2025 · 10m · USA
Directed by Whit Conway
Tones: absurdist, dark, humorous
A clothing-shop manager rollerblades through wedding-and-holiday vignettes to introduce his personal top five tracks, before the bit collapses into an unsettling domestic scene. Style-piece-as-jukebox-as-confession.

The scouts
I would watch a man in retail polyester rollerblade through anything, but the turn here is the real prize. Conway baits you with a meme and lands a knife.
Whit Conway lets the jukebox bit metastasize into a domestic horror miniature, with Brad Howe rollerblading across the tonal fault line. The Heidecker-Lentzou hybrid the comps promise actually arrives.
Brad Howe rollerblading through a parking lot in mall-uniform as music-video host is a strong specific commitment, and the page summary's mention of the bit fracturing into an awkward domestic scene suggests Conway knows when to let the style break.
