Episode 172: Witness
This week, Morgan and Gavia dive into Peter Weir's 1985 classic neo-noir "Witness," starring Lukas Haas as a young Amish boy who witnesses a murder, Kelly McGillis as his mother, and Harrison Ford as a detective trying to solve the crime. They discuss the film's journey from script to screen, its depiction of the police, Ford and McGillis' electric chemistry, and much more.
