You're a Big boy now

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas head to New York City, where a 30-year-old man named Josh Baskin is claiming to be a 13-year-old boy who has been zapped into an adult body, after making a wish on a Zoltar machine.

It's Week 3 of our WHAT ARE THE RULES, our body-swapping mini-arc, and we're talking all the ups and downs of the late-great Penny Marshall's BIG! You know, that film that put Tom Hanks on the map. You know, that one where he does the dance on the big piano. You know, it's that one where he has sex with a grown woman, but he apparently is only 13. Yep, that one!

Join us, as we remember all the good times and great performances from Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia and John Heard, and try to forget all that other creepy stuff. Of course, we ask the tough questions, like how does all this magic work, what happened after Josh went home, and what are the rules...
