With Toy Story 5 not far on the horison, this week we thought we' d pay tribute to one of Hollywood's most beloved icons, Tom Hanks.

Whether it's his breakout roles in the 80s in film like Big, his Oscar-winning roles in films such as Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, his romantic comedy staples with Meg Ryan in Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail, his voicework as Woody in the Toy Story franchise, or even his work behind the camera with classics such as That Thing You Do, everyone has a reason to love Tom Hanks.

Leonard and Guy discuss what makes Hanks such a star, his willingness to fail, some underrated performances and more.Plus, Leonard tells a fantasic story about meeting Hanks at an Academy dinner, as well as the time Hanks surprised Leonard's class at USC.
