Dirk Marshall (VH US Podcast) joins us to discuss the 1986 Canadian film THE GREAT LAND OF SMALL! We do our best to make sense of this weird and underseen kindertrauma, one that has disturbed Dirk since seeing it as a child in his father's video store! From its New York tree-climbing moms, to a mystical land that is remarkably easy to get to, and a father obsessed with magic gold dust that does... something, we cover all of its child logic and attempts at whimsy! Just remember to wish and make it real! After all, life is like a dream in the Great Land of Small!
