REPLAY: Episode 65 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

Hey, guys, we're still hoping to get a Christmas episode done,
but this past week hit a little snag. A good little snag. Jim's
wife just gave birth to their second child, so needless to say,
he's been a little busy this week. And this time she didn't go
into labor while we were recording, so that's good. See our
"Jerry Maguire" episode for when that happened.


And more good news: Keating is still childless. 


Anyway, in the meantime, we decided to repost our "Home
Alone 2" episode on our feed, so go enjoy (or re-enjoy) that one.
Or hate it (or re-hate it)—whichever you choose.

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:


Merry Christmas, you nosy little perverts! 'Tis the season to
steal your parents' credit card, check into the Plaza Hotel and
befriend a spooky Central Park pigeon lady with a secret lair
inside Carnegie Hall. That's right—it's time to dissect
everyone's favorite childhood sequel, "Home Alone 2: Lost in New
York."


Macaulay Culkin reprises his role as Kevin McCallister, a
sociopathic sadist who justifies his brutal torture of two
hapless petty criminals under the guise of preventing a Christmas
Eve burglary of a toy store that plans to donate its proceeds to
a children's hospital. Somebody needs to teach this kid that
vigilante justice is illegal and that insurance surely would have
reimbursed the toy store owner for his loses.


Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are back as Harry and Marv, a duo of
bumbling burglars who have escaped prison only to immediately run
into the boy who put them there. In this film, they really take a
licking, but they keep on sticking.


President Donald Trump also makes an appearance in the film as
himself, a weird-coiffed, megalomaniacal douche-nozzle with small
hands and an alleged micropenis.


Join us as we discuss our hatred of pigeons, the awfulness of the
Talkboy, and the exact severity of Harry and Marv's
injuries.
