Time On Screen: Home Alone

In this installment of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan is joined by Blake Buettner and Kat Shoulders for a special holiday episode. That’s right, it’s Home Alone week, and we’re running through what is undeniably one of the best Christmas movies of our generation, detailing the saga of a child abandoned by his family, and left to fend for himself against a pair of violent criminals. Home Alone is hilarious and has become a holiday staple, but it’s also deeply strange if you stop to think about it for even a moment. Why, for instance, does Kevin’s mom wear what is by her own admission a fake Rolex when she is clearly the matriarch of the most powerful mob family in all of Chicago? These are the questions we want answered as we dive into the details and fan theories of a truly enduring holiday classic.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.
