Pretty good drama from director Oliver Stone when he was still on top of his game. Great performances and dialogue. This is about a very successful talk show radio host that pushes the envelope on the controversial issues of the day. He is very witty, obnoxious and fast talking. This is a great vehicle for Eric Bogosian to show his talents and range and he is excellent here. Our shock jockey loves to be hated and draws the ire of a local white supremacist. This has an early appearance of Alec Baldwin and features frequent Oliver Stone collaborator John C McGinley. The film is a pretty good look at American society and brings social commentary with a cynical sense of humor. It is strange that I have not seen this film until more recently and is definitely an under rated movie for sure. Talk Radio is a cool film in my book, smart, funny and well performed.
