EP. 205.3 — Spool Party: Big (featuring Lauren Lapkus)

Paul & Amy dance on the keys for 1988’s Tom Hanks body swap comedy Big! They discuss the unique perspective director Penny Marshall brought to the film’s romantic scenes, play some of their favorite oddball Hanks cameos, and ask how Josh’s experience would go on to shape his real adulthood. Plus: Lauren Lapkus shares why this is her favorite film. (This episode originally aired live on YouTube as part of Unspooled’s “Spool Party” series.)
