20th Century Pop! is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each week hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s. Its a ruining of their childhood that hopefully explains how they became adults.
Who knew Tom Hanks liked older women… by about 20 years. Sort of a BIG age discrepancy. Potentially a BIG issue. And sort of the BIG romance promised to us in 1988’s questionable rom-com… BIG. Yeah, it was an uneasy watch the first time and today, Bob and Tim are reposting their reexamination of what the audience that fell in love with the film sort of missed. (full disclosure … its sort of a BIG deal) .
