Deerhoof - Exit Only

To the delight of viewers all over, Deerhoof has enlisted Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road) to star as the principal actor for "Exit Only." The trick is that he's engaged in a staring contest with himself, playing BOTH sides of the competition, and he does both with a devilish conviction. The first Michael immediately goes on the attack, cueing up "Exit Only" on his headphones and proceeds to use a sort of cosmic power to absolutely destroy the vulnerable version of himself seated across the table. A frostbitten hand and busted teeth are a few of the punishments he dishes out, but it still can't elicit a blink from either side. And right when it seems as though they are on the verge of tearing out their retinas (or worse), guitarist Ed Rodriguez blasts through the wall to vanquish the evil Michael to his proper place six feet under. This may all seem a bit bizarre, but with the acting talents of Shannon shining through this video is a crazy trip packed in under three minutes. A worthy viewing if there ever was one!
