Customer Reviews of Talk Radio
Eric Bogosian at his Best Eric Bogsian may just be the most underated actor of our time. Eric plays an argumentitive and controversial radio talk show host in Dallas, one that was typical of the 70's and 80's AM band. This movie borrows some story line from the book "Talked to Death" which is about the late Denver host Allen Berg who was murdered. Oliver Stone brings this to us in hardcore movie fashion where on air lights are bright and groupie visitors are suspicious. This film identifies the pain behind the genius of the talk radio host by letting you into his out of control life. It's not about the shock comedy Howard Stern type talk show although much of Bogosians character is very shocking and sometimes funny. Most of all he is troubled, angry and can only be compared to the tv host of the 70s movie "Network" with Faye Dunaway. Bogosian is obsessed with the worlds faults and gives his listeners some awful tasting medicine. The actors who play the callers are interesting to say the least, as they sound so real at times expressing their discord and hurt feelings. The radio talk show type here is not trying to be funny but trying to change the world. Maybe you've heard them before. Please note that since this release both sports talk and comedy talk have succeeded. In the movie you hear an announcer say "Everybody loves to Talk". More apparently, They like to listen. The ending is predictable but still surprising. This movie is not for everybody but it's damn good!
The last neighborhood in town
One of the greatest 80's movies ever with some of the greatest lines i ever heard. My favorite scene is with Kent(Michael Wincott) who is so stoned he doesn't know what planet he's on. Then there are all the callers; Debbie, Chet, Ralph, and especially the woman who says Ted Bundy could be living next door on the porch, watching T.V. eating potato chips and i wouldn't know it. Strange Air. My favorite line: " Ralph I am curious, how do you dial a phone with a straightjacket on." Eric Bogosian is so underated it is not funny. This is one of Oliver Stone's best. One year after Wall Street, he gave us this mind blowing film. Awesome
Great movie
Intense, provocative and well acted, this film centres on talk show host who sparks a love-hate relationship with his callers who keep ringing him in despite all of the constant abuse he gives them. Naturally he starts getting death threats because he's a Jew and is about to become a big time radio personality all over America. The ending as is said here is a tad bit predictable but that doesn't make it any less shocking. A good film and I was surprised it was directed by Oliver Stone considering the pile of a mess he made of Natural Born Killers. Good and well worth your money
