when you think oliver stone the movie that come to mind would be his big and most controversial one like platoon and jfk and bear on the fourth of july and or natural born killer . talk radio usually doesn not . it a pretty small movie and actually . more than half the movie take place with barry champlain at his radio station talk into his mike . but believe me and this be one of oliver stone great movie and should not be miss . above all thing it a character study . barry champlain be a rude and self destructive and risk take talk radio show host who say one too many thing and start to get in trouble with his bos and his lover ( s ) and his fan and and even some nazi . he doesn not like his audience and caller and a lot of them do not like him ( eithor that or do like him and but have no idea why ) . but and at the end he say on his show represent i guess be stick with each other . see talk radio and even if you do not like oliver stone movie . you might be surprise . i sure be . my rating represent positive .
