The team calls it 141 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:46,160 self a satirical art collaboration which relies on music visuals and the show little biggs mocks 142 00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:50,920 various national stereotypes about russia i think maybe skibbity plays up to a little bit more just 143 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,300 in terms of looks of the surroundings and their costumes and all that shit but this one's a bit 144 00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:59,840 more of a sort of madcap adventure just happens to star crazy russians oh it depends how you see it 145 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:07,840 the first because you know the go-to is very glitzy and there's a lot of like fake style and lack of 146 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,800 substance which is also like very stereotypical of how foreigners view russian people yeah it's 147 00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:18,600 kind of the stereotype of a rich russian guy swanning in with a big gold watch and i should 148 00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:23,280 stereotypes exist for a reason it doesn't mean everyone's like that but there's no smoke without 149 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,780 fire sort of situation yeah so i'm just transfixed by the video i'm just watching it i should probably 150 00:07:27,850 --> 00:07:31,820 turn off i keep looking at it i was just a whole production value i mean there's lots of little 151 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,840 nuances to just cool little references to to props to the way they seem to you know steal the stuff 152 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,640 and the van and i don't know i just kind of like the whole sort of lo-fi heist style vibe i wasn't 153 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,840 trying to copy anything it was i think it was quite original and it's in its approach and its style i 154 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:54,240 think it did take a lot of references from modern cinema and the way it looks and the way it's shot 155 00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:58,240 and i don't know i just can't say a bad thing about it i just think that yeah production value of this 156 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,700 is definitely the best thing we've seen. 157 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,020 I think it is actually the most recent video 158 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,740 we've ever talked about on this podcast. 159 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,740 I think it was May 2020. 160 00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:09,400 I didn't actually realise this was that recent 161 00:08:09,950 --> 00:08:12,640 until there's a newspaper at 1 minute 36 162 00:08:12,930 --> 00:08:15,460 that the lipstick guy is holding up. 163 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:16,920 He's got to be cut out for his eyes 164 00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:18,380 like in old cartoons and stuff like that. 165 00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:19,680 Add one for his mouse, which is hilarious. 166 00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:21,300 The translated headline is roughly, 167 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,760 because this was done with Google Translate, 168 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,300 Hooligan Millionaire will present Russia at Eurovision. 169 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,860 Which, obviously, they were doing. 170 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,200 And then there's a story about coronavirus underneath it. 171 00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:33,460 It does say in the YouTube description 172 00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:35,940 saying the filming took place in St. Petersburg 173 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,780 before the COVID-19 outbreak in the Russian Federation. 174 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,080 So whenever that might have been. 175 00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:42,620 So they just squeaked in before the world went to shit. 176 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:43,780 Just did. 177 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,660 They released a Christmas song called 2020 Can Suck My Dick. 178 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,900 I do feel that's quite good as well. 179 00:08:50,140 --> 00:08:51,980 I mean, to be fair, 2020 Can Suck My Dick. 180 00:08:52,460 --> 00:08:53,660 Yes, mine as well. 181 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,960 2020, just get in line. 182 00:08:56,360

There is nothing else to say. 189 00:09:27,380 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaking of details, alcohol and cigarettes and drugs and everything, like anything addictive, 190 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,500 was portrayed by drawing materials, like pencils and pens and whiteboard markers. 191 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,500 And it's just kind of funny. 192 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,080 It was very obvious what they were going for, but also things like, say, having the long pencil 193 00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:53,600 in the cigarette holder, like the lady was holding, but both ladies were holding. 194 00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:56,880 It's such a detail, this was almost like you can miss it very easily. 195 00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:58,480 For me, anyway, the first time I watched it, 196 00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:00,240 I sort of didn't really pay much attention, 197 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,580 all the writing implement stuff. 198 00:10:01,690 --> 00:10:03,580 It keeps on building in ridiculousness 199 00:10:03,870 --> 00:10:06,980 to the point where a guy is actually snorting pencil shavings. 200 00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:09,540 And you're just like, OK, this is... 201 00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:10,800 They're going hard with this theme. 202 00:10:11,140 --> 00:10:12,780 It actually reminds me of one of my friends in school 203 00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:14,900 who smoked pencil shavings 204 00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:16,160 because he thought it might get him high. 205 00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:19,020 This is the most Glasgow thing you could have said, honestly. 206 00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:21,700 Yeah, it didn't, believe it or not. 207 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,160 What a surprise. 