Episode 38 - Payback (1999)

Almost Cult Classics

On this ep, we discuss the 1999 film Payback starring Mel Gibson and directed by Brian Helgeland. We compare the original cut to the Director's Cut that followed in 2006. The movie, an adaptation of Richard Stark's The Hunter, gave us an excuse to talk about the other movies featuring the Parker character as well - Point Blank, The Split, The Outfit, Parker.

The mics kept rolling after this episode as we talked about more Mel by revisiting the Mad Max movies! You can find that episode exclusively on our Patreon as well as a back catalogue of other bonus episodes and discussions: www.patreon.com/almostcultclassics.
