If you like movies, controversy, or at least seeing the world you know through the eyes of someone who doesn’t take anything at face value, you’ll love this one. On this episode, we talk to Oliver Stone, the legendary filmmaker who has given us a prolific assortment of classics from Midnight Express to Platoon to JFK to Snowden to Scarface to Natural Born Killers — and that’s just a short selection from his body of work. We cover a lot of ground in this one, from Oliver’s volunteering to serve in the Vietnam War when a lot of his contemporaries (several presidents included) did their best to avoid going, drug stories, the CIA, why the American media is partially culpable for the state of the world, interviewing Putin, and much more as chronicled in his book Chasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game.