208 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,560 But, you know, he had fun. 209 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,740 What's he doing these days? 210 00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:27,680 He's actually all right. 211 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,520 Working for Bic. 212 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,860 Well, they make pens. 213 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,820 That's not a good joke. 214 00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:33,720 Yeah, he shook his pencil shaving addiction. 215 00:10:34,780 --> 00:10:35,380 Moved to ink. 216 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,140 I'm just watching the video you've bought, Neil, 217 00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:39,580 and I really want to watch it immediately. 218 00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:40,740 Oh, yeah, what is this? 219 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:41,560 It looks great fun. 220 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,300 We'll be able to have a live update from Neil in the chat. 221 00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:46,240 It's like a behind the scenes of the video 222 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,180 from a makeup artist who worked on it. 223 00:10:49,310 --> 00:10:51,880 But it's quite interesting because it's showing you the set. 224 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:53,480 Oh my god, it's 45 minutes. 225 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:54,760 And the behind the scenes stuff. 226 00:10:55,060 --> 00:10:56,740 But here's the thing, if you look at her channel, 227 00:10:56,940 --> 00:11:00,540 she's done absolutely every little big behind the scenes stuff. 228 00:11:00,580 --> 00:11:02,820 Fuck, I wish I knew about this before I started. 229 00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:05,340 Oh, they've been pretty hard, yes. 230 00:11:05,620 --> 00:11:05,920 Shit. 231 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,600 How do you say that, the woman's name? 232 00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:09,360 Is it Maya? 233 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,300 Masha. 234 00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:10,880 Masha. 235 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,680 Masha Frantzowicz. 236 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,660 Yeah, I'll stick a link to the behind the scenes of this video, 237 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,720 which Neil has just found. 238 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,000 And unfortunately, we haven't watched because that would have been very good research for this podcast. 239 00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:28,560 The thing is, we get a lot of our premium first hand information from a site called Wikipedia, 240 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,640 which did not link to this video, the making of the video. 241 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:32,300 Wikipedia. 242 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:32,900 Wikipedia. 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,800 Yes, it's very, very good source material. 244 00:11:35,380 --> 00:11:38,340 I research all my bad, bad music videos in the library. 245 00:11:38,370 --> 00:11:38,780 I don't know. 246 00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:42,060 Like what? 247 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,180 It's where they keep the rarys. 248 00:11:44,620 --> 00:11:46,800 What is that library thing you're talking about? 249 00:11:47,180 --> 00:11:51,340 It's kind of like a web page, but you can actually hold it. 250 00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:51,780 It's amazing. 251 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,840 It's kind of like augmented reality. 252 00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:55,040 So like a tablet? 253 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,420 Yeah, it's like a tablet. 254 00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:57,040 It doesn't change. 255 00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:58,180 It's like a broken ink tablet. 256 00:11:58,190 --> 00:11:59,000 Oh, that's boring then. 257 00:11:59,180 --> 00:11:59,280 Yeah. 258 00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:01,960 So where do you find those libraries? 259 00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:08,240 Usually in things called high streets is where in the before times people would go to shop. 260 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,540 It's a bit like Amazon, but not online. 261 00:12:10,690 --> 00:12:13,600 But a high street, do people just go high in there? 262 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,580 Why are they called high streets? 263 00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:15,540 I think we're going off the rails. 264 00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,680 That's actually a very good point. 265 00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:18,680 Why are they called high streets? 266 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:19,460 No idea. 267 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,540 I think that's something that's actually worth looking up. 268 00:12:23,700 --> 00:12:27,000 Why are streets called high streets? 269 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,800 To display the superiority of this street as like a passing match for streets. 270 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,000 Wikipedia has a really good entry on the definition. 271 00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:37,340 This episode is brought to you by Wikipedia and every other episode. 272 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,240 Thanks, Wikipedia. 273 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:45,240 The name seems to have emerged in the 12th century. 274 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,300 when the word high began to indicate something or someone of a higher or more important status than others. 275 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:54,240 So it's about class, of course. 276 00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,500 It's importance, I guess, yeah. 277 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:57,460 Most things in Britain. 278 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,140 But anyway, back to the video. 279 00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:01,320 We've all learned something about the English language today. 280 00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:04,500 Can you just imagine the amount of fun it must have been to shoot this? 281 00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:10,200 Like, disregarding the usual stress of filming stuff, just watching this all unfold would be hilarious. 