We talked, in a very non-spoilery way, about why we love the show so much, and then pivoted to heavy spoiler territory to discuss theories and storylines. (Don’t worry if you haven’t seen it; the episode is edited in a way that makes it easy to skip ahead so nothing is spoiled.) After that, we recommend our favorite media (movies, TV, podcasts, books) that remind us of Severance either in vibe, themes, or both.Our next episode will be an Ask Us Anything so send in your questions to [email protected] Get Oh, I Like That merch here! Things we talked about:“Behind the Scenes of Severance’s ‘Very Creepy’ Office Dance Party” by Roxana Hadadi for Vulture“The Stories Behind Severance’s Eerie Office Design” by Jackson McHenry for Vulture“The Diamond Desk, Surveillance Shots, and 7 Other Stories About Making Severance” as told to Roxana Hadadi, Jackson McHenry, and Kathryn VanArendonk for VultureSeverance recaps at VultureHelly stairwell scene in one continuous timeline posted by u/Veto111 on RedditHelly color theory discussion posted by u/RedRiotingHood on Reddit (SPOILERS ALL THE WAY DOWN)The Lexington LetterAdam Scott, possible hunkThe Program audio seriesThe Deca Tapes, an 8-part mystery podcastSoft VoiceThe following Black Mirror episodes:“The Entire History of You”“Be Right Back”“White Christmas”“Hang the DJ”“Nosedive”“San Junipero”“15 Million Merits”TV shows: Russian Doll, Dollhouse, HumansEternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindThe Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa
