  <description>Join Maggie and Ian as they cover 1992's winner, Unforgiven. Despite mixed opinions going into this episode, Ian and Maggie found they both appreciated the top-notch visuals, complex characters, and ultimately the completely satisfying (if sometimes difficult to watch) story arcs. 
Trigger warning for violence against women.
