The untold history of a top-secret operation in the run-up to D-Day in which American flyers and Allied spies carried out some of the most daring cloak-and-dagger operations of World War II.In 1943, the OSS-precursor to the CIA-came up with a plan to increase its support to the French resistance forces that were fighting the Nazis. To start, the OSS recruited some of the best American bomber pilots and crews to a secret airfield twenty miles west of London and briefed them on the intended mission. Given a choice to stay or leave, every airman volunteered for what became known as Operation Carpetbagger.Their dangerous plan called for a new kind of flying: taking their B-24 Liberator bombers in the middle of the night across the English Channel and down to extremely low altitudes in Nazi-occupied France to find drop zones in dark fields. On the ground, resistance members waited to receive steel containers filled with everything from rifles and hand grenades to medicine and bicycle tires. Some nights, the flyers also dropped Allied secret agents by parachute to assist the French partisans.Though their story remained classified for more than fifty years, the Carpetbaggers ultimately received a Presidential Unit Citation from the US military, which declared: "it is safe to say that no group of this size has made a greater contribution to the war effort." Along with other members of the wartime OSS, they were also awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.Based on exclusive research and interviews, the definitive story of these heroic flyers-and of the brave secret agents and resistance leaders they aided-can now be told. Written in Bruce Henderson's "spellbinding" (USA TODAY) prose, Midnight Flyboys is an astonishing tale of patriotism, courage, and sacrifice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

We start out talking briefly about our recent viewing choices of shows like THE SECRET AGENT, TAKING OVER THE ASYLUM, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS and M*A*S*H, but our conversation then takes a sudden sharp handbrake turn as we find ourselves talking at some length about the more action-orientated TV shows, prompted by mentions of THE EQUALIZER, THE PROFESSIONALS and CALLAN: THE MOVIE, amongst others, and we end up giving some serious consideration to the wisdom or otherwise of portraying vigilantism as entertainment.I sometimes think that VISION ON SOUND works extremely well when we take a random route to a totally unexpected subject after being prompted by this simple idea we once had of talking about archive TV, and I hope you will enjoy the next hour as much as we did.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

What was supposed to be a casual dive into cyberspace quickly spirals into a full-blown temporal disaster when a mysterious program tears through the world, merging past, present, and future into one big, corrupted mess.Our intrepid hosts are dropped into the shoes of a really bad Secret Agent caught in the middle of this digital apocalypse, armed only with their starter Digimon. Together, they must unravel the story of Chronomon, a Digimon who claims to protect the flow of time itself but who met an untimely end at the hands of the Titans. As they travel through different zones of the Digital World — from the bustling hub town of Iliad to the tranquil underwater vibe of the Abyss — Dave and Nick must battle corrupted Digimon, restore lost memories, and unravel the secret behind the Chronomon before reality resets itself like a crashed emulator.Will Dave finally learn the difference between “Data”, “Virus” and "Vaccine"? Will Nick ever stop using the phrase “timey-wimey” during serious cutscenes? And most importantly, can the two of them survive long enough to stop a cosmic reboot that threatens both the human and digital realms?Grab your Digivice, back up your save file, and prepare for paradoxes, plot twists, and more emotional Digivolutions than you can handle — it's Digimon Story: Time Stranger, and time itself is on the line.

Ep. 352: Kleber Mendonça Filho on The Secret Agent Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. At the 2025 New York Film Festival I was fortunate enough to speak with Kleber Mendonça Filho, director of The Secret Agent. Set during the military dictatorship in 1977 Brazil, his riveting film follows a man who must go into hiding under a new identity after running afoul of a corrupt businessman. Utterly unpredictable and mingling the rhythms of daily life and survival, as well as the machinations of violent enforcers, it was a movie I was eager to talk to the director about, written as it was under the regime of Jair Bolsonaro (later rejected and convicted). We discuss the portrayal of the protagonist (played by Wagner Moura), the role of memories in capturing the time period, how geography figures into Brazil's history, the film's fascinating den-mother character (Tania Maria), and a range of his viewing—from last week to pandemic viewing under Bolsonaro to teenage years.

On episode 308 of the AwardsWatch podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello look at the competitive International Feature Film contenders and provide a preview of some of the major titles coming to the 63rd New York Film Festival. With more than 70 countries having submitted films for the International Feature Film Oscar so far, now was a good time to look at the frontrunners like Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident and The Secret Agent, the NEON dominance of them and how many can really make the final five. We also look outside of those Cannes winners for titles that could pique the voters' interest as uniquely named films have done in the past. Next up is the preview of the 63rd New York Film Festival, which begins this Friday with the opening film, Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt. After taking a critical drubbing at its Venice bow, we examine if it can rebound here in the states. Two world premieres will be a part of the festival including Anemone, the feature debut from Ronan Day-Lewis starring his three-time Oscar-winning father Daniel Day-Lewis, back on screen for the first time since 2017's Phantom Thread. At the time of recording both Sophia and I had just seen the film but were under embargo (until September 28). The Venice Golden Lion winner Father Mother Sister Brother from Jim Jarmusch is the Centerpiece film and then Bradley Cooper's third directorial effort, the stand-up comedian story Is This Thing On? will close the festival. Could this be Cooper's attempt to rein it in and silence some of the critics of Maestro? This podcast runs 1h07m. We will be back next week with xxxxx Till then, let's get into it.

Dani Dufresne is the Founder and Executive Producer of The Auxiliary Co., a creative execution firm known for bringing bold ideas to life—efficiently and without the red tape of traditional agencies. Trusted by top brands, Dani's built a reputation for flawless production and assembling world-class creative teams. We talked about all of this and more this week on the On Brand podcast. About Dani Dufresne Dani Dufresne is the badass secret agent behind some of the most jaw-dropping campaigns you've ever seen. As the brains and brawn behind The Auxiliary Co., she's the one team's call when they need to pull off high-stakes creative execution—without the bloated budgets and red tape of traditional old model agencies. With an unmatched eye for innovative approaches, high-value design, and production execution, Dani doesn't just manage a campaign's work—she makes it legendary. Whether assembling an A-list creative team, running a massive production on a shoestring budget, or stepping in to save a campaign from disaster, she delivers flawlessly and unapologetically every time. Forget the outdated agency model. Dani's way is smarter, leaner, and faster. She's here to help brands ditch the bureaucracy, hire the right people, and actually get sh*t done. If you don't know her name yet, that's because she's been too busy making everyone else look good. Industrial Color. Here's a link to the AI color tool Dani talked about. What brand has made Dani smile recently? Dani shared a recent brand collab that made her smile: the unexpected partnership between hand sanitizer brand Living Touch and Crocs. It's quirky, a little ridiculous—and totally memorable. For Dani, it's a perfect example of how brands can break through by ditching traditional influencer playbooks and instead teaming up with other brands in surprising, delightful ways. It may not make logical sense on paper, but it makes great content—and sometimes that's exactly the point. Connect with Dani on LinkedIn and The Aux Co website.
