moments:

    • Opening riff – Jo & Amelie kick off the show, fresh from watching the screener, talking lineage of zombie films and how this one ties in.
    • Guest’s big insight or quote – Amelie: “There is moment of tenderness… I have your back, you have my back… friendship is trust.”
    • Behind‑the‑scenes moment – Discussion about the poster and colour design: green zombies, purple partygirls, how the film uses colour so smartly.
    • Personal story – Jo’s nightclub doorman anecdote and how club safety culture links into the film’s found‑family vibe.
    • Why it matters – They emphasise how Queens of the Dead isn’t “just another zombie movie”: it reflects queer culture, friendship, identity, and the modern club scene with commentary on phones/influencers.

  • Strange Journey & Scurry Breakdown: Cult Classics, Bugs & Claustrophobia | Streamin' Demons
    Oct 10 2025

    Jo and Amélie go full cult-core in this episode of Streamin’ Demons, diving into Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror and the tunnel-crawling, bug-infested thriller Scurry. From Amélie’s late-in-life first watch to Jo’s full tattoo dedication, they unpack the generational, cultural, and queer legacy of Rocky Horror — and why the doc Strange Journey hits hard. Then they tackle Scurry, a single-shot survival flick where the real terror isn’t monsters — it’s trust, confinement, and sloppy writing. Plus: ghost hauntings, musicals in France, and Susan Sarandon’s underwear.
