Keep the change, ya filthy animal! This week on Bury Our Bones With Cinema, Ryan Etherington and Simon Keet dive into the holiday classic Home Alone (1990). Directed by Chris Columbus and written by John Hughes, this heartwarming yet hilariously violent tale of a boy defending his house from two bumbling burglars has become a yuletide staple.
Ryan and Simon explore the film’s perfect blend of slapstick comedy, heartfelt family drama, and Kevin McCallister’s surprisingly ruthless ingenuity. From Macaulay Culkin’s star-making performance to the iconic traps that made Harry and Marv’s lives a nightmare, they unpack why Home Alone continues to charm and delight audiences of all ages.
With Jimmy Murphy providing festive original music and sketches, this episode is guaranteed to deliver all the nostalgic laughs and holiday cheer you need this season.
Whether you’re revisiting the McCallister household for the hundredth time or discovering it for the first, this episode is a must-listen. So grab some popcorn, lock your doors, and tune in—it’s better than a cheese pizza just for you!
