Banger Films has released all eight episodes from “Heavy Metal Hitchhiker”, the original comedy web series produced by its digital division BangerTV. You can now watch them below.
The series is directed and co-written by Marc Ricciardelli (“Shredders Of Metal”, “Protest The Hero: Of Our Own Volition”) and stars comedian Garrett Jamieson and is soundtracked by music from POWER TRIP, CARCASS, MUNICIPAL WASTE, EARTHLESS and POSSESSED, as well as a slew of Canadian artists such as EXCITER, KEN MODE, PROTEST THE HERO, CANCER BATS, MOUNT CYANIDE, SARIN and SMOULDER.
This action-packed comedy series follows a day in the life of Mitch, a heavy metal-loving gas station attendant, who stumbles upon an abandoned guitar that belongs to his favorite band, RÄGR. In a moment of happenstance, Mitch realizes that he must follow in his father’s roadie-shaped footsteps and return the six-stringed axe to the band in time for their headlining concert. Without money or wheels, Mitch‘s only option is to hitchhike. He’s got 10 hours to travel 247 kilometers to fulfill his destiny.
