Pass the Brain Cell

5 idiots, each with the heavy burden of knowledge in different areas of pop culture, take turns explaining their fixations and fandom experiences to each other. Each week, we will dive into a wide range of topics that have had a tight grip on our one (1) remaining brain cell we have to share between us. Tune in for a variety of discussions, from brony fandom drama to Supernatural ship wars to game development horror stories.