282 00:13:10,350 --> 00:13:13,920 And I think one interesting thing about the video and Scooby Dee as well, 283 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,060 they kind of play on the silent video thing 284 00:13:16,420 --> 00:13:17,560 that kind of popped up a few years ago, 285 00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:20,680 incorporating what was essentially kind of a meme, I guess, 286 00:13:20,860 --> 00:13:23,860 into their actual quote-unquote official music videos, 287 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,700 which I think is pretty glorious. 288 00:13:25,940 --> 00:13:28,640 We talked about this on the David Bowie and Mick Jagger episode 289 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,240 where there's a silent version of the video where there's no music 290 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,140 and it's just the sounds that you would hear if there was no music. 291 00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:36,560 They have it in this video where they're dancing on the table 292 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,300 and it's just them dancing and you hear their clothes rustling around 293 00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:40,599 and they're going... 294 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:50,580 yeah i love that that's correct and it it just never fails to make me laugh it's always a fun 295 00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:55,360 like kind of a break off it's kind of showing how ridiculous everything is i can't remember who said 296 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,180 it but it was a director of some description it was like music musical fucking music lies to you 297 00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:05,800 you can take any old scene and put sad music over it and then instantly the audience goes oh it's sad 298 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,779 or you could put dance music over something and the dancing looks cool but as soon as you take it 299 00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:31,160 off this is a fucking ridiculous situation so i have a question for both of you if you were to plan 300 00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:38,559 a casino heist what would you do well i've said before in this podcast i'm generally in favor of 301 00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:41,540 people bursting into dance at random because I think the world would be a nicer place. 302 00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,240 So this is definitely up there, but I don't want to steal their idea. 303 00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:45,600 So I have to think of that. 304 00:14:45,820 --> 00:14:47,260 The idea is not to be a better place. 305 00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:49,360 The idea is to steal money and run away. 306 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,720 A better place for you. 307 00:14:51,459 --> 00:14:52,220 I like this. 308 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,120 Sounds better. 309 00:14:53,460 --> 00:14:57,540 I think I would find a way to make the slot machines, 310 00:14:58,060 --> 00:15:01,260 like all the slot machines in the casino just start spitting out money. 311 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,900 So there'll be like a massive frenzy. 312 00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:06,040 Everyone will just start stealing everything. 313 00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:07,880 I won't really get that much out of it, 314 00:15:08,020 --> 00:15:09,220 but the casino will lose out. 315 00:15:09,420 --> 00:15:11,400 I think that will be heist well done. 316 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,520 A chaotic heist. 317 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,720 You're doing a heist for the people. 318 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,260 Isn't there a movie with Nicolas Cage 319 00:15:17,739 --> 00:15:19,940 where he basically did that? 320 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,620 I can't remember exactly the plot, 321 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,120 but he was basically cheating in casinos, 322 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,440 but always when it was against the casino itself, 323 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,600 like on slot machines and stuff like that, 324 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:30,680 never against other people. 325 00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:32,400 The only movie that comes up is next. 326 00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:35,139 Well, the synopsis on IMDb is 327 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:42,000 a las vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by fbi agents seeking to use his abilities 328 00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:47,680 to prevent the nuclear terrorist attack oh my god how have i not seen this film this is amazing 329 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,580 this actually i think i've seen this before and i don't think it's a bad film and i think there's a 330 00:15:52,780 --> 00:15:57,420 part in it where like nicholas cage maybe it's a bit of a spoiler but towards the end is like running 331 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,039 through like all these scenarios over and over and over again is he doing like uh sherlock holmes 332 00:16:02,060 --> 00:16:06,740 mind palace thing it's sort of like uh what's the best way it's like remember neo when he does or 333 00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:11,080 not neo uh agent smith is like you know dodging the bullets and there's like hundreds of them it's 334 00:16:11,140 --> 00:16:15,080 it's like that there's like a scene like that where nicholas cage is like walking and someone's 335 00:16:15,190 --> 00:16:19,120 shooting at him and you know he's dying and all these alternative versions apart from the one where 336 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:24,960 he's not well i think what i would do for a casino heist is i would weaponize nicholas cage in some 337 00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:30,639 way and just use his his clearly superior acting acting abilities so what he's saying is you're going 338 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,240 to get some loose bees. 339 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,300 And just get Nick's pay, 340 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,560 but pay Nick's cage a little bit, 341 00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:36,340 because, you know, 342 00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:38,220 he's always up for a job, 343 00:16:38,340 --> 00:16:38,540 that man. 344 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:38,740 Oh, yeah. 345 00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:40,520 Pay him to walk in. 346 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,060 Everyone's like, 347 00:16:41,090 --> 00:16:42,140 oh, my God, it's Nick's cage. 348 00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:43,060 Then I unleash the bees. 349 00:16:43,180 --> 00:16:43,880 Yes, then he starts 350 00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:44,580 shutting the bees, 351 00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:45,360 not the bees. 352 00:16:45,940 --> 00:16:47,860 And then I run in 353 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:48,740 in a beekeeper suit. 354 00:16:51,299 --> 00:16:51,860 Question mark, 355 00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:52,620 then profit. 