S1E23 - SEVERED Origins - "Office Space" PT02

WELCOME BACK, REFINERS! ARE YOUR TPS REPORTS COVERED?? It's time for the second installment of our breakdown of "Office Space." The hilariously dry 1999 comedy was an influence on Dan Erickson as he was creating "Severance." That's why we're breaking it down as part of the "Severed: Origins" series. This time, Refiners, we'll be finishing up "Office Space." We've got a lot of ground to cover!! We meet 'the Bobs', Peter and Samir get fired, Tom gets hit by a truck and "Superman III" swoops in to save the day...kinda. Peter and Joanna get together not in small part due to their shared love of the 1972-74 David Carridine TV series "Kung Fu." Grab your red stapler and don't tell Milton he's been fired. It's time for the conclusion of "Severed: Origins" breakdown of "Office Space." Huge thanks to Adam Scott, star of 'Severance' and host of the Severance Podcast for recording a custom intro for "Severed."
