Dan and Brian wrap Maxi-Month and Mini-Month with the series that got Brian on the big-small kick as a kid in the first place. They review all three movies in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids trilogy, plus the spinoff TV show. Join as Dan and Brian discuss other possible Maxi-Month and Mini-Month selections, the strange history and astounding production of the original film, the bizarre family dynamics, the casting of Rick Moranis, the upsetting aspects of the giant baby, the unlikely illicit party, late-series character additions and casting changes, and the wild and wonderful filmography of Dean Cundey.
