We’re thrilled to get a chance to talk about our latest obsession, the Apple+ TV show Severance. We talked, in a very non-spoilery way, about why we love the show so much, and then pivoted to heavy spoiler territory to discuss theories and storylines. (Don’t worry if you haven’t seen it; the episode is edited in a way that makes it easy to skip ahead so nothing is spoiled.) After that, we recommend our favorite media (movies, TV, podcasts, books) that remind us of Severance either in vibe, themes, or both.

Our next episode will be an Ask Us Anything so send in your questions to ohilikethatpod@gmail.com.
