S1E40 - SEVERED Origins - "Dark City" PT2

Severed: The Ultimate Severance Podcast

Drop a note to Allen S. right here. (Can't respond...sorry.)

WELCOME BACK TO THE DARKNESS, REFINER!
This is Part Two of our epic "Dark City" breakdown. This 1998 Sci-fi opus was a huge influence on Dan Erickson as he was creating 'Severance.' Last time, we met the players. This time out, we're going to dig into the mystery that is Dark City. Why is there no daylight? Why can't anyone seem to give directions to 'Shell Beach'? And, just how many dead hookers is it going to take before someone stops the serial killer who's run amok??!! Officer Frank Bumstead is doing his best to stop this monster...if only he could get anyone to listen to him.
Thanks for joining me! I'm just trying to keep myself occupied until Jan. 17th. Be watching for "Dark City-PT3" coming soon!!
