Rewind & React keeps the Halloween spirit going with one of the most stylishly spooky videos of the 2000s — “Heads Will Roll” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Adam and Rob break down this blood-splattered dance party that blends horror, humor, and glitter into one unforgettable fever dream.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The disco-dancing werewolf that’s part Michael Jackson tribute, part B-movie chaos

• How the glowing stage floor, sequined jacket, and hat pay homage to Michael Jackson’s legendary Billie Jean performance

• The wild use of confetti instead of blood — and why it makes the violence feel both playful and surreal

• Director Richard Ayoade’s clever mix of absurdity and art, and how it fits his signature offbeat style

• The subtle commentary on art, performance, and creation — why the band keeps “playing” even as chaos unfolds

• How the synth-heavy soundtrack and 80s horror aesthetics tie back to the Thriller era

Plus, Adam and Rob play a special Halloween trivia round: Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Talking Heads?—where disco jackets, big suits, and synthwave confusion collide.

From red confetti to glowing drums, this episode celebrates the perfect balance of style, satire, and scream-worthy fun.

In this One Shot edition of Rewind & React, Adam and Rob dive into the kaleidoscopic world of Porter Robinson’s 2024 music video “Cheerleader.”

They break down the sensory overload of styles—live action, CGI, stop-motion, 2D and 3D animation—that collide to create a hyperpop visual journey about fandom, obsession, and the blurry lines between reality and fantasy.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The parasocial relationship at the heart of the video and how it compares to classics like Eminem’s Stan

• The wild mashup of aesthetics—from karaoke rooms to kaiju sequences—that keep viewers on their toes

• Nostalgia nods, from 90s “build-your-own-character” games to anime-inspired designs

• How the video turns extreme fandom into a looping narrative of gummies, Godzilla, and surreal transformations

• A closer look at Porter’s creative process in building Cheerleader’s sound

Plus, the guys cap things off with a new trivia game—Porter Robinson or Gwen Stefani?—where cheerleaders meet Hollaback Girls in a battle of pop culture facts.

Cheerleader may be a recent release, but it’s already pushing the boundaries of what a music video can be.
