Succession creator Jesse Armstrong is back with Mountainhead, a new movie with characters who are just as wealthy, powerful, and insecure as the Roy family. Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith star as four tech moguls gathering for a low-key guys' weekend of poker. But business and unchecked, overinflated egos quickly lead them all down a very dark path.

Yes, it's a satire and yes, movies always screw things up, but Jesse Armstrong's idea of tech founders in the new HBO movie Mountainhead is just plain wrong and counterproductive, says Bradley.

Um grupo de quatro ricos poderosos, alegadamente também amigos, encontra-se para um fim de semana numa casa na montanha, isolados de tudo enquanto o mundo entra numa crise mundial profunda devido a uma nova tecnologia de inteligência artificial. Vindo do êxito de “Succession”, o autor Jesse Armstrong apresenta “Mountainhead”, um filme feito em tempo recorde, visto que a ideia foi apresentada apenas em novembro e já está disponível na Max. Sendo difícil criar na sombra de “Succession”, voltamos ao universo do poder nas mãos de criancinhas muito ricas, numa sátira bastante negra ao mundo dos chamados “tech bros”, como Elon Musk e Mark Zuckerberg. Será que criador de “Succession” acertou no primeiro projeto após o fim da série? E por que razão adoramos ser uma mosca no mundo de milionários, como em “White Lotus”, “Industry”, e na própria “Succession”? No Humor À Primeira Vista, Gustavo Carvalho conversa com Pedro Boucherie Mendes, Diretor de Conteúdos Digitais de Entretenimento da SIC e autor da newsletter “TV Mural”, sobre televisão, streaming e ilhas adjacentes, para ler todas as sextas no Expresso.

I fredags stoppade polisen en mordplan mot honom och arrangörerna av Brännbollsyran valde att ställa in hans konsert som skulle bli den första på 9 år i Sverige. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Han är en av de mest omskrivna, kontroversiella och omdebatterade artisterna i Sverige idag som kritiseras för att glorifiera en kriminell livsstil. Men han har också försvarare som menar att han och hans låtar används som ett slagträ i en större debatt som inte har med musiken att göra.Men vad är det Yasin berättar om i sina låtar egentligen?Vi får besök av musikjournalisterna Petter Hallén och Hasan Ramic som kommer att fördjupa detta artistskap.MUSIKTIPSDet blir mer samtal om musik, om en av årets polarpristagare, den kanadensiska sopranen och dirigenten Barbara Hannigan.Musikrevyn i P2s Karin Birgersson har lyssnat på hennes senaste kritikerrosade skiva Electric Fields och kommer berätta om det galna konceptet bakom musiken och varför det är så bra.REPORTAGEKorsordskonstruktören HC Nygårdh har fyllt 75 år men har inga planer på att sluta göra sina kluriga korsord. Istället växlar han upp och debuterar nu som deckarförfattare.Vi möter honom där handlingen utspelar sin i ett gammalt gruvområde i de sörmländska skogarna och självklart finns det ett pussel att lösa för läsaren även här.KRITIKSAMTALI helgen var det premiär för filmen Mountainhead, en satirisk dramakomedi av Sucession skaparen Jesse Armstrong. Där fyra tech-miljardärer, spelade av Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith och Ramy Youssef, samlas i en lyxig bergsvilla för en grabbhelg, samtidigt som världen är på väg att kollapsa.Filmkritikern Björn Jansson har sett den och kommer berätta om det går att skratta åt det som utspelas i filmen utan att börja fundera allt för mycket om hur det ser ut i verkligheten.SERIEOBS har sommaruppehåll och istället sänder vi serien Da Vinci - Avkodad en serie av Cecilia Blomberg och Fredrik Wadström.En serie om världsberömda konstverk som fortfarande tolkas och omges av mysterier.Nationalmuseums Martin Olin, en Sveriges främsta Leonardo-kännare, berättar om målningarna som lyft fram Leonardo Da Vinci som ett av konsthistoriens största och mest omsusade genier.Programledare: Lisa WallProducent: Saman Bakhtiari

Jason Schwartzman has built his career playing lovable weirdos, and in "Mountainhead," HBO's latest dark comedy from "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong, he might've just out-weirded himself. In a movie full of bizarre billionaires gathered in a glass mansion to decide the future of humanity, Schwartzman's character—Souper, a.k.a. Hugo Van Yalk—is both the sweetest and the most hilariously clueless of the bunch.In a new episode of The Discourse, Schwartzman joined the podcast to talk about working with Armstrong, filming in a surreal seven-story house, his thoughts on revisiting past characters, and the unexpected reason we haven't heard a new Coconut Records album yet.

