HiT 298: The One HBO Max Movie That Can't Be Ignored

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the brand-new HBO Max original film Mountainhead — a chilling tale with a high-tech twist. Is its tech bro terror warning pure fiction, or does it reflect what we just watched with horror break out in Boulder, Colorado? Host Christian Toto breaks down the eerie parallels and what the movie gets right — and wrong — about our culture's obsession with power, innovation, and control.

Then, we’re joined by bestselling author and political commentator Kurt Schlichter, who discusses his latest genre-bending novel, "Lost Angeles: Silver Bullets on the Sunset Strip." It's classic noir meets dark fantasy, complete with demigods, mythic intrigue, and gritty detective tropes — all set against the backdrop of the City of Angels. Schlichter offers no-holds-barred commentary on Hollywood, woke culture, and what storytelling means in 2025’s polarized media landscape.
