Waffle Party | A Severance Podcast
by Podcastica
Hello, and welcome to this podcast listening experience. We're Jason and Karen, your designated narrative explicators. Please try to enjoy each insight, quip, and speculative comment equally. But seriously, Severance is such a masterpiece of a show, with all its mysteries, layers of satirical commentary, wry humor, gorgeous-yet-mundane aesthetics, fun characters (played by world-class actors), and so much more. Lots to dig in to! We're so glad you decided to join us for this one. Whether you’re already a fan or it’s your first time through, we just bet it'll make you feel right as rain. You can join in and be a part of the discussion! Write to us or send a voice message to [email protected] and we’ll respond on the podcast. Waffle Party is a part of Podcastica, where we’ve been doing episode-by-episode deep dives into amazing TV shows for well over a decade now. Check out our other fare at <a href="http:

Severance S2E10 "Cold Harbor"
The season really went out in grand fashion, with Innie and Outie Mark in a fierce argument with one another, a boisterous in-office marching band celebrating Mark’s completion of the Cold Harbor file, and a climactic battle between Drummond, Lorne of Mammalian’s Nurturable, and Mark, among other...

Severance S2E9 "The After Hours"
So much heartbreak in this episode, between Gretchen breaking things off with Innie Dylan, Burt and Irving separating, Mark suffering and frustrated, and we even felt bad for Helena being oppressed by her father and Milchick being humiliated by Drummond (devour feculence, Drummond!). Lots to talk...

Severance S2E8 "Sweet Vitriol"
Of course as we suspected, viewing this episode through our analytical podcaster’s lens we found a lot to dig into and appreciate about this episode and it’s implications for Harmony Cobel’s character, the series in general, and what it says about the real world. Still wasn’t our favorite though....

Severance S2E7 "Chikhai Bardo"
What a surprising, beautiful, romantic, tragic, f#$ked up episode this week. We found it especially impactful seeing (and feeling) Mark and Gemma’s relationship and life together come alive onscreen, and then so sad to see it destroyed by Lumon. Next up on Severance: S2E8 “Sweet Vitriol”. Let us...

Severance S2E6 "Attila"

Severance S2E5 "Trojan's Horse"
An angsty episode this week as the Innies have a funeral for Irving and wrestle with the complications of recent events, and Milchick suffers the indignity of the dreaded performance review. Next up on Severance: S2E6 “Attila”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to...

Severance S2E4 "Woe's Hollow"
Interesting how with just a simple change of scenery, all the weirdness of this show just kind of disappears. Just kidding, MDR’s excursion to the wintery and bleakly beautiful Woe’s Hollow was weird as fuck, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We’re delighted to be joined this episode by...

Severance S2E3 "Who Is Alive?"
An odd, lovable episode this week, with a lot of small movement on various fronts. I mean, I suppose you could describe like 75% of all Severance episodes that way…. This one had goats in it, which does narrow it down. Some. Next up on Severance: The season two premiere, S2E4 “Woe’s Hollow”. Let…

Severance S2E2 "Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig"
Is it weird that when we get an episode exclusively set in the outside world that we miss the office? Well, we did find a ton to love about this one too, because this show is always mysterious, funny, beautiful, and thought provoking, among other things. Mentioned: Sesame Street: Bert Dances To...

Severance S2E1 "Hello, Ms. Cobel"
A propulsive (and yet regressive?) first episode of the season, bringing up new questions and feeling like things have been frustratingly papered over in that way that only mega-corporations can do. And yet, we can’t wait for more :) Mentioned: Ben Stiller & Adam Scott Break Down 'Severance'…

Severance S1E8 "What's for Dinner?"
The quarter is over, the quotas have all been met, and the innies are making a metaphorical break for it. This week Karen is joined by special guest Lucy for a discussion of all that and also the ethics of parties involving waffles. Next up on Severance: The season one finale, S1E9 “The We We…

Severance S1E7 "Defiant Jazz"
The innies have HAD IT this week, and we don’t blame them. Also, Milchick has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad (and well deserved) day. The smug motherf#$%r. Mentioned: Michael Chernus (Ricken) on Ricken’s childhood and upbringing:...

Severance S1E6 "Hide and Seek"
Ooh, some open defiance on the Severed Floor this week. Can you imagine actually asking your boss what you do? Just kidding, but we’re glad things are kicking into a higher gear! Mentioned: Severance stickers (and other art) by listener Marci Brinker: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtByMarciBrinker...

Severance S1E5 "The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design"
The Severed workers are finally starting to question Lumon and show a little bit of that defiant, rebellious spirit, in part because of (of all things) Dr. Ricken Lazlo Hale's The You You Are. Maybe that guy’s actually onto something…. Next up on Severance: S1E6 “Hide and Seek”. Let us know your...

Severance S1E4 "The You You Are"