This week two dramas about sisters and the much anticipated movie from Succession creator Jesse Armstrong. • Sirens (Netflix, 5 episodes) Watch for the exploration of the relationship between working-class Buffalonian Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) and her younger and somewhat more successful sister Simone (Milly Alcock). Stay for the husband and wife dynamics between socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore) at the lavish beachside estate she shares with her billionaire husband, Peter (Kevin Bacon). • The Better Sister (Prime Video, 8 episodes) A thriller that centres around Chloe (Jessica Biel), a high-profile media executive (think Anna Wintour), who lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam (Corey Stoll) and teenage son Ethan (Maxwell Acee Donovan) by her side while her estranged sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) struggles to make ends meet and stay clean. • Mountainhead (Max, movie) A story about four very nasty tech tycoons, good friends on the surface but cutthroat underneath, who gather for a poker weekend at the luxurious home of the poorest of them, the one who is only worth half a billion dollars! Jason Schwartzman is Hugo, the host and creator of a meditation app, angling to get one of his friends to invest a billion or so in his business. Steve Carell is Randy, the oldest of the group, whose contacts in Washington, DC can influence the military and the country's power grid. Diagnosed with incurable cancer, he can't believe money can't fix that, but hopes to cheat death by getting his friends to create an artificial intelligence able to upload a human brain. Ramy Youssef is Jeff, whose company has a super-efficient AI, and who appears to be the most humane of the four (which isn't saying much). Cory Michael Smith is Ben, the owner of a social media app called Traan, and the world’s richest man. Also this week – James visits Clarkson’s pub which features in the new season of Clarkson’s Farm (prime Video) and Andrew has watched new And Just Like That (Binge).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris and Andy talk about the finale of ‘Everybody's Live' (8:06) and a couple of recent releases, including ‘Sirens' (14:29) and ‘Adults' (23:59). Then, ahead of the premiere of Jesse Armstrong's first post-‘Succession' project, ‘Mountainhead,' they talk about what the careers of other great showrunners like Matthew Weiner and Michael Schur have looked like after their most famous shows ended (34:14).

Four tech CEOs, drunk on power, reunite at a mountaintop home amid a global economic crisis they might be partially responsible for. "There is a power that is purchased by money, where they don't have to apologize for their behavior," Cory Michael Smith says about playing Venis in Jesse Armstrong's HBO film Mountainhead (May 31). "A lot of these guys probably grew up not being the coolest kids in class." Part of the struggle for Smith was finding the space between drama and comedy. "Figuring out the balance was a little nerve-racking." Plus, Smith was excited to work with Armstrong. "I watched Succession, like most actors, with awe and envy, thinking, 'Wow, that's the luckiest cast.' Being invited into his [Armstrong's] feature directorial debut is so dreamy." Smith was also eager to work alongside Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman and Ramy Youssef. "I'm really grateful that I feel like I didn't f*** it up...this felt like a monstrous opportunity, and a monstrous opportunity to fail and have to really consider going back to school if I just humiliated myself."

