<p>Sean and Brendan revisit <em>Big</em> (1988), the beloved comedy that helped establish Tom Hanks as one of Hollywood&#39;s most enduring stars. They explore Hanks&#39; unforgettable performance, the film&#39;s production and behind-the-scenes stories, and the iconic moments—from Zoltar to the FAO Schwarz piano—that have made <em>Big</em> a favorite for generations. But beneath the comedy and childhood wish fulfillment, they also examine the film&#39;s deeper exploration of childhood innocence and adult responsibility, and how differently some elements play for audiences today. Along the way, they discuss memorable quotes, the film&#39;s lasting impact, and Tom Hanks&#39; remarkable career before putting their knowledge of his filmography to the test in a new game. More than three decades later, <em>Big</em> remains funny, heartfelt, and a surprisingly thoughtful reminder that growing up isn&#39;t always everything we imagined it would be.</p>
