Friday Videos - Aug 15, 2025

It takes longer to compile a solid list of Friday Videos these days but let's be honest, your Instagram and TikTok apps are keeping you plenty fed on nonsense. This is just a bonus.

What's that cover image? I haven't the slightest clue.

• The Ballon Dare - I recently caught this on Instagram and enjoyed every single second of it. I look forward to any number of imitators.
• Weird Simpsons VHS by Yoanna Hervo - the artist is certainly someone to learn more about and this Simpson's intro is a fantastic place to start.
• Friendship extended scene - this is one of many extended cuts between Tim Robinson and Connor O'Malley. When Robinson says "What kind of guy are you!?" I lose it. I love this so much.
• Aphex Twin - "Korg Funk 5" - artist Nadia Lee Cohen reimagined this 2017 track into what I'm calling a psychedelic Suspiria but others have called a "surrealist Hollywood hellscape." Tomato, Tomatoe.
• Don't Touch It - the Defy Film Festival is next week. I originally saw this Kirsten Johnson short there.. an excellent revisit.
• Ozzy Osbourne vs Synthesizer - RIP to a real one.
