Episode 47 - "Unforgiven"

In 1984 a trusted production executive desperately tried to convince Clint Eastwood to pass on “The Cut-Whore Killing,” stressing that the screenplay was not worth his time. Eastwood placed it in a drawer, but not because of the material; only during the latter phase of his career did he feel he could earn the right to properly deconstruct the western genre. Released in 1992, “Unforgiven” would go on to win Oscars for Best Picture, Director (Eastwood), Editing, and Supporting Actor for the late Gene Hackman. Jason Thompson and Dennis roll into Big Whiskey, open a bottle and celebrate Eastwood's masterpiece. Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.
