The poster for “Severance” sees Mark Scout in the elevator that leads to Lumon’s severed floor. The elevator is used incredibly frequently throughout the show, and is a primary point of unique camerawork as the characters switch between their innie and outie selves. (Photo Credit: Apple TV+)

The album cover of GNX sees Kendrick standing in front of a Black Buick Grand National, also called a GNX. Due to the car’s rare nature, with only 547 of them being made, as well as the fact that it was made in 1987, the year Kendrick was born, many have interpreted this as Kendrick seeing himself as the car- a rapper that’s one of the last from the same era as the GNX.
