The year is 1990 and this podcast is approved by the American Dental Association and we promise

we're gonna go easy on the Pepsi, the movie Home Alone.

Hey everybody, welcome to UnSpooled. I'm Amy Nicholson. And I am Paul Sheer and this is the podcast where we are endeavoring to find the hundred best movies of all time.

And when we do, we will shoot them into outer space. We are right now searching for the best fucked up family film.

We're in the middle of our miniseries and Amy what better way to celebrate family? And also the holidays with the ultimate fucked up family, the Macalisters.

We are talking about Home Alone and I cannot be more excited about it.

This is perfect. This is for every kid who ever wish they could make their family disappear and also that they could test medieval torture implements on strangers they just met.

Now very different than last week's film, the farewell which really has stuck with me. I know we've been watching a lot of these films but I think the thing that keeps on echoing through my head after watching farewell is that speech that the grandma gives where she talks about

embracing life essentially. You know she's like no one wants you to say that you're not a good singer and you know just get up there and sing and I really come back to that couple of times.

And just thinking about those like life lessons and the way that they did.

I don't know as an audience member I feel like we got all that good family knowledge given to us for free. We didn't even have to be a part of that family.

That's true and you know I bet Nene would have some positive things to say about Kevin Macalister you are a kid doesn't think you can pack your own suitcase and look at you buying fabrics off.

I don't know what you do with fabric on her I've actually really never used it.

You know by the way it's bad for the skin.

I will say I do use fabrics off. I do is it bad for the skin?

That's what I heard I heard it makes your skin break out on your pillow case. I don't know.

Interesting. I'm going to take a look at that. I will tell you this much that in deleted scene Kevin gets help buying fabrics off from a woman at the store.

So he isn't as independent as the film makes him out to be. These are the facts that I know Amy I know a lot of facts about home alone.

I'm excited to talk to you about it. But before we get into home alone. I want to ask you what's your favorite Christmas movie?

Oh gosh. You know I would have to say a movie that is not known as good.

But it is my family's Christmas movie and it is Santa Claus Conquer's The Martians.

Of course you're going to say that. I know.
