80s Movies That Need Another Look: Talk Radio

Talk Radio (1988) This is a dramatized version of real-life events around the life and murder of radio talk show host Alan Berg. Initially produced as a play by Eric Bogosian, this movie was directed by Oliver Stone and has lots of familiar faces. It chronicles the rise and ultimate death of a radio personality and while it is set in the 1980s, it’s amazing to hear the callers on the show discussing many issues relevant to today. Strong performances and themes that still ring true today make this worth another look or even a first look. It is available to rent on Prime Video.
