Podcasts about Severance

Crazy episode that definitely takes at least two viewings to really get it (all the black and white scenes are earlier, and color later). Coming right on the heals of the season five finale, this episode felt like a continuation of that season, which made me like it even more than I did the first time around. First Time Again :P  As mentioned on the podcast, Lucy has a busy schedule for the next couple of months, but we don't want to leave you guys hanging, so I (Jason) will be continuing on with the rewatch with guest hosts — happy to welcome longtime listener and “What Is From?” podcaster Alex with me for this one — and Lucy will be back for the big 700 (if not before).

On a related note, Sony is also moving forward with an animated Venom film, tapping Final Destination: Bloodlines directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein to helm the project, with Tom Hardy attached as a producer. No writer or script is in place yet, but a writers room is being assembled at Sony Pictures Animation.

Andrew Lincoln starred in a TV series, and so of course we're gonna talk about it! Thing is, he plays kind of a berk (that's British for chode). Coldwater (available on Paramount+ in the U.S.) is a lot of fun though — it's funny, thought-provoking, and it's a good old-fashioned thriller to sink your teeth into. I wouldn't necessarily give it my highest recommendation, but honestly, that fact that Lucy and I had so much fun talking about it made me like it even more.

To start this week's episode, Cody enthusiastically shares with Joe the details of his most recent book haul, an exciting collection that has him buzzing with anticipation for his reading adventures ahead. Among the treasures he has acquired is Matt Dinniman's newest novel, Operation Bounce House, which promises to deliver an exhilarating blend of action and humor. Cody elaborates on Dinniman's unique storytelling style, which often combines elements of fantasy and adventure, making this latest installment an intriguing addition to his growing library. He also mentions the first book in the series Dungeon Crawler Carl, a title that has garnered much attention and praise for its inventive approach to the dungeon-crawling genre, filled with quirky characters and unexpected plot twists. In addition to these, Cody reveals that he has picked up Dan Brown's latest Robert Langdon novel, The Secret of Secrets. He discusses how Brown's works are renowned for their intricate plots that weave together history, art, and thrilling mysteries, and he expresses his eagerness to dive into this new narrative that promises to challenge Langdon's intellect and adventurous spirit once more. The last book in Cody's haul is Joe Abercrombie's The Devils, a title that has been highly anticipated by fans of Abercrombie's gritty and darkly humorous fantasy novels. Cody reflects on Abercrombie's ability to create morally complex characters and immersive worlds, making this book a must-read for any fantasy aficionado. After sharing his literary finds, the conversation shifts as the guys dive into some juicy entertainment news. The first story they discuss revolves around a potential live-action Marvin the Martian movie, a project that seemed to have great promise but ultimately went nowhere. They speculate on what could have been and the challenges that often accompany adaptations of beloved animated characters into live-action formats. Following this, Joe brings up the exciting news that Mathew Vaughn is rebooting Kick-Ass, along with plans for spin-offs that will exist within a shared universe. They delve into the implications of this move, considering how it could expand the Kick-Ass franchise and attract both new fans and long-time supporters of the original films. Cody then shifts the conversation to Paramount's recent announcements regarding new additions to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. He highlights the company's ambitious plans to create new YouTube shows, develop fresh merchandise, and even launch themed restaurants, all aimed at revitalizing the beloved franchise for a new generation. The guys discuss the cultural impact of the Turtles and how these new initiatives could potentially reignite interest in the characters and their adventures. As the episode progresses, Cody shares that AppleTV has made a significant move by acquiring the intellectual property for their hit TV series Severance. He expresses curiosity about how this acquisition might influence the future of the series and its storytelling possibilities. The conversation flows into a broader discussion about the evolving landscape of television and streaming services, particularly how companies are vying for unique content to attract subscribers. To wrap up the episode, the guys tackle some exciting news about a few new electric vehicles (EVs) that are set to hit the market soon. Among them is Rivian's R2, which promises to bring innovative features and sustainability to the forefront of the automotive industry. They also discuss the rebirth of an American icon—the fully electric Scout—reflecting on the significance of this vehicle in American automotive history and its potential impact on the EV market. The episode concludes with a lively exchange of thoughts on the future of transportation and the growing importance of environmentally friendly options in the automotive landscape.Official Website: https://www.comesnaturallypodcast.comOfficial Merchandise: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/comes-naturally-podcast/iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/kqkgackFacebook: http://tinyurl.com/myovgm8Tumblr: http://tinyurl.com/m7a6mg9Twitter: @ComesNaturalPodYouTube: http://tiny.cc/5snxpy

