Kurt Andersen and sleight-of-hand artist Ricky Jay look at American culture’s fascination with games. We listen to two poets navigate their way through a game-filled museum, explore the less-than-innocent world of schoolyard rhymes, and hear about how film school grads shot their entire opus in a video game. Plus a California metronome festival, a historian weighs in on movie theater design, and an appreciation of album cover artist James Rizzi.
