Home Alone 2 | Episode 047 Critical Mess Movie Podcast

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. Home Alone 2 is a family comedy from 1992 about 10-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) and his unadulterated, violent rampage through New York City. While framed as the protagonist, it’s hard to argue Kevin is not the antagonist, as he steals, manipulates, and maims his way toward whatever he desires. This mostly translates to eating ice cream, inflicting pain on hapless adults, and chilling with Donald Trump. Home Alone 2 has a 35% rating with critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 62% rating with audiences.
