The animator Loren Bouchard resisted the idea of making a “Bob’s Burgers” movie—until he made “The Bob’s Burgers Movie.” He speaks with The New Yorker’s Sarah Larson about the show’s surprising strain of optimism in dark times. Plus, Masha Gessen talks with David Remnick about the state of the war in Ukraine, both in Kyiv—where life looks normal and people refer to the war in the past tense—and just outside the capital, where devastation reigns. The historian Eric Cervini talks about “The Book of Queer” and bringing L.G.B.T.Q. history to life onscreen. And the head of the largest flight attendants’ union talks about the drive to unionize Delta Air Lines.
