Coppola had directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws — whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T.</p>\n<p>In a new book, The Last Kings of Hollywood, Paul Fischer charts their rise from young, ambitious filmmakers in the 1960s to the dominant creative forces of 1970s and 80s American cinema. </p>\n<p>In this episode, he joins Anna Bogutskaya to examine how these three era-defining filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. </p>\n<p>Paul Fischer is an author, screenwriter and filmmaker. The Last Kings of Hollywood: The Battle for the Soul of American Cinema is available online and in bookstores now.</p>\n<p>Anna Bogutskaya is a film critic, programmer and author of Feeding The Monster. </p>\n<p>If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.</p>\n<p>For £4.99 per month you'll also receive:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared episodes, wherever you get your podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>- 15% discount on livestreams and in-person tickets for all Intelligence Squared events </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>... </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Or Subscribe on Apple for £4.99:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>…</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Already a subscriber?
