The red flowered plant that shows up everywhere at this time of year–I saw a forest of them in Wegman's this morning– is called in Mexico the cuetlaxochitl, or the noche buena; but Americans know it by as the namesake of man who introduced it to the United States: poinsettia. Yet Joel Roberts Poinsett was a more interesting organism than that plant given his name. He was a South Carolinian who spent years away from the state, and was a committed nationalist and anti-nullifier; a world traveller when few Americans were; a slaveowner who other slaveowners regarded as potentially anti-slavery; an international investor who also labored for South Carolina local improvements; a diplomat who spent years if not decades trying to find a way to be a soldier. And that's leaving a few facets of his identity out.

"The Secret Agent" is a historical political thriller film written and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho that follows Armando (NYFCC Best Actor winner Wagner Moura), a former professor caught in the political turmoil of the final years of the Brazilian military dictatorship, attempting to flee persecution and resist an authoritarian, deceitful regime. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it received widespread acclaim and was the festival's most awarded film, winning the Best Actor award for Moura, the Best Director award for Mendonça Filho, the Art House Cinema Award, and the FIPRESCI Prize for Best Film. At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, it became the first Brazilian film nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama (Moura), and it also received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

We remember guitarist, songwriter, and producer Steve Cropper, who helped create the Memphis soul sound of the ‘60s and ‘70s. He died this week at age 84. Stax Records produced soul hits by Booker T. & the M.G.s, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, and more. Cropper spoke with Terry Gross in 1990 about how he became part of the house rhythm section, and went on to help write hits for Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.  Also, we remember the celebrated English playwright Tom Stoppard, who was considered a giant of theatre. He died at age 88. Stoppard wrote ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' and ‘The Real Thing,' and the screenplays for ‘Empire of the Sun' and ‘Shakespeare in Love.'Jazz historian Kevin Whitehead pays tribute to jazz organist Jimmy Smith, and John Powers reviews the new Brazilian film ‘The Secret Agent.'Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

On this special episode, Eric sits down with Kleber Mendonça Filho & Wagner Moura from NEON's The Secret Agent.

The new film "The Secret Agent" tells the story of a former professor, played by Wagner Moura, who finds himself attempting to fight back against the persecution of the authoritarian Brazilian dictatorship in 1977. Moura and writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho discuss the film, which is select theaters now.

From sabotage operations to devastating betrayals, stories of the women of Special Operations Executive are some of the most incredible stories of the Second World War – but, says Kate Vigurs, many remain little known. In her new book, Mission Europe, Vigurs reveals the astonishing bravery of such female agents operating in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, and Mandate Palestine, many of whom parachuted behind enemy lines. Speaking to Elinor Evans, she reveals how their courage and sacrifice changed the course of the war. The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.

This week's Podcast features an in-depth interview with Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho, whose latest feature, The Secret Agent, is in select theaters now. The film was a highlight of both this year's Cannes, where Mendonça won the Best Director prize, and this fall's New York Film Festival. The Secret Agent is set, like many of the director's films, in his Northeastern Brazilian hometown of Recife, in 1977—“a time of mischief,” as a title card tells us early on. Wagner Moura (Cannes Best Actor winner) plays Marcelo, a man on the run from powerful forces connected to the ruling military dictatorship, seeking refuge and possible safe passage out of the country with a ragtag group of dissidents and political exiles. The Secret Agent is an endlessly inventive, lively, and frightening excavation of the specifics of past and place. And like the filmmaker's recent work, including the scathing genre hybrid Bacurau (2019, co-directed by Juliano Dornelles) and the autobiographical documentary Pictures of Ghosts (2023), it's in thrall to the history and possibilities of cinema. Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute spoke to Mendonça about the film, his tendencies to set his stories in familiar locales, his fascination with recording technology and voices out of the past, and how he managed to blend fantasy and humor into this chilling political thriller.

