The new film “Snowden,” which stars Joseph Gordon Levitt as NSA leaker Edward Snowden, is out Friday. To coincide with the premiere, as well as filmmaker Oliver Stone’s seventieth birthday, TV and film critic Matt Zoller Seitz has put out a 480-page coffee-table book on Oliver Stone. The book is based on 100 hours of interviews, and it includes parts of Stone’s screenplays, storyboards, personal photos and correspondence. The title is “The Oliver Stone Experience,” and Zoller Seitz joins Press Play to talk about how, after four decades making films, Oliver Stone still wants to “outrage people, wake them up.”
