Podcast appearances and mentions of Wagner Moura

Convidada: Isabela Boscov, jornalista e crítica de cinema. A cerimônia do Oscar 2026, marcada para este domingo (15), será a primeira em que o Brasil concorre em cinco categorias. “O Agente Secreto” terá quatro chances de vencer uma estatueta: Melhor Filme, Melhor Filme Internacional, Melhor Seleção de Elenco e Melhor Ator, com Wagner Moura. A quinta indicação brasileira é de Adolpho Veloso, que concorre a Melhor Fotografia pelo filme americano "Sonhos de Trem". A torcida brasileira espera que se repita o mesmo roteiro do Oscar de 2025, quando "Ainda Estou Aqui", de Walter Salles, venceu como Filme Internacional – e deu ao país sua primeira estatueta por uma produção 100% nacional. A expectativa se justifica a partir do desempenho de “O Agente Secreto” no circuito de premiações, onde colecionou vitórias inclusive no Globo de Ouro, no Critics Choice Awards e no Festival de Cannes. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery recebe Isabela Boscov, jornalista e crítica de cinema, para analisar as chances reais de novas estatuetas para o Brasil. Boscov comenta a trajetória e a campanha do filme de Kleber Mendonça Filho em Hollywood e destaca a atuação de Wagner Moura, que conquistou a crítica internacional. Ela também aponta quem são os grandes favoritos para levarem os prêmios nas principais categorias do Oscar.

CW: Spoilers for The Secret Agent.Writer and podcaster Gus Lanzetta joins us from São Paulo for a deep dive into two recent works of the great Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho.We explore how the northeastern coastal town of Recife serves as a lifelong muse for the director, starting with his 2023 personal "audio-visual essay," Pictures of Ghosts, which maps the fading movie palaces of his youth.That film sets the stage for his newest period piece, The Secret Agent, a “hangout thriller” set in 1977 starring Wagner Moura as a man on the run in Recife during the military dictatorship. Gus helps decode the local nuances for the non-Brazilians in the audience, explaining the historical "mischief" the film depicts, its powerful themes of memory, family and resistance and why Kleber is a director you just have to trust.Plus: is Toronto's Matt Johnson Canada's answer to Kleber?Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Pete and Joseph finish the last of the Best Pictures nominees as they review the Wagner Moura 70's thriller, The Secret Agent. While the name may be misleading, and the themes and historical details may go over the heads of Amercian audiences, this moody atmospheric film will take you to a time and place that you may have never given a second thought, and you'll be better off for it.

They discuss the ways in which writer/director Kleber Mendonça Filho created the feeling of being present in Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s, Wagner Moura's performance in the leading role, the ways in which its political commentary feels timely in 2026 and much more!

The Analysis crew returns for their annual Oscars extravaganza, and this year the stakes are high. Matt shows up in full Elphaba costume after losing alast years bet. What's on the line this year? The loset has to go full chili dog hot dog experiment like Liam Neeson in Naked Gun, all while painted as "Hot Frankenstein Jacob Elordi. Bob is cautiously optimistic about the Academy for the first time in years, and Hollywood correspondent Spencer Davis joins live from the chaos of Oscar weekend to break down one of the most unpredictable races in recent memory. Across a packed slate of categories, the trio debates the biggest battles of the night—from the Sinners vs. One Battle After Another showdown for Best Picture, to a wild Best Actor race featuring Timothée Chalamet, Michael B. Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Wagner Moura. They dive deep into the craft categories, argue about the chaotic shorts races that make or break ballots, and break down why this year's nominations represent a rare mix of blockbuster spectacle and intimate filmmaking. Along the way, they discuss the potential career-crowning Oscar for Paul Thomas Anderson, the cultural impact of K-Pop Demon Hunters, the emotional devastation of this year's documentary lineup, and why some races might come down to pure momentum in the final days of voting. It's predictions, debates, hot takes, and Oscar chaos—plus a few existential questions like: Should PTA have won years ago? Is Timothée Chalamet his own worst enemy? And what role would Philip Seymour Hoffman have played in One Battle After Another? Grab your ballots and settle in—because by the end of the episode, the guys lock in their picks for every major category before the biggest night in Hollywood.

"Sinners" set the record for most Oscar nominations with 16. "One Battle After Another" isn't far behind with 13. "One Battle" was considered the early favorite for many awards, but "Sinners" has been coming on strong during awards season. Which film will win the night?

