In a special Q recording, Tom Power interviewed Jesse Armstrong at the Banff World Media Festival in front of a live audience. Jesse talks about his award-winning writing, directing, and showrunning on hits like Succession, Peep Show, The Thick of It, and Mountainhead. Plus, Jesse opens up about why he left his career in politics for TV, why he is so drawn to writing about power, and why satire isn't the potent weapon some may think.

The IPS DEPROGRAM (May 12, 2026) broadcast examines the “theater of Cywar,” focusing on how the “Meta Script” uses pre-scripted events and media archetypes to manage public perception. The host deconstructs the current Hantavirus narrative, the financial exploitation behind Trump-branded products, and the “concurrent programming” found in the television series The Boys. Central to the discussion is the concept of the “Endarkenment”—a post-truth era where systemic media fakery is so ubiquitous that it functions as a new form of monotheism. The episode serves as a guide for “informed disbelievers” to opt out of the “internalized Truman Show” by recognizing the logical fallacies and scripted subplots of both mainstream and alternative media.Topic 1: The Hantavirus “Plague Hoax” and Crisis ActorsThe broadcast argues that the current Hantavirus outbreak is a “PR stunt” recycled from previous pandemic narratives. The host identifies Jake Rosemary as a crisis actor who appeared in both the 2020 COVID-19 event and the current cruise ship emergency.* Recycled tropes: The use of cruise ships (mirroring the Diamond Princess) and viral videos to create a “closed system” of fear.* Contracted activism: Anti-vaxxer influencers are seen as part of the script, pushing “genocide” narratives to keep the public reactive.* Symbolic overlaps: The “deer mouse” and “bat” symbolism on currency and in media are viewed as indicators of a coordinated campaign.* Psychosomatic effects: The host suggests that fear of external threats, like “chemtrails,” causes real psychological distress through the nocebo effect.* Contract renewals: The reappearance of familiar faces in viral news suggests “renewed contracts” for media performers.Quote: “There are too many things that signify that this latest plague hoax is some kind of a PR stunt”.Topic 2: The Trump “Golden Phone” and Financial KayfabeThe host analyzes the $59 million generated by Donald Trump's “golden phones,” which have reportedly failed to ship a year after purchase. This is presented as a case study in how the “world stage” exploits political loyalty for profit.* White-label marketing: The phones are described as generic hardware with a logo stamp to minimize liability.* Unfulfilled guarantees: The company's removal of delivery and refund guarantees is highlighted as a red flag.* The “Golden Statue” connection: The phone marketing is linked to the broader “golden” branding used in political and fictional contexts.* Kayfabe drama: Political squabbles are dismissed as “world stage drama” designed to keep the public engaged.* Alternative products: The host suggests that even “phone cases” would have been a more viable, less litigious marketing strategy.Quote: “600,000 people handed over their money for what is essentially a white label phone”.Topic 3: Concurrent Programming in The BoysThe episode provides an in-depth analysis of how the TV series The Boys serves as “platforming for predictive programming,” paralleling real-world events with impossible timing.* The Homelander/Trump parallel: Scenes involving golden statues and bibles in the show directly mirror recent news events.* Foreshadowing assassination: The show's narrative beats, including an assassination attempt and a title change for the finale, are cited as evidence of coordination.* The MTG fallout: The character “Firecracker” turning on Homelander is seen as a scripted parallel to Marjorie Taylor Greene's changing relationship with Trump.* Musk-like archetypes: Media depictions of eccentric billionaires (like those in The Boys spin-off Gen V or Mountainhead) are viewed as warnings for upcoming societal disruptions.* The “Simulation” stop-gap: “Normies” use the concept of a simulation to explain these overlaps because they cannot process the idea of a pre-scripted reality.Quote: “The Homelander scene with the Bible and the Homelander golden statue... Both of these are mirroring what just happened with Trump”.Topic 4: The Coming “Mind Virus” and Internet LockdownThe host predicts that the “next pandemic” will not be biological but a “mind virus” used as a pretext to lock down the internet and silence dissent.* Media precursors: Films like 28 Days Later and Civil War are used to socialize the idea of infectious ideological violence.* The “Plot Device”: References to fictional technologies that turn phone users violent (as seen in Naked Gun or Mountainhead) are discussed as predictive programming.* Bunker culture: The narrative of elites retreating to bunkers is viewed as a way to prepare the public for total societal chaos.* AI and Aliens: The host suggests AI might be the “alien” force used to justify hyper-centralized control.* Collective “Crate Training”: The 2020 lockdowns are seen as a test to ensure the public is “lockdown-able” for future events like EMPs or fallout drills.Quote: “The next pandemic is not going to be a virus. It's going to be a mind virus... something they have to lock down the internet for”.Topic 5: Debunking “Trutherville” and Crow InstabilityA significant portion of the show is dedicated to “quarantining” media consumers from logical fallacies, specifically regarding chemtrails and the “lunar wave”.* Crow Instability: The host explains that “wavy” contrails are a known physics phenomenon caused by wingtip vortices, not “poison”.* The Lunar Wave hoax: The “lunar wave” captured by Crow777 is debunked as an atmospheric disturbance from passing aircraft.* Faulty Causality: The host mocks the idea of boiling vinegar to “dissipate” frozen exhaust at 33,000 feet.* The “Anti” Trap: Taking an “anti-science” or “anti-vax” position is viewed as falling into a “triangulated” script that keeps you trapped on the world stage.* Mental Immune System: Debunking these hoaxes is described as a way to “cure” the holes in a listener's mental immune system.Quote: “Your fear of condensation trails could actually be causing these adverse effects... which is psychosomatic”.Topic 6: The Meta Script and the Bifurcated RealityThe show concludes by explaining the “Meta Script”—a secondary timeline of pre-scripted events inserted into the consensus worldview to maintain a “perpetual war” of engagement.* Triangulation: Every psyop is bifurcated (e.g., Bill Gates as hero vs. villain) to ensure there is no reconciliation between factions.* Subplots in Alt-Media: Conspiracy theories in the alternative media are viewed as “subplots” that keep “truthers” tethered to the fake timeline.* The Endarkenment: A state where the “mainstream” has passed the point of no return into a fictional universe.* Off-World Stage: The goal of the program is to help listeners distinguish between the “real world” and the “impositions” of the meta script.* Kayfabe Monotheism: Media centralization is described as the new monotheism, where everyone follows the same script regardless of their “side”.Quote: “Every single issue... and every conspiracy theory in alt media is a subplot on the meta script, on the fake timeline”.

