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.

Our latest movie catch-up ended up being a milestone episode for two reasons. One, it's probably the longest and most diverse list of films we've ever discussed on an episode. Two, we probably got the angriest we have ever been discussing a movie on the show, which was a film sent to us by one of our kind Patrons! Did you know our supporters on Patreon have access to a PO Box, where they can send us movies to check out as well as a bunch of other bonus features?
