ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW THIS WEEK, REFINER!! No 'Severance' production person is safe! Vinny P. is tracking them down and locking them into interview slots for the show. This week we talked to a legendary figure in the world of 'Severance' props and set dec. We've got "Penko the Sculptor"!! Penko's last name, Platikanov, is a bit of a mouthful. Rather than say it incorrectly, the folks around the...

A SPECIAL TREAT THIS WEEK, REFINER!! We're having so much fun talking to 'Severance' production people, we're taking another week off from the re-watch to get in a FANTASTIC interview. Kick back and enjoy a really fun discussion with Tansy Michaud from the 'Severance' graphics department. Tanys is the lead designer for 'Severance.' She's been doing this since before there were any Lumon hallways....

A SPECIAL TREAT THIS WEEK, REFINER!! We're taking another little break from the very intense Season Two rewatch to talk to a couple of guys who know a LOT about 'Severance' Sound. Kick back and enjoy an animated discussion with Jacob Ribicoff and Bob Chefalas from the 'Severance' Sound Crew. Both of these guys are currently nominated for Emmys for their work on Severance. They know what they're ta...

WELCOME BACK, REFINER...READY FOR MORE 'PROP-TALK'?? It's time for Part 2 of our epic discussion with 'Severance' prop master Catherine "Cat" Miller. Cat was kind enough to sit down with us for a LONG time to talk about all things 'Severance' props! There were some GREAT details. We heard our first hour last time. This time out we've got another full hour! Be listening for: "This pen is too...clic...

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THIS EPISODE, REFINER!! Thanks to the hard work of Volunteer Researcher Vinny P (who is bucking for a promotion to Volunteer Producer) we were able to talk to 'Severance' Property Master Catherine "Cat" Miller. Catherine and her crew are responsible for everything a performer picks up, sits on, walks around...if it's 'stuff', it's a prop!  She has some fascinating s...

IT'S FINALE TIME, REFINER!! Strap yourself in! Mark is meeting with Cobel, Devon and...Mark. You heard me. We've got a fantastic 75 minutes in store this week. Some revelations, a lot of action, a few heartbreaking moments and, of course, goats. The sacred mission of the Goats is revealed!! We also discover how the goats are used in service to Kier. Oh, and speaking of Kier, he and Seth Milchick d...

IT'S AN END OF SEASON SURPRISE!! Hey, Refiner! I know you're bummed because the season is over...so am I. What will lift your funk? How about a quick discussion with Kier Eagan himself, Mr. Marc Geller! Marc was kind enough to give the "Severed" podcast a few minutes of his precious time. With Refiners completing their 25th file, he has been pretty busy lately. We'll hear about his recitation of t...

HEY, REFINER! WE'RE BACK IN KIER!! It was a long drive, but the action is back in Kier this week. And talk about action! Stuff is happening EVERYWHERE! Mark still hasn't made it into work. Basement brain surgery will do that to you.  Helena is having eggs for breakfast as creepy ol' Daddy Jame watches. Later, Daddy Jame makes a visit to the severed floor that has me creeped out. Helly is raising h...

READY FOR A ROADTRIP, REFINER?! Harmony Cobel is headed home, and we're going with her. She's taking a long run up the coast to the little harbor town of Salt's Neck. It's where Harmony grew up and Lumon used to own a huge Ether Mill. The Ether Mill is long gone. With it went most of the residents. The ones who remain are dirt poor and addicted to ether. Celestine "Sissy" Cobel lives out on the po...

GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK, REFINER! Wow, is there a treat for you this week! This might even be better than the melon bar. It's an all new episode directed by an all new director. Jessica Lee Gagne is the stellar Director of Photography for all of Season One and Season Two so far. This week, she's taking the big chair and calling the shots as Director. Spoiler alert: She does an AMAZING job! We've got...

WELCOME BACK, REFINER! Hey, hope you brought the wine! I'm kidding! Welcome to the Valentine's episode of 'Severance'...a week late. Mark and Helly, and that's real life Helly R., are getting busy in another department. She wanted her 'own' memory. Mark S. was more than happy to make that happen. Dylan and Gretchen are 'enjoying the hugging' in the Family Visitor Center. These visits with Dylan's...

WE'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON, REFINER! Back again? So glad to have you! This week everyone is dealing with the fallout from the ORTBO. No more innie-Irv, and no WAY Helena Eagan is going back down there. She has a few choice words for those innies. It's not Helena Mark S. wants anyway, he wants his Helly R. back! We haven't seen her since the end of Season One. Helly R. returns to the severed...

WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPICAP. THIS ONE IS HUGE! Back again? So glad to have you! This week, the MDR crew is headed outside...yes, outside. It's all a part of the 'New' Lumon (Lumon is listening!). The innies said they wanted to go outside...so here they are! Lumon has deposited them in an incredibly snowy and desolate area around a place called "Woe's Hollow." Woe's Hollow holds particular meaning fo...

WELCOME BACK REFINER! (Why are you squinting?) It seems like every episode so far in Season Two has been jam packed. This time around, in "Who is Alive?", we've got departmental reunions, Family Visitations, re-canonical paintings and a whole LOT of Goats! Yes, dear refiner, we return to the goat room...but it's not just the goat room. What we thought was the goat room last year was actually just...

SEASON 2 ROLLS ON WITH THE 'ALL OUTIE' SHOW! Welcome back, Refiner! The fun of Season Two continues with EpiCap number two from "Severed." So, were you curious as to what was going on with our outies during that last episode? Then you're gonna LOVE this episode! We discover the "Uprising" only took place a few days ago. Dylan and Irv were fired initially for being a part of it, but then re-hired a...

TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK, REFINER! It's been far too long since there's been productive output from the Severed Floor. Now that Season Two is underway, the "Severed" Podcast will be doing weekly "EpiCaps" (EPIsode reCAPS...get it?). This is NOT the detailed, shot-by-shot breakdown normally done as a re-watch. The re-watch episodes will be released AFTER the entire season of "Severance." EpiCaps ar...

HEY, REFINER! SORRY TO BOTHER YOU AT HOME... I have a little something we need to discuss. It just couldn't wait until the next time you were back on the Severed Floor. I'll only need you for less time than it takes a four-year-old to count to one thousand. Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed." Make sure to chec...

WELCOME BACK, REFINER! Didn't really expect to see you again until after the holidays. AppleTV+ just couldn't help themselves. They decided to release the first 8 minutes of the first episode of the new season. They did this on December 23rd, so I was a bit occupied at the time. But I'm back to the editor and I've had a chance to break it down! SPOILERS: Milchick's the new manager of the Severed F...

Drop a note to Allen S. right here. (Can't respond...sorry.) WELCOME BACK, REFINER!   There's a new promo! Okay, so maybe not as exciting as the "Official Trailer" but it's good to see more promotion in the pipeline. This is a one-minute attempt to lure in new viewers. Adam Scott, Britt Lower and Ben Stiller all address the camera directly, talking as themselves. It's an interesting way to convert...

WELCOME BACK, REFINER!! HUGE NEWS! On December 7th, 2024, Apple TV + released an incredible 2 and a half minute "Official" Trailer for the new season of 'Severance.' IT'S AWESOME! Can a man talk for an hour about a less than three minute trailer? Easily! Check it out, gang...this is the biggest taste yet of what things are going to be like for Season Two. Based on this, I'd say the new season will...
