But together, in Armstrong’s dense, highly quotable dialogue, their arrogance reaches hysterical proportions. While the cast is altogether excellent, this is most true with Smith’s Venis, a tech bro to end all tech bros. As the news around the world gets worse and worse, his certainty doesn’t waver. Earth, itself, no longer hold much interest for him. “I just want to get us transhuman!” he shouts.This image released by Max shows Cory Michael Smith, left, and Steve Carell in a scene from “Mountainhead.” (Max via AP)

It’s in the way Venis blanches at the mention of his baby son. It’s in the way, as death counts escalate in the news on their phones, they toy with world politics like kids at a Risk board. In one perfectly concise moment, Venis asks, sincerely, “Do you believe in other people?”If “Succession” filtered its media satire through family relationships, “Mountainhead” runs on the dynamics of bro-styled male friendship. There are beefs, hug-it-out moments, passive-aggressive put downs and eruptions of anger.

All of “Mountainhead” unfolds in the one location, with white mountaintops stretching in the distance outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. It could be a play. Instead, though, it’s something that either hardly exists anymore or, maybe, exists everywhere: the made-for-TV movie.

There’s no lack of films made for streaming services, but many of them fall into some in-between aesthetic that couldn’t fill a big screen and feel a touch disposable on the small screen. But “Mountainhead” adheres to the tradition of the HBO movie; it’s lean, topical and a fine platform for its actors. And for Armstrong, it’s a way to keep pursuing some of the timely themes of “Succession” while dispensing lines like: “Coup-out the U.S.? That’s a pretty big enchilada.”LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal’s anti-immigration Chega party notched

on Wednesday after it was assigned the second-most seats in parliament — meaning it will become the head of the parliamentary opposition to the new government.That shatters the pattern of Portugal’s center-right and center-left mainstream parties alternating between heading a government or leading the opposition.

Chega’s strides since thecoincide with gains elsewhere by far-right forces. In Europe, those include France’s National Rally, the Brothers of Italy and Alternative for Germany, which are now in the political mainstream.