Have you ever had that feeling in your gut, when you suddenly realize that the person you're talking with might have a screw or two loose? What about when you're the one others are trying to slowly back away from at the punch bowl? The question of who's the real nut often arises for us collapse-aware folks living here in Crazy Town. Since Mr. Peanut is no longer returning their phone calls, Rob, Jason, and Asher invite Douglas Rushkoff, media theorist, professor, and host of the Team Human Podcast to answer the question. In this far ranging conversation, they discuss why “leveling down” might be the best strategy for navigating late stage capitalism and bringing ourselves back into right relationship with each other and the planet.

Today on the show – a conversation about Bugonia, with the film's writer, Will Tracy. Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the upcoming Academy Awards, the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film is an black comedy thriller about a pharmaceutical CEO, Michelle, played by Emma Stone, who's kidnapped by a conspiracy theorist, Ted, played by Jesse Plemmons. Ted is convinced that Michelle is not of this planet. He's insistent that she's an infiltrator from an alien world, responsible for the collapse of Earth's bee population and plotting a full-scale invasion. The film's an adaptation of a South Korean film from 2003, Jang Joon-hwan's Save The Green Planet, but feels tailormade for 2026. After all, could you really blame someone for believing a pharmaceutical company CEO to be an alien, given the coldness they often exhibit and the corporate babble they speak. If you're someone like Ted, all that empty LinkedIn speak about “synergy” and “Q1 shortfalls” and “creative solutions” may as well be an alien language, right? That's the cleverness of the conceit in Bugonia. In 2026, there's a chasm between the boardroom overlords who steer society and the people left behind by their decisions – especially when it comes to medicine in America, Michelle's company's MO – and Will's script speaks to that chasm with sci-fi invention and offbeat humour. Right now, those of you familiar with the screenwriter's work, might be thinking: “Yeah, of course it does! Have you seen this guy's CV?” And those people have got a point. Succession! The Menu! Mountainhead, on which he acted as a producer! These are all stories laser-focused on issues of class, staring into that aforementioned chasm between the haves and have-nots from different angles. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, I get into the thematic throughlines between some of these stories and what draws Will to them, as well as the secrets behind the most fascinating twists and turns within this story.

