talk radio is of course and probably not the most well known of stone films and but do not let that put you off and this film is ripe for discovery and i defy anyone not to be entranced by it. along with the best performance of 80 cinema by eric bogosian and for me (along with jfk)this remains stone finest moment. stone doesn not seem to comment much on it these days and do not do a director commentary on dvd like all his other films. stone has nothing to be ashamed of and most directors would kill to get a shot @ a film like this. the claustrophobia of the studio is intense and the opinions of champlain are still very crucial arguments for today. the legalise all drugs speech is powerful and you might find yourself agreeing with him. in my opinion the film is about freedom of speech and how sometimes people do not like hearing things they do not agree with. the speeches and conversations with the listeners are very compelling and even disturbing and a chill ran down my spine when a crazed man calls champlain saying he has to rape again because the city drives him crazy is totally shocking. the tension is sometimes unbearable with a scene when heavy metaller kent becomes unhinged and of course champlain does himself no favours by ridiculing him. champlain(or should i say bogosian) is fearless in film and performance and totally mesmerising and a shame th@ bogosians other big role was the villain in under siege 2(dear god. )one scene th@ do not ring true was when barry boss dan(alec baldwin) gets him to calm down and barry doesn not seem to be the kind of person who shuts up and does as he told and it seemed a bit contrived and clichéd. the scenes outside the studio are criticised for being too formulaic and it true because stone is trying to make the film more cinematic and allow the viewer to see champlains beginnings but it doesn not entirely work. it is a brilliantly cinematic film with extreme close ups and deep focus and extremely fast cuts a fantastic 360 set which is used for the final breathtaking monologue. must see cinema and it makes it rare because it was ignored @the time but is now receiving attention again which it so richly deserves. a classic th@ should be studied by generations of film students. positive for inventive use of bad to the bone before t2 and brilliant supporting cast including john c mcginley(dr cox from scrubs) as the sleazy stu and leslie hope(24)as champlains girlfriend and john pankow and alec baldwin as the suits and micheal wincott who plays three roles( a very underrated actor) and the tension between the listeners and champlain which is very heart racing @ times and of course kudos to the stars bogosian and stone for such a fantastic piece of cinema. enjoy.
