http://www.elclandelanostalgia.blogspot.com/
Talk Radio is a 1988 film, starring Eric Bogosian as a controversial "shock jock". It is directed by Oliver Stone, and is based in combination on the play by Eric Bogosian and Tad Savinar and on the real life murder of radio host Alan Berg by Neo-Nazis, which was chronicled in the book, Talked to Death: The Life and Murder of Alan Berg by Stephen Singular.

Plot summary

Barry Champlain, a Jewish radio personality in Dallas, Texas, is a host with a sense of humor and a knack for cutting people down and having controversial, often libertarian political views.

Champlain's radio show is about to go nationwide. A former suit salesman, he achieves his rise to fame through a guest shot on the Jeff Fisher radio show. He is subsequently given his own show. Barry has a substantial number of hostile callers trying to intimidate him and sometimes receives threatening fan mail, such as when one caller makes a bomb threat. His rise to fame is accompanied not only with attention from radical elements, but also with the alienation of his wife. Barry eventually vents his emotions on the audience, telling them how much he despises them.

Yeah he's in it as the engineer or whatever. Talk Radio is an awesome movie! It would've been probably more well known if Rain Man didn't come out at the same time.
