Podcasts about secret agents

My wife and I watched The Secret Agent the other night. We really enjoyed it, and we were also a bit puzzled by it. The acting performances were impressive, leaving us with a clear impression that this wasn't just another movie. And yet, we also noticed that the meaning of the movie wasn't necessarily easy to grasp for anybody stepping into the experience of watching it. I share more about this here and the takeaways I had from that reflection. I hope you find it insightful. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

This week, we're reviewing The Secret Agent — a gripping thriller set against the vibrant yet unsettling backdrop of 1977 Brazil during Carnival season. The film follows Marcelo, a technology teacher who flees São Paulo for Recife in hopes of escaping his violent past and starting over.

Solomon Wilcots is joined by Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic to break down the behind-the-scenes story of Cincinnati's blockbuster trade for Dexter Lawrence — a move that required Bengals ownership to do something they've never done before: deal a top-10 pick for a proven veteran while taking on significant future salary cap obligations. Dehner reveals how B.J. Hill served as the secret agent in landing Lawrence, recruiting his longtime friend the night before the trade was finalized, and explains why the three-year, $70 million deal is a genuine bargain for a player motivated to prove himself in a change of scenery.

There is something inside each of us that wants to be noticed and appreciated.  We want others to think highly of us. We want to be respected.  And that's not all bad. This morning, Jesus gives us a warning. He wants us to be careful not to say “Look at me,” when we should be pointing others to Him. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Good evening. Welcome back to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Also: his top three favorite methods of being a hideous creep at parties!Spies and bystanders, codes and MacGuffins, the Scottish Highlands to the Swiss Alps to Picadilly Circus, this episode finds Hitch sharpening the Hitchcockian thriller to a fine point, as well as discarding some truly useless pencil shavings!0:00 - 0:35 - Intro Music0:36 - 1:35:56 - The 39 Steps (1935)1:35:57 - 2:06:51 - Secret Agent (1936)2:06:52 - 2:58:11 - Sabotage (1936)2:58:12 - 3:22:34 - Young & Innocent (1937)3:22:35 - 3:23:46 - Outro Music

Are you a secret agent? No, not the cool James Bond kind. We are talking about the Realtor kind who hides behind postcards, online leads, and busy work instead of actually talking to real people. We keep getting messages from agents who are spending thousands of dollars on lead generation, farming, and marketing while avoiding the one thing that actually works: being visible. So we are revisiting this topic because clearly, y'all need to hear it again. We start with a really honest message from a listener who spent $6,500 on a lead generation program that produced zero leads. She has been in the business since 2018, does about $8 million a year, and she is the first to admit that fear made that decision for her. She did not want to put herself out there, so she threw money at a solution that did not require her to talk to real humans. We also share a story about an agent who is incredibly involved at her kids' school but will not tell anyone she is in real estate out of fear of being salesy. Whether you are an introvert, an extrovert, or somewhere in between, this episode is your permission slip to stop hiding and start showing up. We are breaking down the fears that keep agents invisible, sharing baby steps for shy agents, and giving you the mindset shift that changes everything: you are not being salesy, you are being of service. Here's what we cover in this episode: The real cost of being a "secret agent" in your own real estate business A listener's honest story about spending $6,500 on lead gen that produced zero leads The four biggest fears keeping agents hidden and how to move past them Why introverts can absolutely thrive in real estate The difference between going wide and going deep with your database Why people in your neighborhood are hiring other agents  Salesy vs. service: the mindset shift that changes everything How to naturally tell people what you do without being "that" agent Baby steps for shy agents: update your bio, tell five people what you do, post one thing about real estate Why your hobbies, school involvement, and community events are your best lead gen A roofing company sponsor story that proves advertising your business is not embarrassing The one thing you can do this week to stop being a secret agent Key Quotes & Takeaways: "You can't sell houses without people." Alissa "The judgment is usually imaginary. People are not thinking about you as much as you think. They're thinking about themselves." Katy "When you tell people what you are, they believe you. So be careful what you say about yourself." Alissa "The important mindset shift is going from 'I'm annoying people' to 'I'm available to help.'"

