The only way this would have made sense is if the plane crashed upon taking off so that they never knew and everyone just died. That would have made sense that he was left alone for a little bit. - What the hell? - There wouldn't have been his Christmassy. (laughing) Welcome back to another edition of New Heights Film Club, where you're all some Travis Kelsey. This is my brother, Jason Kelsey. The smoothest guys you know, the guys have watched movies very, very closely. - We do. - We do, and then give you a good. Subscribe on YouTube, won't you plus, wherever you get your podcasts and follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with 1S. Jason, why don't you tell the people what exactly we have for this episode. - Coming up on this film club, we are joined by Kylie Kelsey to revisit this 1990 Christmas classic. Home Alone, it's a good one, it's a good one. - Let's check it out right now. - Let's hear it. - That's right, we're gonna do a little Christmas New Heights Film Club edition and the film that you guys chose for us to review is none other than the Christmas classic, Home Alone 1990, this move came out in 1990. - It was a 1990, I was surprised by that too. - Wow, yeah. - Older than I thought it was. - I feel like I saw it when it was brand new, but I was only three years old, I doubt I did. - I think it, no, I think Home Alone 2 was the one that we were like, - Was it what you were? - Yeah, what was that, you're looking it up? - No, I'm not looking at anything. - Home Alone 2 was, no, it was 92, so we still were pretty young. Yeah, either way, definitely thought it was more mid to late 90s because we were kids when we first were watching it, but still a classic though. - When did you see the movie, you weren't even born? - Yeah, look at me, so young. - So young. - I probably saw it, I saw it sometime in the 90s, I know that. - Okay, yeah, I mean, that mirrors it down. - So before I was eight. - It's a good one for the kids, have the kids seen it? - Yeah. - The kids have seen it, Ellie calls it Home Alone, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very. - Tell her, love that. - Benny does not like the slipping thing. - She does not. - She freaks her out, thanks to that. - She says it. - I don't know why, I don't freak her out that much. - Ellie was asking me about the zipline the other day. Took us a while to figure out what the hell she was talking about and she was asking me whether or not you can zipline on the power line. - Well, she didn't say the word zipline. - No, she didn't, she said on that rope. And then we had to get to, you know, the guy in Home Alone does it. And I'm like, I'm gonna need more context in that. And she's like, you've seen the movie, mom. And I'm like, yeah, a couple times, but I still don't know what the hell you're talking about. - Still making no sense. - Yeah, so we got to the bottom of it. She meant zipline. - I will say that when I was a kid, that was one of the parts of the movie where I was like, that I want that. - For sure. - You can zipline out of that. - That's what I want. - I wanted a dog out of my way. - I think out of my window, I don't even need, they don't even need to see me downstairs. - I can go right to my tree house. I wanted a tree house. - I mean, I was like, it was just, yeah. I'll say this, when the first scene hits after the, like, - When that music starts cramping. (humming) (humming) - Yep. - So he's all of the classic one. - It is so magical. It just like, it like lists me and I like start floating. - Yeah, the score is fantastic. It's a very well made film. - I'm glad it was the first Christmas movie I watched this year because it really did make me be like, oh wow, it is. This is Christmas, it is Christmas, Christmas is happening. And we're here, we finally made it to December and that is the magical season is upon us. - Well, let's start recapping the movie. Let's do this, okay. How does it hold up? - Oh, it's still crack. - Very well. - It's still incredible. There's a few things that are starting to get dated, but because it's an nostalgic movie that takes place in a time, it's a period specific film now, I guess so. - Yeah, teacher's kids can't trust cops. - Well, can't trust, can't trust cops. - Cricket cops, yeah. You can, you can't trust cops, but you can trust the creepy man across the street. - Well, she made it with the shovel. - Yeah. He just looks at you awkwardly. - Yeah. - Have you ever wished for your family to disappear for sure? - Who are you talking about when you're growing up or right now? - All the above. (laughing) (laughing) - Maybe not wished for it, but definitely like thought of a life where it wasn't the reality. And then was like, all right, whatever, that's not ever gonna happen. - It's not even worth wishing. (laughing) - It's not even worth, I only get a few wishes. The ones that I really want to come true, yeah. - Did you guys ever run away from home? - No. - I definitely did. - Yeah, me too. - I definitely ran away. - I might have packed a bag, but I was such a rule follower, I was like, I can't run away. - I think I like grabbed a bag of chips and threw it in a backpack and like a few toys and then fucking got down the street and just like hidden the bushes. - I do think that there should be a trend on social media of what was packed in a kid's runaway bag. And not grownups who are recounting it, I'm talking about when a grown-up - Talk to the ass. - Takes a picture of a kid's runaway bag. I think that that would be, 'cause you know it's gonna be, it's gonna