It's a little bit of everything this week on Pop Culture Pastor! Dave and Cody are back on their own, digging into the ultimate pop culture grab bag. From the seismic pop culture news of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's engagement (and some ridiculous “what if” wedding scenarios), to the messy Raja Jackson incident in the wrestling world, we cover it all.Then we dive into what we've been watching, reading, and listening to lately—documentaries (Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action and Trainwreck: Storm Area 51), oddball films (Mountainhead), charming series (Nobody Wants This), sports comedies (Stick), nostalgic reboots (Quantum Leap), and even some fresh music discoveries (Joe Keery's Djo and the long-lost When We Were Kings soundtrack).Think of this one like rummaging through a flea market of pop culture: unexpected finds, strange treasures, and conversations you didn't know you needed.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod

Ramy Youssef (Mountainhead, Number One Happy Family USA, Ramy) is an award-winning comedian, director, and actor. Ramy returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss how shooting Mountainhead was akin to a play, his subway take that everyone is inherently good and evil is just a virus, and why the US Constitution is dope. Ramy and Dax talk about likening his experience making TV to the national integrity crisis, who can throw a Molotov cocktail, and why the best things in life often emerge in spite of us. Ramy explains his initial understanding that at its core Poor Things is a romcom, how to him LeBron is the personification of discipline, and why he wanted to make a cartoon about a Muslim-American family set on and after September 10, 2001.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

(This is an episode from the podcast "On With Kara Swisher”, from from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network.) From media moguls to tech billionaires, Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning writer, producer and director Jesse Armstrong knows how to tap into the psyche of the rich and powerful. In the “Succession” creator's new HBO movie, “Mountainhead,” a tech-bro poker weekend turns into a life-or-death battle over who will control the future — in both business and the real world.From their isolated lair in Utah, four millionaire/billionaire friends (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef) watch as deepfakes created on one of their platforms lead to massacres, assassinations, and government takeovers around the world. This sparks the friends' imperialistic fantasies and some unfriendly inter-group competition. Kara talks to writer-director Jesse Armstrong about the real-world inspirations for these characters, how tech founders think about their own role in society, and whether the tech oligarchy has replaced legacy media giants like Rupert Murdoch. Mountainhead is available to stream now on Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From media moguls to tech billionaires, Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning writer, producer and director Jesse Armstrong knows how to tap into the psyche of the rich and powerful. In the “Succession” creator's new HBO movie, “Mountainhead,” a tech-bro poker weekend turns into a life-or-death battle over who will control the future — in both business and the real world. From their isolated lair in Utah, four millionaire/billionaire friends (played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef) watch as deepfakes created on one of their platforms lead to massacres, assassinations, and government takeovers around the world. This sparks the friends' imperialistic fantasies and some unfriendly inter-group competition. Kara talks to writer-director Jesse Armstrong about the real-world inspirations for these characters, how tech founders think about their own role in society, and whether the tech oligarchy has replaced legacy media giants like Rupert Murdoch.

David T.'s beautiful son Taylor S. Cole is back to discuss Dept. Q, a Scottish take on a Nordic-noir book series that has the good sense not to mess with star Matthew Goode's face. Chemistry in trope-y scenes, why Scandi crime stories often have a submarine, whether the mystery needed so many episodes to solve -- we're talking about all of that AND recommending actually Nordic Nordic-noir TV if you liked Dept. Q. Then we're going Around The Dial with Mountainhead, The Rehearsal, and The Last Of Us S01 before seeing whether Taylor can do his entire The Studio Canon pitch before we lose the light. True-crime actors won, late night lost some more, and three was the magic number for one of us in Game Time. Throw on a nubbly sweater and join us! GUESTS

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.
