Jack&#8217;s association with the men leads to his involvement with a host of other lowlifes, and though he tries to convince himself that he is staying clean in a dirty business, his disintegrating family situation proves otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Middle Men argues pretty convincingly that Internet commerce wouldn&#8217;t be possible without porn. Two cocaine-driven would-be pornographers named Wayne (Giovanni Ribisi, Avatar) and Buck (Gabriel Macht, The Spirit) invented the credit card protocol that makes buying over the Internet possible&#8211;and then came close to capsizing from their own indulgences and some bad decisions involving Russian mobsters. That&#8217;s where Jack Harris (Luke Wilson, The Royal Tenenbaums) came in. Harris is simply a levelheaded guy who can see solutions where others only see problems&#8211;and he sees the potential to make more money than even Buck and Wayne had dreamed. What&#8217;s most surprising about Middle Men is how a movie based on a true story featuring porn stars and Russian gangsters has turned out a bit bland&#8211;particularly since it&#8217;s written and directed by George Gallo, who wrote one of the most character-rich screenplays ever, Midnight Run. Of course, as one of the movie&#8217;s producers is the man on whom Jack Harris is based, it was unlikely that Harris would be depicted as anything but a fundamentally decent guy who lost his way for a while. Despite this, Middle Men features an abundance of entertaining supporting performances  and many of the true-to-life twists are startling. Above all, Rade Serbedzija (Before the Rain) gives the movie a jolt of pure menace as the Russian mob boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>It stars Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Gabriel Macht, James Caan, Kevin Pollak, Laura Ramsey and Kelsey Grammer.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MCM-SHIRT-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18259\" style=\"width:464px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MCM-SHIRT-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MCM-SHIRT-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MCM-SHIRT-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/MCM-SHIRT.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Dave McAnally co hosted the podcast Sunday 2\/1\/2026 with LOWSUNDAY<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18232\" style=\"width:575px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Beauty-In-Chaos-PROMO-2-22-2026-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Getting very excite about having  Michael Ciravolo back on the podcast 2\/22\/2026<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BEAUTY-IN-CHAOS-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18222\" style=\"width:306px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BEAUTY-IN-CHAOS-A.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/BEAUTY-IN-CHAOS-A-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Ciravolo is the president of Schecter Guitar Research and the designer behind the company&#8217;s Diamond Series guitars. Schecter was formed in 1976 to provide replacement parts for guitars made by other companies. With the help of engineers and designers the company changed focus and began creating its own guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his own words: &#8220;<strong>Born of frustration and creativity,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><em>BEAUTY IN CHAOS<\/em>&nbsp;is far more than my \u2018solo\u2019 album.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a convergence of textures and styles that I envisioned blossoming and evolving. &nbsp;I certainly imposed some constraints on this debut release, mainly that I would play all guitars and no synthesizers would be used. &nbsp;Not from my ego, but as a personal challenge to myself. &nbsp;I wanted to see if I could create the sounds and textures I heard in my head. &nbsp;&nbsp;I think that rather lofty goal was accomplished only in thanks to the other constant in BIC, my long time friend Michael Rozon. &nbsp;A world-class engineer, mixer, producer and musician who pushed me to give my better-than-best on every note on this entity we created. &nbsp;A true sound alchemist, he helped me to orchestrate compositions using only our wide array of guitars and effect pedals \u2026 &nbsp;lifting, but never overshadowing the songs. &nbsp;Honestly? &nbsp;Rozon is the engine that revved BIC &#8211; &nbsp;it was him that pushed and encouraged me to explore the sounds and textures in my mind and start BIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BEAUTY IN CHAOS would not have been possible without these amazingly talented artists, many who will continue in the evolution of BIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My eternal gratitude to&nbsp;<strong>Robin Zander<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cheaptrick.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cheap Trick<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Wayne Hussey<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/themissionuk.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Mission<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Tim Palme<\/strong>r (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/timpalmermixer\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tim Palmer<\/a>)&nbsp;<strong>Ashton Nyte<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ashtonnyte.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Awakening<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Simon Gallup<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thecure.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Cure<\/a>),<strong>&nbsp;Al Jourgensen<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ministryband.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ministry<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Michael Anthony (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VanHalen\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Van Halen<\/a>), Evi Vine&nbsp;<\/strong>(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/evivine.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evi Vine<\/a>),<strong>&nbsp;Michael Aston<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/genelovesjezebel.com\/Welcome.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gene Loves Jezebel<\/a>),<strong>&nbsp;Johnny Indovina<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/humandrama.net\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Human Drama<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>dUg Pinnick<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kingsxrocks.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kings X<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Pete Parada<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/offspring.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Offspring<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Betsy Martin<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caterwaul_(band)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caterwaul<\/a>\/&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/100purrmachine\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purr Machine<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Marc Danzeisen<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/riverdogsmusic.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Riverdogs<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Kevin Kipnis<\/strong>&nbsp;(Kommunity FK \/&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/100purrmachine\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Purr Machine<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Dirk Doucette<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/genelovesjezebel.com\/Welcome.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gene Loves Jezebel<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Pando<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A_Flock_of_Seagulls\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Flock of Seagulls<\/a>),&nbsp;<strong>Rudy Matchinga<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/watch?v=nCQgfcD4hhg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red Scare<\/a>)<strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Tish Ciravolo<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL2xCVIG_F7xsdKlQYmRaxAq9Aq6VJyd1j&amp;feature=gws_kp_artist\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stun Gun<\/a>) and&nbsp;<strong>ICE-T<\/strong>&nbsp;(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bodycountofficial\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Body Count<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18263\" style=\"width:701px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/555.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;555 and I hope I made the right decision&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its INSANE how much this looks exactly like Melita although I don&#8217;t think she&#8217;d ever wear anything that tight.
