LET'S HAVE SOME FUN TODAY, REFINER!!Since things are kinda quiet down here on the Severed Floor, I've decided to lighten things up a bit. This week, we're going to do a full breakdown on the file marked "Sizzler" Corporate Video. It's loaded with Big Hair, Big Plates of Food and some Big Platitudes about corporate Steak House chain 'Sizzler.' Dan Erickson has talked about it in interviews as being an inspiration for "Severance." What is it? Where did it come from? How did the not-quite-40-year-old DE come across this relic from 1991?? I've got all the answers plus a fun breakdown of the video, scene by scene.You REALLY need to see this video. Here's a link:(1153) Sizzler Promotional Commercial 1991 - YouTubeFollowing the video, DON'T MISS a Special Interview! I talk to Sharon Simon, East Coast Stand-up comic and 'Severance' fanatic. Sharon got in touch with me about doing an interview. Why? Why NOT?!!? So, we did an interview. It was a lot of fun. Video breakdown AND Interview not enough for you?? Strap in, Refiner...we've got an MLE planned for the end of the day. That's right: a Music Listening Experience. Music Producer Michael Orbit sent me some hot tracks inspired by 'Severance.' I had to share! I've got samples and links for you to check out. It's a full day, Refiner! Pour another cup of coffee and let's get to work!! EASTER EGG; Be listening during the interview with Sharon. Yes, that would be Siri, thinking I'm trying to get her to tell me something in the background...twice. The noise of things banging and falling would be me frantically trying to silence an iPad.  Make sure to subscribe, Refiners!! "Severed" is on hiatus until the end of Season Two. Periodically, during the down time, we will be taking a look at those things that Dan Erickson has listed as inspiration. Be watching for those episodes under the title "Severed: Origins." Please continue to listen and re-listen to the still available Season One episodes. Once Season Two has concluded, be watching for "Severed: Season Two"...the Ultimateness will continue!
