660: "Sometimes the spaghetti likes to be alone" | Big Night (1996)

This week, we pull up a chair for Stanley Tucci's semi-autobiographical love letter to food and family, Big Night (1996) — joined by special guests Chris Webre and Dayton Johnson (Dockingbay 77 Podcast). We trace Tucci's real family recipes behind the film, stack it up against food-movie royalty like Tampopo and Babette's Feast, and dig into that unforgettable 1950s Italian soundtrack.