Hey all, here's a bonus episode for ya. If you're a fan of the Apple TV series Severance — or if you've missing hearing me (Jason) and Karen together — I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Karen in particular is in top form here :)  So what is this? This is the two of us on my other podcast, Wax Episodic, talking Severance S1E1 “Good News About Hell”.  What is Severance? It's a trippy show where for some reason office workers have had their brains bifurcated so that while at work, they retain only work memories, and only outside memories on the outside. It's a mysterious, mind-bending, amusingly strange, beautifully shot, intelligent thriller about identity, memory, and corporate control, and it's on Apple TV, and Karen and I will be covering the entire series on Wax Episodic. If you like this episode: Please head on over and subscribe to Wax Episodic, which you can find at waxepisodic.com.  Or just search “Wax Episodic” wherever you get your podcasts.  Our coverage of episode 2 will be out in a couple days.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesPrime Video unveiled the first trailer for Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage in his first leading TV role as Ben Reilly—a name change from the Peter Parker version he voiced in Into the Spider-Verse—a down-on-his-luck 1930s New York private investigator forced to reckon with his past as the city's only superhero. The trailer also teased multiple villains and concluded with the tagline With No Power Comes No Responsibility. The eight-episode series is set to launch May 27 as a full binge release with each episode available in both black-and-white and color versions.Lucasfilm dropped the first full trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu Tuesday morning, setting up Star Wars' return to theaters after seven years with Din Djarin and Grogu enlisted by the New Republic to combat scattered Imperial warlords. The May 22 release directed by Jon Favreau and co-written with newly promoted Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni features Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver as former Rebel pilot Colonel Ward, and Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotta the Hutt, with footage showcasing Coruscant, Hoth, gladiator fights, and action sequences far bigger than the Disney+ series. Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights capitalized on Valentine's Day weekend with $83M globally ($37.5M domestic, $45.5M international), marking Warner Bros' ninth consecutive number one opening. Sony's GOAT overperformed with $35.1M domestic; the best opening for an original animated film since Pixar's Element, while Amazon MGM's Crime 101 stumbled with just $16.3M domestic against its $90M budget. The romantic drama skewed heavily female with 76% of audiences and represents record openings for both Fennell and Jacob Elordi, though the holiday boost may be short-lived as GOAT already beat it on both Sunday and Monday.Jason Momoa will star in Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' film adaptation of Helldivers, directed by Justin Lin, set to hit theaters on November 10, 2027. The film is based on the popular video game franchise in which an elite unit of soldiers called Helldivers battle alien creatures threatening the fictional planet of Super Earth, with Helldivers 2 having sold more than 12 million units in its first four months after its 2024 launch.Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Behaviour Interactive have tapped David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick and Alexandre Aja to write the feature film adaptation of the horror video game Dead by Daylight. Aja will not direct the film as he is committed to directing Under Paris 2 for Netflix, so the companies are beginning the search for a director, with James Wan, Jason Blum, and Stephen Mulrooney serving as producers.James Van Der Beek, the actor best known for playing Dawson Leery on the hit teen drama Dawson's Creek, died on February 11, 2026, at age 48 after battling Stage 3 colorectal cancer. Van Der Beek was diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and made his diagnosis public in November 2024, with his family confirming he passed peacefully and met his final days with courage, faith, and grace.Apple has acquired the IP and all rights to Severance from producer Fifth Season in a deal worth just under $70 million, with Apple Studios now producing future seasons in-house while Fifth Season remains as an executive producer. The series has been renewed for Season 3 with a fourth season considered a lock, and showrunner Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller are open to expanding the franchise with prequels, spinoffs, and foreign versions to keep fans engaged during gaps between seasons.Lionsgate and Saber Interactive have announced a AAA John Wick video game in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role providing the character's look, voice, and involvement in production alongside franchise director Chad Stahelski.

