Bullseye with Jesse Thorne is a production of maximum fun.org and is distributed by NPR.

Hey! Hey! It's Bolzai. I'm Jesse Thorne. Come and join me at the table as we celebrate America's beloved holiday of feasts, Hank'sgiving.

Yes, that's right. This week on Bolseye, our guest is Tom Hanks. And basically, that's all you need to hear by way of introduction, right? Sleepless

in Seattle, Philadelphia, saving Private Ryan, Joe versus the Volcano. These are all movies

in which Tom Hanks has starred. When I talked to him about

this time two years ago, he just starred in A Man Called Otto, an adaptation of the hit book,

a man called Oovie. He's just reunited with Robert Zemeckis and Robin Wright, the director and co-star

of Forrest Gump, for a new movie called Here.

Here is a film that spans literal eons. The camera starts at one spot at the very beginning

of time and stays in that one shot right up until the present day. But anyway, Otto.

Hanks plays the title character, Otto Anderson, and when the

movie begins, he's mourning the loss of his wife, Sonia. He's not sure how he's going to move on

with his life, or even if he can keep it up. A man called Otto revolves around Otto's relationship

with his neighbors, specifically Marisol and Tommy. They just moved into the

neighborhood with their two daughters. Despite Otto's demeanor, that you might charitably call

grouchy, Marisol and Tommy are determined to make friends. In this scene, they show up at Otto's

door with a peace offering. Some food.

Hi.
