Behind-the-scenes[]
- The livestream of Heatwave! was the seventh presentation of Movie Jo Night.
- The livestream was produced by Chris Gersbeck.
- Although Movie Jo Night had previously used material that was originally produced for television, this installment began a trend of using made-for-TV projects exclusively. This practice continued until The Fantastic Four, then resumed in the subsequent installment.
