In this episode Mark talks about one of my favourite films: the 1989 American comic science fiction film "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" directed by Joe Johnston. Starring Rick Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, the inventor of an electromagnetic shrinking machine, who accidentally shrinks his own children, Amy (played by Amy O'Neill) and Nick (Robert Oliveri), as well as the kids of his next door neighbours, Russell "Little Russ" Thompson Jr. (played by Thomas Wilson Brown) and Ronald "Ron" Thompson (played by Jared Rushton), to a quarter of an inch in height, who have to make their way through their backyard to return home and back to their own size while fending off insects that are now more than twice their size. Also starring Marcia Strassman as Diane Szalinski, Kristin Sutherland as Mae Thompson, and Matt Frewer as Russell "Big Russ" Thompson, the film is a family favourite and well loved by critics and audiences all around the world. The film has a wonderful and memorable film score composed by the late great James Horner.
