Earlier this month, we got a sneak peek at the Spike Jonze-directed music video for the new Beastie Boys single "Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win," and today it drops in its entire, epic form. Prepare to have your mind blown.
To understand it, you must watch it, (yes, all 11 minutes of it) but here's an idea of just some of the things to expect: action figures, ziplines, machine guns, humvees, explosions, heartbreak, loss, burning plastic, agony, blood, revenge, zombies, yetis, a funky sax beat, decapitation, jetpacks, bazookas, sharks, submarines, and wine coolers. Whoa. Enjoy:
