Confira no Morning Show desta segunda-feira (16): A escola de samba Acadêmicos de Niterói, fez uma homenagem ao presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT-SP) na Sapucaí no último domingo (15). Com o enredo "Do alto do Mulungu surge a esperança: Lula, o operário do Brasil", a escola gerou polêmica e críticas da oposição, que aponta suposta propaganda eleitoral antecipada. Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), pré-candidato à presidência, utilizou suas redes sociais para dizer que vai protocolar uma ação contra o desfile e que a escola fez ataques pessoais contra o pai dele. A Polícia Civil de São Paulo recuperou mais de 60 celulares na operação de Carnaval 2026 neste último domingo (16). Dessa vez os agentes foram ainda mais criativos e se fantasiaram de turma do Chaves para capturar os criminosos. O senador Carlos Viana (Podemos), presidente da CPMI do INSS, solicitará uma audiência com Mendonça logo após o Carnaval. O objetivo do Congresso é ter acesso à quebra dos sigilos fiscal, bancário e telefônico de Daniel Vorcaro, dono do Banco Master. O Festival da Primavera, que marca o início do Ano Novo Chinês, começou oficialmente. Este ano é regido pelo Cavalo, o sétimo animal do zodíaco chinês, que tradicionalmente simboliza alta energia, inteligência, um espírito livre e independente, além de rapidez e superação. A repórter Bruna Milan detalha que as festividades duram cerca de 40 dias, gerando a maior migração humana do planeta: as autoridades esperam mais de 9,5 bilhões de viagens inter-regionais no período. O filme 'O Agente Secreto', longa que conta com o ator brasileiro Wagner Moura, não para de empilhar estatuetas. A produção acaba de vencer a categoria de Melhor Filme Internacional no Independent Spirit Awards, importante premiação independente nos Estados Unidos. O Carnaval de rua de São Paulo provou mais uma vez o seu poder de atração!

Em um vídeo, o influenciador revela que as contas mensais para encher a despensa chegam a bater a marca de R$ 18 a R$ 20 mil. A banca discutiu sobre a situação. O clima de Carnaval toma conta do país, mas a festa também exige atenção redobrada com a segurança financeira, especialmente com a ação de golpistas no meio da multidão. Para ajudar a população a se proteger, o Morning Show conversa com o especialista em segurança da informação, Luiz Henrique Barbosa. Entre as estratégias de defesa, o apresentador Fernando destaca uma dica inusitada e valiosa: o uso de papel alumínio junto ao cartão de crédito para bloquear pagamentos por aproximação acidentais ou fraudulentos.

Time to play some catch up! In this episode, we get to meet award-winning filmmaker of His Three Daughters, Azazel Jacobs. Full disclosure: this chat (and the one that will constitute my next episode too..shh!!) was actually recorded back in the spring, but life things and other deadlines kept pushing it, and now here I am embarrassingly in early winter only publishing it now. But, as it happens, I was already playing catch up with Azazel, who had released the magnificent His Three Daughters - starring Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne - about the year prior, which had come off a nice run of awards notice, including the prestigious Robert Altman award at the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards. So it was great fun to look back on his eventful year, which felt like a bit of a breakthrough into a new echelon of visibility and acclaim for him. We talk a lot about that film, including what it was like to work with this cast, and with such a deeply heartfelt and personal story. We talk about his early foundational films he found as he was discovering his voice, his love of cinema, and how he comes at the art of moviemaking. It was a great chat, and even though it's coming out a bit late, I think you'll still find a lot to love about this deep talk with a talented filmmaker. Thanks for listening.

One theory that falls squarely in the center of this broad range is that Sink has been cast as the MCU's Jean Grey.Moon Knight Deserves to Return to the MCUAs a street-level vigilante with a penchant for fighting organized crime, Moon Knight would fit remarkably well in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.Luke Cage Could Continue the MCU's Latest Street-Level TrendAndrew Garfield's Spider-Man Is Rumored to Return in Brand New DayDaredevil Is the Only Hero Fans Need to See in Spider-Man: Brand New DayWith Jon Bernthal's Punisher already confirmed to play a major role in the film, it seems more than likely that Daredevil will also show up, uniting three of Marvel's most iconic street-level heroes for the first time on the big screen.Peace makerFortnite has pulled the Peacemaker "Peaceful Hips" emote following the latest episode of the hit DCU series, entitled "Ignorance Is Chris," which confirmed Season 2's biggest fan theory. Specifically, the alternate dimension showcased throughout Season 2 of Peacemaker is in fact the Nazi-ruled timeline of Earth-X. Subsequently, the "Peaceful Hips" emoji, which is based on a dance sequence from Season 2's opening dance number, has come under intense scrutiny, leading some to speculate that it is in fact a reference to an anti-Nazi Donald Duck short and/or the Nazi swastika.In a statement released via Twitter on Sept. 28, the official Fortnite Status account noted, "We're disabling the Peaceful Hips Emote in Fortnite as we inquire into our partner's creative intentions in this collab emote. Assuming it's not coming back, we'll issue refunds in the next few days. Sorry folks."

Trying to pigeonhole Tom Epperson into a single category is impossible—and that's part of what makes his career so compelling. His path as a novelist and screenwriter has been anything but linear, weaving through genres and mediums with equal parts grit and curiosity. He knew early on that writing would be his life's work, and meeting lifelong friend and collaborator Billy Bob Thornton during boyhood only strengthened that conviction, leading to a six-decade partnership that produced tremendously profound films like One False Move, The Gift, and A Family Thing. Their work has earned significant critical acclaim, including Independent Spirit Award and Saturn Award nominations, and recognition from the Writers Guild of America. As a novelist, Tom's range is just as impressive, spanning noir, historical fiction, and adventure with titles such as Sailor, Make Believe, Roberto to the Dark Tower Came, the Edgar Award nominated The Kind One, and most recently Baby Hawk—available wherever books are sold. In our conversation, we dived into the origins of his new book, the dangers of group-think, the challenging nature of AI, his first move to Los Angeles, and what it takes to remain grounded in a chaotic world.Opening Credits: Arana - Jazz at Mladost Club I CC BY-NC-SA 3.0; Komiku - Old artefact to destroy the patriarchy hidden somewhere I CC0 1.0.

The Texas based filmmaker Bryan Poyser returns for his 3rd visit to the podcast. It's been 11 years since he visited. His new film, a comedy, is called "Leads" and will be having its world premiere this week at the Tribeca Film Festival. Written and directed by two-time Independent Spirit Award nominee Bryan Poyser, Leads is a sharp, spirited comedy about second acts and sibling chaos. Mags (Heather Kafka) is a drama lecturer with a steady job, a kid to raise, and her dreams of artistic greatness on the back burner — until her charmingly unpredictable younger brother Merritt (Justin Arnold) shows up out of nowhere… and signs up for her acting class. What starts as an awkward reunion quickly spirals into a hilariously messy journey as old wounds, big ambitions, and way-too-honest monologues bubble to the surface. With Mags trying to maintain control and Merritt stirring the pot, the class turns into a chaotic proving ground for everyone's creative (and personal) baggage. Poyser turns the classroom into a comedic pressure cooker, where drama — both scripted and unscripted — explodes in surprising, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud ways. With standout performances from Kafka and Arnold, plus a winning ensemble that includes Macon Blair and Sara Paxton, Leads is a love letter to late bloomers, awkward family reunions, and the beautiful mess of trying to make art — and sense — of your life. —Cara Cusumano (Tribeca Film Festival) https://youtu.be/aUj9N5OfwEs

Lynn Nottage is joined by Soo Hugh for a conversation about approaches to adaptation for the screen, improving work-life balance by recentering collaboration, building the writers room for a show that spans several languages, countries, and times, and much more.  Soo Hugh is a writer, showrunner and producer who cut her screenwriting teeth as a staff writer on shows like the AMC crime drama The Killing, the CBS sci-fi series Under the Dome. She then went on to serve as creator and showrunner for ABC's 2015 sci-fi series The Whispers and as the co-showrunner for the first season of the AMC supernatural anthology The Terror. She is currently the showrunner, writer, executive producer, and visionary behind the drama series Pachinko, based on the international bestselling novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee. Told in three languages – Korean, Japanese, and English – Pachinko follows the hopes and dreams of four generations of a Korean immigrant family as they leave their homeland in an indomitable quest to survive and thrive.  Season 1 received the Peabody Entertainment Award, a Critics Choice Television Award for best foreign language series, an Independent Spirit Award for best ensemble cast in a scripted series, a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series, and was notably elected as one of AFI's TV programs of the year. The series debuted on Apple TV+ in March 2022, and the highly anticipated season two premiered globally last summer. This episode is moderated by Lynn Nottage. Lynn is a screenwriter, playwright and installation artist. She is the first, and remains the only, woman to have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama twice – for her plays Sweat and Ruined. As a screenwriter she was a writer and producer on the Netflix series She's Gotta Have It and a consulting producer on the third season of the Apple TV+ series Dickinson. --- Read shownotes, transcripts, and other member interviews: www.onwriting.org/ Follow the Guild on social media: Twitter: @OnWritingWGAE | @WGAEast Facebook: /WGAEast Instagram: @WGAEast
