Why did Kurt Anderson conduct a radio interview with Synecdoche, New York director/writer Charlie Kaufman in the middle of the dog run at Washington Square Park? Presumably, so we could have the pleasure of watching the above video, in which Kaufman tries to explain is desire “to give the world something that isn’t crap,” but is distracted when pounced on by adorable puppies. Cue Jon Brion’ “Little Person,” and watch grown men reach for the Kleenex. The full Studio 360 segment with Kaufman can be listened to here.