Eu recebi o Douglas Batata para tomar um café e conversar sobre o que a gente achou que era um plano. O Batata é meu amigo e a gente sentou com dois microfones na mesa para falar sobre as coisas que ocupam a cabeça de quem trabalha com audiovisual e não tem muito mais o que fazer. Nós começamos falando do Wagner Moura. Ele é um brasileiro em Hollywood, o que já é um assunto, mas a gente acabou derivando para uma questão física. Eu não entendo por que todo filme de época agora exige que o protagonista tenha um abdômen impossível. Parece que decidiram que o sofrimento histórico só combina com um personal trainer do lado, o que não faz o menor sentido se você pensar na história de verdade. Depois o Stanley Kubrick apareceu na conversa. Ele sempre aparece quando duas pessoas ficam tempo demais sentadas numa mesa tentando parecer inteligentes. E o assunto acabou escorregando para o caso do Jeffrey Epstein. Nós não somos detetives e não fizemos um documentário, apenas reconhecemos que tudo aquilo é muito estranho e seguimos com a nossa vida. Também tentamos entender a Sabrina Carpenter e o mecanismo por trás da cultura pop atual. Nós não chegamos a conclusão nenhuma, o que eu acho que é a forma mais honesta de terminar uma conversa sobre esse assunto. E falamos também sobre atores de sessenta anos que namoram mulheres de vinte, porque isso acontece o tempo todo e alguém precisava dizer que é curioso. Eu coloco essas conversas aqui porque é o que eu faço. Se você gosta de ouvir duas pessoas falando a verdade sobre cinema e tanquinhos impossíveis, você pode assistir a este vídeo. Ou pode mandar para um amigo seu que gosta do Kubrick ou do Wagner Moura. Ou para os dois.

We start with the critically acclaimed Brazilian thriller The Secret Agent. Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, it stars the brilliant Wagner Moura as a man on the run navigating the heights of Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s. It's a masterclass in tension and atmosphere.Fun Flix Fact: To achieve its stunning, retro look, the film was shot in anamorphic Panavision, the same format used for 1970s classics. The director even included a "two-faced cat" as an omen—a nod to Brazil's own dual reality of the past and the future.The Ghostface mask is back! We're reviewing the latest instalment of the legendary slasher franchise. Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, and this time, the stakes are personal as her daughter becomes the target.Fun Flix Fact: This is the first film in the entire franchise to be directed by Kevin Williamson, the man who actually wrote the original Scream (1996)! After 30 years of producing and writing, he finally stepped behind the camera to bring the Woodsboro story full circle.Finally for our main reviews, we're heading to the 19th-century Caribbean for The Bluff. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays a woman with a secret past who must protect her family when vicious buccaneers (led by a terrifying Karl Urban) invade her island.Fun Flix Fact: Priyanka Chopra Jonas performed a massive amount of her own stunts for this film. Drawing on her extensive background in Bollywood action cinema, she reportedly surprised the stunt team with her "hard-hitting physicality" during the brutal home-invasion sequences.To tie into the political intrigue of The Secret Agent, we're celebrating 20 years of the film that earned Forest Whitaker his well-deserved Oscar. We revisit the terrifying regime of Idi Amin through the eyes of his personal Scottish doctor (James McAvoy).Fun Flix Fact: Forest Whitaker was so dedicated to the role that he stayed in character as Idi Amin even when the cameras weren't rolling. He learned to play the accordion, mastered the Ugandan accent, and even met with Amin's real-life brother and former cabinet members to perfect the performance.For this week's Hidden Gem, we're recommending the epic historical musical The Testament of Ann Lee. Amanda Seyfried stars as the founding leader of the Shakers in 18th-century Manchester and America.Fun Flix Fact: This is a rare breed—a "historical musical" shot on 70mm film! It features more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous musical numbers. If you loved Amanda in Les Misérables, you absolutely cannot miss her powerhouse vocals here.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Press play for the friendliest film discussions this side of Hollywood!

On today's show, Sean and Amanda break down Maggie Gyllenhaal's fascinating new movie, ‘The Bride!,' starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. They commend the film for its ambition and vision, highlight some of its utterly confounding fatal flaws, and debate the value of projects that reimagine old source material with modern ideas and context (4:17). Next, they make a list of their favorite reimaginings and reboots of all time (42:51). Then, they revisit Kleber Mendonca Filho's ‘The Secret Agent,' starring Wagner Moura.

