Spoiler, since I doubt you will ever watch it: You think you're watching a movie about boxing, but it's really about assisted suicide & the ethics surrounding it. The "B" plot, as you always say
@jackiekashian.bsky.social Listening to the Heavy Metal episodes, & a couple of things. With Monster Magnet, the song you are most like to have heard is "Spacelord" of the album that was written on a drinks and drugs bender. It got wide airplay.

Violent Femmes (3 times)
Metallica(twice)
Dick Dale(twice)
Iron Maiden (at least 4)
