Visible crew/equipment: At the end, the helicopter filming the shots of Dallas is blatantly visible in one of the buildings.
Talk Radio (1988)
Directed by: Oliver Stone
Starring: John C. McGinley, Leslie Hope, Ellen Greene, Eric Bogosian
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: Dan is talking to Barry about how he is the boss. In one shot, Barry is looking down with his eyes wide open. In the next immediate shot, which is wider, his eyes are closed.
Other mistake: Barry is supposedly dead at the end but when the screen brightens before the shot pans up, his head wiggles a bit.
Trivia: On the second night of the show, Kent calls back. He chats with Barry, then asks to come to the station. The very next caller is a guy named Joe, who says that Kent "needs a good bust in the chops." Joe also threatens to come to the station with harmful intent. Both callers are portrayed by the same actor.
Barry: Tell me something I-I'm curious. How do you dial a phone with a straitjacket on?
Dan: Barry you should ask me before you put another guest on the show.
Barry: Why?
Dan: Because I'm your boss, that's why.
Barry: We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. HOOOO-WEEE! Jericho's Pizza, off Route 1-11 at the Jericho Turnpike, they got that pizza you'll never forget, one bite and you don't have to eat for a week. I saw a guy in there the other day combing his hair with the stuff off the plate. Jericho's Pizza.
