Ep. 64: Home Alone — Holiday Hijinks, Heart, and the 35-Year Rewatch

Kevin McCallister turns 35 this year — and so does the movie that made him a legend. 🎄🔥

This week, Jeff & Josue revisit Home Alone (1990), the Christmas classic that shaped entire generations of ‘90s kids and continues to dominate holiday watchlists.

From forgotten plane tickets to furnace trauma, booby-trapped basements, and the unexpectedly emotional themes you don’t notice as a kid, this episode dives into everything that still works — and what hits totally differently as adults and parents.

Plus: real-life Home Alone logic, the most painful trap, the best (and worst) McCallister parenting moments, and why this movie might be one of the smartest Christmas films ever made.
