"Time is a Car" - Partner


"Time Is A Car is a meta music video. A music video in a music video. It's what would have happened if Thelma and Louise escaped with all the money and drove happily ever after off into the sunset and had wonderful prosperous lives. Fueled by music video epics, pulp films, and ripe with sarcasm, Time Is A Car, has the parody quality of Beastie Boys' Sabotage and the vibrancy of Megan Thee Stalion's Thot Sh*t filmed in Victoria, BC."
