Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura Series: Returning to Directing with Last Night at the Lobster
The Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura Series has dedicated some of its analyses to films and television series featuring Wagner Moura, the Brazilian star who recently won an award at Cannes. Among the projects analyzed are undoubtedly Narcos—in which Moura plays Pablo Escobar, perhaps his most famous role—Elysium, Elite Squad, and Secret Agent. But Wagner Moura is certainly no ordinary actor, and we're not referring solely to his acting skills or his ability to immerse himself deeply in the characters he plays.

Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura Series: Future Projects and Return to Directing
We all still have in our minds Wagner Moura's exhilarating performances in Narcos and other film projects he starred in, such as the recent Secret Agent (for which he also won a major award).

Tyler, The Creator’s Evolution and the Reckoning of His Early Shock Value by NWO Sparrow When I saw people criticizing Tyler, The Creator again, I understood why some folks felt frustrated. A conversation started online about whether he built an anti-Black fanbase, and things got heated fast. The backlash came after some of his fans disrespected Tyler’s tribute to the late soul legend D’Angelo. That moment said a lot about how his early shock-driven era still lingers in people’s minds.

Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura Series: His Atypical Role in Sergio
Very often, great actors are asked to temporarily abandon their distinctive style to play certain types of characters, to fit into a narrative that apparently requires entirely different qualities or acting skills. True mastery, from this perspective, lies precisely in knowing how to interpret roles that at first glance appear in no way suited to one's acting history or style.

Smashing the Center Stage: Bad Bunny, ASL, and the Refusal to Shrink
Bad Bunny might perform at the Super Bowl. In Spanish. And people are mad. Not because he’s untalented—he’s one of the most streamed artists on the planet. Not because he’s irrelevant—he’s collaborated with everyone from Drake to J Balvin and is a global cultural icon. They’re mad because he’s not singing in English.

D'Angelo
In the world of soul and R&B, few names command as much reverence as D'Angelo. The Virginia-born singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist is a true artist's artist, a figure whose influence far outweighs his relatively small discography. However, this very mystique and his periods away from the spotlight have often led to confusion and concern among fans. Recently, searches like "d'angelo died," "d angelo dead," and "d'angelo 2025" have spiked, causing alarm. It's crucial to set the record straight: The musician D'Angelo is alive.
