Summary

On this week’s MBB Reacts, Mayim and Jonathan are breaking down Season 1 & Season 2 of the hit Apple TV+ Severance. After finally catching up to the Season 2 Finale, Mayim and Jonathan recap each episode, explain what they think happened during the cliffhanger ending, get deep into the hidden details you might have missed and all their favorite performances from Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Tramell Tillman & Britt Lower. They dig deep into what is going on at Lumon Industries, the dystopian look at corporate culture and if work-life balance is even possible. They go through fan theories and suggest their own! Plus, don’t miss their reflection on their previous episode with Ben Stiller and if he left any Severance easter eggs when he discussed directing!
