Best Film Ever

(Deep Dive begins at 33:05)

"Some podcasts are proud and not plain" Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian and Hermes Auslander (Megs, B-Tech Kev & Liam are off learning Pennsylvania Dutch) – as we head to the world of Amish country, undercover cops, and barn-raising in Witness (1985). We’re trading in our Smart Tech polo shirts for traditional Amish garb and diving into our 265th episode as we discuss:

• How Harrison Ford’s performance showcases his range beyond Han Solo and Indiana Jones.


• The film’s blend of crime thriller and romance – does it work?


• In what ways was Harrison Ford the perfect actor for this role


• Which one of us REALLY hated the 3rd act


• Which actor was REALLY hated by one of us in this film


• Was this movie ahead of its time, or does it feel dated in 2024?


• Is John Book fair to Rachel in this film? Is Rachel fair to John Book?


• Is John Book a great protector or just dragging danger into the Amish community?


• Why didn't 20th Century Fox want to make this film


• Hermes and Felix continue their blood feud


• Whether Witness is the Best Film Ever.
