In this One Shot of Rewind & React, Adam and Rob throw on their neon headbands and dive into Walk the Moon’s retro-fueled 2014 hit, “Shut Up and Dance.” This high-energy music video might seem like a lighthearted party on the surface, but it’s packed with clever homages, tongue-in-cheek visuals, and enough 1980s throwbacks to make John Hughes proud.

They break down the prom-night visuals, quirky character dynamics, and how the video captures that idealized moment of fearless connection on the dance floor.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The prom-themed laser tag vibe and how it defines the video’s energy

• How the low-budget aesthetic adds charm rather than taking away from it

• Nicolas Petricca’s John Hughes-ready performance and goofy charisma

• Lauren Taft’s iconic red Chucks and why her dream-girl character stands out

• Say Anything references, Saved by the Bell graphics, and pixel art overload

• The mysterious “glowing villain” and what he might represent (or not)

• 
  

• Plus, Rob shares how this song has become a must-have on his wedding playlist, and the hosts play a new round of trivia: Walk the Moon or 30 Seconds to Mars?, followed by a bonus challenge to rank iconic ‘80s movies by release year.

  Whether you're nostalgic for your own awkward prom or just want to dance in your kitchen, this episode celebrates the joy of letting go, turning it up, and shutting up to dance.

In this edition of One Shot, Adam and Rob dive into a music video that didn’t just make waves—it created a global tsunami. PSY’s “Gangnam Style” exploded onto the scene in 2012, racking up over a billion views and introducing the world to K-pop in a way no one saw coming.

They unpack the visual madness, comedic genius, and cultural context behind the video that defined a digital era—and became a global phenomenon without ever aiming to be one.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• How PSY leveraged absurdity, satire, and style to go viral

• That iconic invisible horse dance—where it came from and why it worked

• How the video subverts expectations in nearly every shot

• The unexpected power of PSY’s “everyman” persona

• What made “Gangnam Style” the perfect storm for early YouTube virality

Plus, Rob quizzes Adam on his knowledge of K-Pop bands.

It’s more than a catchy hook and a horse dance—this episode reveals how a single video kicked the K-pop door wide open for the world.

In this first edition of One Shot, Adam and Rob spotlight a music video from an artist who might not have a massive video catalog—but delivered one unforgettable visual that helped define an era. This time, it's Natalie Imbruglia's emotionally layered 1997 debut, “Torn.”

They break down the deceptively simple one-room setup, the slow unraveling of the room, and how the video’s subtle choices—like bad dancing and visible film crews—mirror the emotional deconstruction in the song itself.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The brilliance behind the one-shot setup and why it still holds up

• How the crumbling set becomes a metaphor for a relationship falling apart

• How the director and wardrobe choices helped define 1990s fashion aesthetics

• Fun trivia: From “Torn” being a cover to the Billboard chart rules that kept it off the Hot 100

  
  

Plus, the debut of their new trivia game, Natalie or Natalie, where Rob has to guess whether a fact belongs to Natalie Imbruglia or Natalie Merchant. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well.

Torn may have been her first big single, but this episode shows just how much thought, artistry, and emotional impact went into making it a video worth remembering.
