## Resource

Two weeks ago, I dropped the full deep-dive episode on Heavy Metal with illustrator/ artist Brett Kelley, and if you haven’t checked that out yet, this is your sign. Today’s as part of our new formatting in Season 3, I have a standalone trivia segment packed with some of the wildest behind-the-scenes facts, obscure details, and straight-up insane production stories from this cult classic. From lost music rights that kept the film off home video for YEARS, to the truth behind Taarna’s flying steed, to the real bones used in the animation… yeah, it gets weird.And trust me, this is just the appetizer.🎧 Watch / Listen to the FULL episode by visiting the show page!If you’re into cult films, animation history, or chaotic production stories, this one’s for you.👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more film deep dives, trivia, and behind-the-scenes breakdowns.#HeavyMetal #filmfacts #MovieTrivia #FilmTrivia #80scartoons #CultClassic #animationhistory #filmcommunity #1980sMovies #FilmPodcast #WhatIfIDontLikeIt #cultfilm #filmtok #filmdiscussion #movietok #filmpodcast
