Metal Grasshopper

2014 · 1 season

A shaggy, deadpan hangout lark where a metal legend half-heartedly bullies a wiry comedian through absurd rock rituals.

Overview: Metal Grasshopper pairs the unlikely duo of Heavy Metal God Philip H. Anselmo with comedian, dandy, and NPR darling Dave Hill. Dave begs Phil to mold him into "The baddest metal motherfucker of all time." Phil begrudgingly relents and the abuse and absurdity reach epic levels.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and dark. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Music, friendship, identity, obsession
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