356 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:53,600 Question mark, then profit. 357 00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:54,320 I imagine I would still 358 00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:55,220 have to break through locks, 359 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:56,340 but I'm sure Nick's cage 360 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:57,820 could give me some advice on that. 361 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:58,640 Well, if it's a casino, 362 00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:00,300 then surely there'll be money out. 363 00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:02,300 Well, actually, it's not the money, is it? 364 00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:03,380 I don't know how it works. 365 00:17:03,450 --> 00:17:05,500 I could just steal loose change from people's pockets 366 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,180 while they're getting mauled by bees. 367 00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:08,839 Worst case scenario. 368 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,900 Bee man, like Batman, but a bit more annoying. 369 00:17:12,260 --> 00:17:13,319 But anyway, I was just thinking, 370 00:17:13,370 --> 00:17:16,120 I was like, where did he discover this ability 371 00:17:16,209 --> 00:17:17,699 to hypnotise people by dancing? 372 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:18,860 Was it an accident? 373 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,400 Was he just out at the cat house one night 374 00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:22,060 and he just noticed everyone was standing still? 375 00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:23,439 Or did he train in it? 376 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,579 Was it like a samurai film or a martial arts film 377 00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:28,300 where he had a master who taught him how to hypno dance? 378 00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:29,780 Well, there's another guy. 379 00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:36,900 who does exactly the same thing and they do a synchronized dancing at the end. 380 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,740 The guy who is dancing is the lead singer of the band The Hatters. 381 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Both of them, they have their suits. 382 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,160 Since they're wearing, they have their band's respective names on them. 383 00:17:49,420 --> 00:17:52,520 Yeah, I was about to say you could tell us because it's literally printed on them. 384 00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:54,200 But I went on the bench. 385 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,420 So I'm not a fan of Little Big's music, as I already said. 386 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,940 But I was like, I'm just going to check the others. 387 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,200 Maybe they're doing the same Mercedes kind of thing 388 00:18:02,380 --> 00:18:03,400 because they're the same label. 389 00:18:04,020 --> 00:18:07,720 And I spent nearly three hours listening to their music 390 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,600 and looking at their videos and they're so good, 391 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,880 like legit good. 392 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,900 And they're also doing some fun videos. 393 00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:15,140 Yeah, it's a beautiful moment. 394 00:18:15,380 --> 00:18:17,880 They're both there for the same reason to rob the casino. 395 00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,520 They're not aware that they're both there to do the same thing. 396 00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:22,100 It all goes awry and the cops come in 397 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,920 and they just look at each other and nod stoically 398 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,360 and then have a double hypno dance at the cops. 399 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:36,680 I do have one thought I want to make, which is a bit probably a bit off and I understand if you guys disagree with me on that. 400 00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:43,660 So the guy with the lipstick that you keep mentioning, I understand that this is his band persona character. 401 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,880 I don't quite understand it because it's color reverse blackface and I don't understand it. 402 00:18:48,940 --> 00:18:52,980 I got clown more than that. 403 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,400 But if it's a clown, then why those colors? 404 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,780 don't quite understand what 405 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,700 is he trying to do or they're trying to do 406 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,820 I think it's just a persona, the entire 407 00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:03,760 band's fairly consistent with their 408 00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:05,880 visual, you know, sort of 409 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,900 aesthetic throughout all 410 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,800 their videos, so I don't know, maybe it's just what he's 411 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,320 decided to do, it is a bit mad 412 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,280 I'm probably overthinking it 413 00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:16,020 I completely accept the fact that I do 414 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,860 it's just that they don't quite understand why 415 00:19:17,860 --> 00:19:18,760 they went with those colours 416 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,020 I think you are overthinking it, but also 417 00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:23,039 that would be a first 418 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,780 I just presumed he was like Neil said, 419 00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:27,940 trying just to look weird and, you know, 420 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,180 about like a clown and stuff like that. 421 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,260 But at the same time, now that you've mentioned it, 422 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,240 it's hard not to see it. 423 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,420 So I hope that's not what he's going for. 424 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,460 I'll put it like that. 425 00:19:38,860 --> 00:19:41,480 It's a very, very specific imagery 426 00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:44,680 that if you didn't realise, if you did it accidentally, 427 00:19:45,220 --> 00:19:47,540 that's just a very bad look, basically. 