About This Podcast

Hi, we're Ben Stiller and Adam Scott. We have severed ourselves from the world for 5 years, making the workplace thriller Severance. While we have no memory of what happened during that time, we thought we should make a companion podcast for all the Innies who will have no recollection of watching, in an attempt to reintegrate them with their memory of the show. For seasons one and two, we did an episode-by-episode, behind-the-scenes breakdown with the creators, cast, crew, and fans of the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning TV show. We shared in-depth, never-before-heard analysis, alongside guests including creator Dan Erickson, stars Britt Lower ("Helly"), Zach Cherry ("Dylan"), John Turturro ("Irving"), Christopher Walken ("Bert"), Patricia Arquette ("Cobel") and Tramell Tillman ("Milchick"), and celebrity superfans like SZA, Jon Stewart, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Now we're bringing on special guests to talk about the tv shows, movies and cultural touchpoints that influenced us while making Severance. Sometimes we'll talk with the people behind those inspirational works, sometimes we'll talk with fellow fans, and through it all, we'll keep answering your hotline questions. If you’ve got a question about Severance or the stuff that influenced it, call us at 212-830-3816. From Audacy Podcasts, Red Hour, and Great Scott.
