  • This was inevitable

    Perhaps the most passionate, obsessed fans of any kind of music are metal fans - and there's plenty of overlap between metal and many other geeky obsessions - movies, comics, etc. And here's a long-running show that embraces it all - definitely recommended for metal geeks, but also geeks in general.
