Severance Peaks

We're already five episodes in to Season 1 of Severance and we're switching things up! Keeping things even more loosey goosey, we're moving to a free form discussion format, rather than discussing it scene by scene. We attempt to unpack the tension filled elevator scene with Helly, Rickon’s outlandish philosophies and once again, questionable security at Lumon. Dave also introduces his new game segment, Maybe So or Baby No, where the gang guesses if bizarre historical birthing practices are true or false. And don't worry, we're not gonna talk about Judd. ⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠

In this sode that's full of totes emotions, we dive deep into each scene from "The You You Are" including Helly's unsetlling exhaustion inside the break room and the torturous elements that make it so unforgettable. Dave brings another round of Weird Bathroom Experiences (and yes, maps are involved!) while Jasmin talks extra goosey to us. Plus, Patrick has beef with Lumon's surprisingly lax security, while Mells speculates on the mysterious camping box. ⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠

In this wild episode, chaos reigns as our resident "Death Mask Expert" Dave J. fills the airwaves with multiple new segments all while we learn about his long list of past jobs. Don't worry, we also talk about the third episode of Severance where Helly’s relentless escape attempts and Petey’s cryptic reintegration spiral keep everyone on edge. We dive into the perpetuity wing’s unsettling statues, speculate on hidden departments (murder, anyone?) all while Mells keeps a close eye on those clocks. ⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠

Outies, welcome! We're agog at how well we can tell you're already fitting in. Now, let's get this party started. But with Patrick out of office this week, Dave, Jasmin, Mells and Tyler will explore the intricate details of "Half Loop." This episode highlights just how much control Lumon exerts over its employees—both mentally and physically—with a closer look at the Helly's break room experience and Irving’s wellness check. We'll break down the hilarious intricacies of Dylan’s obsession with rewards, while marveling at the hauntingly surreal (and gooey!) title sequence. We explore the meaning behind the episode’s title, dive into Helly’s journey, and get into the unsettling brain-implant procedure that had everyone squirming. We'll examine the absurdity of Lumon’s day-to-day task list—complete with sweeping floors, refilling soap dispensers, and, of course, checking keyboards for weak keys. ⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠
