In this episode, we revisit the 1988 classic Big, starring Tom Hanks as a 12-year-old who makes a wish to be "big"—and wakes up in an adult body. We break down the film’s themes of childhood innocence, growing up too fast, and the bittersweet line between youth and responsibility. Plus, we talk iconic scenes (yes, the piano), the legacy of body-swap comedies, and why Big still resonates decades later.
