Two washed up, rival C-list TV actresses fight to remain relevant all while becoming unwittingly entangled in a doomsday cult’s plan to kickstart the apocalypse. The problem? They're both the key to stopping it...all they have to do is work together.
CATASTROPHE QUEENS follows frenemies Hazel Hellborne and Babe-ula (aka Hazel Thompson and Barbara Menzel), two washed up, rival C-list actresses who fight to remain relevant in today’s society all while becoming unwittingly entangled in a doomsday cult’s plan to kickstart the apocalypse.
The two women frequent the convention circuit as their way of making ends meet, selling their autographs and posing for awkward photos with kids young enough to be their grandchildren.
When, at one convention in Winnipeg, they discover that their characters are being rebooted with younger, slimmer actresses, essentially cutting them off from their only source of income. If that’s not bad enough, on their way out, they’re attacked by demonic creatures who try to drag them off who knows where for who knows what. Luckily, a ragtag group of misfits shows up just in the nick of time and saves Hazel and Barb from certain doom. The leader of the group, an Indigenous woman named Nadie, tells them what’s going on to the best of her knowledge (the whole doomsday cult bringing forth the end times thing), and that Hazel and Barb are the key to stopping it. All they have to do is work together. Which is easier said than done.