be three legos, right? - Juice box. - A stuffy, a single juice box probably already drank and maybe a half a snack. Done. - Yeah, you guys are ahead of me. I never, I didn't even pack a bag. I just walked, fuck you guys and I walked out the door and I started walking. - He ran away the same way he goes to Vegas. - Just, I know where I'm going has everything I need. You know I got to the stop sign and says, "I don't know where I'm going." - And I don't have to go to my friend's house. - He doesn't know how to get there, Travis. - I was just good at that. - Hey, listen, Jason, yeah. Everyone was terrified of Jason - Leaving. - Because he never make it home. - We would really have to search for him. - All right, I'll let you add to this, Travis. Who was the Kevin and who was the buzz in the Kelsey household? - I think it's, I think it's gonna stand true no matter what household it is. The older siblings. - It's buzz. - Versus the younger siblings. 'Cause it's just, I mean, it is what it is. The older siblings always, you know, have fun with picking on the younger ones and the younger ones always wish that they were older and like had more responsibilities so they would stop getting treated like they were irresponsible. - So you identify as Kevin? - Yes, 100%. - I always watch the movie thinking I was Kevin. - I never watched it and I like saw myself as Kevin. I liked Kevin, I liked the movie, but I never was. - Jay, I don't know that you're a planner like Kevin. - The honestly, the Rube Goldberg sister that he implemented is. - The map, the entire map that he had that he was like. - I mean, it's like, oh, it's a coordinate. - Who is fucking brilliant? I was like, holy shit, I didn't even remember that from like the first like 30 times I watched the movie. I saw that map and I was like, whoa. - Wow, this kid. - Kevin's gonna be something. - Dial. - Yeah, exactly. - Kevin's going somewhere. - He's going somewhere for sure. - Thank you, George Spacher, American Express. - Hey, oh, there's nothing like going from a relaxing airport lounge to an even more relaxing hotel followed by dinner, a concert, and then doing it all over again. - With the newly enhanced American Express Platinum Card up in your travel game and eating your pre-game meal, just got a whole lot better. - You unlock access to the largest global airport lounge network and global hotel program with a suite of benefits as compared to other credit card programs. - Traveling with my American Express Platinum almost feels like a personalized experience. I get to watch some college football in the lounge, jet off to see some friends and enjoy the journey along the way. - Plus, when I'm exploring a new city, I have access to dining benefits at over 10,000 U.S. Rezzy Restaurants and exclusive access to unique experiences worldwide. - Yes, you do. That's rewards for lounging, flying, and dining. - If that's your thing. - With an array of premium travel, dining, and entertainment benefits all backed by American Express's award-winning service, there's nothing like Platinum. - Terms apply, learn more at americanexpress.com/withplatinum. - Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head. - Ooh, little meat. The end of the season is in full swing and you know what that means. Time to eat meat. (laughing) - Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend. - Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgain or before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd. - You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch. - Yes. - Their platters are literally a game changer. We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more. What's your go-to-delly platter, Jason? - I mean, any of 'em, I don't know. I did anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got pepper jack, you got provolone, you got cheddar, you got beer cheese.
you got salami, you got kielbasa. - There you go. - Don't be all R2 with me, Ritz crackers. Maybe you can do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are round. Those are kind of nice too. If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game, they spread and score big with your entire home gating. That's tailgating at home. Visit your local boards at Deli, they'll hook you up with a ready made platter. Ooh, or you can build on your own. There you go, either way you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor. Boarshead committed to craft since 1905. How about it? - It's just a great name too. - Over 100, yeah, you know what you're getting. - Boarshead. - Hi, well, let's recap the plot. For those of you that don't know, if you've-- - Are there people who haven't seen home? - Living under a rock since the 90s. - I don't think I've ever met anybody that hasn't seen home alone. - I mean, there's some young people that have probably not seen it, if we're being honest. It is made in the 90s. There are people that surprisingly don't know anything about the 90s that I frequently encounter. - What's the name? - So I think they're out there. - That's sad for them. - Die. Recap of the movie. There is a family, the McAllister's, who are vacationing over the holidays to France. Not just mom, dad, and the kids, but a full house. - Going to business of family over there. - Big family vacation, going over to France for Christmas. And as they are getting ready, there is also a group of burglars. This is a very well-off area who have decided to try and stake out a neighborhood to find out which families are leaving for the holidays and which homes might