Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
As a director, Stone has a way of merging with the point of view of his protagonists, which is to say that his films are as jittery, wired-up and fragmented as they are.

Chicago Tribune
Talk Radio is a powerful movie, but a bit self-defeating in the relentlessness with which it hammers away at its theme.

Entertainment Weekly
Yet despite its faults this is a strikingly intelligent film, which keeps its chilly grip to the end.

The Spectator
...TALK RADIO is tense, packed and crackling with life....The film is an often dazzling success. Bogosian and the cast are bravura performers; Stone a director with guts and talent...
Los Angeles Times
Oliver Stone's Talk Radio makes you laugh, makes you mad and keeps you edgily watching for the killers in the shadows.

Product Description:
Based loosely on the life of the murdered talk-radio personality Alan Berg, TALK RADIO stars monologist Eric Bogosian as the abrasive, self-loathing talk-radio host Barry Champlain. He spends his nights at Dallas station KGAB engaged in vitriolic conversations with a motley assortment of racists, anti-semites, rednecks, and all-purpose lunatics. Just having learned that his show has a chance to be picked up for national syndication, Barry seems to have ratcheted up the abuse level to new heights, worrying his co-workers. Yet while Barry's career is taking off, studio boss Dan (Alec Baldwin) angers him by trying to alter the provocative content of his show. At the same time, Barry's having problems with his girlfriend and ex-wife, Ellen (Ellen Greene). And a neo-Nazi group is making increasingly menacing calls, forcing him to the edge of a possible nervous breakdown. A compelling take on the dynamics of hate radio and the wages of narcissism, Oliver Stone's film is exceptionally well shot and acted, directed with claustrophobic concentration.
