Episode 14: Four Lions, Succession & Mountainhead

Send us a text

This week, it’s all about systems under strain.

Satire. Power. And the quiet logic that collapses under pressure.

Four Lions - a comedy that strips ideology back to behaviour, exposing how conviction fractures when it’s carried by people who don’t fully understand it.

Succession - a long-form study of inheritance, damage and control - where power is learned early.

Mountainhead - a claustrophobic retreat into wealth and paranoia, four men sealed inside a world they built but no longer recognise.

Three stories.

Three ways of showing how authority, certainty and intelligence begin to fail - slowly, then all at once.