Finally, they cover the Oscar-nominated films for Best Documentary this year and critique the current state of the voting branch and what types of movies it rewards (1:29:26).

En el Brasil de los años 70, un profesor universitario cambia de ciudad para reunirse con su hijo, mientras es vigilado de cerca por corruptos agentes del régimen militar. Kleber Mendonça Filho escribe y dirige este filme, estrenado con una ovación en Cannes y que ha entusiasmado a la crítica y al público. Cuenta con cuatro nominaciones a los premios Oscar, incluyendo mejor película internacional, mejor película y mejor actor principal por el trabajo de Wagner Moura, quien ya ha ganado en esta categoría en Cannes y los Globos de Oro. Ya disponible en salas de cine.

The Secret Agent is one of the most celebrated international films of the year. It has been nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor. The film stars Wagner Moura and is set in Brazil in 1977, during the final years of the military dictatorship. We speak with the film's director and screenwriter, Kleber Mendonça Filho.

Katey and Chris Rosen dissect the genuine surprises from the Actor Awards, the Sinners surge, and why this is all good for Wagner Moura, too. Then they dig into the 15 films nominated across the three short film categories, and try to predict who might win — though be warned, watching the shorts is sometimes incredibly unhelpful for actually predicting who will win. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to Prestige Junkie After Party bonus episodes for just $5 a month. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to the Prestige Junkie newsletter.  Follow Katey on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow The Ankler. 

This week, we revisit one of the more psychologically charged chapters of Lost, “The Other Woman,”an episode that pulls back the curtain on Juliet Burke's complicated past among the Others. Through flashbacks, we see her uneasy relationship with Ben Linus, whose manipulative affection curdles into something far more possessive and dangerous. The episode reframes Juliet's isolation on the island—not just as survival, but as emotional imprisonment.On the island in the present timeline, tensions mount as Juliet and Jack track Charlotte and Daniel to the Tempest station, uncovering a high-stakes threat involving toxic gas. What unfolds is less about action and more about trust: Who is lying? Who is protecting whom? And can Juliet ever truly escape Ben's shadow?We discuss how the episode deepens the moral ambiguity of the Others, strengthens Juliet's arc as one of the show's most quietly resilient characters, and continues Season 4's accelerating shift toward confrontation between the survivors and the freighter team. It's a character study wrapped in a ticking-clock thriller—and a reminder that on Lost, the most dangerous weapon is emotional leverage.From the humid paranoia of a mysterious island, we pivot to the suffocating tension of urban Brazil in The Secret Agent, directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho and starring Wagner Moura—a film that has been nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Actor for Wagner Moura, International Film for Brazil and Best Casting. If Lost explores control through personal manipulation, The Secret Agent scales that tension to the political and institutional. Moura delivers a magnetic performance as a man caught between ideology and survival, navigating a system built on surveillance and quiet coercion. Mendonça Filho directs with clinical patience, letting scenes breathe just long enough for discomfort to set in.The film thrives on atmosphere—its framing tight, its sound design oppressive, its moral universe murky. Moura's performance anchors the narrative with restrained intensity; he conveys paranoia not through grand gestures, but through stillness. Every glance feels monitored. Every silence feels weaponized.In our review, we unpack how the film interrogates state power and personal complicity, why its pacing may divide audiences, and how its craftsmanship—particularly in editing and cinematography—justifies its Academy recognition. We also explore the fascinating connective tissue between the episode of Lost and The Secret Agent: both center on characters trapped inside systems that demand loyalty while eroding autonomy. It's a conversation about control—romantic, political, psychological—and about what it means to resist when resistance itself may already be anticipated.Tune in as we move from the island to the surveillance state, from Ben Linus to bureaucratic menace, and from network television intrigue to Oscar-nominated cinema. And be sure to keep coming back every week for more reviews and most Lost discussion, only on the #talkintvpodcast

