In this first edition of One Shot, Adam and Rob spotlight a music video from an artist who might not have a massive video catalog—but delivered one unforgettable visual that helped define an era. This time, it's Natalie Imbruglia's emotionally layered 1997 debut, “Torn.”

They break down the deceptively simple one-room setup, the slow unraveling of the room, and how the video’s subtle choices—like bad dancing and visible film crews—mirror the emotional deconstruction in the song itself.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• The brilliance behind the one-shot setup and why it still holds up

• How the crumbling set becomes a metaphor for a relationship falling apart

• How the director and wardrobe choices helped define 1990s fashion aesthetics

• Fun trivia: From “Torn” being a cover to the Billboard chart rules that kept it off the Hot 100

  
  

Plus, the debut of their new trivia game, Natalie or Natalie, where Rob has to guess whether a fact belongs to Natalie Imbruglia or Natalie Merchant. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t go well.

Torn may have been her first big single, but this episode shows just how much thought, artistry, and emotional impact went into making it a video worth remembering.
