To be honest, I wonder how I actually ended up watching this movie. My guess is that I heard about what is about and since it sounded quite intriguing, I became quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I wasn’t disappointed, it is definitely one of those underrated/unknown jewels and I really loved the damned thing. I have to admit it, before watching this flick, I had actually never heard of Pe... read more

Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle portrays the one and only Ralph Waldo “Petey” Greene Jr.; Petey’s story is funny, dramatic, inspiring - and real. 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 (Taraji P. Henson), the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig.

"First viewing - June 27th I saw that Rick Famuyiwa (director of Dope and The Wood) wrote this film, which made it a priority for me to check out this month. The film tells the story of radio personality Petey Greene, of whom I knew nothing prior to watching it. And it's an important story to tell, full of wonderful characters and events that still have impact today. The cast is great across the board, and I loved the music so much I put it all in a playlist to listen to. I can't recommend Talk "