be good ones to rob. And when the family is getting ready to leave the night before power outage, so there are alarm clocks don't go off on time. The family has to rush out the door in the morning because they're running late to the airport. And in this rush, they forget one of their sons. They forget Kevin McAllister. He's in the home, up in the attic, a sleep. They get to the airport. They think they got everybody. They take off for France and mom doesn't realize 'til she's halfway over the ocean that poor old Kevin is still in the mean streets of Chicago. Kevin wakes up, where's my family? Has no idea all of a sudden? - Well, he wished for his family to never wake up. I didn't want to, yeah, I guess that is an important part. He did wish. So he at first he thinks that he actually wished them away. And Santa Claus said, "Grandit him as Christmas wish." And then he realizes the predicament he's in and that he's a child and he can't fend for himself and he starts to panic and all of these things happen where he's fearful, what not. And I guess in order to say the plot, these burglars that have been casing out the neighborhood know that the McAllister are leaving. So they go back to this neighborhood to burglarize a bunch of different homes. They call themselves the wet bandits. And-- - That's our thing, it's so good. - In the process of burglarizing these homes, Kevin notices one of the burglars who is in his house and perhaps the worst idea ever for a burglar to go expose your face to a bunch of people before you're out their home, before you've done it. It just seems like a very bad idea. - The wet bandits were too good. (laughing) - Hey, let's go robber these homes, hey first, let's go show up at their house and show our face and then when they come back, like hey, the cops were coming around the neighborhood earlier this week. No, we weren't. We had a cop in our house and we didn't, no cop was in that neighborhood that night. - Yeah, it was a cop of the gold tooth. - Anyways, yeah. Anyways, Kevin notices this burglar and he realizes that he's in trouble. So instead of having a security system like you would expect a very wealthy family of the McAllister's-- - What's the 90's? - The 90's? - Okay, he's still in security systems and the 90's did, but the 90's did, but the 90's did, but the 90's did. - But nice neighborhoods, yeah. - Dennis, McAllister is their own gone, Kevin's by himself, wet bandits are coming in. Kevin has to try and figure out a way to deter them. He does a great job of utilizing light systems and all this typical things, but eventually the wet band has realized he's on his own. He knows that they know that he's on his own, so he's got to think smart. So he decides to set up a series of Roode Goldberg events throughout his entire house to inflict damage, harm, and slow these burglars down. He's not calling the cops what? Because the power lines, the kind of the phone lines don't work in this ridiculous made up scenario. Is that what's happening? - Get, I don't think he ever thought to call the cops. I think he just like took it upon himself to defend himself. - This whole fucking, okay, so yeah. I'd want to get to the end of this so we can get to the absurdity of this plot. Anyways, in epic fashion, Kevin gets the better of the wet band. It's time and time again. Joe Pesci and god damn it. What's the other action? - I remember it. - It's not Randy Quay. - What's the fuck? - He's very good. - Daniel Stern. - Daniel Stern. One of the two names in the, fuck. - Harry and Marv. - Harry and Marv, thank you. Marv is a, Daniel Stern, right? - Yes. - Harry and Marv, they try to get into the McAllister's house. Kevin McAllister does a great job of setting up all these booby traps. They can't get in, they're trying to get in. Eventually they get in, then they get up to the attic, then he ziplines out of the attic. It's a whole thing. I have no point in robbing them. They're just trying to apparently get Kevin and kidnap him or something like that. - Yeah. - At some point, they just say, fuck this. His kid is ruining our day. We're about to get after this motherfucker. - And it all ends with the neighbor down the street saving the day. And, Noah Bandit's being caught and Kevin being reunited with his family, safe and sound. Where do we wanna start off with this? - I wanna start off with, we kind of mentioned earlier that I always thought I was Kevin. Do you guys now watch that movie as if you're the parents? - I don't think you put yourself in the night. - This might be the most unremountable parents I've ever seen in a Christmas movie. I mean, it's just blatantly. I mean, listen, everybody goes to like, you leave without one of your kids and put something up. I feel like that's like a very standard thing. You should not feel shame for that necessarily. Maybe you forget about it long enough to take off an airplane. Yeah, I probably should feel some shame there. But who the fuck, like I just don't understand how you can't call somebody to go get this fucking kid? Like, there wasn't cell phones back then, Jason. - Yeah, I don't know. - I think it was premise that this one neighborhood is out of phone activity. You could call the cops, they have ways. - They did, they called the cops. - No, they did call the cops. - She called the cops in like that area. - No, she called the cops in her neighborhood. - Why are we calling, if they aren't helping, I'm calling other cops, I'm calling family members that are still there. They're holding, I'm calling friends. - No, we call the