Hey, I'm Ben Stiller. And I'm Adam Scott. And we host a podcast called The Severance Podcast, where we used to break down every episode of the TV show Severance. It's been a few months since the season two finale, and not only do I miss seeing everyone react to the show, but I also miss coming here and talking with you every week about it, Adam. Yeah, me too.

It's felt unnatural talking to you over the last few months without a microphone in front of me. Yeah, I know. It's weird. It's really one of the many reasons we decided to bring the podcast back. But we're going to do things a little differently this time around. One of our favorite parts of doing the podcast has been talking about the movies, TV shows, and artists that influenced us while making Severance. While we were recapping the episodes, we'd mentioned something that inspired a performance or like a shot, like how Star Trek influenced some of the sets on the severed floor, for example. Right, or how workplace satires like The Office and the movie Office Space inspired the comedic

tone of the show. And so we thought it would be really fun to talk to the people behind those influential movies and TV shows. We want to kind of dig deeper into the craft of how and why people make stuff. What is their process like? What inspires them? And most importantly, what do they think about Daylight Savings Time? Well that's actually an important question that I've learned a lot more about. And it's much more complicated. Oh my gosh.

It's much more complicated. It's actually really easy. It's quite simple. It actually... It's not that interesting. I agree to disagree. We'll also talk to Severance Superf fans and keep answering your hotline questions. We're coming out with a new episode every Thursday

for the next five weeks starting tomorrow, June 26th. Find us on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts so you don't miss an episode.
