From WHYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley in Los Angeles. Today, Spanish filmmakers Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrosi. They've turned an unfinished play by a gay poet murdered during Spain's Civil War into a sweeping epic. Their film La Bola Negra tells the stories of men whose love could cost them their freedom, even their lives. Javier Ambrosi says those stories deserve to be told on a grand scale. Та ви ванти то мик бік і епік и ви вантамики бол. Because we don't have that many stories.

Also New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. And Jason Adam Katzenstein talk about their new book The Two Saddest Kitchens. Usually when we get together, we discuss things like death, anxiety, scary movies. But today All we can do is
