Alright, class, take out your pencils and pay attention, because your hosts are about to take you to school. Today's subject? The film world's King of Controversy - the rebel, the maverick, the lunatic, the visionary... Oliver Stone. Before he became a Hollywood pariah, this director won Academy Awards, made boffo bucks at the box office, and challenged his audience with films that made them re-examine the foundations of the United States of America. But as his views and ideas became more extreme, so did the vitriol spewed at his films. Your professors today, John Bring with special guest Daryn Beasley (The Whole Ref'n Show), will examine the artistic, cultural, and historical contexts of the films of Oliver Stone and the impact he has made on film (and the world at large). So open your mind and prepare for a fever dream of Vietnam flashbacks, the JFK assassination, Native American Shamans, predators, patriotism, virtue, vice, and the fall of Camelot. Take notes, there WILL be a quiz on Here's Why It's Great!