Squeaks, Frank, Jon and Thomas cover a packed episode that jumps from dream low-stakes spin-off ideas (God of War politics, Fallout slice-of-life, and cozy Shire chaos) into real-world hype around the Spider-Noir trailer and how Nicolas Cage changes the whole vibe in the best way. From there, the crew breaks down standout PlayStation State of Play reveals, including what they want from a God of War trilogy remake, why Game Freak's new project has people paying attention again, and which upcoming titles actually look worth the time. Then the conversation shifts into a big streaming debate: weekly releases vs binge drops vs the hybrid "first 2–3 episodes, then weekly" model. They dig into what works for mystery box shows like WandaVision and Severance, what falls apart when the writing doesn't match the release strategy, and why some series thrive when fans have time to theory-craft between episodes. The episode wraps with network updates and weekly recommendations, including a Cyclops comic shoutout and a heartfelt nod to Stevie's retirement from Good Mythical Morning after 13 years. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and crew check-in (Squeaks, Frank, John, plus a Thomas cameo) 00:00:35 Icebreaker: what massive franchise needs a low-stakes spin-off? 00:00:58 God of War spin-off pitch: Olympus politics, Spartan POV, and "collateral damage" storytelling 00:02:11 Frank's pitch: a Stardew Valley-style Fallout town rebuilding above ground 00:02:43 Jon's pitch: a cozy "life in the Shire" Lord of the Rings series 00:03:48 Thomas's pitch: smaller-scale Jurassic Park stories from a visitor or staff POV 00:05:06 Listener ideas from social: Zootopia case-of-the-week, Han Solo pulp vibes, law-and-order sketch artists 00:05:48 Spider-Noir trailer reactions: tone, action, investigation, and why Cage works 00:07:26 Prime Video adaptation trust: Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, and what Spider-Noir might get right 00:08:17 Rings of Power tangent: why "faithful" is complicated when rights are limited 00:09:02 Is Spider-Noir the Spider-Verse version or a variant? The crew debates 00:10:16 What fans actually want: more detective noir or more superhero chaos? 00:12:20 PlayStation State of Play recap begins: overall reactions and standout reveals 00:13:24 God of War trilogy remake talk and why "remake" matters more than "remaster" 00:13:56 Game Freak frustration, Pokémon burnout, and why a new IP could reset expectations 00:14:47 Classic vibes: the pull of 2D action and Castlevania-style nostalgia 00:15:52 Kena: Bridge of Spirits sequel excitement and "30-minute gaming" for busy adults 00:17:02 Star Wars Galactic Racers and the return of pod-racing energy 00:17:24 Project Wilderness: rooster warriors, Korean fantasy roots, and "The Bird That Drinks Tears" curiosity 00:21:13 Ride-or-die studios: Rockstar, Blizzard talk, and Saber's trust factor 00:21:31 John Wick game discussion: expectations, violence, and the question of gameplay style 00:23:40 Severance and Apple ownership: what expansion could look like without killing the mystery 00:26:59 The goats, the branches, and why answers can end the show 00:28:04 Spin-off pitch: military uses of severance tech and the darker implications 00:29:51 Helldivers movie with Jason Momoa: comedy vs serious tone, and how to make it work 00:33:02 Main topic: weekly episodes vs binging vs hybrid release models 00:36:22 Why weekly wins for theorizing, community talk, and "watercooler" moments 00:39:36 The hybrid model: dropping 2–3 episodes first, then weekly 00:41:09 Binge model strengths: completion, momentum, and not forgetting the show exists 00:48:05 Which genres fit which release style? Mystery box, character drama, sitcoms, and action 00:57:19 Network updates: upcoming shows, format shifts, and what's next across the Geek Freaks Network 00:58:19 Recommendations: Cyclops comic spotlight and Stevie's Good Mythical Morning retirement tribute Key Takeaways Big franchises can feel fresh again with smaller stories that focus on everyday life, side characters, and worldbuilding instead of saving the universe. Spider-Noir looks like it's leaning into style and personality, and Nicolas Cage makes it feel like its own thing instead of "another Spider-Man." Prime Video's track record with adaptations is earning trust, even when the company itself is a mixed bag for fans. State of Play talk lands on a simple truth: remakes need to feel rebuilt, not just polished. Game Freak has goodwill to win back, and a new IP might be their best shot to prove they can still deliver quality. Release models matter because writing matters. A weekly show needs episodes that stand on their own, not just pieces of a long movie. Weekly releases fuel theorizing, discussion, and community engagement. Binge releases maximize momentum and completion. The "2–3 episode premiere, then weekly" approach can be the sweet spot when it's planned from the start. Memorable Quotes "I want a Stardew Valley set in the Fallout universe." "Nicolas Cage is not a Spider-Man… Spider-Man is being made into a Nicolas Cage character." "It's not a remaster. It's a remake." "Once we find out what's up with the goats, the show's over." "That's a watercooler moment because everybody was like, wait, what happened?"

