Patton Oswalt thinks I’m gay
I’ll admit it. I love super cheesy ’80s heavy metal. And yeah, I love the even cheesier videos that went along with them. Big hair. Big guitars. Big explosions. Though, as comedian Patton Oswalt puts it, they’re made up of groups of guys with no shirts on that are usually “rocking out in a factory [...]
