What if Home Alone was recast in the year 2000?

We've taken a trip down memory lane, sprinkled with nostalgia, and examined this classic through a Y2K lens. Cory and Nick are joined by Cass and Ash, we've dissected the movie's intriguing characters, distinctive charm, and enduring impact. We've debated, argued, and finally selected our ideal cast - the results might surprise you!

Our love for Home Alone transcends just the movie, as we've also shared personal experiences and traditions surrounding this Christmas classic. We've also explored the technology's influence on the movie if it were set in 2000, and revealed surprising theories about Kevin's parents. So, are you ready for a nostalgic ride filled with films, Christmas, and a lot of merrymaking? If yes, then hit play!
