| Mountainhead |
Allons-y! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, May 31!
Our Top Pick tonight is Mountainhead (HBO & Max, 8 p.m.). In the final day of 2025 Emmy eligibility, HBO drops Jesse Armstrong's movie Mountainhead, starring Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef as tech billionaires who get together as the world spirals. Things get tense, I assume. But maybe some Emmy nominations will ease the tension.
Elsewhere, Felicity Huffman must Escaping Polygamy, the Doctor needs to stop Archie Panjabi, Kathy Bates picks Two, Netflix celebrates itself, and the Pentagon looks into Lazarus.
