“Hard Decisions” ITF Watch: The Road (2009 film) ft. Mike Whittier

Actor Mike Whittier joins the show to discuss John Hillcoat’s adaptation starring the incredible Viggo Mortenson! In episode 276, Luke, James, and Mike discuss the merits of method acting, the role of improvisation, Robert Duvall's transformation, how a faithful adaptation can still make some tough choices about what to omit, and how less ambiguity makes for a very different story.
