John Tebbutt, your Video Vulture, is back to walk Dan and Keith through the history of Donald Westlake's Parker novels, and the feature films similar to but legally distinct from his classic anti-hero protagonist. Back in the 1960s, classic Tough Guy Lee Marvin plays "Walker," the Parker-esque crook out to wring his rightful cut of some heist money out of organized crime syndicate The Outfit in Point Blank. Then, a little over three decades later, Payback sees Mel Gibson takes on the same story as "Porter," but an ambiguous ending and unforgivable dog-related crime get the director fired and a new ending filmed. We take on both versions in our quest to find the best Pseudo-Parker. Join us for the ride, and if you're not careful, you just might learn something.
