The movie this week is the 1992 Western classic Unforgiven, which Clint Eastwood both directed and starred in.

This isn’t your typical Western. It’s darker, more realistic, and challenges the way the Old West is usually shown—something that’s interesting, considering Eastwood helped romanticize that world in his earlier films. In Unforgiven, Eastwood plays William Munny, a retired gunslinger and widower with two kids. He’s left that life behind, but gets pulled back in for one last job—a group of prostitutes is offering a reward to anyone who’ll help them get revenge on two cowboys who badly hurt one of their own.

The movie deals with heavy themes like justice, morality, and the real cost of violence. The characters aren’t clean-cut heroes or villains—they’re complicated, with flaws and regrets. Gene Hackman, who sadly passed away, gives an unforgettable performance as Little Bill Daggett, the brutal sheriff trying to keep order in the town.

Unforgiven was a huge success. It won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. Today, it’s seen as a major turning point for Westerns—a film that took a hard, honest look at a genre that’s usually full of myths and legends. But does it hold up? Well sit back relax, pour yourself some bourbon, and grab some popcorn because today we three hosts answer that question by deep diving into this 1992, Western, or anti-western classic, Unforgiven.

In 1989, five Black and Latino teenagers—Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise—were wrongfully convicted of raping a white woman in Central Park. There was no real evidence tying them to the crime, but the police got confessions from them through pressure and intimidation. Because of fear, racism, and the way the media blew the story up, the public was quick to judge. These boys were punished for something they didn’t do, and their case became a powerful example of how the justice system can fail—especially when race is involved.

The Netflix mini-series When They See Us, directed by Ava DuVernay, tells their story from their point of view. It follows them through the arrests, the unfair trials, the time they spent in prison, and their eventual release after the real attacker came forward years later. The show doesn’t just explain what happened—it shows the emotional weight these boys and their families carried, and how the system is often stacked against young men of color.

Watching this series today, it’s impossible not to see the connections to what’s still happening in our country. We’re still dealing with racial bias in law enforcement, wrongful convictions, and a justice system that isn’t always fair. The show hits hard because these problems aren’t just history—they’re still part of the world we live in.

That’s why I’m not just glad this show made it onto our list—I’m really thankful I got to watch it. It left a mark. But I’m also curious: how did our other two hosts feel about it? What did they take away from this powerful look at one of America’s most painful failures when it comes to race and justice?

Well sit back, relax with a can of Pepsi, some popcorn as we deep dive into this 2019 true crime, courtroom drama mini-series, When They See Us.

Heat (1995) is a masterful crime thriller written and directed by Michael Mann, starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Val Kilmer. The film follows the intense cat-and-mouse dynamic between veteran LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Pacino) and master thief Neil McCauley (De Niro), two men at the top of their respective professions whose lives inevitably collide.

McCauley leads a crew of skilled criminals who pull off high-stakes heists with military precision, but after a botched armored truck robbery, Hanna and his team begin closing in. What follows is a gripping, methodical chase through the streets of Los Angeles, culminating in one of the most famous shootout sequences in film history.

Beyond the action, Heat is a deeply introspective film about obsession, discipline, and the cost of a life lived on the edge. Both McCauley and Hanna are men defined by their work, and while they are on opposite sides of the law, they share an understanding—perhaps even admiration—for each other’s dedication. This is best exemplified in their iconic diner conversation, a moment of mutual recognition between two men who know their fates are intertwined.

With Mann’s meticulous direction, a stellar supporting cast (including Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, and Ashley Judd), and a richly detailed depiction of Los Angeles as a character in itself, Heat remains one of the greatest crime films ever made. Its influence can be seen in everything from The Dark Knight to Sicario, cementing its legacy as a genre-defining classic.

But what do your three hosts think of this movie? Well sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and a drink for today we're going back to 1995 by deep diving into this 1995 heist classic!
