What follows are a few video sites that appeal to pop culture aficionados like me.
Postmodern Jukebox
Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox reimagines today’s hit music in the style of various yesteryears. He describes his work as “New music, old style.”
Recent videos include a ’70s roller disco-style cover of “Sucker” by the Jonas Brothers sung by Stefano, a cover of “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X sung by blues legend Miche Braden, and a tango style cover of “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish sung by Ariana Savalas.
Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox have a residency at the Mirage resort in Las Vegas and also tour. Check out their website.
Eclectic Method
Eclectic Method, aka Jonny Wilson, is a video remixer, music maker and DJ. He started out as a digital outlaw who spliced together music, TV and movies and set it to high-energy dance beats. That led to him professional gigs and collaborations with Chuck D, Donald Glover and others.
Darth Blender
Darth Blender creates fun video mashups for nerds and pop culture geeks. The site likes to mess with Marvel, DC, Star Wars characters and more.
His work reminds me of remix sites like 80’s Style Trailers by Erick Solis and Premakes by Whoiseyevan. Both of those sites are inactive.
Honest Trailers
Honest Trailers by Screen Junkies provides funny, brutally honest critiques on movies present and past in the form of fake movie trailers.
