About this listen

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.
