SEVERANCE SEASON 2 REVIEW
The mysterious corporation called Lumon doing mysterious work involving a floor of “Severed” employees is back for season 2 of Severance on Apple TV Plus. Under the severed program, a mental division is created so that while at the office, an employee has no memory of their outside life and vice-versa. The idea is that top secret information will remain as such and the stress of the grind will be a thing of the past. Mark (Adam Scott) has caused a lot of problems for Lumon including delaying the completion of the Cold Harbor project and causing a PR nightmare for the company by being one of four employees who’ve made contact with the outside world. Helena (Britt Lower) has discovered that her outie is not some kind of 24/7 gardening hobby enthusiast but rather one of the top administrators for the Lumon corporation. Dylan (Zach Cherry) has found out that he has a wife and kids and his outie is a bit of a sad sack with not much going on. Irving (John Turturro) has discovered his innie has been documenting and hiding sketches of weird Lumon behavior. Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman), the new manager of the floor, must navigate the best way to keep the employees happy but break any rebellious spirit, so they will finish the grand and glorious works of the founder of Lumon, a cultish figure named Keir. Bradly, Neil, and Nate step through the looking glass and discuss the successes of season 2. They hand out a couple of Emmy predictions to the stellar cast while having a very in-depth discussion about the problems with water cooler mystery box shows that juggle too many toasters while standing in your mother’s childhood bathtub. If you think that’s weird, check out Severance on Apple TV+, but wait there’s more!

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Nathan Flynn is the resident goofball of One of Us. Net, often found overly caffeinated, slightly stoned, and ready to unleash the hottest takes imaginable. As the resident Letterboxd Lunatic, his movie opinions are as bold as his love for Top Gun: Maverick — a film he considers less of a movie and more of a religion. When he’s not passionately defending his latest cinematic obsession, Nathan manages a comedy club in downtown Austin, where he’s somehow avoided being heckled… so far. Around here, he’s usually the punching bag, but hey, someone’s gotta do it.
