One Hour, One Brain Cell

If one thing's for sure, it's that the eventual Super Bowl episode of Abbott Elementary is going to run the sitcom genre like the Navy. We're hoping our newest episode can match up to even half of that level. We're talking all things Superb Owl, before rapidly descending into the chaos of our latest ~80 hours spent together in the Windy City. Prepare for all the nuns, puns, and piz...

Today we lay our streak of episodes under an hour to rest, alongside all of Drake’s musical dreams and aspirations. (We’d like to publicly thank Kendrick Lamar for his service in being the biggest awarded hater of the year.) We’re recapping all the winners from this year’s Grammy awards - both on stage and on the red carpet - and feel free to heat up your ARTPOP & Alejandro nachos with us as w...

Have you ever wanted to add stress to your life by taking responsibility for the care and well-being of a living thing, but aren't quite ready to commit to one with two or four fully-grown legs? Try plant ownership, where you can have all of the mess of parenthood without ever being able to understand what they truly need! And if you need a little self-care time away from your newly acquired l...

We've had flights that lasted longer than the TikTok ban - but you've also probably had better things to do with your time than watch our show, so it all evens out. On this week's episode, we're channeling the aura of Sir Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari debut, proving our vocabulary knowledge on Lucy Dacus' latest tracks, and receiving noise complaints from our neighbors - althoug...

We're gathered here today to mourn the loss of a close friend and cherished member of our weekly screen time report, TikTok. As the potential ban approaches, Richie and Jordan show us what they've chosen to preserve as historians of this wonderful chapter in our internet history. So turn the brightness all the way up - you can use our latest episode to light your way at 3am while going to...

This episode is best enjoyed cold - and if you're somewhere in the Midwest right now, that's really your only option since all of winter showed up in a span of 24 hours. In an effort to thaw things out, your hosts are tackling some of the week's hottest topics, including red carpet fashion and the winners and losers of this year's Golden Globes. Plus, Richie finally dives into the age-old argument...

It's our milestone 50th episode, and as our gift to you, it's three whole minutes shorter than one hour! To celebrate, we're dropping some Lore in the episode description: did you know that the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was actually originally called "Vampires in Love", and was written for a musical version of Nosferatu? Also, can we revive that production with about 2000 more live rats, p...

'Tis the season for spiked anxiety levels, low bank accounts, and tastefully avoiding provoking your family members with dinner table conversation (oh, and also for our year-end recap show). We're breaking down our top picks for all the memes, movies, and moments that contributed to our collective brain rot over the last year - and also selecting our newest film to have unchecked personal beef wit...

It's our one year anniversary on the show! To celebrate, we're taking you on a little trip down memory lane for some of our finest moments from the past year. We're also holding Richie hostage until he updates his Letterboxd rating of La La Land to more than 2.5 stars. So tune in for Philomena Cunk, punk rock, and indoor pyrotechnics on this very special birthday edition of the One Hour, One Brain...

Much like this past weekend's F1 race stewarding, this episode makes absolutely no sense and is only half-heartedly managed. Up first, we're making a case for a recount in favor of the people's champion, Ilona Maher, on the only season of 'Dancing With the Stars' we've ever cared about. We're following it up with a recap all of the yellow flags of the Qatar Grand Prix weekend, and a few pivotal fo...

This Thanksgiving week, it's our pleasure to bring you some talking points that will make you the star of the kids' table or your post-dinner cousins walk. It's also a perfect companion soundtrack to fist fighting someone over a flat screen TV at your local Best Buy. But heed this dire and serious warning: don't forget to hold space at your table for the lyrics of Defying Gravity, and definitely d...

We're taking a break from shooting free throws, reading our astrological charts, and defying gravity to bring you this 45th episode of the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast. Warning: may contain bad jokes, numerous references to Willem Dafoe, and the perils of daylight savings time. So settle in around the fire, won't you? The show is about to begin. Because the world needed another podcast, follow...

