Nick and Cory revisit the classic sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which Cory firmly believes is superior to the original. Join us as we explore the critic and audience scores, lament of Roger Ebert's disdain for these movies, and debate which movie is superior.
We deep dive FAO Schwartz, the high-end toy store (that actually exists!) the multiple versions of video games for these movies (and Nick's struggle to beat them), and even discuss who might make THAT hotel cameo in a updated version of the movie.
We'll finish up with a look at the missed opportunities for a proper trilogy and a quick peek into Macaulay Culkin's career post-Home Alone. We promise, you'll walk away with a newfound appreciation for both movies and a healthy dose of nostalgia! So, come join us for this short holiday trip through the Big Apple!
