Severance Peaks

Dearest ones, we are nearing that hour! Please allow us to peacefully waft into your earholes, as it’s time to discuss the epic events of the Severance season 1 finale.

Much like page 197 of The You You Are, Episode 8 of Severance slaps. It left us with so many questions to conjure strange and mysterious theories around, such as … 

Did Milchick snitch on Cobel and get her fired? Is Irv doing his own experiment, trying to gain inside info on Lumon?  Do the Innies discuss Waffle Parties with each other? How many times has Ms Casey been “rebooted”? Is Harmony an Eagan? And, perhaps most pressingly, does 8-bit Kier tell everyone he loves them, or was that special for Helly? 

We never did find out what’s for dinner, but it’s safe to say this ‘sode gave us lots to chew on!

Episode 7 of Severance Peaks is a rollercoaster of emotions as Patrick, Dave, and Jasmin dive into Severance’s intense seventh episode, “Defiant Jazz.” We waste no time getting into the heart of the Music Dance Experience, reflecting on the dazzling lights, incredible performances and surreal energy of one of the season’s standout scenes.

From bibles to Beowulf, Dave brings connections that leaves everyone in stitches. We also reflect on the emotional weight of Irv and Burt’s relationship, discussing the heartbreaking retirement scene. And of course we talk about that big reveal!

Episode 6 of Severance is jam packed full of mysteries! We dissect Cobel's bizarre cinderblock “prison” room and the Kier shrine that includes hospital bracelets, death masks & Paul Rudd! We explore whether love might transcend severance, how Mark’s bruised knuckles could hint at more than just clumsiness, and the possibility that Alexa isn’t what she seems.

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.

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.

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.

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."

From the creators of Damn Fine TV and Talking Backwards: A Twin Peaks Podcast, comes Severance Peaks, a brand new exploration into the surreal and sinister world of the Apple TV+ series Severance, while weaving in plenty of Twin Peaks connections, theories, and absurd humor along the way.

In this premiere episode, we introduce the mashup concept behind Severance Peaks, which began a few years ago when we launched a mashup meme page on Instagram. While this is mostly a Severance podcast, we all met while covering Twin Peaks, so connections to that show are bound to pop up!

We discuss the unsettling psychological horror elements, the juxtaposition of old and new technology, and just how far we’d be willing to go for the severance procedure ourselves.

With plenty of laughs, sharp observations, and some weird tangents (you wouldn't expect anything less), we're here to explore the eerie intersections between Lumon Industries and the uncanny. Beware: spoilers for both Severance and Twin Peaks are aplenty, so make sure you've clocked in for both shows before diving in with us!
