The boys (Quinn, Curtis, and John) are back in town to present another Christmas classic: 1990's O. G. HOME ALONE (1990), starring the eternal Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Katherine O'Hara, and helmed by director Chris Columbus, written by John Hughes, and scored by John Williams. The lads discuss their favourite scenes and moments, the film's cultural impact and sequels, Macaulay Culkin, slapstick humour, and the many wondrous cameos. Before they talk about the movie, they also reveal what's on their watchlist and what they watched this week. Tune in next week as they return to the shadows with the original BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974)!
