Severance 1x02 Reaction

Please start doing movie reactions 馃槶
"I never watched Pulp Fiction". Ok, help me understand something - do you girls just prefer TV shows over movies because you like long story format or is it just a coincidence that you never watched some of the most popular movies ever? Because apart from Pulp Fiction both of you mentioned never having watched some other super popular movies as well. I can't remember exactly which you mentioned, but there were many. I think it would be fantastic to watch you two react to movies as well, Pulp Fiction could be a great start.
LOLA DIDN'T EVEN FINISH DARK??? 馃拃馃拃馃拃 when you start running low on long shows you should definitely consider doing it, it'll probably be in years too where Lola has forgot more and we can enjoy Lola knowing and Milena not knowing what's coming. And then the ending, which neither has seen.
You guys haven't seen so many great movies...
Kind of wish you could sever your memories of some shows and watch them again. I'd be up for a Dark reaction.
That's an interesting concept that you can't separate people from memories because the feeling would persist. This is why babies have started to be anesthetized for procedures like circumcision because those feelings of fear and trauma can persist deep within the subconscious even though when they grow up, the babies can't remember the event itself.
Oh man that last scene with Peter gives me so much anxiety! Lol
Wait Lola never finished Dark? Can you two watch it together, Dark ends perfectly.. Do it
it's going back on the long shows list!!! we can watch Milena's brain buffer in realtime after we finish Mad Men
Couldn鈥檛 stop geeking out at the West Wing hoodie 馃馃馃
Bartlet for America
OMFG i didnt even know they were reacting to this. We are blessed yet again
The funniest thing, or even ironic, is that a company like Apple addresses this type of subject so well in a show, when it itself is one of those that represents this "evil" in society
Yeah its the irony of making art under capitalism. Look at the boys
the show is based on Karl Marx's theory about the alienation of work that occurs to the individual in the capitalist world, simply brilliant how the direction approached the subject
Has there been anyone who's worked on the show that's said that? ...Probably not lol, no way a showrunner would admit something like that. I can definitely see it
will probably watch this tomorrow that i have a day off (a rarity these days). it's been pouring for hours and i need to take advantage of it to read a book listening to actual sounds of storms instead of using an app for it 馃槀
You mentioned the Wells Fargo news story of the employee dying and not being found for 4 days. I live within walking distance of that building. That was a crazy story. Wells Fargo is the worst of the worst when it comes to corporate scuminess. Their management pushed a truly massive fake accounts scheme to generate fradulent fees. They are one of a few companies I boycott.
consider watching YOU on netflix next please
Obviously it's a sci-fi thing and you have to suspend your disbelief a bit, but I like comparing severance to retrograde amnesia, you still have all your skills and generic memories like using a computer and knowing what the states are but you lose all your personal memories and connections. On "why the really old computers", it's somewhat unclear what time this show takes place in, Petey has a pretty old phone but he might've intentionally bought one that couldn't be tracked, but IIRC nobody has a smart phone. I would guess this show is late 90's to early 2000s, which would explain the old computers. Another thing is that because all their workers are severed, Lumen can cut costs and get the shittiest computers they want, their workers wouldn't know anyway. You can basically make your working conditions as crappy as you want and the workers won't know that it's crappy because they have nothing to compare it to, and they have no recourse either way.
I think the most important question people should ask themselves when it comes to this series is "does Mr. Milchick get paid enough?" The man is (creepily) everywhere at all times, makes sure to (creepily) keep his smile all the time, makes everyone feel (creepily) welcomed in the company with parties, etc... Honestly we don't think about his paycheck enough. Does it truly reflect the amount of labour he does? I can't stop thinking about it

Watching it alongside you and I鈥檓 really enjoying it
I wasn't expecting this show to scare you this much but I'm here for it 馃槃 Milena how's this your first time seeing Christopher Walken what do meeeeeeeean
i know people would recommend something more serious but my favourite role from christopher is probably wilbur turnblad from hairspray 馃槀馃槀馃槀 i LOVE musicals and i had a period in highschool where i was obsessed with that movie and i must have watched it more than 20 times. i cannot hear the name baltimore without singing 'good morning baltimore' in my head