En este episodio analizamos con preocupación el informe que apunta a un nuevo retraso importante en el lanzamiento de la próxima generación de Siri. Debatimos sobre cómo estas funciones clave, que incluirían mayor contexto personal, podrían no llegar hasta bien entrado 2026 o incluso integrarse ya en iOS 27, lo que deja a Apple en una posición difícil frente a los avances de la competencia.Reflexionamos sobre los problemas internos de arquitectura que parecen estar frenando el desarrollo y el impacto negativo que esta noticia ha tenido en la valoración bursátil de la compañía.Repasamos también las cifras de adopción de iOS 26, que muestran una buena salud del ecosistema, y comentamos el sorprendente repunte de ventas del iPhone en un mercado chino en decrecimiento. Además, explicamos el reciente parcheo de una vulnerabilidad crítica de seguridad que llevaba años presente en el sistema operativo y dedicamos un espacio a opinar sobre el diseño del nuevo Ferrari eléctrico, obra del estudio de Jony Ive, contrastando su enfoque estético con los productos de Apple.Por último, celebramos la llegada oficial de la aplicación de YouTube a las Vision Pro y nos adentramos en las novedades de Apple TV+, destacando la confirmación de una secuela para la película de Fórmula 1 y la adquisición total de los derechos de producción de la serie Severance.Cerramos la conversación especulando sobre los inminentes lanzamientos de hardware desde el posible iPhone 17e hasta los curiosos rumores sobre unos AirPods equipados con cámaras infrarrojas.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.The folder hits the table, the clock starts ticking, and your mind races. We've all heard “It's standard” and “We can't change this,” but that script is designed to rush you into signing away real leverage. We break down the severance playbook with five concrete moves that turn a shock into a strategy: challenge the first offer, value your signature as a release of claims, negotiate the full package beyond base pay, control your exit narrative and references, and use the attorney review window to slow things down and win better terms.We get practical about why severance exists in the first place—closure and reduced legal risk—and how that fact helps you ask for more weeks of pay, employer-paid COBRA, accelerated vesting or option extensions, and even the right to keep your laptop. You'll hear language to secure a neutral reference policy or an agreed statement for future employers, and why that single clause can matter more than extra cash. We also talk tactics: anchoring high without burning bridges, trading across issues when salary is tight but benefits are flexible, and documenting a credible narrative if you have potential claims like age discrimination or retaliation.Most people sign too fast. We show you how to press pause with the attorney review card, script your asks, and summarize changes in writing so nothing slips through. The goal is a clean runway to your next role, on better financial and reputational terms. If you were a high performer or part of a messy layoff, your leverage is real—use it. Subscribe for more straight talk on employee rights, share this with a friend facing a layoff, and leave a review to tell us the one clause you'd fight for first.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.The moment the axe falls is disorienting: a manager reads a script, a number sits on a page, and your mind races to rent, kids, and health insurance. We slow that moment down and turn panic into a plan, showing how to price your signature, protect your benefits, and negotiate a severance that reflects market reality, not just a corporate formula.We start by killing the biggest myth—there's no law that guarantees a set severance—and reset the baseline. From there, we map a practical playbook: calculate your burn rate, match it to realistic job-search timelines by level, and build a calm, data-backed counter. Then we dig into the hidden buckets companies hope you ignore: prorated annual bonuses when you've worked most of the year, unpaid commissions sitting in pipeline, and time-based equity that's weeks from vesting. You'll hear how to request accelerated vesting, how to document commissions, and how to turn “must be employed on payout date” clauses into fair prorations.Healthcare is its own minefield. We explain why COBRA reimbursements often become taxable income and how to ask the employer to pay premiums directly to the carrier during the severance period, extending coverage past month-end so you don't get caught mid-appointment or mid-prescription. Finally, we talk about the real value on the table: your release of claims. If there are signs of discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblower issues, the math shifts from weeks of pay to risk mitigation for the company, and the number can climb dramatically with the right legal guidance.By the end, you'll have a checklist to compare their first offer to your true needs—runway months, prorated bonus, commissions, equity at risk, and healthcare costs—and a script to deliver your counter without heat or apology. If this helped you reframe your exit, subscribe, share it with a colleague who needs it today, and leave a quick review telling us the one negotiable you're asking for first.

