EP. 349.1 — Home Alone (Re-Release)

Amy & Paul break into 1990’s abandoned child comedy phenomenon Home Alone! They praise John Candy as the film’s MVP, learn why Joe Pesci was tougher to wrangle on set than any of the child actors, and debate whether Kevin McCallister is a sociopath.

 

You can rent Home Alone on all platforms but don’t forget to check your local library or apps like Hoopla and Kanopy!
