Sabotage Holiday 2023 "It only took 4 years and a major global event but the kids were finally old enough to do the stunt work required to recreate SABOTAGE by THE BEASTIE BOYS for our holiday card this year. We hope you enjoy it as much as we loved making it. Happy Holidays one and all! (the original)

Intergalactic, in 2019. "Inspired by the 20th anniversary of the Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic" music video release. Shot in Toronto's underground PATH, Union Station and the TTC. Subscribe for future videos and see our printed postcard @_angelayoung_ on Instagram. Lilah, Levi & Angela hope your holidays are out of this world! "

Oh, so this is why people have children. It finally makes sense to me!

I wish I got holiday cards that said "the kids were finally old enough for the stunt work."

I tend to not think very highly of people using their kids to generate content, but this passes the bar of a) brilliant, and b) one of those rare cases where the children actually yearn for the mines, because it looks like a hell of a lot of fun to make.

Just putting this out there: I have long wanted to hear Sabotage played on the taiko drums. Universe, do your thing.

This would have been my brother’s dream. (His Halloween costume that year was Nathan Wind as Cochise.)

Damn, I wish I'd had the mad organizational skills to do this with my kids when they were of an age.
