Today, we tackle the 3rd and final film recommendation from Dan Erickson. To complete the trilogy of Dan's Sci-Fi Recs, we recap the 1982 classic... THE THING!

Starring two 1980s HOTTIES - Jurt Russell and Keith David! But we're not here to talk about how these studs took our breath away... ok, a little bit we do. But MOSTLY we're here to discuss what a landmark this film is to both Sci-Fi and horror.

We also come to realize by the end that all 3 of Dan's Sci-Fi recs have one thing in common: Aliens coming to earth to do sneaky stuff. Each is doing some form of body snatching, be it literal, metaphysical or biological. (Not appreciated.)

One can only wonder how these monumental films might impact the world of Severance in future seasons. (Please no ACTUAL aliens...please.)

Grab your warmest parka, put on your sturdiest snow boots, and let's get cozy by the fire. It's the safest place to be when The Thing has been set free!

If you've been in the Severance fandom for a decent amount of time, you've probably come across "Mailman Mike" aka Mike Lang.

This veteran and SEVERANCE SUPER FAN sat down to chat with your refined hosts, Rodnesha and Kali, and offer us a unique point of view on the show.

Mike is very candid about his time in the military and the resulting PTSD he now lives with. However, this lens through which he sees the world has also informed the way he connected with Severance.

So today we talk about trauma, therapy, PTSD, and how these factors affect the characters we know and love in Kier, PE.

But that's not all we discuss. Mike also shares some AMAZING stories of how he got connected to the cast of Severance, how he and Ben Stiller became basketball BFFs, and how this show, which was initially just a point of catharsis, has taken him down roads he never thought he'd travel.

Your Refined Hosts Kali and Rodnesha are proud to present to you a little series we call Dan's Sci-Fi Recs!

"Dan Who?" Why Dan Erickson - creator of Severance of course!

"But Why?" Because sometimes it's GENIUS to explore the genius behind the Genius.

In other words, we got the chance to ask Dan Erickson a crucial question earlier this year, "As a sci-fi fan, what are your Top 3 Sci-Fi movie recommendations?"

At first we thought nothing of it, then we realized... we might be holding a rosetta stone, so-to-speak, to the inner workings of our favorite series on TV! So we decided to watch them one-by-one and give you our thoughts.

Do we love it? Do we... opposite of love it? Do we see any Severance parallels? Are we adding it to our sci-fi "must watch" lists? We're gonna discuss it all and the first movie up is the one Dan said was the most formative to him in his youth - DARK CITY!

So sit back, relax and get ready to dive into the seedy underbelly of Sci-Fi Noir!!

Today we welcome Severance's prop master, creative consultant, and all-around amazing human - Catherine "Cat" Miller!

Your refined hosts, Rodnesha and Kali, invited Cat to sit down and chat about her story, and the road that led her to Severance. We ask the important questions, like if Cat is down with O(ther) P(eople's) P(roperty). Turns out... yeah... she is.

We talk ballet, egg slicers, baby goats, theater class, Woemeters, tossing totes, clicky pens and more. But most importantly, we wanted to give Cat her "props" for the fine work she's mastered and the iconic prop pieces we now hold dear.

Prop nerds - you're welcome! Hope you guys enjoy this interview as much as we did (which was a helluva lot)!

We are back from our mini-hiatus!!

This week "Between Floors" we decided to go back and examine the directing and cinematography that was NOT done by Ben Stiller and Jessica Lee Gagne.

We wanted to take a look at the other amazing partnerships behind the camera and what signature shots, styles and choices we could find in their episodes.

Turns out your refined hosts Rodnesha and Kali had PLENTY to talk about.

**TRIGGER WARNING** this episode reacts to a film that discuss S.A. and child abuse. Be advised.

Your refined hosts Kali and Rodnesha find documentaries to be a good way to pass the time when Between Floors - be it true crime or cults! (Yes... we're weirdos.) But today we chose to cover the Netflix doc, Tell Me Who I Am because it has a purpose - one that's connected to the world of Severance!

Our forever heroine Britt Lower name-dropped this gem as an integral part of her character prep for "Helly R." in Season 1. Well, if it's good enough for Britt... it's good enough for these twits! While it was a very intense watch - we discovered a lot of parallels to the characters and plots of Severance.

So whether or not you've watched the film we think you'll enjoy our accompanying thoughts and feelings on not only the incredible story contained within the documentary, but the ways in which we realized just how interconnected these two pieces of media are.
