Megan Thee Cinephile is back with another riff on a cult classic. Again revisiting Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland cartoon, his music video for “Don’t Stop” drops the Cheshire Cat in a velvet strip club where Megan leads a troupe of fashionable dancers ( co-stars on HBO’s Legendary, naturally). He even recreates the iconic Edward Scissorhands haircut scene, peering through sculpted fences as Young Thug wields the infamous blades. It’s a delirious journey through familiar cinematic images, all fueled by Megan’s irreverent, tongue-wagging charisma.

For the video for the title track from Ariana Grande’s sixth album, the pop star tries to ease the nation’s collective anxiety surrounding the presidential election by giving us a happy version of the White House. Grande swans around in Jackie Kennedy outfits as commander-in-chief (with a gold portrait of her chihuahua Toulouse in the cabinet room), with a fabulous cast of aides that includes regular collaborators Victoria Monét and Tayla Parx. He even awards a Medal of Freedom to USPS workers, another anti-Trump blow in a clip full of them.

Japanese rock band CHAI has a stellar track record for creative and unexpected videos, be it with arms or heads. bright pink paper background or smearing each other’s face in a garage For their new song “Donuts Mind If I Do,” the band’s quiet camaraderie has a literally timeless portrayal. Set at a tea party on a bucolic hillside, the band eats plate-sized colorful donuts. Then it all time jumps to the same location years later, with CHAI dressed in old age makeup, with clumsy caps and glasses. They are still eating their donuts and enjoying each other’s company, lounging in trees and reading books together. It is a lovely testament to an enduring friendship.
