Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay pick up some cans of silly string and pizzas to enjoy a wild night talking about 'Big.' Andy kicks things off by telling a story about a one night stand that ended abruptly after the girl walked into his man-child cave room adorned that showcased his affinity for comics. Then the fellas decide to give another beloved child's movie the Degen treatment, and discuss Penny Marshall's 1988 film. This starts with the guys pitching gritty remakes, and imagining how the story of a child turning into a man overnight, and heading to downtown New York in the '80s would work out for him in the real world. Afterwards, they get to the cherished coming-of-age romp which was really just a nearly two-hour showcase for Tom Hanks' star potential, as he hams it up. Sure, his depiction of an 11-year-old interacting with adults is more reminiscent of a toddler, but the film does nail the fact of young guys throwing their friends under the bus to get their hands on some boobies.
