Malcolm puts his new bow and arrows to good use. First on a hunting trip with his son, Michael, and then while tracking a more sinister, deadly prey. One that can shoot back.

For their movie talk, Chris and Will discuss a soon-to-be-classic: Blue Ruin! Jeremy Saulnier’s neo-noir starring Macon Blair deconstructs the revenge genre and produces an engaging, entertaining drama in the process.

Dwight may be leaving town, but the professional gunman he hired isn’t going to make Malcolm’s return from prison simple. And it’s hard enough for Malcolm as he tries to start over again with Mary and their son Michael, whom he has yet to meet.

How will the boy take to finally meeting his father? And what sort of revenge does Malcolm have in mind for his former partner-in-crime? Take a listen to Cut You Down Pt 02 to find out.

And this episode we’re taking a look at the always practical, and sometimes brutal, criminal creation of Richard Stark: Parker! We’ve got a supersized comparison lined up as we discuss the book The Hunter and its various movie and comic book iterations.

So we have John Boorman’s existential action picture Point Blank with Lee Marvin, two vastly different versions of Payback with Mel Gibson, and Darwyne Cook’s fantastic and faithful comic book adaptation.

Malcolm gets out of prison after 9 years and doesn’t want anything… except what’s his. The taciturn, hulking ex-con has to decide what shape his revenge is going to take as he tracks down his old flame and finds her living with his ex-partner-in-crime Dwight. The pair have been raising Malcolm’s 9 year old son together; but now he’s out.

Mitchell’s drive to South Jersey has been fraught with danger and bad decisions. And now he has to dig two graves instead of one. Can he get the bodies buried six feet under with nothing but a little blood and dirt on his hands? Take a listen to the exciting conclusion of Jersey Devils to find out!

Instead of keeping a low profile, Mitchell winds up pickpocketing a man and crashing the back of his truck’s trailer into a parked car. Not ideal. Especially when said truck is carrying a dead body set for burial deep in the Pine Barrens.

Mitchell finds himself going from witness to accomplice in a murder, and is faced with the ever-escalating stakes in his new venture with Wooley. He finally has the truck he’s been saving for, but under the false floorboards he’s forced to carry an unfortunate cargo… a dead man!

For our inaugural episode, you’ll find part one of the original crime fiction story Jersey Devils. It centers on Mitchell, a small-time hustler scraping a living together with petty theft in Asbury Park.
