Hey Now! Hey Now!

Home Alone (Christmas Classics Look Back)

Hey Now! Hey Now!

Show Notes

(Recorded in 2020) Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animals! 🎄 We had to say that, didn’t we? In this week’s yuletide movie review podcast episode, we dive into the ultimate holiday classic Home Alone (1990).

This film is more GOLD than Harry’s tooth and teaches essential life skills — like fending off burglars with household items and surviving annoying siblings. Whether you’re revisiting Kevin McCallister’s clever traps or laughing at his ultra-rich family chaos, this Home Alone movie review is packed with festive fun, nostalgia, and plenty of holiday chaos.

P.S. If Kevin McCallister’s RICH dad is reading this: we would love you to sponsor the podcast.

Pro Tip: Best listened to with takeaway pizza and a highly nutritional microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner (go easy on the Pepsi).
