Tune in as Arthur’s Mom returns to 2CC for a discussion on Home Alone, the 1990 Christmas classic whose third act could have expanded into its own feature-length home invasion thriller. The hosts also touch on the state of airport security pre-9/11, the possibility of magic granting Kevin’s wish, and never being too old to be afraid.

Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter), Home Alone stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, Catherine O’Hara, John Heard, Devin Ratray, Gerry Bamman, Roberts Blossom, John Candy, and pre-Succession Kieran Culkin.

Spoilers start at 8:00
