Show Notes
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 and her gorilla of a driver in the episode "Who is Alive?" Guess what??!! Harmony made the trip to Salt's Neck! In this episode, we catch up with her out on the road. She's headed back to where she grew up. She's needing some things she left at home back when she was whisked away to be a star at the Myrtle Eagan School for Girls.
This time out we meet up with Hampton at the Drippy Pot. He's one of Cobel's oldest and dearest friends. He's also in the grip of a massive ether addiction, much like the rest of this tiny and dilapidated town. Oh, and if you're in need of ether, Hampton can set you up. As Sissy calls him, he's a 'huff peddler.'
Oh, yeah...Sissy. We're going to meet Harmony's Aunt Celestine 'Sissy' Cobel. She's Harmony's mother Charlotte's sister. Sissy does NOT have a warm spot in her heart for Harmony, Hampton or this backwards little town on the seashore where she feels trapped by her beliefs. Or, maybe she does still feel some kinship with Harmony...she's just not willing to show it.
It's time to hop in the VW Rabbit and head for the chilly coast of P.E. as we open the file called "Sweet Vitriol." (and, uh...huff it if you've got it.)

THIS IS THE 'SEVERED: ORIGINS' BREAKDOWN OF 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE' - PT05 Welcome back for Part Five of this Ultimate breakdown of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." If you've come this far, there's not a lot I can say. It's time to delve into Joel's humiliations. This is the cringy stuff Charlie Kaufman really likes to write about. It might leave you feeling just a bit sick to your stomach...that's okay, it's the CK way.
THIS IS THE 'SEVERED: ORIGINS' BREAKDOWN OF 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE' - PT04 Welcome back for Part Four of this ultimate breakdown of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

THIS IS THE 'SEVERED: ORIGINS' BREAKDOWN OF 'ETERNAL SUNSHINE' - PT03 Welcome back for Part Three of this ultimate breakdown of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Now we've got Clem and PATRICK headed for the frozen Charles. Stan and Mary are partying over Joel's unconscious body as the mind wipe continues. Meanwhile, in his shorted out brain, Joel is trying to figure out how to hold onto at least a little bit of the memory of Clementine. You thought it was weird?? You ain't seen nothin' yet!! It's going to get REALLY weird this time out!
