In this episode, Manika is joined by Lydia (@landoflydia), a whip-smart TikTok creator and pop culture observer, for the first of a two-part conversation all about HBO's high-stakes financial drama Industry. The episode opens with a lively round of Media Mania, where Manika and Lydia dive into timely entertainment stories, including the controversy surrounding HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. They break down the problematic implications of supporting JK Rowling's work in 2025, especially in light of escalating anti-trans sentiment in the UK and US. Both express frustration at the entertainment industry's unwillingness to hold creators accountable, and highlight how fandom often prioritizes nostalgia over human rights.From there, the two shift gears to celebrate Sinners, Ryan Coogler's genre-bending new musical, which they agree is already a strong Oscar contender. They praise its powerful storytelling, stunning vocals, and the joy of seeing a Black-led original IP break box office expectations—despite negative media framing. The conversation also veers into Marvel fatigue, the wasted potential of Blade, and the systemic obstacles still plaguing directors like Nia DaCosta and actors like Mahershala Ali.Finally, they dig into Industry—the show's themes, characters, and cutthroat environment. Manika recalls being drawn in by the promise of a “Succession-like” drama with a Black woman lead, while Lydia shares how the show piqued her curiosity after buzz around Interview with the Vampire. The two discuss the brutal demands of Pierpoint & Co., particularly the tragic death of Hari in episode one, and how that moment sets the tone for the show's ruthless world.They break down season one through the lens of its four key grads—Harper, Yasmin, Robert, and Gus—exploring their backgrounds, ambitions, and moral compromises. They praise Gus's integrity, dissect Harper's calculated ruthlessness, and debate whether Yasmin's privilege shields or isolates her. A strong undercurrent of class and identity shapes the conversation, with both hosts reflecting on how different upbringings influence ambition in a world like Pierpoint.The episode ends with a powerful discussion of Harper's pivotal betrayal at the end of season one—when she chooses ambition over allegiance, takes down Daria, and secures her place beside Eric. Lydia and Manika agree: these aren't good people—but that's what makes them so compelling to watch.Lydia's SocialsTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@landoflydiaManika's SocialsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1CmokqeLIagz7nYQJfeRIwTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@manika3000?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1Podcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/Thank you so much for listening to the podcast.

What starts as a conversation about acting quickly turns into a heartwarming reunion between two North Carolina natives who had no idea they practically grew up next door. Molly Griggs opens up about her Southern roots, early theater experiences at the Cape Fear Regional Theatre, and how growing up in Fayetteville shaped her worldview both on and off stage. From MerleFest memories to reflections on leaving—and later embracing—her hometown identity, this episode is full of unexpected nostalgia. Molly also talks about her emotionally charged role in John Proctor Is the Villain on Broadway and why it felt like the universe handed her the script at just the right moment. She reflects on the vulnerability required to bring parts of her younger self to the stage, the tension between people-pleasing and truth-telling, and what it means to play “the one you love to hate” in Netflix's The Residence. It's a layered, funny, and refreshingly honest look into how personal growth and performance are deeply intertwined. Molly Griggs is a stage and screen actor currently starring as Bailey Gallagher in John Proctor Is the Villain on Broadway. Her previous credits include Minnie Fay in Hello, Dolly!, as well as TV roles in Succession, Servant, Doctor Death, and Netflix's The Residence, where she plays Lily Schumacher.

