Description

It's Christmas here at The Middle-aged Bodcast, and Raging Rich & T.A. Shelano are joined by returning favourite Dan P from Casting Views and Gaming Views for a festive deep-dive into one of the greatest Christmas films of all time: Home Alone.


We unpack why Home Alone still hits 35 years later: the slapstick chaos, the heartfelt moments, the brilliant performances from Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci and Catherine O'Hara, and the iconic lines that shaped every 90s childhood.


This is the perfect episode to listen to while wrapping presents, eating cheese pizza... or defending your home with improvised booby traps.


In This Episode:

🎄 Why Home Alone still works for modern audiences

🎁 Hidden facts, bloopers & behind-the-scenes stories

🏠 The Home Alone sequels: and whether anything after Lost In New York should exist

👀 A wild Home Alone sequel pitch you'll never unhear


Whether you're Team Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal or Team Wet Bandits, you'll want to listen to this.
