"I grew up in a conspiracy about it was Russia was behind everything," he said. "There has been obviously conspiratorial thinking in this country and it's part of the American way" Stone: I'd love to do one more film, but can't talk about it. He added that if he made another movie, 'not frivolous' It would be his last time being able to make a musical about nuclear power.
After a quick rundown of the summer’s hottest films, Nayeema and Kara turn to our guest today: acclaimed (and controversial) filmmaker Oliver Stone. The man behind classics like “Wall Street” and “JFK” has turned his lens to climate change solutions in a new documentary, “Nuclear Now.” We discuss the good question of why there isn’t more nuclear energy in the United States, the roots of Stone’s distrust in convention, and the challenge of a world where distrust can turn into conspiracy theory.