(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

Long-time listeners or observant newcomers will already know that Indiventure is a fortnightly podcast, which comes with its own benefits and drawbacks. One major plus is that it allows us to keep making this show as an extracurricular hobby without getting burned out; but the downsides include sometimes not being especially timely with our topic, if the latest big release happened to drop during our week off.   Knowing that, due to the quirks of our schedule, we'd be recording this a few days before the Switch 2 launched but releasing a week after, we decided to lean all-in to that lack of timeliness and dedicate this episode to a discussion of the Nintendo Switch. Like, the original one, that you've been able to get your hands on since 2017. Talk about keeping a finger on the pulse of pop culture, right?   In all seriousness, what better time is there to assess the old Switch's legacy than when its successor has recently taken centre-stage? In particular, with the benefit of eight years' hindsight, we really get into whether the Switch deserves to be remembered as the natural home of indie games in the late-2010s to mid-2020s.   Some indies certainly shone on the platform — there was surely a symbiotically beneficial relationship between the Switch and say, Stardew Valley, Hades, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Undertale, Untitled Goose Game, and loads more that we mention but I'm not going to list here because it's not really that kind of episode — but did that reputation built in the console's early days persist through the latter years, which saw upsets like the advent of the Steam Deck coming to eat Nintendo's lunch?   As is often the case on Indiventure, the debate gets spirited but not at all heated: Liam literally used to host a YouTube fan channel dedicated to the Switch, so his affection for the platform is evident; it's fair to say that Rachel's love for consoles generally dissipated after the DS era (she's willing to be convinced but only if they ever bring back Nintendogs!); and Rebecca makes the case for the Switch as the enduring home of niche Japanese titles that may not always be true indies but certainly get marketed like them in the west.   In this week's hyperfixations, Rachel has enjoyed sci-fi survival game The Alters very much and thinks you should check out her review on GamesRadar to find out why you probably would too. After a year away, Rebecca is once again locked in on a new playthrough of the little indie that could, a.k.a. Baldur's Gate 3. And Liam has recently resubscribed to NowTV and so finds himself finally able to catch up on all the prestige TV he's been missing out on due to not having access to that particular streaming service, like White Lotus, Succession, and The Rehearsal. Plus: Conclave (Liam discovered his hyperfixation in his own, unique, rambling way).   Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic.

Justine Lupe thought there was no way she'd ever be able to top the experience of playing Willa on HBO's ‘Succession.' Then she got cast as Morgan, one of the “loser siblings” on the runaway Netflix hit ‘Nobody Wants This.' They are two very different roles on two very different shows, but she says on this episode that she feels extremely “lucky” to get the opportunity to show both comedic and dramatic sides of herself on each. Fresh off of wrapping filming for Season 2 of ‘Nobody Wants This,' Lupe talks about the pressure of satisfying fan expectations for her character's complicated relationship with Timothy Simons' Sascha. And she opens up about her deeply rewarding experience on ‘Succession,' which was only supposed to be a handful of episodes before Willa became a central character, and even part of the Roy family, all the way until the very end.

SUCCESSIONS! The Hollywood Reporter recently released an article detailing the "promotions" that are allegedly being considered in major Hollywood studios, among them Disney.While many in the Star Wars have been talking ad nauseam about "Kathleen Kennedy being fired", the truth remains that someday she will step down. Now, it is rumored that it is not ONE person who might succeed her but TWO! Just like DC Studios has two CEOs, Lucasfilm, might have two co-Presidents (or co-Chancellors of you're fans of Phase 2 of The High Republic). Today we discuss these rumors of DAVE FILONI and CARRIE BECK being the potential heirs to the Empire and the potential successors of the Lucasfilm dynasty!• • •Triad of the Force is a channel which was featured on the Podcast Stage at Star Wars Celebration 2022 and 2023, featuring Nani and Gus, lifelong Puerto Rican friends who after years of discussing the media they love, came together and created their show.

John Seabrook's new book is about a family business—not a mom-and-pop store, but a huge operation run by a ruthless patriarch. The patriarch is aging, and he cannot stand to lose his hold on power, nor let his children take over the enterprise. This might sound like the plot of HBO's drama “Succession,” but the story John tells in “The Spinach King” is about a real family: the Seabrooks, of Seabrook, New Jersey. His grandfather C.F. Seabrook built a frozen-food empire in the farmland of South Jersey, which produced one third of the nation's frozen vegetables at its height. The P.R. was about a hard-working and innovative farm family, but the business, behind the scenes, advanced with political corruption and violence against organized labor. Then C.F. destroyed his business and his family rather than cede control to his sons. John—a staff writer who has covered many subjects for The New Yorker, most notably music—talks with David Remnick about the consequences of inherited wealth, and overcoming a family legacy of suspicion and emotional abuse.

What happens when an entrepreneur faces massive failure — and how does that become their greatest asset?  In this powerful episode of Succession Stories, host Laurie Barkman sits down with Brian Marshall, a leadership coach and business advisor who has spent over 40 years guiding entrepreneurs through personal and professional transformation. Brian shares his own deeply personal journey — from launching his first business at age 20, to experiencing devastating loss and failure in 2008, and ultimately building a new life helping others find freedom through ownership of their story.  This conversation is raw, real, and filled with insights about:      How failure can be the best teacher     Why vulnerability isn't weakness — it's strength     The importance of planning your exit long before you're ready to leave     And why owning your brokenness makes you a better leader       Whether you're facing a crossroads or just looking to lead more authentically, Brian's story will challenge and inspire you to embrace your past — and shape your future — with courage.

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.

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.
