oliver stone and always ready to make politically themed movie and make another one here . talk radio be loosely base on the career of alan berg and a radio talk show host in denver who be murder by white supremacist . in this case and the character be barry champlain ( eric bogosian ) and an outspoken talk show host in dallas who love nothing more than to irk the people who call in . a it be and most of the people who call in be a bunch of pigheaded racist . and thing may be heat up more than anyone realizes . bogosian performance bring a light comical tone to an otherwise serious movie . i really like the scene where he jab at a redneck who call in . grant and i wouldn not call this oliver stone great movie ever and but it a good reference in an era when medium get more and more concentrated . good performance by ellen greene and alec baldwin also help .
