Hill always wanted to be a writer and director, but an unexpected complement in an acting class shifted him towards performing instead. He co-starred in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street,’ ‘Superbad,’ and ‘Moneyball.’ Now he’s written and directed his first movie, ‘Mid90s,’ about a group of young skateboarders. He talks about toxic masculinity, self-acceptance, and his experience directing for the first time.

Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews ‘Let The People See,’ the story of Emmett Till.
