Dogma (25th Anniversary) Breakdown: Faith, Redemption & Comedy Chaos | Streamin' Demons
 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 [https://amzn.to/3LgbXlw]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. 📡 Listen now and join the conversation: https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell 🛒 We are Amazon Affiliates.

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

Queens of the Dead Review: Zombies, Drag Queens & Mayhem | Streamin' Demons
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. 🎧 Link up with us: https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell 🛒 We're Amazon Affiliates — if you click on an Amazon link, we may earn a commission.

Strange Journey & Scurry Breakdown: Cult Classics, Bugs & Claustrophobia | Streamin' Demons
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. 🔗 https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell 🚨 We're Amazon Affiliates — if we use Amazon links and you click them, we might make money.

It's claustrophobia with bugs and trust issues" * Amélie's reflection – Musicals in France? Meh. But the vibe shift in settler countries hits different * WTF moment – Jo gets stiffed for an interview with Richard O'Brien * Why it matters – Culture clash, fan legacy, and why small films sometimes hit harder on VR than big screens

Somnium & Weapons Breakdown | Streamin' Demons
On this episode of Streamin' Demons, Jo & Amelie tackle three films that all pretend to be horror... but only one hits the heart. Night of Violence opens strong with a killer fake commercial but fizzles into formula. Somnium, however, is a hauntingly personal thriller that hits Jo and Amelie right in their coming-of-age feels. And Weapons? It's a genre bait-and-switch: sold as horror, but really a quiet, layered drama. Jo says "don't waste your popcorn money on it"—but maybe catch it at home. This episode gets deep, personal, and a little fiery. Watch it, stream it, or skip it—we've got thoughts. 🎧 Listen now, and check out all our links: https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell [https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell?utm_source=chatgpt.com] 💸 We are Amazon Affiliates—if we drop an Amazon link and you click or use it, we do earn a little commission! * Opening chaos – Jo & Amelie define their "stream it or theater" friendship code. * Night of Violence roast – Jo loves the opening... and then hates the rest. * Amelie's Somnium story – A raw, emotional connection to Gemma's journey as a 23-year-old dreamer. * Sleep paralysis bonding – They both share terrifying IRL stories that mirror Somnium's themes. * Genre bait & Jo's fury – Weapons is no horror—it's "the best lasagna from McDonald's," and Jo has words.

DIE'CED: Reloaded Review + Gen Con Mayhem | Streamin' Demons
Jo and Amelie dig into DIE'CED: Reloaded, the blood-soaked, synth-drenched slasher from writer/director Jeremy Rudd. With 1987 Seattle vibes, practical gore effects, and a killer clown with a motive, the film channels the best of classic horror without falling into "just a list of kills" territory.

Then the duo swaps stories from Gen Con 2025 — from being mowed down in Tower of Gaxx to killing replicants in Blade Runner, decapitating snake priests in Mörk Borg, dodging slow-moving convention crowds, and hunting for the perfect hotel.

Jo recounts growing up with Ozzy's music as a Gen X metalhead, while Amelie reveals how she first knew him: not as a rock star, but as a lovable, swearing TV dad with 13 dogs and a messy mansion. They unpack everything from controversial lawsuits ("Suicide Solution") to deep-cut lyrics that hit harder with age. Amelie brings a global lens, explaining how Ozzy's reality TV image shaped a whole generation outside the U.S.—and why he felt more like a funny grandpa than the Prince of Darkness.

From "Goodbye to Romance" to "No More Tears," Jo reveals why Ozzy matters. * Amelie's reflection – Growing up in France, Ozzy was a TV dad, not a rock god. Her POV shows the global shift in how icons are understood. * WTF moment – A stripper, no hangovers, and Ozzy on loop?!

Barry S2E1 Breakdown: Clone Chaos, "Show Must Go On" Lies & NoHo Hank Grows Teeth
We're definitely not wearing the same clothes," and Jo & Amelie are back to dive headfirst into the madness that is Barry Season 2, Episode 1. It kicks off with a hotel hit gone completely sideways—wrong code, shotgun to the shin, and a guy jumping out the window. Fuchs is spinning, Barry's missing, and it's "a complete circus." Then it's curtain up on Barry trying to direct a play ("The show must go on… probably") while juggling grief, guilt, and a need to be anything other than a hitman. But when he delivers his big acting-class monologue about his first kill in Afghanistan? Sparks fly—Jo calls it a lie, Amelie says it's how Barry sees it. Cue one of our best disagreements yet. We also dig into the color language of the show (yes, that's a thing), Hank's shift from goofy sidekick to actual threat in a parking lot standoff, Barry's bad British accent at Lululemon, and Sally's classic flake-out. And just a heads-up: we're Amazon Associates, so if we ever drop a link to something, we might get a tiny cut—just keeping it transparent. 🎭 Full episodes, show notes & more: https://linktr.ee/Emptyhell KEY MOMENTS * Clone chaos: A Barry double botches everything—"a fucking dumpster fire" * Afghanistan confession: Did Barry lie? Amelie vs. Jo, and it gets real * Color contrasts: Barry in shadows, NoHo Hank in sitcom brights—until he's not * Parking lot Hank: Smiles drop, threats rise—"you don't ask, I demand" * Sally being... Sally: Available "after yoga," unless her agent calls first
