Heavyweights (1995)

Dan and Jon are joined by hometown homie Brian “Box” Brown, author of the new graphic novel, Child Star, to talk about the 1995 classic, Heavyweights. This film is the 2nd in our month-long series of films celebrating child stars, in honor of the release of Brown’s book. Heavyweights features child stars Kenan Thompson, Aaron Schwartz, and Shaun Weiss, all of whom we whole-heartedly salute!

Brian and the guys go over their histories with summer camps and the moments in the film that really hit home.
