Description:

You've got to be at least this tall (imagine a fairly high height) to ride this ride. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew: Ian, Liam, Ethan and Georgia as we're headed to the funfair in search of a Zoltan machine in Big. It's a foot-driven duet of a 176th episode as we discuss:

  • How to make exposition seem natural in dialogue
  • Despite a female screenwriter and director, is Big a boys' film?
  • Ian shares a few stories about going to New York City 
  • What is it about boys and gross out humour - and why did Ian and Liam skip it
  • Ethan has found his way back to the podcast and we don't give him a hard time about it at all
  • Pip plays hell with the video feed for this episode so the other 3 have to vamp
  • Ian shares stories about his Canadian Idol experience
  • We consider what life was like for Mrs Baskin - because the film doesn't
  • Whether or not Big is the Best Film Ever
