About this item

  • Academy Award-winning writer/director Oliver Stone brings shock radio to the screen in this relentlessly fast-paced suspense thriller.

Barry and his "fans" - the lonely, the angry and the dangerous - know that talk is not cheap, and words can kill.

Another great album of Copeland's music

Sting and Andy Summers, after The Police breakout were releasing album after album to great acclaim, Stewart decided to do film scores. While it was what he always wanted, the result is not so good for the listener. Film soundtracks rarely receive the same level of attention that regular records do. That (and untraditional approach to music) stop Stewart's film scores from being well-known. Also, limited number of CD's were released, so, if you (by some chance) like Copeland's music, you'll have hard time finding it. Talk Radio/Wall Street OST is a real gem. All of the compositions were written and performed by the ex-Policeman. The number of tracks is 11, and they are quite lengthy - also good. And the price is MUCH LESS than 50 something dollars :P So, if you are a fan of Stewart's eccentric musical style (like I am), buy this CD right now!!! Read more

Difference of opinions

First of I love talk radio always have. I saw this on tv many years ago and thought it was great. After purchasing it a few weeks ago! It just didn’t seem as good as I remembered (smh) perhaps I was younger then I’m not sure. All in all it’s still not a bad movies as good as anything on tv these days. Read more

The Finest Display Of Eric Bogosian's Acting Prowess!

As Barry Champlain, Eric nailed this part! In my youth, I also had a bug up my butt to be a talk radio host, ranting and raving over too many not-fully-evolved sea monkeys gummin' up the works on this spinning cosmic rock. Read more
