S17 Ep884: Big (1988, Live in Chicago)

Recorded Live at the Den Theatre in Chicago, IL, 22 March, 2026

“Way too much oral stuff in this movie!” - Eric

On this week’s WHM Live episode, it’s our raucous show from Chicago where we were talking a blue streak about the beloved Tom Hanks comedy, Big!

How eerie is the third act of this movie? Shouldn’t Susan have been a bit more creeped out by Josh’s apartment? Is there a more terrifying sight than Robert Loggia being nice to people? How great would it be to have a 1980’s Jon Lovitz as a coworker? Couldn’t they have thrown more lines to James Eckhouse? What would it be like watching the gut-wrenching, Lars von Trier-esque, family drama that Mercedes Ruehl and the rest of the Baskin family is going through? And did Hollywood decree there could only be one be-mulleted, red-headed, DSB actor at a time? PLUS: Should New Jersey give Jason Voorhees his own highway rest stop?

Big stars Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, John Heard, Jared Rushton, David Moscow, Jon Lovitz, Mercedes Ruehl, James Eckhouse, Debra Jo Rupp, and Robert Loggia as Mr. MacMillan.
