Devilman Crybaby: Anime Brutal Love
The Demon Toast Podcast goes back to the end of the world. King Loke, Jack, Adrian, Marissa, and Ericka Jordan take on Devilman Crybaby, Masaaki Yuasa's ten-episode Netflix descent into Go Nagai's Devilman, and return to the 1972 manga that started it all. Akira Fudo merges with the demon Amon and keeps his human heart; Ryo Asuka smiles like the end times are a dinner party; and fifty years on, that ending still lands like a hammer. Anime brutal love, indeed. Runtime: 1h 32m Spoilers: full, for Devilman Crybaby and the Devilman manga, including the ending. Content warning: the works discussed contain graphic violence and sexual content; the conversation follows them there.

The Crow - The Platonic Goth
It's Spooky Season, and we're celebrating the only way that makes sense: by revisiting The Crow. On this episode of The Demon Toast Podcast, King Loke, Adrian, and Ericka dig into the seminal 1994 film and the comic book. We talk about how a story born from grief became a cornerstone of goth culture, from the aesthetic and the soundtrack to the way it gave a generation of misfits a language for mourning and love that refuses to die. Whether you came for the face paint, the rain-soaked rooftops, or the heartbreak underneath it all, pull up a coffin and join us. Can't rain all the time.

I Saw The TV Glow - Pride Month Episode
"I Saw the TV Glow" was the perfect topic to close out Pride month. A film by a trans auteur, Jane Schoenbraun, a non-binary filmmaker that is uncompromising and relentless in its portrayal of the ambiguity and discomfort that comes from gender dysphoria. King Loke is joined by Luka and Ericka, as well as special guest, extreme-horror writer Cybil Rose, who brings their unique perspective as a trans person to the discussion. "I Saw the TV Glow" is a bizarre, haunting movie, and channels the oddness and excitement of old live-action Nickolodean shows along with the weirdness and horror of shows like Buffy or "Goosebumps", as well as the dark side of nostalgia.

Stein's childrens horror book series, "Goosebumps", was a staple of 90's culture, and Ericka, Adrian, King Loke, and special guest, writer and poet, Sai Marie, come together to reminisce and extol the greatness of those formative books.

Feminist Horror (Part 1)
King Loke, Ericka, and Adrian delve into the world of Feminist Horror! Most horror movies obsess over frightening monsters—in feminist horror, the real terror lies in the societal pressures, gender roles, and objectification women endure daily. This episode unpacks how films like The Substance, Run, Sweetheart, Run, and Companion expose the hidden horrors of objectification, societal control, and toxic masculinity, reshaping the way we see gender dynamics in horror narratives. You’ll discover how fear uniquely manifests in women’s experiences, from the commodification of bodies in The Substance to the gaslighting and powerlessness in Run, Sweetheart, Run. We break down the transformative power of agency—how characters reclaim control, challenge cultural expectations, and fight back against oppressive forces—using costumes, violence, and even menstrual blood as symbols of resistance. Explore how feminist horror questions not just the monsters but the social constructs that empower them. We analyze the monster’s hidden face—patriarchy, toxic masculinity, societal silence—that perpetuates this violence. These stories aren’t just entertainment—they’re a call to recognize the ongoing battle for equality and self-determination in both fiction and real life.
