‘Mountainhead’: Jason Schwartzman Talks Jesse Armstrong, Satirizing Billionaires, Working With Wes Anderson, & The Future Of Coconut Records [The Discourse Podcast]
Monday, 2 June, 2025

Jason Schwartzman has built his career playing lovable weirdos, and in "Mountainhead," HBO's latest dark comedy from "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong, he might’ve just out-weirded himself. In a movie full of bizarre billionaires gathered in a glass mansion to decide the future of humanity, Schwartzman’s character—Souper, a.k.a. Hugo Van Yalk—is both the sweetest and the most hilariously clueless of the bunch.In a new episode of The Discourse, Schwartzman joined the podcast to talk about working with Armstrong, filming in a surreal seven-story house, his thoughts on revisiting past characters, and the unexpected reason we haven’t heard a new Coconut Records album yet.