¿Quién es el protagonista de "El agente secreto"? Quizá no sea, como parecería obvio, el perseguido político interpretado por Wagner Moura. La multipremiada película de Kleber Mendonça Filho es difícil de clasificar: es un thriller político, pero combina otros géneros. Tiene guiños, homenajes y capas. Y aunque se refiere a los años de la dictadura en Brasil, es una película cálida y nostálgica, en la que la presencia más poderosa es la de su director. Cine aparte sale cada dos semanas en YouTube y en plataformas de podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a BBC interview, the Ukrainian president. Volodymyr Zelensky, has accused President Putin of trying to impose a different way of life on the world, warning that the Russian leader would "not stop" at Ukraine. Also on the programme: the International Criminal Court has opened hearings to decide if the former Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, should face trial for crimes against humanity; and we speak to Wagner Moura, star of the Oscar-nominated Brazilian film The Secret Agent.(Photo: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky speaks during the 62nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) at the hotel 'Bayerischer Hof', in Munich, Germany.

Kleber Mendonça Filho dirige El Agente Secreto, seguramente el estreno más destacable de esta semana que cuenta con importantes nominaciones al Oscar y que parece que se llevará como mínimo el de mejor película internacional. La película brasileña que protagoniza Wagner Moura se las verá con los montañeros Álvaro Cervantes, Bruna Cusí y Marc Martínez en Balandrau, viento salvaje. También esta semana: terror con La maldición de Shelby Oaks y cine catastrófico con Greenland 2.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 1:45 Chandra has been going through a tough time and we've been protecting our peace. We celebrate our 20 year anniversary next week! I founded Celebitchy in February, 2006 and Chandra has worked here since late 2008.  Royals: Minutes 1:45 to 14:00 Prince Andrew was arrested at Wood Farm in Sandringhham on Thursday for "suspicions of misconduct in public office." New documents in the latest Epstein file release suggest that he traded confidential information with Epstein in a kind of quid pro quo for access to trafficked girls. Police also searched Andrew's former residence, Royal Lodge. Andrew had to be forced out of Royal Lodge earlier this month after being spotted riding his horse and waving to tourists. He was originally supposed to move out last year. In the latest cache of Epstein files it came out that Epstein had trafficked a 20-year-old woman to Prince Andrew in 2010. Andrew could face years in jail. King Charles issued a statement after Andrew's arrest saying, in part, "the law must take its course." His previous statement from February 9 was that he stands "ready to support" the police "as you would expect," and "their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse." Other family members have also said they were thinking of the victims. Charles and Queen Elizabeth's defense has been that they believed Andrew's lies. This defense falls flat when you consider that they had MI6 at their disposal. Andrew still has royal protection somehow. We learned too many things that we don't want to know about Epstein and his evil associates. We don't get into the details. I pay a segment from Zoom from last week we talked about the royals and Epstein.  Chandra hopes that Andrew has to face real consequences and thinks this may be the end of the monarchy as everyone is involved. We've heard that Prince William's charity received donations from known close associates to Epstein. Will and Kate are mishandling this despite hiring a crisis manager. William recently did a BBC interview were he talked about men's mental health. This was widely criticized as tone deaf. Oscar-nominated movies: Minutes 14 to end Chandra has seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, The Secret Agent, Bugonia, Frankenstein and half of Sentimental Value. I've seen Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, Frankenstein, Train Dreams and half of Hamnet. I didn't like Train Dreams or Hamnet, although I only saw half of Hamnet. Chandra loved Sentimental Value and says the acting is amazing. She hopes Wagner Moura wins best actor for The Secret Agent. She loathed Marty Supreme and thinks Timothee Chalamet should not win for that performance. I liked Marty Supreme a lot. My favorite movie is Sinners and I want Michael B. Jordan to win. Chandra wants Teyana Taylor to win supporting actress. This awards season has been chaotic. I also saw If I Had Legs I'd Kick You and didn't like it. Chandra liked Bugonia but mostly for the ending. She also loved Lanthimos' Poor Things and thinks Emma Stone deserved the Oscar for that.

