35 years ago, Kevin McCallister was left home alone… and 35 years later, so are some very controversial opinions.
Dave, Jack, and Hunter are joined by special guest Rory to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Home Alone, the holiday classic that defined a generation, launched one of the most iconic kid performances ever, and turned household booby traps into cinematic legend. But this isn’t your standard nostalgia trip.
Along the way, the crew revisits the film’s legacy, John Williams’ unforgettable score, its place in holiday-movie canon, and how Home Alone has aged 35 years later. Then comes the shocker: one of the hosts outright loathes the film, dropping a jaw-dropping 1.5-star Letterboxd rating that sends the conversation into full chaos mode.
Is Home Alone an untouchable classic—or a holiday relic propped up by nostalgia? A spirited anniversary debate awaits.
