Talk to Me

After just-released, sharp-tongued miscreant Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. (Don Cheadle), along with his supportive flamboyant girlfriend (Taraji P. Henson), pesters an initially skeptical WLOL radio programming director (Chiwetel Ejiofor) for a job as a deejay in this well-acted, insightful, 118-minute, 2007 biographical film, the director manages to convince his equally skeptical, blue-suited boss (Martin Sheen) to hire the prison deejay, who proved to be a the bigger than life personality with a razor-sharp wit and a unique pulse on the black community in Washington, D.C. from the mid-1960s until his death in 1984.
