So glad to have you back on the Severed Floor, Refiner! This week we are finishing up the file called "The After Hours." We've got a big day planned!

ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW THIS WEEK, REFINER!!
No 'Severance' production person is safe! Vinny P. is tracking them down and locking them into interview slots for the show. This week we talked to a legendary figure in the world of 'Severance' props and set dec. We've got "Penko the Sculptor"!!

Penko's last name, Platikanov, is a bit of a mouthful. Rather than say it incorrectly, the folks around the 'Severance' set have gone to referrin...

ANOTHER BIG HUFF TO FINISH IT OFF, REFINER!!
Welcome back to Salt's Neck for another week of fun and games with Harmony Cobel and her Aunt Sissy. Sissy lives in the shadow of Kier and the old Lumon Ether plant. Neither has made an appearance in this place for forty years or more, but Sissy still holds out hope. 

Harmony is searching for something. She's just sure Sissy didn't sell it to the poor as she claimed. Harmony is also dealin...

WE'RE BACK TO THE RE-WATCH THIS WEEK, REFINER!!
Interviews are fun, and we love talking to the folks who make 'Severance' so incredible, but, we should never forget, this podcast was built on insanely detailed rewatches!! This week we are getting back into the S2 complete 'Severed' Re-watch with PART ONE of "Sweet Vitriol."

We have not heard or seen anything from Harmony Cobel since her very scary parking lot run-in with Helena Eagan...

WELCOME BACK TO THE BARDO, REFINER!
It's one of the most unusual episodes of 'Severance' so far. And we're about to finish digging into every nook and cranny!! Welcome back to the 'Severed' Deep Dive into 'Chikhai Bardo.'

This time we're going to get into some of those ROOMS. What the heck has Mark S. been working on? Oh, a room that's nothing but air turbulence. There's another one that's nothing but 'thank you card' writing. Huh? I...

It's time for Part 2 of our epic discussion with 'Severance' prop master Catherine "Cat" Miller. Cat was kind enough to sit down with us for a LONG time to talk about all things 'Severance' props!

WE'VE GOT SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THIS EPISODE, REFINER!!
Thanks to the hard work of Volunteer Researcher Vinny P (who is bucking for a promotion to Volunteer Producer) we were able to talk to 'Severance' Property Master Catherine "Cat" Miller. Catherine and her crew are responsible for everything a performer picks up, sits on, walks around...if it's 'stuff', it's a prop! 

She has some fascinating stories about the stuff we see every e...

The episode "Chikhai Bardo" blew a lot of people away when it premiered as the 7th episode of the second season. A brand new leader was in the Director's Chair but she was a familiar face to both cast and crew. This is Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagne's first foray into directing. Based on the incredible success of this episode, she'll probably never be a cinematograph...

We've got a funeral to get to for one thing. Irv's funeral, where we are going to meet the "Irv-head" melon. Dylan will be delivering the Eulogy. Ms. Huang is scheduled to provide accompaniment on Theremin.

READY TO GET BACK TO  WORK, REFINER?
It seems like ages since we've been down on the Severed Floor just...refining. This episode is trying to get us back on the refinement track. There will be obstacles, of course, like the gang's on-going suspicion about Helly. She's really Helly! I'm just SURE of it. (Or am I??)

There's going to be a funeral...Lumon Style! Get ready for the Irv-carved melon head. It's a bit of a nightmare cooked up...

Last we left our snowbound innies, they'd just met up with a disgusting dead seal. Irv wanted to eat it, no one else was so inclined.

Now, the innies are about to reach their objective: Woe's Hollow. Here they will enjoy copious 'luxury meats' (?) along with unlimited toasted marshmallows and 4-ply tissue in the 'loo in case anything doesn't agree with them.

Not sure about an 'ORTBO'? Oh, that's not a problem. We've got marshmallows for the fire and seal meat a'plenty! (Is seal a 'luxury meat'?) It's one of the most unique and oddly compelling episodes of the entire series. This week, Refiner, we're headed to "Woe's Hollow"!!
