(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.

Writer-director Jonathan L. Bowen started a film review site in high school, which he continued into college, ultimately posting more than 600 movie reviews. After moving to L.A. to pursue a film career, he started making independent music videos, then established a production company, JLB Media Productions, that specializes in business-to-business marketing and web videos. His music videos, short films, and features have been screened at more than 50 film festivals nationwide. His work includes: "The Devils Matchmaker," a short that won Best Short Shorts Comedy/Romance at the Eugene International Film Festival. Jonathan wrote and directed Amy Alyson Fans, a feature-length romantic comedy. I've seen his most recent movie, The Comic Shop, which he co-wrote and directed, and can tell you, as someone who's written more than a few superhero cartoons, I found it to be a funny and emotionally rich story about folks struggling to survive in the dog-eat-dog world of comic books. Jonathan's also written two books, Anticipation: The Real Life Story of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, which was written before Jonathan graduated high school, and its sequel, Revenge: The Real Life Story of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. https://www.directorbowen.com/

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 143 - Phil Alden Robinson - Writer / Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with writer and director Phil Alden Robinson (THE GOOD FIGHT, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, FIELD OF DREAMS) about many of his films. Phil was initially interested in politics and journalism, but he eventually made his way to Los Angeles and found his way into a writer's room based on the strength of a spec script. Phil soon found two of his feature scripts in production, and he reflects on the impact of being treated as badly as possible and as well as possible simultaneously. Later, Phil breaks down how FIELD OF DREAMS came together as a project, and we learn how he overcame an overwhelming sense of stress through the support of his cast and key crew members, including cinematographer John Lindley (Season 1, Episode 34) and production designer Dennis Gassner (Season 1, Episode 131). In addition to his work in features, Phil also directed documentaries for Nightline in a number of war zones, and we discuss the value of living life and taking time off from making movies. We also discuss the ubiquitousness of VFX in cinema today, and Phil shares what he feels to be the real lesson to take away from a film like the original STAR WARS. - Recommended Viewing: FIELD OF DREAMS, THE SUM OF ALL FEARS - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Profoto

In this episode we're spotlighting a particular film rather than an individual guest. A film I think is so far, one of 2025's best horror offerings. I'm going to get a little Cryptkeeper here kiddies and tell you that this demonic offering is about a clairvoyant therapist who soon discovers there may be more to her most recent client than she bargained for when horrific happenings begin haunting her and her daughter. It's a nerve frying, reality shattering yarn titled “It Feeds” and is available now on streaming after a limited theatrical release. Joining me to discuss the film are writer/director Chad Archibald ("I'll Take Your Dead", "The Heretics") and stars Ashley Greene (the "Twilight" saga, "Burying the Ex") and Shawn Ashmore ("The Ruins" "Frozen").Let's dig into “It Feeds”, a world of nightmares and illusions! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dennis is joined via Zoom by filmmaker Sarah Kambe Holland whose new film Egghead and Twinkie flips the gay guy-straight girl trope on its head with the story of a gay girl-straight boy friendship that undergoes some changes after the girl comes out. Sarah talks about starting work on the project at 19, taking inspiration from her own coming out story, shooting a road movie within one hour of Orlando, Florida and having most of her crew be under 25 years old. She also talks about moving to the U.S. from Japan at nine and undergoing serious culture shock, incorporating her own love of animation into the movie and the lesson she learned from her actors during one particularly emotional scene. Other topics include: becoming a YouTuber with thousands of subscribers at 15, casting an actress who had never had a speaking role in a film before as Twinkie the Flipcam her family gave her that started her love of filmmaking and her real-life coming out speech to her parents that occured at the chain restaurant First Watch. https://eggheadandtwinkie.com

Well, we've been gone for a lot longer than anticipated listeners and I've missed you! Thankfully it's been for a good reason. I've been off making some movies. There will be more news on that to come but let's just say that for fans of this podcast, these projects are right up your alley.We have a whole slew of horror masters and soon to be stars of the genre lined up for you as well as a few changes to the show including new segments with guest appearances putting a spotlight on new releases of movies, books, comics, video games and more so we're going to be gutsier than ever before.I want to take a moment to mention our Patreon. We sure could use your help keeping the show independent and bringing you even more in-depth conversations with horror's finest. As a thank you for your contribution we will be offering exclusive bonus content, prize packs filled with movies, book, autographed merch and more. You can find the link to our Patreon below or in our bio. Thank you for support!Now, let's get down to it.Our guest today wrote and directed what in my opinion, may be the most underrated movies in recent film history. I know the term “underrated” is often overused but certainly not in this case.Based on comic maestro Cullen Bunn's hit series “The Empty Man”, the film version came out in 2020 and was sadly overlooked. And folks, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it NOW. I don't mind. Pause this and go watch it.What you will see is not only one of the most truly gripping, atmospheric, legitimately unnerving and beautifully made genre films in recent memory. It will also be one of those movies I promise you will want to talk to someone about as soon as the credits roll. This is a really important genre film.Joining me to discuss the film including the many ways in which is was so terribly mishandled by the studio system and the many other challenges that went into making “The Empty Man” is the films writer and director, David Prior.David and I discuss his vision for the film version of the comic, working with a great lead actor like James Badge Dale to craft a character who is never quite who he seems and what went so terribly wrong with the films release to the point that a movie made by a major studio with a reasonable budget as far as horror films standards go didn't even receive any sort of physical media release. That's right. Not even a barebones DVD. For fans of the movie, this episode may be the most insightful look into the film you can find as there's no commentary track with David or any of the extras we've become accustomed to when we want to learn about how a movie got made. And for those of  you haven't experienced the film yet, brace yourself. At one time we were one. We will all be one again. This message comes to you directly from… the empty man. Oh, and writer/director David Prior!Please show us your support at patreon.com/spillyourguts ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
