Kurt Andersen and his guest, the playwright and film director Neil LaBute, talk about stories with a moral. They’ll discuss Labute’s new play Off Broadway, This Is How It Goes, about a man (played by Ben Stiller) who intrudes on the life of a well-to-do interracial couple. We’ll hear about an exhibition in London on Caravaggio, the greatest religious painter of the Baroque era, and a convicted murderer. And we’ll ask whether cartoons should educate kids, or just make them happy; animators, parents, critics, and children weigh in.
