In an exclusive relationship and LDR, who should be coming up with topics you can talk about?

My BF initiates the calls, but his questions are either "how are you?" and "what are you doing?" I ask him questions, but he gives me one-liners as a response. I start a topic, but most of the time he doesn't have anything to say except "really?" or "that's interesting." He's very interested in sex topics tho and politics, movies, and sports. These are interesting for me too, but there are times I want to talk about something interesting I recently learned about. But, yeah, his responses are short so the conversation just dies.
