Have you or anyone you know noticed the name credited to the killer? I re watched it about a year ago and was still taking in the film as the credits rolled and came across it. I have no idea if that was a real name or a message of some kind from Oliver. Very interesting. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for posting this link. Stone has always been cagey when asked about Talk Radio. He seems to make every attempt in this interview to discuss all things not Talk Radio. Thankfully the interviewer kept drawing him back in.

I had read something previously about him not using all of the financing on the movie, but this does not detract from the finished product IMO.

However, the movie met its demise with the lack of promotion. I often wonder how it would have performed had they promoted it properly. This is where the extra money should have gone, not in their pockets. Bogosian should have won an Oscar for his performance. It blows my mind every time I watch it.

Saw this movie again last night and enjoyed it as much as ever. Glad to see it is still being discussed many years later.