In this quick Geek Freaks Headlines update, we break down reports that Apple has acquired the rights to Severance from Fifth Season, seemingly to keep the show's future stable as costs balloon. We talk about the reported price tag for Season 2, what that could mean for potential future seasons, and why this move feels similar to how Apple handled Silo. We also touch on the chatter around prequels and spinoffs and why a “how this whole severance procedure started” story could actually rule.00:00 Apple reportedly buys the rights and why this matters00:15 The “too expensive” problem and the Season 2 cost talk00:30 What the reporting suggests about multiple seasons, prequels, and spinoffs00:43 The Silo comparison and the production-location chatter (New York vs Canada)00:55 Fifth Season's other projects and final thoughtsThe big headline is Apple reportedly acquiring the rights from Fifth Season, which could remove a major roadblock tied to rising production costs.Season 2's reported budget number is a reminder that prestige TV is now competing with blockbuster-level spending.Even with rights secured, more seasons are not automatically guaranteed, but the reporting points to bigger long-term ambitions.The Silo comparison suggests Apple is comfortable investing more heavily when it fully controls the property.If spinoffs happen, a prequel focused on the origin of the “switching” concept feels like the most naturally compelling direction.“Season two apparently cost $20 million per episode.”“They can handle the show better and expand it into the future.”“I'd really like a prequel that kind of explores who came up with the idea of this switching personality thing.”If you enjoyed the update, make sure you're subscribed to Geek Freaks Headlines.

Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic — Who are you?  I'm sorry, we got ahead of ourselves. Hi there, you listening to the podcast. Welcome to our long-asked-for coverage of… Severance! There's so much to dig into with this show, with all it's mysteries, satirical commentary, wry humor, gorgeous-yet-mundane aesthetics, fun characters with world-class actors playing them, and more. We (Jason and Karen) or 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. Next up on Severance: S1E2 “Half Loop”. Let us know your thoughts! You can email or send a voice message to waffleparty@podcastica.com. Or join our Discord where you can leave comments and chat with hosts and other listeners: https://discord.gg/6WUMt3m3qe  Or check out our Podcastica Facebook group, where we put up comment posts for each episode, at facebook.com/groups/podcastica. Other Wax Episodic shows: We cover these other intelligent, engaging, oftentimes delightfully twisted shows: Fallout (Amazon): A crazy retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic melange of wholesomeness and depravity. One of the best looking shows on TV, funny as hell, violent AF (but in a cartoony way), and with a great cast, including Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones). Not to be missed! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Kasi. Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It's sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy. Come join our Discord and chat with hosts and other listeners:  Don't know what Discord is?