Min 5: EL AGENTE SECRETO (4 estrellas) El agente secreto es uno de los títulos más relevantes del cine internacional reciente: con dos Globos de Oro ganados y cuatro nominaciones a los Oscar, la película del aclamado Kleber Mendonça Filho se adentra en las sombras de la dictadura militar brasileña de 1977, siguiendo a Marcelo (sublime Wagner Moura), un profesor que vuelve a Recife buscando refugio solo para descubrir que el pasado no se queda atrás. La cinta, construida no como un thriller convencional, sino como un drama político sostenido por la amenaza invisible del régimen, muestra cómo la vigilancia, la sospecha y la represión se infiltran en lo cotidiano con silencios y miradas que pesan más que los estallidos visibles. Aquí la tensión proviene menos de explosiones que de la incertidumbre constante y de un ambiente donde la libertad está siempre a punto de romperse. Min 19: GREENLAND 2 (2 estrellas) Como secuela del éxito catastrofista Greenland (2020), Greenland 2 -también conocida internacionalmente como Greenland: Migration- continúa la odisea de la familia Garrity tras sobrevivir al impacto de un cometa y cinco años de confinamiento en un búnker. Ahora, obligados a abandonar su refugio, la lucha por la supervivencia les empuja a un viaje peligroso por una Europa devastada en busca de un lugar habitable. MIn 25: LA MALDICIÓN DE SHELBY OAKS (3'5 estrellas) En la línea del terror contemporáneo, La maldición de Shelby Oaks utiliza el formato de found footage (metraje encontrado) para construir un relato inquietante de obsesión y miedo. Lo que comienza como la investigación de una pista sobre una hermana desaparecida se transforma en un descenso a lo que podría ser una amenaza demoníaca real, arraigada en traumas infantiles. Min 31: SIN CONEXIÓN (2,5 estrellas) Bradley Cooper regresa a la dirección con Sin conexión, un drama con toques de comedia que se aleja del chiste fácil para explorar la crisis emocional de una pareja de mediana edad. Protagonizada por Will Arnett y Laura Dern, la película se asienta en la representación honesta de la fragilidad humana cuando la vida familiar y los planes se desmoronan. Min 38: EL FANTASMA DE MI MUJER (2 estrellas) María Ripoll firma con El fantasma de mi mujer una comedia negra de enredos que combina humor ácido con una premisa imposible: un hombre descubre que su amante ha atropellado (accidentalmente) a su esposa y lo llama para pedir ayuda. Lo que sigue es un caos de mentiras, paranoia y situaciones cada vez más absurdas, subrayado por la ambigüedad entre realidad y delirio. Javier Rey, Loreto Mauleón y Macarena Gómez encarnan personajes que oscilan entre la culpa, el absurdo y la comedia pura, ofreciendo una película que, aunque ligera en pretensiones, es eficaz en ritmo y tono. Es cine para reír con nervio, con una reflexión implícita sobre la culpa y las consecuencias de ocultar la verdad. Mi 45: LA BODA (2 estrellas) La boda marca la ópera prima del cineasta toledano Pedro Cenjor, una propuesta íntima y delicada que gira en torno a dos personajes que aceptan un matrimonio de conveniencia para aliviar una situación económica y emocional. Aunque el acuerdo parece perfecto en papel, pronto la convivencia y las circunstancias imprevistas obligan a replantearse el significado del amor y de los compromisos humanos. Min 53: ESPECIAL BSO TRIBUTO A ROBERT DUVALL En este episodio especial rendimos homenaje a la figura irrepetible de Robert Duvall, uno de los actores más sólidos y discretamente inmensos de la historia del cine. Recorremos su trayectoria a través de algunas de las piezas musicales más evocadoras asociadas a sus películas clave, deteniéndonos no solo en la interpretación, sino en la atmósfera sonora que acompañó sus personajes y ayudó a definirlos.Desde la sobriedad moral de Tom Hagen en The Godfather, con la inolvidable partitura de Nino Rota como telón de fondo, hasta la inquietante presencia de Boo Radley en To Kill a Mockingbird, donde la música de Elmer Bernstein subrayaba la inocencia y la sombra del sur profundo. Recordamos también su transformación en coronel Kilgore en Apocalypse Now, rescatando uno de los temas setenteros más emblemáticos, el The End de Los Doors.

