TALK TO ME NOW AVAILABLE

TALK TO ME NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE TALK TO ME FROM IMDB

The true life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. In the mid-to-late 1960s, in Washington, D.C., vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness were combining to unique and powerful effect. It was the place and time for Petey to fully express himself - sometimes to outrageous effect - and "tell it like it is." With the support of his irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig. He forges a friendship and a partnership with fellow prison inmate Milo's brother Dewey Hughes. From the first wild morning on the air, Petey relies on the more straight-laced Dewey to run interference at WOL-AM, where Dewey is the program director. At the station, Petey becomes an iconic radio personality, surpassing even the established popularity of his fellow disc jockeys, Nighthawk and Sunny Jim. Combining biting humor with social commentary, Petey openly courts controversy for station owner E.G. Sonderling. Petey was determined to make not just himself but his community heard during an exciting and turbulent period in American history. As Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man speaking directly to them about race and power in America like few people ever have. Through the years, Petey's "The truth just is" style --- on - and off-air - would redefine both Petey and Dewey, and empower each to become the man he would most like to be.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE TALK TO ME FROM DVDTALK

More often than I care to admit, "Talk to Me" reminded me of the Howard Stern bio-pic, "Private Parts." Only, instead of lesbians and Baba Booey, "Talk" offers social upheaval and instants of comedy that would make Don Knotts exclaim, "That's a little too broad." It's a peculiar, persuasive take on a radio icon, yet it's barely held together long enough to fill two hours.

Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene (Don Cheadle) was a hustler and a convict who held a gift for radio that saved him from the hell behind bars. Released in the mid-60s, Greene took his act to the Washington D.C. R&B station WOL to impress uptight program director Dewey Hughes (a wonderful Chiwetel Ejiofor). Hitting the airwaves with his boundary-pushing candor, Greene was an instant smash in the depressed community, starting him on a long career of fame and controversy before the entertainment world became too much pressure for him for bear.
