Wow, what a hole
I can’t believe it took this long, but the Angry Video Game Nerd managed to snag Macaulay Culkin as a guest in the 164th episode of the show, which doubles as a Christmas special.
As you might expect the duo runs through everyHome Alonegame, including the European-only obscure PS2 release and the mostly NES/SNES adaptions of the first two films. Nearly every ’80s kid has playedthe trap-setting NES game, but you’ve probably never even seen at least one of the projects on display here.
While pretty much everyone lovesHome Alone, you could say I take it to the next level. I know every line from both films (it’s a shame they never made more than the two with Culkin, right), and at one point performed the entire first movie for my mom with props. I aspire to be half the parent she is one day.
Home Alone 2is generally lauded as inferior to the original, which is heralded as the only true “classic,” but there’s so many great moments packed in the sequel (a better “Angels with Filth[ier]Souls” scene, Tim Curry, the unbridled kindness of Mr. Duncan) it deserves to be in the same conversation.
This is getting “I should make a podcast aboutHome Alonewith someone” deep, so I’ll leave you to the video.
