NATHAN EXPLOSION TAKES ON SHAKESPEARE

Remember the third season of Metalocalypse? ‘Cause I barely do. Not that I don’t love the show — it just feels like it aired so goddamn long ago. What happened? How many episodes were there? I remember they got longer, but… that’s about it. Sheesh.

Luckily, I can soon refresh my memory: Noisecreep tells me that the third season is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray — the latter being a first for the program — on November 2. In addition to looking purdier on Blu-Ray, that version of the disc will come with some extra extra features, including “Nathan Explosion reading from William Shakespeare’s Othello and five music videos that were featured on Dethklok’s last tour.” Holy shit, that sounds like fun. Do you think Nathan plays Iago? I would actually put on my Sunday best and go to a theater on Broadway and pay real money to see Nathan Explosion as Iago. [deep, growly Nathan Explosion voice] “I am, uh, not what I am.” I’m suddenly SO HAPPY I made the switch Blu-Ray (the dying format of physical media be damned!), I can’t even tell you.

And then hopefully at some point in the near future we’ll get more Metalocalypse episodes at a consistent enough rate that I won’t completely forget what happened.
