From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

Jesse Eisenberg's Oscar-nominated A Real Pain follows two Jewish cousins who traveled to Poland

as a tribute to their late grandmother, who had survived the Holocaust.

Eisenberg, of Polish descent himself, has enjoyed getting to know his ancestral homeland,

and recently got Polish citizenship.

Given the state of play in this country, I asked him whether he ever considers leaving the U.S.

for Poland.

I feel like I'm very lucky to be able to be more helpful during these times rather than to escape.

I don't even know what I would do.

You stop reading American news because you live in Poland.

I don't know.

Times like this just remind me of how fortunate I am that I can be somebody who could help rather than somebody

who needs it. Jesse Eisenberg talks about the challenges of capturing the complicated feelings of

the descendants of Holocaust survivors, while still including humor. He also tells us how Emma Stone,

a producer on his film, has been one of the most important supporters of his writing career.

And we talk about the special relevance that Medanek, the concentration camp, the two cousins visit in the film, has for me.

But first we banter. Stick around. It's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my buddy in banter. Matt Bellany.

Hello, Matt.

Hi there.

So people have been watching with bated breaths in this situation involving Paramount, Shari

Redstone, and Trump.
