🎬 Marriage, Mushrooms & Mighty Ducks | What’s Up Big Rapids Ep. 18

This week on What’s Up Big Rapids, we salute the Ferris State Class of 2025 🎓, dig into our favorite movie moments 🍿 (yes, The Cutting Edge gets a nostalgic review from memory), and talk about theater renovations, mushrooms vs tomatoes, and the splash pad opening at Hemlock Park 💦.

Also on deck: marriage retreats, Lion King memories 🦁, hockey tryouts 🏒, Dom’s most embarrassing moment ever (you don’t want to miss this one), and... is Pat secretly a rom-com guy?! 👀

Plus, real estate market talk, Stanley & Quiggle live in Pocket Park 🎶, Pages & Pixel grand opening 🎮, and one too many hot takes on animated classics.

👇 Jump into the comments and tell us: What’s your favorite childhood movie? Bonus points if it's a guilty pleasure.
