S03E05: Parker — A Criminal Adaptation

Content warning: misogyny, domestic abuse, suicide [26:54 - 34:02]
When a guy in a Mercedes honked at him, Yan said nothing and biked
away. Slung over his back was a messenger bag containing some
clothes, a snack, and the omnibus edition of "Parker," written by
Richard Stark and adapted into comics by Darwyn Cooke. The plan was
clear: arrive at the studio by 10am. Greet Nat a very good morning.
And then—with the persuasive power of a ten-pound tome—introduce
Nat to one of the greatest crime comics of all time. 00:00 -