Midnight Flyboys: The American Bomber Crews and Allied Secret Agents Who Aided the French Resistance in World War II by Bruce Henderson https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1668051419 Brucehendersonbooks.com 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.About the author Bruce Henderson is the author of more than twenty nonfiction books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller AND THE SEA WILL TELL, which was made into a highly-rated TV series. His latest book, SONS AND SOLDIERS: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE JEWS WHO ESCAPED THE NAZIS AND RETURNED WITH THE U.S. ARMY TO FIGHT HITLER, hit the New York Times Bestseller List in 2018. Henderson's previous books include RESCUE AT LOS BANOS: THE MOST DARING PRISON CAMP RAID OF WORLD WAR II, and HERO FOUND: THE GREATEST POW ESCAPE OF THE VIETNAM WAR, a national bestseller which told the true story of U.S. Navy pilot Dieter Dengler, with whom Henderson served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CVA-61) during Vietnam. Henderson is also the author of TRACE EVIDENCE: THE HUNT FOR THE I-5 SERIAL KILLER and FATAL NORTH: MURDER AND SURVIVAL ON THE FIRST NORTH POLE EXPEDITION. An award-winning journalist and author, he has taught reporting and writing at USC School of Journalism and Stanford University.

Today we talked to Lauren Bell, who either works at the State Department… or is the worst liar in the history of espionage. She's definitely not a spy or a secret agent. Then its off and running with: Doormats are basically tiny carpeted con artists, suddenly wants their food to look hotter than everyone else's food (FOODMO is real), the correct way to talk to a server, and how TMZ actually started. We also break down what makes something clickbait, spaghetti is for quitters, and how adding "I'll give you…" in front of literally anything instantly turns it dirty. Sad Snacks. Rapid Fire. Anxious Avoidant dependent behavior. It's a hoot. Follow us wherever you get your pods or on youtube @newbergpod https://youtu.be/J-zxpX8Xg8c  Newberg Pod with Newberg & Hannah.

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.

Flimmerfreunde machen Abstrich, also von/auf der langen Liste der Filme über die es gilt zu reden, nämlich, Nazis hassen, AMRUM mögen, brennt wie Online-Kaufhaus, knallt wie Silvester, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE, Netflix, Netflix, Netflix, nämlich auch, FRANKENSTEIN und BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER, Edward Berger, wieder und Guillermo del Toro und das Monster. Alles geil. Schrammel, schrammel, gammel, SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE, jetzt nicht nirgendwo, dafür überall und ziemlich gut. PLAY DIRTY, schiessen, ficken, morden, rauben, nicht notwendigerweise in der Reihenfolge, aber ziemlich durchgängig, Shane Black ist zurück und auf Prime und ziemlich zynisch. Räuber in lieblich und alte Schule wie Neues Hollywood, ROOFMAN. Meisterwerk aus Brasilien, THE SECRET AGENT, Liste der verdienten Preise so lang wie der Film. BUGONIA oder die Frage, was wäre wenn die Schwurbler recht hätten? Lanthimos, Yorgos, neuster Film, aktuelle Empfehlung. Dazwischen Geheimtips, die keine sind. Flimmerfreunde, der Feuersturm, der Dich warm hält.

Du bist so abgrundtief… spaßig? PREDATOR: BADLANDS überrascht, während DER MANN, DER IMMER KLEINER WURDE… immer kleiner wird. Oder BONE LAKE infernalisch endet, HOW TO MAKE A KILLING ein wenig den Fokus verliert und THE SECRET AGENT ganz schleichend fesselt. Denn das sind alles Titel, die heute im Kino starten und die von André wie Schröck unter die Lupe genommen werden. PREDATOR: BADLANDS sogar noch ein wenig mehr, denn über den und alle weiteren Filme des PREDATOR-Universums reden die beiden am Samstag noch mal ganz ausführlich mit Nadja alias Nerdzika. Vorher gibt's dann aber noch ein paar schöne Streaming- und Mediatheken-Tipps. Zum Beispiel FRANKENSTEIN, der dann jetzt auch bei Netflix startet, THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, der schon bei Disney+ gestartet ist, sowie MARIA, THE DROP: TÖDLICHES DATE und SEPTEMBER 5: THE DAY TERROR WENT LIVE. Gefolgt von DIE DREI MUSKETIERE (der aus den 90ern), DER EINZIGE ZEUGE (der mit Han Solo) oder I SEE YOU (der, zu dem man nix vorher lesen oder sehen darf) und zwei Hinweisen, die wir selbst noch nicht kennen. Zum einen MEISTER DER APOKALYPSE – ROLAND EMMERICH (eine Doku anlässlich Emmerichs 70. Geburtstag) und zum anderen SARAH KOHR - IM SCHATTEN (bei der ein Freund des Hauses mitspielt). Bei diesen und natürlich allen anderen Empfehlungen wünschen wir Euch nun genauso viel Spaß wie mit dieser Folge. Bleibt gesund wie gut drauf und hoffentlich dann bis Samstag. Cheerio.
