We're back!

from The Heavy Metal Hangover · host Rex and Duff

The dust has settled, the hiatus is officially over, and we are back in the studio! On this long-awaited episode of The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff are catching up on where we’ve been, what we’ve been up to, and why we’re hitting the ground running. We dive straight into the recent industry shifts and a rising retro trend that have pushed us back to buying physical media—from killer special features to the satisfaction of actually owning your music and movies on disc and vinyl. We’re also talking about some of our absolute favorite metal concert releases on Blu-ray, DVD, and VHS that belong on every headbanger’s shelf. And finally, the moment you’ve been waiting for: Case Closed! We are officially solving a long-standing mystery that has been an inside joke with Rex and Duff for decades regarding a horror character's hat and how it clearly indicates his love of a certain band. Its tie to the heavy metal scene and how the truth is finally revealed!
