metalocalypse
Brendan Small a.k.a. “Brendan” from Home Movies (and various voices on Venture Bros., notably the disturbingly smacked-out Johnny Quest from the last episode) writes and lends his teen-metal guitar to “Metalocalypse“, a new cartoon on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. The first episode aired this weekend and is, um, also here*; so far I like the premise much better than the characters — it’s often a little hard to understand what they’re saying — but given that Small once snuck a rock opera version of Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” into “Home Movies”, I’ll wager the show has potential.

now, i love venture bros. I regularly can be heard claiming that it is the best show on tv. but does the new season strike anyone else as just a wee bit…. on crack? -jesse
I would have agreed about the cracktasticness of the current season, had I not just seen the latest episode, “Twenty Years to Midnight”, which I felt was a true return to form. Also, the intro to the premiere was the most entertaining ten minutes on TV all year.
metalocalpse is the best rock on no strike that metal on bitches
Metalocalpse should sell music in real life!
