John Hughes and Home Alone

Let Jordan and Alex be your filthy animals of facts on this exploration of what might possibly be the most violent movie in the holiday canon. They'll explain the feud with a comedy legend that helped set this production in motion, and also the insanity of Macaulay Culkin's literal rags-to-riches family drama — plus the time Joe Pesci bit him on the set, quite literally scarring him for life. You'll also learn which role Chris Farley nearly played, why John Candy was pissed at the production, all the ways they pulled off those brutal booby tracks, and what a doctor says those traps would do to you in real life.
