Music For Your Eyes

The drought is over, kids. Let’s gather around for the return of Lady Gaga. Kevin and Jose mostly gush and sort of analyze the brand new Gaga single AND video — a disco-y, Power Rangers-y, interplanetary dream.

Jose and Kevin break down their list of the best music videos from 2019. No spoilers, but they involve a cave, an airplane, and dancing with strangers.

Kevin and Jose dissect what goes around...comes around by Justin Timberlake. JT tried his best to make a “short film” but it would’ve been better if it was shorter. He hired Hollywood actors like Scarlet Johansson to make a video that wouldn’t cut it in 2019. Explosions? Nonsensical dialogue? Hula hoops of fire? Look no further.

Kevin and Jose do a not-so-mini MFYE talking all about “ Stupid Girls” by P!nk and the controversy from its release. Everyone from J.K. Rowling to Nicole Richie had something to say about it. A feminist anthem? Or just...not.

This episode Kevin and Jose dive into a deep genre: the one-shot music video. They're part magic trick and part technical masterclass. This time it's the one-shot warehouse videos. We talk about "1, 2, 3, 4" by Feist, "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn, and "Ignore Me" by Betty Who. Choreography is not just for dancers!

This one is for the male gaze and male gays! Jose and Kevin talk about "Boys" by Lizzo and "Boys" by Charli XCX. What does it mean to flip the camera on the men when women are directing? How does being famous change your objectification? Why is vulnerability the sexiest thing of all?

This week, we dive into the whirling telenovela-esque fantasy of Camila Cabello’s video, “Liar.” Campy death scenarios? Flamingos? Disney acting? We review it all. Listen and SHUT UP TAMMY.

Benny Boom directed a LOT of music videos that were... fine, and a LOT of them were Nicki Minaj features. Somehow, Kevin and Jose learn a lot about the artistic vision of "Smack That." It's a ride. We also skim through the throwbacks "1, 2 Step" by Ciara, "Out of My Mind" by B.O.B." and "Put Your Graffiti On Me" by Kat Graham.

Have you ever dreamt about the end of the world via supernova vacuum cleaner? Then this is the music video for you! Soundgarden was tired of trying to make cool music videos, so they turned one of their most popular songs into a surrealist apocalypse. Big mood.

This episode you're going to learn the word 'rotoscoping' because it's what made "Take On Me" by Aha! go viral in the 80s. It took hundreds of hours to hand draw over a music video! Jose and Kevin think about cartooning, bikers and nice cold, ice-cold milk.
