Black and White Movie Night

Witness: Hiding in Amish Country


Listen Later

ep. 26: If your name is Patti, Broadway is the place to be. Brittany wonders if she's the only one to never experience the perfect moment to kiss. Brendan is glad he finally gets to see the inspiration for a few Kingpin scenes. Our next film for March's theme of Oscars-1986 is Witness (1985).

P.S. It was definitely Mrs. Lupone. See shownotes for a couple of clips.