We kick things off in FOLLOW UP with the ongoing "nuclear war" between Automattic and WP Engine, where discovery has revealed Matt Mullenweg's alleged hit list of competitors and a desperate attempt to bully payment processors—because nothing says "open source" like an eight-percent royalty shakedown. Meanwhile, the Harvard Business Review confirmed what we already knew: AI isn't reducing our work; it's just compressing it until we're all working through lunch and burning out faster while Polymarket turns our collective brain rot into a literal "attention market" where you can bet on Elon's mindshare.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Elon has officially pivoted SpaceX from Mars to the Moon, presumably because building a "self-growing lunar city" is easier than admitting the Red Planet is hard, though his xAI all-hands rant about "ancient alien catapults" suggests he's been staring at the sun too long. Between X allegedly taking blue-check lunch money from sanctioned Iranian leaders, Meta facing trials for creating "predator-friendly hunting grounds," and Russia finally pulling the plug on WhatsApp, the internet is looking more like a digital dumpster fire than ever. Add in Discord leaking 70,000 government IDs, OpenAI shoving ads into ChatGPT while safety researchers flee the building like it's on fire, and a "cognitive debt" crisis eroding our ability to think, and you've got a recipe for a tech-induced psychosis that even crypto-funded human trafficking can't outpace.In MEDIA CANDY, we're wondering about the soft-core porn intro in the latest Star Trek: Starfleet Academy while Apple buys the total rights to Severance for seventy million dollars—because in-house production is the only way to keep those ballooning budgets under control. Super Bowl trailer season gave us a glimpse of The Mandalorian and Grogu and a Project Hail Mary teaser, while Babylon 5 has finally landed on YouTube for free, proving that even 90s serialized sci-fi eventually finds its way to the clearance bin.Over in APPS & DOODADS, Meta Quest is nagging us for our birthdays like a needy relative, while Roblox had to scrub a mass-shooting simulator—because "AI plus human safety teams" is apparently just code for "we missed it until it hit the forums." Ring's Super Bowl ad for "Search Party" accidentally terrified everyone by revealing a mass surveillance network for pets that's a slippery slope toward a police state, and Waymo is now paying DoorDashers ten bucks just to walk over and close the car doors that autonomous tech still can't figure out.Wrapping up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we dive into the Mandalorian Hasbro reveal where Sigourney Weaver's action figure comes with no accessories because her existence is enough of a flex. We explore the grim reality of "RentAHuman," where humans are paid pittance to pretend AI agents are actually doing work, and look at "Trash Talk Audio," which sells a $125 microphone made out of a literal old telephone for that authentic Gen-X "get off the line, I'm expecting a call" aesthetic. From Marcia Lucas finally venting about the prequels and a rare book catalog specifically for our aging generation, we're reminded that while the future is a chaotic mess of "GeoSpy" AI and corporate reshuffling at Disney, at least we still have our cynical memories and some free versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon to keep us from losing it completely.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

The Substance (Fargeat 2024) The Substance is the second film from Fargeat that we have discussed on our podcast. With both this film and Revenge (2017) we were overall very impressed, with The Substance being a big step up especially in terms of style and production design. We are very excited to continue to follow her career. The film addresses topics of gender, aging, and the Hollywood expectations for appearance. The intention is clearly an indictment of specifically Hollywood's perpetual demand for young women with speciifc appearances. While we largely agree that the film does implicate and comment critically on this, we have concerns about if the film also contributes or adheres to these expectations just as it admonishes them. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Reposted from Yellowjackets wtf?, which you can find and subscribe to at: yellowjacketswtf.com — Yellowjackets season 4 is still probably at least a year away, but we think the movie Send Help, in theaters now, is a great temporary fix. It's about a supremely skilled woman who gets overlooked and mistreated by her douchebag of a boss, and then after a plane crash they get stranded on an island where the tables are turned. If you haven't seen the movie yet, we totally recommend it - it's wild, and fun, and pretty gruesome, much like a certain show we all love. Join Wendy, Jason, and special guest Karen as we talk it out! Mentioned: Jason's other podcast, Wax Episodic, where we talk about Severance, Pluribus, Fallout, Welcome to Derry, and Alien: Earth: podcastica.com/podcasts/wax-episodic  Lord of the Flies BBC series trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=3Q9SQ7hTMdg  Defined Lines (Blurred Lines parody): youtube.com/watch?v=tC1XtnLRLPM  Next up: We'll be back with another episode at some point, probably either on the BBC Lord of the Flies series, or Yellowjackets S4E1(!).

