Taking It Down

Real or Simulated: 'Severance' and Its Fourth Episode


Listen Later

This week, it's a quick look at 'American Primeval' on Netflix and a close look into the fourth episode of Apple TV's 'Severance.'

To begin, Blaine gives some non-spoiler thoughts on the first three episodes of the Netflix Western 'American Primeval' and how it overcome an early issue (0:28). Then with Adam and Donovan, the three discuss what's on TV soon with 'The White Lotus' from HBO (6:01). Still keeping with non-spoilers, the hosts talk about what 'Severance' does right this season (8:12). In the spoiler section, it's a discussion of reality and simulation -- and a lot more -- with 'Severance' through its first four episodes (12:15). I mean, who knew a discussion about severed consciousness could lead into Freud’s theories on the uncanny? Yep, we’re going there!