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes Reliable scooper Jeff Sneider claims Marvel Studios is actively looking for an actor to play T'Challa/The Black Panther, replacing the late Chadwick Boseman who passed away in 2020. According to Sneider, the studio's replacement of Boseman is only due to the fact that the MCU is working within the Multiverse currently. In related news, when asked during an interview about a dream role, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo said she would “really want to play Storm,” to “uncover how grand she is,”. Lastly, an OG villain is returning to the MCU, with Faran Tahir coming to the small screen to reprise the character of Raza, the leader of the so-called Ten Rings from 2008's Iron Man.  In some confirmed casting news, Rory McCann will replace the late Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll for Ahsoka season two. McCann is best known for playing The Hound in Game of Thrones, but his roster of work also includes Gladiator II, Hot Fuzz, Clash of the Titans, and more. Ahsoka is part of Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau's Mandoverse, and Filoni will return as showrunner for season two. Director Andy Muschietti let it be known why he thinks the 2023 DCEU movie The Flash, flopped. On Radio Tu's “La Baulera del Coso” show, Muschietti said the film didn't appeal to “all four quadrants” of moviegoers. The quadrants he's speaking of are men over 25, men under 25, women over 25, and women under 25. Muschietti also said anecdotally that in conversations with people he found they “just don't care about the Flash as a character…particularly the two female quadrants.” Colman Domingo has been cast in Edgar Wright's The Running Man and will star alongside Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Karl Glusman, Katy O'Brian and Daniel Ezra. The film releases on November 7. Production on many Hollywood television and film projects has been suspended and events such as The Critic's Choice Awards, red carpet premieres, and The Academy Awards nominations have been postponed due to the LA area wildfires. Five-time WWE world champion Seth Rollins has confirmed he is not in upcoming MCU movie Captain America: Brave New World, saying his role was cut following extensive rewrites of the script and subsequent reshoots. Universal Pictures has updated the release date calendar for two animated properties. DreamWorks' Shrek 5 has been pushed back almost 6 months to December 23, 2026 and Minions 3 from Illumination is moving forward almost a year to take Shrek 5's original date of  July 1, 2026. Variety reported today that MCU screenwriting veteran Marcus McFeely originally turned the Russo Brothers down about writing for Secret Wars, even though he is the reason the directing duo is returning. However, the next day McFeely called the Russos back and said he was in after coming up with an idea for the film. Warner Brothers is bringing back The Puppy Bowl for its 21st installment this year, but will use the game to bolster its upcoming DCU film Superman. James Gunn will appear during The Puppy Bowl with his dog Ozu, who served as the inspiration for the superdog Krypto in the film. Gunn will introduce a sneak preview of Superman and deliver a “special message” to viewers. According to box office tracking service Quorum, Captain America: Brave New World will likely cross the $100 Million Dollar Mark in it's opening 4 day weekend Ludwig Göransson will compose the score for Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey. Göransson's other film and TV credits include Creed, Black Panther, Atlanta, Tenet, and The Mandalorian. Succession creator Jesse Armstrong has reached an agreement with HBO to produce a feature film. The movie is based on an original idea of Armstrong's and will center on four friends who meet up in the midst of a global financial crisis. Production is currently fast-tracked to start later this year.

Well, you're out of luck, 'cause nothing happened, we just knitted and made salads, did some yoga. And no one will tell you different, because we killed the stripper.Can he scuba? Will he buckle under the intellectual scrutiny? Could this be the defining moment of his life? Or it could be what is should be: Nothing at all.BT-Dubz: That's it from Jarmstrong until January, as we're taking a short break. We're not sorry for what we're doing, which is correct, but we're sorry for how it makes you feel. And we're sorry it had to be today.We're doing a live show!

It's the penultimate episode of season one, and the guests are arriving for a destination wedding in an offshore laundry for turning evil into hard currency.We're back with showrunner/wedding planner, Jesse Armstrong. We have a lot of time for him, but there may be certain questions: Securing a considerable level of investment for a Napoleonic history podcast - is that nothing? Can he beat Kendall Roy's morning press-up tally ? And how long does he give it? WHAT?! We're just trying to sparkle.Send us a bear hug letter: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSo kind of you to pay for all this delicious wine: https://www.patreon.com/c/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

Hey hey hey, my people!Time for another peep through our (smeared) window into the mind behind 'Succession', Jesse Armstrong. We wouldn't say he's the man, but if there were a man - hypothetically - he might look a lot like Jesse.This week, it's episode 3, 'Lifeboats', and a trio of major players enter the stage: Sandy Furness, Stewy Hosseini and Mondale... um, there's no way Shiv is allowing a dog to have a surname. But he's basically a Roy, in all but name.Oh, and we found Roman's personal trainer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brockyurich/profilecard/?igsh=enMzaHdzYXo5cHpkStay strong, stay in touch.* We want each and every one of you to be innovating, challenging, being bold, being disruptive, bringing us new, original, multiplatform content: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com* Not all of us are born into good ease: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

The rewatch with our dear acquaintance Jesse Armstrong continues with season 1, episode 2, Shit Show at the Fuck Factory. Dear Jesse, talk me through your feelings on titles? Am I thinking about it too much? Like the people who thought all the orange in S3E8 was a signal that Kendall was dead? How much analysis is TOO much analysis? I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME. And what about Lawrence's omelette nipples? If you need us to go get sandwiches or coffee OR step up from regional parks and run North America, we can and we will, and that's just an offer on the table.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong. In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.' Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million dollar homerun? It's a magnificent effort.
