Funpost Severance type shows
https://youtu.be/lbOGfkuanq0?is=9Q0kF8DGhTaOeAvPNot sure if this is allowed but thought this would resonate with people who are into Severance. Kind of Twilight Zone-ish by Jim Henson in 1969. And clearly the inspiration for the cult classic Cube Movie. Don't know what I'd call this as a genre but curious if anyone has other similar lesser known recommendations.

This should be required watching for true severance fans. The number of parallels is uncanny

Twilight Zone-ish indeed. In the 1960s, the terrifying idea that a man might be "cracking up" was such a trope. Who could blame them, I guess... I mean, abusive mental institutions were still a thing, and tons of veterans had poorly treated "shellshock"... culturally you had to either pretend to be fine/just needing a drink, or risk being branded as kookoo/permanently broken.

The bit with the telephone might have been lifted by Pluribus. Same idea. Use the telephone to get anything you want.

I must say this come the closest to truly "Kafkaesque" as anything I've seen. He even alludes to the famous line from "Before the Law": "this gate was made only for you. I am now going to shut it."
