About This Episode

Episode Description:
Rewind & React goes full pop-punk mayhem with a look into some of Blink-182’s most iconic and ridiculous music videos. Adam and Rob throw it back to the era of streaking through LA, high school food fights, and boy band parodies – with plenty of middle fingers and male nudity along the way.

Here’s what we’re covering:

  • Josie – A full-blown high school rom-com in under four minutes featuring awkward crushes, food fights, and a surprise ambulance twist.

  • What’s My Age Again? – Blink’s breakout MTV moment with three naked guys running through LA, blurring the line between immaturity and genius.

  • All the Small Things – A spot-on parody of ‘90s boy band tropes, with Tom, Mark, and Travis skewering pop culture in matching white outfits and beach slow-mo.

  • First Date – Goofy wigs, fake mustaches, and vintage mall makeovers – Blink channels That ’70s Show energy in one of their most playful videos.

  • Always – A slick, split-screen experiment with a nonlinear love triangle and synchronized chaos that proves Blink can be artsy too.

  • One More Time – A full-circle reflection on growing older, reconciling differences, and the band’s legacy – emotional and cinematic in a way only Blink could pull off.

From early punk pranksters to reflective rock veterans, Adam and Rob track Blink-182’s evolution while sharing behind-the-scenes trivia, fan debates, and personal nostalgia.

This episode is packed with mall-core energy, MTV memories, and musical breakdowns worthy of Travis Barker himself. Don’t miss it – subscribe now and let the nostalgia ride.
