Big, 1988

Dion & Blake are closing out the summer with a chat about a 1988 film that could have gone wrong at any turn, but a stellar cast, solid script, and a strong director helped make it a classic...BIG! We dive deep into the behind-the-scenes of the film, from the origin of the script & alternate casting choices to filming locations, to Tom Hanks' prep and the power of this amazing ensemble cast. We discuss the body swap movies of the era & the clashing themes of innocence and corporate America. So, break out the toys, grab your silly string, and be careful what you wish for, this week the boys are covering BIG on an all-new episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
