In this week's episode of the Branded in the 80s podcast I take a minute to talk about finding new perspectives on the pop culture that we know and love so much that it's started to lose some of its luster. To this effect I reconsider the character of Billy Francis Kopeke from the 1988 Penny Marshall film Big. After viewing the alternate director's cut of the film Kopeke becomes a much more nuanced character that not only has an expanded story, but it's one that changes the tone and overall theme of the film.
