Ep. 332: Amy Taubin on Cloud, Tribeca (I Was Born This Way, Happy Birthday, Shadow Scholars), Twin Peaks, Outrageous, plus Mountainhead Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. The summer may have technically begun, but it's not truly the summer without our annual June-July-ish kick-off: a podcast with critic Amy Taubin! Once again she brings a selection of highlights gleaned from the Tribeca, including prize-winners and otherwise: I Was Born This Way (directed by Daniel Junge and Sam Pollard), Natchez (Suzannah Herbert), The Shadow Scholars (Eloise King), Cuerpo Celeste (Nayra Ilic García), Happy Birthday (Sarah Goher), and the delightful Lion King doc Runa Simi (Augusto Zegarra), with my chiming in about The Scout (Paula González-Nasser). But wait, that's not all: Amy also talks about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cloud (coming to U.S. theaters on July 18); her recent work on Twin Peaks, with a remarkable personal connection to David Lynch's work; and Outrageous, the very resonant TV series about the Mitford sisters. Plus: I ramble a bit about the latest movies from Celine Song, Materialists, and from Danny Boyle, 28 Years Later, as well as Jeremy Strong's feature-film directorial debut, the tech-bro-apocalypse satire Mountainhead.

There are a couple sound issues on this one, but we just did that to try to match the quality of this House episode which is... not great.Our guest, comedian and writer Alex Kennedy is great though!

We've also got Mountainhead corner and a whole lot of talk about social media slop.It's a fun pod so listen now!

In this episode, we get together for another Roundup, where we go around the room and discuss the other movies we watched this month. June included 28 Years Later (2025), Mountainhead (2025), Snow White (2025), Arrival (2016), Cache (2005), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) and more! Listen now!

For this episode, we try a new type of discussion. After hearing that movies are built on a triangle of art, technology, and business, and that each side impacts the others, we wanted to put that to the test. We invite entrepreneur and old friend of the show Christian to bring the Business angle, while Dustin and Jake champion Art and Tech respectively. There's a lot of pros and cons weighed, and a lot of devil's advocacy against ourselves as well. Definitely a fun and interesting time, and a bigger concept than we had time to completely tackle so let us know what points we missed and we'll continue the conversation in the comments!Before that, the guys give spoiler free first impressions on new stuff they've been watching. Dustin saw Mountainhead. Jake watched Under the Banner of Heaven. Christian is deep into How I Met Your Mother. Then all three discuss a fantastic new short film from Harry Waldman called Enter the Room. Currently in festivals but should be making its way online around the end of this year.

This week Bob and Matt dissect three very different cinematic releases: Wes Anderson's pastel chaos, a deep-sea implosion doc, and a tech bro fever dream masquerading as a movie. ⏱️ Chapter Markers: 00:00 – 17:45 | The Phoenician Scheme Wes is back with a hand grenade. Bob breaks down the “Wes Venn Diagram,” Matt praises the comedic rhythm, and Michael Cera steals the show. Bonus: eyebrow analysis and a Benedict Cumberbatch wig appreciation moment. 17:46 – 32:20 | Titan Sub Disaster (Netflix) Implosions, PlayStation controllers, and corporate delusion. Bob relives learning about the story in an escape room, and Matt explores the horrifying audio build-up to tragedy. An unexpectedly gripping doc with more tension than most action films. 32:21 – 41:44 | Mountainhead (Max) Billionaires with soup spoons, gobbledygook dialogue, and a plot so muddled even subtitles tap out. Bob is out, Matt is… somewhat amused. The guys debate whether it's satire, nonsense, or both—and if Steve Carell can save it. (Spoiler: maybe not.)

Hoy traemos a cuatro híper millonarios de la industria de redes digitales y tecnología, que pueden acabar con el mundo con la yemas de sus dedos; a un juez prestigioso de Nueva Orleans que trata de salvar a su hijo y corre los límites de la paternidad, la ley y la decencia; a un ejecutivo de un hedge fund que cae en desgracia, y prefiere cavar y cavar en su tumba; y la secuela de ANDOR, y el universo de la Guerra de las Galaxias. Las cuatro muy recordables.

Israel says now is the time to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Five days into fighting, the conflict could turn into a war to topple the Islamic Republic. As the toll of ICE raids weighs heavily on local immigrant communities, Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries says, “No. We reject this. This isn’t who we are.” Jesse Armstrong offers a sharp take on power in the show “Mountainhead,” where four tech billionaires ignore the looming dangers of AI as the world unravels around them. “Jaws,” which turns 50 this week, was shot as an “incredible exercise in suspense.” It also tapped into people’s fear of being alone and defenseless, and kept audiences engaged with the three lead characters.

Can men truly ever be friends? This is the question Jett Loe asks of his co-host, (and possible friend), Gareth Higgins on this, the 300th episode of The Film Talk. In this ep male friendship is discussed in the context of the new, excoriating satire from the makers of Succession, Mountainhead, and the hilarious Tim Robinson star-vehicle Friendship. Along the way Loe and Higgins reference poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, artist Joseph Beuys, the films Robocop and Starship Troopers and much more. Enjoy.

From time to time we all encounter difficult people. And while they may have reasons for their troubled temperaments, that doesn't make them any easier to deal with. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two films that feature problematic characters. First up is “Bring Her Back,” a horror offering starring Sally Hawkins, followed by “Mountainhead,” a streaming feature focusing on badly behaved billionaires.

Money has long equaled power – but does it also equal intelligence? Many people seem to think so, regardless of any evidence to the contrary… Both in movies and TV and in real life we've seen a number of recent examples of the problems big and small that can arise when immense wealth comes to dominate views of what it means to be smart, productive, and capable. Let's take a closer look at this trend via recent releases like Jesse Armstrong's Mountainhead, the two OceanGate Titan disaster documentaries & more... Learn more about your ad choices.

(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.