428 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:55,320 *music* 429 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,620 I am not going to pretend I'm a massive little big fan. 430 00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:09,900 Their music is not my thing at all, but their videos, there's something different. 431 00:20:10,220 --> 00:20:14,760 their bright colors, absurdist visuals, and superb attention to detail, 432 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,900 recommendable, and a very welcome distraction to, well, everything. 433 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,680 In times when music videos are not as popular as they were during the MTV era, 434 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,500 their videos are just a pure work of art, and all I can say is kudos to Alina Pasok, 435 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,000 or Pasok, I'm sorry, a woman with such fantastic visions and ideas, 436 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,140 and also she's our age and damn it, people who are actually talented. 437 00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:38,640 Damn them, their abilities. 438 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:39,120 yeah 439 00:20:39,980 --> 00:20:40,620 being amazing 440 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,020 stuff 441 00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:42,220 I'll jump in then 442 00:20:42,460 -->

00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,040 start to finish 452 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,720 it looks great 453 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,460 technically it's 454 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:54,720 great 455 00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:55,560 leaves you with 456 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,220 so many questions 457 00:20:56,420 --> 00:20:56,760 about what the 458 00:20:56,780 --> 00:20:57,320 fuck's going on 459 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:57,940 in this strange 460 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:58,580 world they seem 461 00:20:58,580 --> 00:20:59,320 to be inhabiting 462 00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:00,080 it's just 463 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,560 fucking brilliant 464 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,020 go watch it 465 00:21:01,180 --> 00:21:01,660 five seconds 466 00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:02,460 and I knew 467 00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:03,020 I was pretty much 468 00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:03,480 hooked from the 469 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:03,780 beginning 470 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:04,780 it's style 471 00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:05,360 especially the 472 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,060 colour resonates 473 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:06,720 to me it just 474 00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:07,440 looks so good 475 00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:08,680 cinematic and 476 00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:13,460 production value that easily puts most other music videos to shame the deadpan wrestling 477 00:21:13,660 --> 00:21:17,620 bitch faces from the performers i think it's just pure comedy gold and that little interlude between 478 00:21:17,650 --> 00:21:22,380 the two dancers towards the end is just perfect not into the music that much but i didn't hate it 479 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,400 we do have to give a bit of a shout to all the sort of supporting actors all the scenes where 480 00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:30,560 they're hypnotized and they're just holding that one expression which it must have been difficult 481 00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:34,799 to do that without laughing it just feels like it like you were saying david just be good fun to 482 00:21:34,780 --> 00:21:40,140 work on seems like good fun so the best part for me personally was synchronized dancing between the 483 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:47,020 two ringleaders it was just so much fun um and also it was good dancing skills from them and my 484 00:21:47,090 --> 00:21:53,780 runner-up is 39 seconds in the moment when the lady shakes her pencil cigarette into the ashtray and 485 00:21:53,880 --> 00:22:00,080 instead of ash shavings fall off it's just as much such small detail that people can very easily miss 486 00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:01,300 but I just love it. 487 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,300 And the worst part for me 488 00:22:03,310 --> 00:22:04,420 is kind of unrelated 489 00:22:04,780 --> 00:22:05,960 but going back to the conversation 490 00:22:06,050 --> 00:22:07,180 we had about the guy 491 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,160 with the lipstick on 492 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,340 I just don't understand 493 00:22:10,350 --> 00:22:11,420 what his character is 494 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,100 and I'm probably overthinking it 495 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,360 but also just kind of 496 00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:16,180 makes me think of 497 00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:17,280 satire, okay 498 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,260 but of what? 499 00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:18,960 Question mark. 500 00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:20,740 I think my favourite part is 501 00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:22,000 once again it all comes back 502 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:22,840 to the double 503 00:22:23,140 --> 00:22:24,040 double hypno-dance scene 504 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,960 but I'm going to say 505 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:25,980 specifically the look 506 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,040 on Sonya's face 507 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:27,820 in the corner 508 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:28,940 if you just watch her 509 00:22:28,940 --> 00:22:29,620 as they're both 510 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:30,480 hypno dancing away 511 00:22:30,620 --> 00:22:30,980
