John Turturro and Winona Ryder on the horrors of eugenics and being stared down by Philip Roth

John Turturro really knows his history. Asked by us in the clip above for some thoughts about why America is so quick to forget its semi-recent history in relation to the forthcoming HBO series The Plot Against America, Turturro went on a tear about anti-semitism, war, life, death, and everything in between, all with references. He’s joined by the similarly well read Winona Ryder, and Irish actor Anthony Boyle, who might have a few things to say about living in a country that’s been through some shit. Turturro also spins a charming story about being stared down by Plot author Philip Roth, bushy brows and all. Get out your reading list and have a pen at the ready..
