  Hi everyone. I'm here in the feed today to tell you about a new show, The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott. Now, I will rarely do a trailer drop like this. I say no to a lot of these, unless it's something that I really think you'll enjoy. And Severance is a corporate psychological thriller show set in the dreadful world of what I would describe as the backrooms. It honestly feels like an episode of Heart Sluts Pounding. It's seriously one of my favorite TV shows of all time. And maybe you already know and love the show starring Adam Scott and directed by Ben Stiller. Well, on January 17th, Severance is back for season two on Apple TV+. And Ben Stiller and Adam Scott are recapping each episode of season one

  every weekday before the season two premiere. After that, they're recapping each episode of season two every Friday. Join Ben and Adam for in-depth analysis, behind-the-scenes stories, and fan questions, all alongside guests like Severance creator Dan Erickson, stars of the show Zach Cherry, John Turturro, and Britt Lauer, and celebrity super fans Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell, and Doc Shepherd. If you're watching Severance, and seriously, I really think you should, you're going to love The Severance Podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.

• 1:25Speaker 01

  Hey, I'm Ben Stiller.

• 1:27Speaker 02

  And I'm Adam Scott.

• 1:28Speaker 01

  And we make a TV show called Severance. On January 17th, Severance is back for season two on Apple TV+.

• 1:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, and we can't wait for you to see it. But the thing is, it has been such a long time. How long has it been, Ben?

• 1:46Speaker 01

  It's been like almost three years.

• 1:48Speaker 02

  That's a while for a TV show.

• 1:50Speaker 01

  I mean, it's like three quarters of high school.

• 1:52Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 1:53Speaker 01

  That's how long it's been.

• 1:54Speaker 02

  So to get ready for season two, I feel like people might want to re-watch the first season.

• 2:01Speaker 01

  Yeah, if you want to get re-acquainted with it. But guess what, Adam?

• 2:04Speaker 02

  What, Ben?

• 2:06Speaker 01

  I'm thinking that everybody won't have to re-watch it alone.

• 2:10Speaker 02

  That's right, because starting on January 7th and dropping every weekday until the premiere, Ben and I are gonna be binging the show right along with everyone else and dropping episode-by-episode recap podcasts.

• 2:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, so that's a new recap every day until the season two premiere. And we're bringing our amazing cast and crew along for the ride. You're gonna hear from creator Dan Erickson.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  I thought if I tell them this, they're gonna think I'm crazy and they're not gonna make the show and they're gonna like call the police.

• 2:39Speaker 01

  The legendary John Turturro.

• 2:40Speaker 04

  You know, you can just touch his hand and it's like electric.

• 2:43Speaker 01

  Britt Lauer.

• 2:44Speaker 05

  I think 80% of my dialogue in season one is questions, like, what the hell is going on here? Like, what is this?

• 2:51Speaker 02

  And Zach Cherry.

• 2:52Speaker 06

  I do think that is such a big part of Dylan's character, is stories he tells himself about what the outside world is like.

• 2:57Speaker 01

  And many more.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  And here's the best part. After that, we're gonna keep going. Tune in weekly, beginning January 17th, as we recap every episode of season two. The podcast drops right after each episode airs.
