Episode 63: Unforgiven

On this first part of our Clint Eastwood double feature, we're
diving into Unforgiven, Eastwood’s 1992 Oscar-winning western
that challenges the heroic myths of the genre. The film follows
retired gunslinger William Munny who takes one last job for
revenge and money—only to confront the personal and moral costs
of violence. Unforgiven redefined the western genre in the early
90s and it's never been the same since. We check out how
Unforgiven holds up over time, look at revisionist westerns, and
ask just why is Eastwood such a badass.


Other topics include other favorite Clint Eastwood movies, the
Man With No Name Trilogy, recent Halloween movies we're watching,
and how to avoid election news at all costs.