The Movies…. Are back. The Mindset….Continues. Bet you thought we had forgotten? Will and Hesse get in right under the gun for another Movie Mindset Oscars Special. Our two professional film critics and acclaimed indie film stars discuss this year's finest offerings from Tinsel Town and debate which among them deserves to be immortalized with that finest of names “Oscar.” Will PTA finally have his crowning moment of glory this year or will it be One Disappointment After Another for the wunderkind director as he's snubbed yet again… Who will win the ideological battle over fascism this year? Will it be The Secret Agent, which maintains that fascism is bad or F:1 which stands for Fascism = #1? Is having a parent evil, or is being a parent evil? And Is it better to exist or not to? Films like this year's Frankenstein, Sentimental Value and Hamnet all delve into this tricky and universal human dilemma. The Best Actor race is among the tightest in recent memory with many industry insiders saying it's going to come down to Michael B Jordan playing a set of twins who are divided over eating pussy and becoming a vampire and Timothee Chalamet who plays an arrogant, pushy Jewish guy who gets everything he wants and conquers the world. Will and Hesse discuss all this and more! Also Train Dreams? Place your bets NOW on which of this year's movies will win, and which ones each of these professional film critics still haven't seen!

This week we're in hygge mode, uncovering traumas in our generational home with the host of This Had Oscar Buzz, Joe Reid! One of the breakout Oscar films of the year is Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value, a warm, realist Norwegian film about a difficult but brilliant director (Stellan Skarsgard), his two daughters (Renate Reinsve and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), and an American actress cast in the auteur's new film (Elle Fanning). All four performances earned Oscar nominations, along with nominations for Best Picture, Best International Feature, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. Sentimental Value also highlights a recurring phenomenon in Hollywood, wherein the Academy will pass over a director's breakout film but shower the follow-up with nominations. In Trier's case, his previous film The Worst Person in the World received nominations for Best International Film and Original Screenplay but, in our opinion, deserved many more. We try to break down how and why this happens, whether films about filmmaking have an innate appeal to Oscar voters, how Fanning's star power helps bridge the international gap for voters, and the film itself, including its deft intermingling of artistic expression and sublimated generational trauma.  With Joe's guidance, we also check in on some of the Oscar-buzziest films of the year that didn't pan out, check in on the state of the acting category race and some potential upsets, and celebrate The Secret Agent's breakout star Tânia Maria and her new role as Burger King spokeswoman.

Viva Brazil! Today we discuss Best Picture nominee The Secret Agent, the simmering, colorful Brazilian thriller about a man on the run, starring the dreamy Wagner Moura and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho. The story, about retaining personal and political memory under authoritarianism, has proven resonant with an international audience and awards bodies, garnering three additional Oscar nominations for Best International Feature, Best Casting, and Best Actor for Moura. On this episode, we discuss The Secret Agent itself, how it fits into and subverts the tropes of international films at the Oscars, the Eurovision-like process for international nominations, check in on the Berlin Film Festival, and do a very special Il Postino corner.

What can we learn from other countries that have lived through dictatorships? How can artists fight authoritarianism? How should an Oscar nominee react to an encounter with ICE on the way to the Academy Awards? Alex Wagner is joined by actor and filmmaker Wagner Moura, star of the Oscar-nominated The Secret Agent — a thrilling, beautiful film set during Brazil's military dictatorship. You may also remember Moura as Pablo Escobar from Narcos. Wagner and Wagner discuss the political parallels between Brazil and the United States, what Alex Pretti's killing teaches us about masculinity, and the Trump administration's distorted response to violence in the streets. They also talk about the importance of cultural memory, what the Epstein Files say about power, Trump's reaction to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, and the gutting of The Washington Post. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett will be back in your feeds this week.
