Today, we're honored to welcome three-time Oscar® winner Oliver Stone on the show, a monumental figure in the world of cinema. Stone's work as a writer, director, and producer has seen his films nominated for forty-two Oscars®, winning twelve.

Stone views his movies as "dramas about individuals in personal struggles" and sees himself as a dramatist, although politics feature prominently in his works. His 2008 film 'W.,' about President George W. Bush, was the first on a sitting president and completed his presidential trilogy that began with JFK and Nixon.

Our lively discussion spans his illustrious career, his interactions with Hollywood, his Vietnam days, his screenwriting struggles, his handling of rejection, and his captivating new book 'Chasing the Light: Writing, Directing, and Surviving Platoon, Midnight Express, Scarface, Salvador, and the Movie Game.'

'Chasing the Light' is a candid memoir where Stone, now 73, recounts his complex New York upbringing, combat experience, and the trials and triumphs of his iconic films. The memoir also offers a real insider's view of Hollywood's tumultuous years in the 70s and 80s.

Our talk reveals that Stone's journey, despite his success, has been a constant fight. I hope his story inspires filmmakers and screenwriters to persist, just as Stone did, never surrendering. As Oliver puts it,

"You're either born crazy, or you're born boring."

Enjoy my engaging conversation with Oliver Stone.
