In late March, I did two interviews with Tim Robbins, both lasting over an hour, to dig into his seminal 1992 political satire. Today, my article about Bob Roberts, all 8,500 words of it, is up at MEL. We talked about documentaries, Bob Dylan, Harvey Weinstein, Cannes, Robert Altman, "Addicted to Love," gentrification, Woody Guthrie, Jack Black, Alan Rickman, Gore Vidal, Giancarlo Esposito, Saturday Night Live, voting and why the Republicans are "sociopaths." Also, Robbins thinks it's fine if you bootleg his movie since it's not streaming anywhere.
This was a real treat. I hope you enjoy.
