In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure to speak with Mark Elliott Fults.

Mark is a Psychic medium, metaphysical physician, channeler, author, and artist with 45 years of experience.

We spoke about Mark’s two Out of body experiences, and how it changed his life into being a more skilled Psychic and Medium.

Mark told me about how he can perform his abilities, and how he is able to help others.

We spoke about a few of his books, including 'My Mean Ol' Grandma's Good Old Cookbook,'

Mark then told me about his up-and-coming TV show the ‘Fat Psychic Cooking Show,'

We finally spoke about his future projects, and his visit to the Knight House in Hopkinsville Kentucky in the New Year

Jo and Amelie rip into Influencers (2025) on Shudder, the razor-sharp sequel that makes you cheer for the villain. A lesbian couple’s romantic French getaway turns into a nightmare when an unhinged influencer won’t take 'leave us alone' for an answer. We lose our minds over the authentic French vibes (Amelie spotted her old castles!), the hateably perfect toxic characters, and how this movie makes you wanna yeet every ring-light warrior into the void. Zero forced representation, just real people being messy, murderous, and magnificent. Hour-and-fifty flies by like a scooter in Bali. Grab some wine, lock the door, and watch this NOW.

Jo goes FULL chaotic energy with Lee Hatfield (S.I.P.A. Paranormal Chronicles) as they unpack how Lee launched a paranormal podcast that exploded in 2025, booked guests until mid-January, and still finds time to get stroked by ghosts in creepy jails. From EVPs that make jaws drop to seeing a full apparition walk past his bed in New York, Lee spills the real tea on scientific investigating, time slips, and why patience + spreadsheets = paranormal gold. Jo admits he’s jealous Lee got ghost-touched and they both roast flashy ghost-hunting gadgets. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode will make you think and laugh.

The movie that broke Amelie's internet (not in the good way) Jo and Amelie dive into the fresh-out-the-mud 2025 horror Pig Hill starring Shane West—and as far as Jo & Amelie can tell, the movie is secretly about Big Dick Pigs terrorizing a town of exactly seven supermodels. From pitch-black scenes you can’t see, mystery margaritas, a population shortage that would make Stephen King jealous, and an ending so obvious we called it before the title card—this episode is pure chaotic evil. We clock-watched, we cackled, we begged for one background extra. Come suffer with us. We’re Amazon Affiliates—any links we drop and you click/buy help feed your demons!

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.

In this week’s episode, I had a blast talking to Ashley from the Ghost Gossip Podcast.

Ashley gave up her government job to become a full-time paranormal podcaster.

Her house is haunted, and she frequently experiences paranormal activity. She is also sensitive and Clairaudient and struggled to embrace her abilities.

She heard a dog barking, that had passed 6 months previous and experienced the presence of her grandfather who had also passed.

We talked about the use of Ouija boards in Victorian times, and being caressed by a handsy ghost

“It was a bug Ashley”

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
 * The £20k bombshell – we find out the budget and lose our minds
 * 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
 * WTF moment – the serial killer is somehow hilarious AND terrifying
