About Home Alone Rewind Presented by Nineteen Ninety What
We are excited to share this Christmas season with you! Our new Rewind miniseries will cover the Home Alone series of classic Christmas movies, direct-to-video sequels-in-name-only, and a "legacy sequel" thing they put up to stream on Disney Plus. Nothing says "Christmas" quite like spending thousands on an extravagant vacation, only to leave your most troubled child behind.
We've arrived at Christmas Eve, and we've arrived at the ultimate destination for this Rewind miniseries, 1990's Home Alone. This is the beginning of the best Christmas movie franchise in existence, even if there are only a small handful of good movies in the bunch.
We tried to do this great movie justice, and along the way we tangent into The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Ren & Stimpy, Don Henley and growing up in the hood.
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)
Kevin McCallister has been separated from his family for the second year in a row (but really, the movies came out 2 years apart). This time Kevin winds up in a magical land beyond the seven levels of the candy cane forest, past the castle of the abominable snowman, past the sea of swirly, twirly gumdrops and through the Lincoln Tunnel: New York City!
Fortunately Kevin is equipped with a perfect device for a lil stinker, a Talkboy with a voice changer. And of course, because he's the eternally resourceful Kevin McCallister, he is able to use this device to book a suite at the world-renowned Plaza Hotel, New York's most exciting hotel experience. He's also able to record hard evidence on the crimes of the escaped convicts, Harry and Marv, now calling themselves The Sticky Bandits.
This ep is packed with lots of fun 1992 talk, and we get into Disney's The Jungle Book, getting a Sega Genesis for Christmas, hockey, school cafeteria lunches, Sunkist vs. Fanta Orange soda, finding out the truth about the Big Guy in Red, and lots more!
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Home Alone: The Bad Sequels (3-5)
We couldn't picture watching all 3 of these bad Home Alone sequels, and we couldn't imagine making you listen to 3 episodes worth of that. So we each watched one of them, and sum them up for you in our own way in this one compact ep. You don't have to watch these movies, unless you're some sort of masochist who hates spoilers for irrelevant movies.
Mike watched 2012's Home Alone: The Holiday Heist. It has a haunted house/mobster subplot, a hidden speakeasy, and made Mike wanna drink.
Jake watched what legitimately sounds like the worst idea for a Home Alone movie ever, with 2002's Home Alone 4.
Adam watched 1997's Home Alone 3, and, though I forgot to mention it in the episode, one of the biggest letdowns was that the kid never used the yellow Sega Game Gear he had hanging from his utility belt on the movie poster. False advertising. Deal Breaker. Game over.
We also tangent about sleeping on the floor, cold showers, and The Office.
