Midwest Bail

Join host Shane Rolf and his guest, Dennis Berndt, owner of B&K Bail Bonds in Wichita, Kansas, as they discuss the portrayal of bail agents and the profession of bail bonds in motion pictures.  How much is accurate and how much is just Hollywood stereotyping?  With the help of entertaining audio clips, they examine “Midnight Run,” a 1988 action-comedy film about a bounty hunter (Robert De Niro) trying to bring in a bail jumper (Charles Grodin) at the behest of a stressed-out bail agent (Joseph Pantoliano), who stands to lose $450,000 if he can’t bring him in within five days.
