05:45

"Succession" showrunner Jesse Armstrong returns this weekend with a streaming movie called "Mountainhead." The film skewers tech elites and is the latest example of entertainment that satirizes a new class of the ultra-rich.

NPR TV critic Eric Deggans joins us to discuss how the trend feels more relevant as real-world billionaires amass more wealth and power.

This segment aired on May 30, 2025.
