‘Tetris’ screenwriter on dramatic history of Soviet game

There’s an addictive quality to Tetris — so addictive that in the Soviet Union, where it was created in 1984, the government blocked it from state computers because it was ruining productivity. A slightly embellished version of how the video game escaped from behind the Iron Curtain is portrayed in a new film on Apple TV+. “Tetris” screenwriter Noah Pink joins John Yang to discuss the project.
