Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin, who these days may be best known for his depictions of President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” joins Kurt Andersen to discuss how he has played many villains in his career, and their points of view might best be summarized by the words of the “Boss Baby” character he voices: “I poop. They wipe. I’m the boss.”

Filmmaker Taika Waititi, who is best known for his low-budget comedies like “Eagle vs. Shark,”  talks about how he managed to inject his dry wit, and knack for improvisation into his big-budget superhero movie, “Thor: Ragnarok.” And Eve Ewing talks about the many hats she wears: poet, sociologist, artist and Twitter star.