Abandon all coherent episode sequence, all ye who enter here... We're serving up our special LH44 episode of the podcast with a delightful spread of Grammy nominations, cars on various racetracks, The Algorithm, and buttered waffles. Yes, you read that correctly. So come see what's new in the kitchen here at the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast! Because the world needed another podcast, follow us:...

Gather around, friends - we've finally reached the end of The Witches' Road. Join us for our recap of episodes 8 and 9 of everyone's favorite new series as we strive to answer the most pressing question: was it *really* Agatha All Along? Spoilers throughout! Because the world needed another podcast, follow us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ohobcpod/ X: https://twitter.com/ohobcpod/ TikTok:...

When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the walls… Oh, our bad. We were trying to describe our show from our apartment neighbors’ perspectives. Gather your ghouls, goblins, and green witches - it’s our first ever Halloween episode at the One Hour, One Brain Cell podcast! Because the world needed another podcast, follow us: Instagram: https://www.inst...

Are you troubled by strange noises coming from your WiFi router? Do you experience feelings of dread near cell towers and computers? Have you or your family actually seen a 5G network? If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Just pick up the phone and call John Tavares with his magical amulet. And while we're speaking about warding off evil, join us for a recap of McLaren's lackluste...

If this show played with a ouija board, the planchette would spell S-T-U-P-I-D. But we haven't let that stop us from creating 40 episodes, and enough content to fill up over an entire industry-mandated work week - plus some overtime that we're definitely not getting paid for. We're talking all the twists and turns of Agatha All Along episode five, the latest news in our too-specific music niche, a...

If there's one thing you should know about us by now, it's that we won't let a good bit die. Actually, we don't really let any bits die regardless of whether they're good or not. So here's your callback to episode 10, and the joke about the movie about the beach that makes you old. Accompanying the main feature tonight is a review of Agatha All Along episodes 3 and 4 (contains spoilers), Richie's...

Do you remember the near-universal experience of going to school the day after a big concert in town, and everyone who went was wearing their merch like a badge of honor? Yeah, this whole episode is basically just that. Come hang with us as we recount our Julien Baker concert road trip in its entirety, including the most chaotic playlist ever created, parallel parking to ABBA, and getting biblical...

Seekest thou the road, to all that's dumb and daft... Get in, witches! We're talking all about this week's two-episode premiere of Agatha All Along, complete with minor spoilers (ye be warned). It's mostly just us singing the praises of Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza, but who can really blame us? Plus, another race weekend means a recap and a special tribute to everyone's favorite smiling assassin,...

Concentration, focus, memorization, and raw speed: all attributes that Richie will hope to harness while he races against the clock to internalize every lyric Julien Baker has ever written before our concert. I guess, now that you mention it, that these skills would make a pretty good Formula 1 driver too - so we're covering all the action and the highs and lows of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on tod...

Our qualifications for being your new favorite show? Ah. Well... We attended Juilliard... We're graduates of the Harvard business school and travel quite extensively. We lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. We've seen the Exorcist about a hundred and sixty-seven times, and it keeps getting funnier every single time... On today's episode, we're showing off Jordan's...

Live from an undisclosed location, it's Saturday night! Starring the end of brat summer, the Monza Grand Prix, and our third week of Julien Baker song rankings - with musical guest, Twenty One Pilots and the Clancy World Tour! Now, here are your hosts, Jordan and Richie! (If you're reading this, subscribe to our channel and rate our show five stars on your listening platform of choice. And also, d...

We'd like to extend our sincerest thanks for dining with us tonight, and hope that your experience will be a pleasant one. Today's four-course offering features a variety of traditional podcast favorites, starting with an aperitif of Taylor Swift, accompanied by her latest music video and garnished with footage from the Eras Tour. For our starter, a premature detour into Pumpkin Spice Flav...

Turmoil has engulfed the Podcast Republic. Richie's recent review of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi on Letterboxd is in dispute. Hoping to make sense of the matter by providing her own perspective, cohost Jordan has stopped all consideration of his star ratings. While the congress of the Podcast endlessly debates this chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knight...
