"Be careful what you wish for… especially if it’s in front of a sketchy carnival machine. 🎡🎩"
This week, we’re diving into the big 1988 classic—Big! Tom Hanks delivers peak 80s magic as a 12-year-old who wishes to be “big” in front of Zoltar, the most wish-granting (and slightly terrifying) animatronic of the 1900s. Next thing he knows—BOOM! He’s in an adult body, navigating corporate life, giant pianos, and some seriously questionable grown-up situations.
Was Josh Baskin living the dream or an absolute nightmare? Should we all be concerned that his best friend just rolled with it? And most importantly—where can we find a Zoltar machine for our own life upgrades?
Join us in Nostalgialand as we unpack the magic, the weirdness, and the big impact of this iconic 80s movie!