Reposted from Wax Episodic, which you can find at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/wax-episodic — Okie dokey, that's it for Fallout season 2! We thought it was a great season finale, packed to the rads with answers (the Enclave is behind it all, and the President is one of them), more questions (have Hank and Steph been a thing for 200 years or what?), and as f$%ked up and funny as ever.  Thanks from all three of us to everyone for joining us for this series! What a freaking blast it is, right? It was so much fun to cover, and we especially appreciate those of you who wrote and called in (but we love all of ya).  I (Jason) hope you guys all stick around as Karen and I start with Apple TV's Severance next week. We're going back to the beginning and the plan is to cover the whole series, episode-by-episode, spoiler free. What is Severance, you ask? It's a trippy workplace sci-fi thriller where employees surgically split their work and personal memories, creating two separate versions of themselves. It starts as a clever corporate experiment and develops into an unsettling mystery about identity, control, and rebellion. Smart, stylish, funny, and quietly disturbing, with an incredible cast — Adam Scott, Zach Cherry (!), Britt Lower, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette. Hosted by Jason and Karen. And if you're looking for something else to dig into, highly recommend checking out any of the other shows this podcast covers. They are… Pluribus (Apple TV): Everyone is transformed into a pleasant hive mind — except for Carol (Rhea Seehorn), the most miserable woman on the planet, who must save the world from happiness. It's sounds weird, and it is… in the best way. Created by the great Vince Gilligan, of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Hosted by Jason and Karen! IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO): A fun, scary, and surprisingly great prequel to the 2016 and 2019 IT movies, Pennywise stalks the children of 1962 Derry. A mix of heart, mystery, charm, and some shockingly disturbing Nightmare on Elme Street-esque horror. Cohosted by Shawn of Strange Indeed. Alien: Earth (FX): From the brilliant Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion), this one really scratches that sci-fi itch. A greedy corporate tech overlord transfers the consciousness of a group of terminally ill children into highly performant synth bodies. And the Xenomorph is in it, too. Also, Tim Olyphant! Hosted by Jason, Kara, and Randy. Come join our Discord and chat with hosts and other listeners:  Don't know what Discord is? It's kind of like a chat forum, our own little private Podcastica space to talk about Fallout, Welcome to Derry, Alien: Earth, other shows, and whatever else we want. It's free, and it's fun.

A bit of chaos on the show for the weekend. We start with one guest and end with two. And there's a dude with an alligator's head running amok!   Mama Came Callin' is the slasher/cryptid/mystery/noir graphic novel written by Ezra Claytan Daniel and illustrated by Camilla Sucre. It's set in the swamps of Florida, amongst murky waters and dirtier histories.   The three of us (eventually) talk about the horrendous racist truth underpinning the story, we discuss how two creatives can bring their distinctive skills to a singular vision. We hear about the joy and hustle of a multidisciplinary career, and Ezra gives us some insight into the writing room for the TV show Severance.   Enjoy   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

THIS IS THE 'SEVERED: ORIGINS' BREAKDOWN OF 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE' - PT01Well, actually it's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman wanted it to be even longer than that. His original title was 18 words! But, we'll get into that and a whole lot more. This is the 'Severed: Origins' series breaking down those things Dan Erickson has mentioned as being inspiration during his creation of 'Severance.' This ORIGINS entry is a trippy 2004 title from French Director Michel Gondry. Both Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller list it as an inspiration. It stars Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey. This is considered one of the best things Jim Carrey has ever done.Get ready for Part ONE of this enormous movie breakdown.*******Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed." Make sure to check out 'The Severance Podcast w/Ben Stiller & Adam Scott" wherever you found this one!A big 'thank you' to friend of the pod Kier Eagan, er I mean Marc Geller!
