Heavy Pod Is Heavy Cast! This week, we talk about some music, but also the responsibility of certain groups, like Asatru, which have some degree of overlap in iconography and ideology with various supremacist movements but claim to be against them; to examine their beliefs and how anyone can be a more responsible consumer of media. But yeah, also stuff like new music from Origin, Lamb of God (also funny discourse around this and bubbles in the metal scene), Greylotus, Conjurer, Sadist, Hyper Planet, and a bunch of other stuff. Then, cool people time with Weird West, Citizen Sleeper, Dune: Spice Wars, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and of course, The Boys Season 3 (spoilers!). Enjoy! Join our community on Facebook!
