Severance Peaks

On this week’s ‘sode of Severance Peaks, we’re joined by Marc Geller, the enigmatic Kier Eagan himself. Marc shares behind-the-scenes stories from developing his iconic character, to surprising moments on set—including how one offhand comment at a table read made it into the final script. He also dishes on his favorite fan theories and his love for the incredible fan art the community creates. 

Thanks again to Marc for being here! Check out his Instagram for Severance and other great content: https://www.instagram.com/geller_marc/

In celebration of the historic completion of Mark S.' 25th file, Severance Peaks gathered in person for the first time ever to chat all about Severance, season 2 episode 10, "Cold Harbor." We talked vending machines, marching bands, spilt lineage, the end of the innies, outie Dylan versus outie Mark, and much much more. Plus, just what DID that look from Helly to Gemma mean? And, is Devon a dick now? See you at the Equator, friends and lovers.

Big thanks to Marc Geller (Kier Eagan himself!) for those fabulous intros!

Take a ride with us, friends and lovers, as we chat all about Severance, season 2 episode 9, “The After Hours.” We discuss the Cobel, Mark, and Devon teamup. Dylan’s heartbreak. Burt and Irv’s tragic (and needless?) goodbye. The unsettling implications of a pregnant woman being “one of Jame’s.” Milchick’s incredible clapback. And the irony of Helly (Eagan) R being the last one … stomping … around the Severed floor. Plus, eggs!

Severance, season 2 episode 8, “Sweet Vitriol” was a slightly divisive episode for the gang at Severance Peaks. We all wanted more Co(w)bel, but was this an intriguing and resonant enough way to deliver that? We do all agree that what we learned about Harmony was hugely important, that the cinematography remains beautiful, and that Patricia Arquette’s performance was nothing to throw a water bottle at. It’s also a big week for 8 Watch (sorry Jeff), and Dave cooks up a brand new segment!

Jay, Mells, Pat, and Tyler chat all about Severance, season 2 episode 8, "Sweet Vitriol" on this week's Severance Peaks Live! The gang discusses Cobel's motives, ulterior and otherwise. Are we seeing a redemption arc of sorts for Cobel? Is she fully against the Eagans/Lumon? Might she be the person on the other end of Irv's phone calls? And could this possible team up with Mark and Devon be to her detriment? Plus, we try to do some math, with varying results.

Mark is journeying, as they say, and we are stoked to be along for the mind-bending ride that is Severance, season 2 episode 7, “Chikhai Bardo.” This ‘sode was full of reveals, finally giving us more details on Gemma’s past and present. And yet, with every reveal, more questions were cleverly presented. All of this while keeping us rooted in Mark’s reintegration process, and delivered via one of the most visually stunning hours of television we’ve ever seen. Wow kazow, Severance, wow kazow.

Jay, Mells, and Tyler went live to chat all about Severance, season 2 episode 7, "Chikhai Bardo" on this week's Severance Peaks Live! Look, the bottom line is, we don't know the why of why things are happening in this show, but we sure do love speculating on the possibilities. Like, do the rooms Gemma visits connect to MDR's work? Almost certainly. Why? Who knows?! One thing we DO know? Jessica Lee Gangé directed one hell of a beautiful 'sode!

Here's the article Jay mentioned about the practical effects: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a63936833/severance-episode-7-director-interview/

Come join us in our makeshift plastic fortbo, for a chat about Severance, season 2 episode 6, "Attila." We debate the possibility that Burt is (still) working for Lumon, and what that might mean for Irv. We discuss the very blurry lines of consent when it comes to Innies and Outies and sexual activity. We marvel over REghabi's passion for REintegration. We speculate on the meaning of Wintertide, and much more! Plus, pepper grinders!

Jay, Patrick, and Tyler went live to chat all about Severance, season 2 episode 6, "Attila" on this week's Severance Peaks Live! We question the motives of all involved in the ham dinner throuple, the meaning behind Helena's use of the name "Hanna," and whether or not a pregnancy storyline with Helly is the right direction for the show to take. Plus, we share a ton of great comments and questions from the Live chat our Instagram followers - thanks for your input, friends and lovers!

Eggnog might be out of season, but watching a show and talking about it? That’s always in stock for Severance Peaks. And this week we’re talking all about Severance, season 2 episode 5, “Trojan’s Horse.” We dive into the masterclass in petty corporate gaslighting that was Milchick’s performance review, lament over the lack of love shown to Irv B despite his affections index being so high, we sympathize with Mark S as he navigates the Helly/Helena reveal, and we’re as delighted as Mr Drummond to see what Milchick meant by “tightening the leash” during *that* spicy elevator scene.

Jay and Patrick share their initial thoughts and feelings on Severance, season 2 episode 5, "Trojan's Horse" on this week's Severance Peaks Live!

We chat Kiertans, that spicy elevator scene, Lumon's continued mistreatment of Milchick, Mark's reinteglitches, and Irv and Burt's reunion (ham dinner throuple, anyone?) Plus, Dave stops by for an emergency Bible Corner (kind of.)

No point burying the lead here, friends and lovers, Ben Stiller joins us for this week’s ‘sode of Severance Peaks!

Yep, Fast Eddie himself stops by for a chat about Severance, season 2 episode 4, “Woe’s Hollow.” He shares insights from his time directing this very episode, as well as some overall experiences from making the show. Of course, the conversation eventually leads to Twin Peaks and David Lynch, and Ben even rates the ‘sode for our MMM segment!

Before Ben arrives, we dig into Irv’s eerie dream/vision, the grossness of Helena’s actions, the parallels between Kier’s books and the Ricken word, those powerhouse performances in the final sequence, and finally, we wonder, was the ORTBO manufactured for a purpose? And if so, by whom?

⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠

Doppelgangers, an ominous forest, waterfalls, and a mysterious cave ... Severance got pretty darn Twin Peaks-y in season 2 episode 4, "Woe's Hollow" and we can't wait to share our initial thoughts about it, on this week’s Severance Peaks Live!

You shouldn’t believe everything your computer tells you, but believe this, the goats are not what they seem. And that’s mostly because we have no idea what they even mean, but we’re almost certain there’s a mystery underneath that mystery. Yes, things get pretty wrinkly this week as we discuss the many layers of Severance, in general, but through the lens of season 2 episode 3, “Who is Alive?”

We explore the goat room and the goat people at length, we do our best to tackle the blatant ignorance and mind games of Milchick’s “gift” from Lumon, we note that throuples really are in the zeitgeist, we get fired up about traffic laws, and we, of course, we discuss the REturn of REghabi and the quickness with which we have reached REintegration.

⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: youtube.com/@SeverancePeaks⁠

We've said it before, and we'll say it again, REcycle, REintegrate, REghabi! Much like Kier himself, Patrick flys solo this week to talk about that cliffhanger. We'll save the rest of the GOOds for the proper sode coming at you next week!

If you have any questions, let us know in the comments and we might mention it on the podcast next week.

Let Kier guide your hand right to that play button, dearest friends and lovers, it’s time for another ‘sode of Severance Peaks! This week we’re chatting all about season 2, episode 2, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig.”

We discuss the parallels and divergences between the Innies and Outies, share our ever growing love for Devon, speculate on what Helena’s true intentions might be, and continue to wonder about the mysteries surrounding Gemma’s death - and why her and Mark seem so integral to Lumon’s bigger picture.

Plus, we take some time to break down the amazing new title sequence, and explore some of the potential themes and messages hidden within.
