<div>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 <em>The Secret Agent </em>— a thrilling, beautiful film set during Brazil’s military dictatorship. You may also remember Moura as Pablo Escobar from <em>Narcos</em>. 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 <em>The Washington Post</em>. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett will be back in your feeds this week.</div>
