Why Danny McBride Makes Fun of American Men

Actor and screenwriter Danny McBride has built his career portraying immature men. From
“Eastbound and Down” to “The Righteous Gemstones,” McBride weaves satire and profanity to
comment on American culture. In his new book, “Thrilling Tales of Modern Men,” McBride offers a collection of short stories about complicated men, and asks whether we can empathize with deeply unlikeable characters. He joins us to talk about what his new book has to say about modern American masculinity.

Guests:

• Danny McBride, author, “Thrilling Tales of Modern Men;” writer, producer, and actor, “Eastbound & Down,” “Vice Principals,” and “The Righteous Gemstones”
