Seasons 1 and 2 are fully available and even nominated for a People’s Choice Award for Best Music Podcast. Season 3 recently kicked off with this episode here: Metallica: Master of Puppets. We hope you enjoy it while you wait patiently for the next episode of Cinema Decon. Please follow and subscribe to Music Rewind if you do. Thank you for listening and you will hear from us soon.
