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 Starts 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 Plus 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 Shepard. 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.

everywhere you get your podcasts. Okay, here's some more from my friends Ben and Adam. Hey, I'm Ben Stiller. And I'm Adam Scott. And we make a TV show called Severance. On January 17th, Severance is back for season two on Apple TV+. 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? It's been like almost three years. That's a while for a TV show. I mean, it's like three quarters of high school. Wow. That's how long it's been. So to get ready for season two, I feel like people might want to re-watch the first season.

Yeah, you want to get reacquainted with it. But guess what, Adam? What, Ben? I'm thinking that everybody won't have to re-watch it alone. 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. 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. 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. The legendary John Turturro.

You know, you can just touch his hand and it's like electric. Brit Lauer. I think 80% of my dialogue in season one is questions, like, what the hell is going on here? Like, what is this? And Zach Cherry. I do think that is such a big part of Dylan's character, his stories he tells himself about

what the outside world is like, and many more. And here's the best part. After that, we're going to keep going. Tune in weekly beginning January 17th as we recap every episode of season two. The podcast drops right after each episode airs. It's the Severance Podcast with Ben and Adam. Find it January 7th.

On Apple Podcasts, the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts. I get my podcasts on my phone. Yeah, me too. Where else would you get your podcasts? Like your computer or... Oh. iPad? iPad, right, exactly.
