Jay Karnes, DONKEY PUNCH, BURN NOTICE, THE SHIELD star: Mr. Media Radio Interview

As “Brennan,” Jay Karnes makes life miserable for Michael Weston on USA Network’s cool spy show, “Burn Notice.” He’s the first recurring bad guy to make an impact opposite the show’s regulars and it seems likely we haven’t seen the last of him.

Of course, fans of “The Shield” know Karnes best as L.A.P.D. Detective Holland "Dutch" Wagenbach.

AUDIO EXCERPT: "Not a week goes by where I don't slip it in the ear of my wife that maybe it would be a good idea. She doesn't seem really in favorite of it. I don't know why! A little experimentation, that's all!"


In, Donkey Punch, a new short film just starting to appear at film festivals, Karnes plays a vulnerable young man on a blind Internet date where the chit-chat with Ann Russo, his date, caroms from what she can tell from his shoes to whether he knows what a “Donkey Punch” is.

Ally Sheedy, Kate Siegel, Kyle Schickner, STEAM indie movie actors, director: Mr. Media Interview

Kyle Schickner’s new indie drama Steam had me at “it co-stars Ally Sheedy and Ruby Dee,” but made me a fan when Kate Siegel’s character says, “Mom, I’m a lesbian.”

I know it doesn’t sound funny, being out of context and all, but it cracked me up.

If you get the chance to see Steam at a film festival, please do. If you can’t find it there, take Mr. Media’s advice and request it in advance at Netflix or Blockbuster. It’s a sweet, satisfying little film with a great cast.

Speaking of its great cast, I’m delighted to welcome two of lead actresses from Steam—Ally Sheedy and Kate Siegel—to today’s show, as well as writer/director Kyle Schickner.

Paul Hertzberg, CINETEL FILMS president and CEO: Mr. Media Interview

Shockwave. Fire Serpent, Komodo vs. King Cobra, Hallowed Ground. Secret Lives of Second Wives. Loch Ness Terror.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve seen or even heard of these real movie titles, because they’re providing a profitable existence for Paul Hertzberg, president and CEO of CineTel Films.

Movie fans focused on the weekly Top 10 movies and their box office take are missing an entire dimension of the film business. That’s where independents such as CineTel operate, cranking out movies largely on the fringes but with enough familiar elements as to tempt the casual movie renter.

Today we’re going to find out from Hertzberg how his corner of the business operates and thrives.