Want to know the story of how Chris Hewitt almost stepped on Florence Pugh's dress? Well, this isn't the podcast for you, as it features Chris and Helen O'Hara trying to tell that tale, from the press night of Cynthia Erivo's Dracula (sorry, Draclier), only to get sidetracked by a dozen different things and forget to finish it. But if you want to hear Chris, Helen, James Dyer, and John Nugent talk about movie characters falling from great heights, pay tribute to the great Robert Duvall, discuss the latest The Mandalorian And Grogu trailer, and review The Secret Agent, Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die, Wasteman and If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, this is the podcast for you. Oh, and Chris and Helen launch new careers as theatre reviewers too. Guest-wise, Harry Stainer talks to the Oscar-nominated star of the Brazilian thriller, The Secret Agent, one Wagner Moura, and his director, Kleber Mendonça Filho. It's a cracking episode, even if we're still nowhere nearer to finding a nickname for Tin Jim. Enjoy.

The Secret Agent, a political thriller set in 1977 about a researcher trying to escape the country for unknown reasons, is just the latest film from Brazil to gain critical acclaim.

Moura's central performance holds audiences in the precarious situation with him. The film has been nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best International Feature, Best Lead Actor (Wagner Moura), and Best Achievement in Casting.

Siguen llegando a la cartelera las últimas películas nominadas a los Oscar que quedaban por estrenar. Y esta semana es el turno de 'El agente secreto', el thriller del brasileño Kleber Mendonça Filho con Wagner Moura que mezcla thriller setentero, cine de espías y hasta una pierna asesina para hablar de la memoria histórica. La que se ha quedado fuera de la temporada de premios ha sido 'Sin conexión', la tercera película de Bradley Cooper ambientada en la escena del stand up comedy de Nueva York. Además, tenemos una película de animación fantástica, como 'Little Amelie', y muchas propuestas del cine español como 'El fantasma de mi mujer', 'Balandrau' o 'Las líneas discontinuas'. En televisión, escuchamos al maestro italiano Marco Bellocchio por el estreno de 'Portobello' y a Pol Rodríguez y elenco de 'Ravalear', la serie española estrenada en la Berlinale.

En una semana en la que el cine nacional e internacional llega muy fuerte, en De película nos rendimos ante uno de los fenómenos del año, una de espías que ha arrasado en festivales y está nominada en los Óscar, su título, El agente secreto de Kléber Mendonça Filho, protagonizada por Wagner Moura. Intriga, drama, memoria histórica, un retrato crudo y envolvente de la represión bajo la dictadura militar brasileña en 1977. También nos quitamos el sombrero ante la película de animación Little Amélie, de Maïlys Vallade y Liane-Cho Han Jin Kuang, u,n viaje al alma de japón de la mano de una niña de tres años, que no es otra que la escritora belga Amélie Nothomb quien reflejó su infancia en el exitoso libro Metafísica de los tubos.En cuanto al cine nacional nos detenemos en dos de las películas que llegan a la cartelera: El fantasma de mi mujer, la nueva comedia de María Ripoll, una comedia romántica rozando el thriller, protagonizada por Loreto Mauleón, Javier Rey y María Hervás, y La boda, la ópera prima de Pedro Cenjor, protagonizada por Elena Furiase y Daniel Chamorro. Una película diferente, no es una comedia al uso, pero tampoco un drama como tal.

Todo esto además del resto de la cartelera, las mejores series con Pedro Calvo y las secciones habituales.Escuchar audio

Realizado por Kléber Mendonça Filho e protagonizado por Wagner Moura, o filme tem um elenco maravilhoso, uma qualidade absurda e traz um Brasil dos anos 1970 de maneira única.

Afinal, o que tem de brasileiro ali? Aquela Recife retratada existe? O que é e qual a origem da lenda da Perna Cabeluda? O que é a La Ursa e o que ela quer? Qual a mensagem clara que O Agente Secreto traz? Pra fechar, sabia que tem livro?

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! Direto da Rua 13 de Maio, na Bela Vista, David de Tarso vestiu a camisa da folia (e os óculos escuros) para mostrar o clima do tradicional bloco 'Os Esfarrapados'. O ex-BBB Eliezer gerou polêmica nas redes sociais ao reclamar dos altos valores que sua família vem gastando com supermercado. 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. Essas e outras notícias você confere no Morning Show.

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.

Wagner Moura doesn't compromise when it comes to doing work that feels meaningful and aligned with his values. That much is clear in the politically-charged Brazilian film, "The Secret Agent," for which he's earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He spoke with Rachel about getting better with age, the sacredness of performing onstage and why he's made seeking joy a priority.To listen sponsor-free and support the show, sign up for Wild Card+ at plus.npr.org/wildcardLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
