Commentary A covers the performances, style and script of the movie. This one is the more entertaining of the two as Stone offers his personal observations on the film. He has a wicked sense of humour and, as always, isn’t afraid to speak his mind. For example, during the scene between Nixon and Helms, Stone mentions that Helms is the one person he’d like to interview in-depth regarding the Kennedy murders and the secrets of the country, but only if the filmmaker could utilize all sorts of "torture techniques" as he wryly puts it.

Commentary B delves into the politics and history of the period. This one is good in its own right as Stone discusses a lot of information that the film assumes the audience already knows and identifies who is who and their function in the narrative. This is extremely helpful as it is very easy to lose track of who everyone is in this rather large and diverse cast. This commentary may be of more interest to history buffs but Stone saves it from being dull to the casual viewer.

Too many gaps of silence make these two commentary tracks difficult to listen to in one go. I wish they'd describe the commentary tracks instead of labelling them "A" and "B".
