The Pink Smoke podcastEp 162 The ScoreWith the fifth entry of the Parker series, The Score, Richard Stark aka Donald E. Westlake puts his career criminal anti-hero in charge of his most ambitious heist yet: the 12-man robbery of a North Dakota mining town. This allows the author to expand the violent world of Parker by introducing a slew of fresh characters, including thespian-thief Alan Grofield, who would go on to star in four solo novels of his own.
We discuss the series' change in scope and structure in a book that would set the scene moving forward, the first of several to make the spectacular...

The Pink Smoke podcastEp 156 The MournerWe continue our series on the Parker books by Donald E. Westlake, published under the nom de guerre Richard Stark, which follow the various criminal activities of hard-boiled heister Parker and the shady characters surrounding him looking to screw up the score. Coming after the 'Outfit Trilogy' that kicked off the series, 1964's The Mourner is one of the weirder entries, focusing specifically on the eponymous MacGuffin: a lost historical statue sitting in the art collection of an embezzling expatriate from a small Slavic country who has himself been targeted by a secret policeman whose desire for a new life o...

Continuing our episodes on Richard Stark's 24-book Parker series, we delve into the third book The Outfit, in which Stark (pen name for the legendary Donald E. Westlake) expands the violent world Parker to epic proportions and offers a smörgåsbord of heists (a metaphorical (not veritable) Swedish buffet of heists instead of pickled fish!) centering minor characters who would grow in importance as the series progressed. We also look in-depth at John Fl...

Having outmaneuvered the Outfit, shatterproof heister Parker resurfaces with a new face and a new caper. But there might be too much to watch with this armored car knockover in Jersey: a shaky accomplice, a surly waitress planning a double-cross and an oafish chauffeur looking to avenge his murdered employer. Can our criminal anti-hero juggle all these uncertain angles and still come away with a sweet boodle?

"Central County was a big, rangy county with mountains to the north and mountains to the south and a vast loneliness in between. The mountains were filled with trees and creeks. The loneliness was called the Dead Hills. They were thirty miles wide. There were thousands of hills out there: yellow and barren in the summer with lots of juniper brush in the draws and a few pine trees here and there, acting as if they had wandered away like stray sheep from the mountains and out into the Dead Hills and had...

The Pink Smoke podcastEp. 119 SwishbucklersHere it is. Our massive exploration of one of the most disreputable genres imaginable: The Swishbuckler.
A loose collection of movies created in the mid-70s through the mid-80s parodying the classic swashbucklers of yore, swishbuckler films like Zorro The Gay Blade, Pirates, Yellowbeard and Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers are marked by their terrible comedy, penchant for grotesquerie, extreme campiness and even more extreme poor taste.
This might be The Pink Smoke's most massive podcast undertaking yet: from the genre's roots in Richard Lester's Musketeers films to a send-off into the swashbuckler revival of the 90s ignited by...

The Pink Smoke podcastEp. 107 The HunterParker, that stoic solo brute of independent career criminals, made his debut in the pages of Richard Stark's The Hunter 60 years ago. Stark (the pseudonym under which legendary crime fiction writer Donald E. Westlake chronicled the Parker stories) introduces the world to this ultimate anti-hero at his lowest: backstabbed by a coward, shot by his own wife, ripped off for his take from a bold heist, forced to kill his way out of a prison labor camp and travel penniless cross country to New York, where he expects to enact some savage revenge on those who crossed him.

The Pink Smoke podcastEp. 103 To Live & Die in L.A.In 1985, William "Hurricane Billy" Friedkin was back on the streets with the savage and illusive policier To Live and Die in L.A. Filmed with gritty precision, photographed in painterly textures by the immortal Robby Müller and encompassing one scorcher of an extended city-wide high-speed pursuit that leaves even the celebrated chase from The French Connection in the dust, the movie electrified the screen yet couldn't produce a spark critically or commercially. It has since been rightfully recognized as a classic, much to the satisfaction of hosts Christopher Funderburg and John Cribbs who sit down to review the fatal e...

We’re joined by filmmaker Bill Teck to discuss the latest film from Clint Eastwood, Cry Macho. Mr. Teck previously joined us to discuss Eastwood’s 2019 film Richard Jewell and remains our favorite person with whom to discuss the 91 year-old star-auteur. We place the film within the larger context of Eastwood’s complicated career and its nearing end.
The film follows a deeply washed-up rodeo star who travels to Mexico City on behalf of his former boss to find the man’s teenage son. We discuss how the film takes on...

The Pink Smoke podcastEp. 41 Richard JewellHosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs are joined by filmmaker Bill Teck to discuss RICHARD JEWELL. The latest film director by Clint Eastwood, it's the true story of an Atlanta security guard falsely accused by the FBI and Atlanta-Journal Constitution of planting bombs at the 1996 Olympics.
The discussion turns from Paul Walter Hauser's astounding performance (and checkered Juggalo history) to the media environment surrounding domestic terrorism in 1996 to how Eastwood's unadorned style impresses without going in for the big show-off moments.

The Pink Smoke podcastEp. 48 The Dance Of The Seven VeilsOn this episode, hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs are joined by Lisi Russell to discuss her husband Ken Russell’s BBC biopic of Richard Strauss, The Dance of the Seven Veils. The controversial film, suppressed since its premiere in 1970, recently screened for the public for the first time in five decades.
Russell’s angry and uncompromising film mixes a Monty Python-esque sense of satire with a harsh critique of cultural institutions across the spectrum for a depiction of Strauss that absolutely refuses to forgive the influential composer for his strained and tense collaboration with the ruling Nazi party.
