HAPPY HOLIDAYS, REFINERS!! WELCOME BACK TO 'SEVERED'!! Ever wonder what it would be like to spend Christmas in a tiny cabin in a blizzard with John Hamm? Find out in this latest episode of "Severed: Origins." We're breaking down the incredible 'Christmas' Episode of the Black Mirror Anthology Series called "White Christmas." It's freaky all the way around. It's easy to see why it was an inspiration for Dan Erickson during his creation of 'Severance.'

This time out in Part One, we get some background on Charlie Brooker and the amazing British/Netflix series "Black Mirror." We also get into the cabin with Matt and Joe. That Matt's a talkative one! We'll find out his story this week. He's got a harrowing tale to tell about young Harry and a date gone wrong.

WELCOME BACK, REFINER!! IT'S TIME FOR MORE SEVERED!!
Well, better late than never, right Refiner?? This week, "Severed: Origins" is finally taking some time to break down the weird little document Red Hour released a month after the premier of the show: "The Lexington Letter". It was presented as a whistleblower letter written by a Severed Employee working at the Topeka, KS location of Lumon Industries. It contained a few clues, but it was REALLY another attempt on the part of the producers to explain the Severance Procedure. They were just sure the viewing public was too dumb to figure it out (TV Execs have traditionally believed they are smarter than the average population...this would be why most of TV is SO dumb.)

This piece was rushed. Several folks who read it early on were quick to comment how poorly written it was compared to the series. It's true, and we're going to get into the logic holes, the HUGE continuity errors and the impossible timeline. There are a few details and reveals...but they are buried amidst a LOT of badly constructed narrative.

If you've been with me this far, you know I LOVE "Severance." Don't be shocked, but I DON'T love the "Lexington Letter." I've tried to reign in the snark, but it's upsetting to see such a poorly conceived and badly written creative piece tied to such a cool show. Verbal slaps about the authors' head and shoulders were unavoidable. -Allen S.

WELCOME BACK, REFINER!! READY TO JUMP INTO A VOLCANO?
So glad to have you along for the exciting conclusion of "Joe versus The Volcano." Last time we were just about to board the "Tweedle-Dee" and head for the fictional island of Waponi-Woo.

This time, we hit the water for some fishing...and falling in love...and falling overboard. It's a very eventful trip. Joe and Patricia (Angelica's half-sister) do finally make it to the island of Waponi-Woo. Joe is ready to fulfill his obligation, until Patricia decides she wants to marry him. And, of course, this all happens on the lip of an active volcano. It's pretty crazy.

THIS IS PART TWO: Make sure to check out Part One first. It should be available wherever you found this. Also, if you're wanting to watch "Joe vs. The Volcano" spoiler- free DO NOT LISTEN!! HUGE SPOILERS WITHIN!! Come back after viewing. You can either rent or buy digital versions of "Joe vs. The Volcano" on Amazon Video.