family, we're in the plot of the movie. There is precisely zero percent chance that I am just waiting a couple days before I can fly back to Chicago to see what happens with Kevin. This is the most ridiculous premise. - She got back into like a day and a half. - I know there's no scenario where you wouldn't be able to get somebody, like anybody who got that call, anybody who got that call said, "Hey, I'm in the airport. I'm on an airplane going to France. I'm in France. I left my kid, could you go do that?" - If it was like two hours away, I would drive to go get a kid out from being by them. Like this is just a, it's the dumbest thing I've ever read. - You only get so many calls at the airport, Jason. - It's like jail, and we know that. - That's the nostalgia of the 90s though, is that there is like that, it sounds so easy to just pick up your cell phone right now and just call everyone in that area and find it. - I'm not letting that out. - I am not letting them know. - I don't know, if it was that easy. - That easy. - It was that easy. Everybody had landlines and anybody in the 90s could have received a phone call. This isn't the fucking 30s, where you had to go to an operator and you all know, people, new people's numbers. I could have called it Judy, who would have drove 40 minutes across town to keep you all their family, all their family went with them to France. I could have called Steve Bogus to come pick you up. I could have called a fucking, I would say this, the dad in this movie was very disinterested. He was like, "Mario, sweetie, you're going to try "I mean, that says there's no flights for another three days. "I'm going to keep fucking up." - Fighting uphill, battle right now, John. - He's lost. - Yeah, he did. - He's done, it's over. - He'll figure it out. - We got the whole other family to be - We can't ruin him for the first time. (laughing) - He's so true. - I got that, that's a great question. - I forgot how easy it was to get on a plane with a ticket. You didn't, she just handed this entire pile of tickets to the flight attendant. I was like, "Yeah, this is all of us." She's like, "All right, cool, go on up." - Yeah, all right. - Good luck. - Didn't even count the, how many tickets that had and how many people they had. I was like, "Oh, nice, we were looking for you." - It's not good. - I do think they did their best to explain a way as much as they possibly could by saying that. - That a child would be home alone? - No, by saying that all of their extended family, like every single person in their family was going on the show. - Why are we acting like we don't have phone numbers to people that aren't immediately on our fan? This guy worked at some fucking business. Like, you could have called a coworker. Like, there's no way there's nobody get on there. - He actually didn't give a shit. - Yeah, he really is like, yeah. - That's that. He's like, are we gonna cry a song?
The only way this would have made sense is if the plane crashed upon taking off something they never knew and everyone just died. What the hell? There wouldn't have been his Christmassy. That's so messed up. All right. So, yep. Poor, poor banditing to go and show your face to the place you're about to rob before you go in there. Just have like somebody else that's not going to rob it. You just pay somebody else to go in there and scope it out. Yep. Yes, then you're adding another person to the knowledge that you're doing it. Yeah. But I just wait till everybody leaves. You gotta split it. Yeah. Um, I'm not a professional bandit. I just felt like that wasn't the wisest of choices. What was your favorite? What was your guy's favorite part of the movie? I like the opening the most, to be honest with you, watching the chaos of the Christmas and there's like so. It feels very relatable, like running around, getting pissed off about really stupid things that only like siblings would be pissed off about. Like the one like family member that wets the bed. There's this. Not being a pizza. Yeah, it's just, and it's, and it also like the, the two-liter jug of soda and like the paper plate. All of it is just like very reminiscent of my childhood. I feel like other than the enormously expensive house. Yeah. And the big family. And the big family. But we already, we were around a lot of people around the holidays, even though it wasn't family, it was friends and we'd go to holiday parties. Yeah. Now, the halls and their holiday party, their New Year's Eve party was always so much fun. That was great. Yeah. Shout out to the halls. What was your favorite part? I just, I love the, I love the mayhem, I love the mayhem of him planning how to fuck with them. Yeah. So good. So you're more about the planning than the actual. No, I know, I think the execution, but I do just, you have to, you have to appreciate how much thought and effort went into it. And the fact that it went off without a hitch. I mean, for it, things that happened precisely off of like a door opening. Like or distributed. Yes. Yes. Very well. Restraided. I like it. Traveled about you. I'm going to go with the scene where he steals the toothbrush. Then he runs away from the cops. It's an exciting scene. I think it was a very fun. Yes. He flanked. And I think the funny part of that whole thing is that a scene right after that. He immediately feels terrible for, for stealing. And he, I'm pretty sure he goes to church. Well, I thought, well, he goes into the car. So run away from the wet bandits. When he, by the way, very perceptive by Kevin, in that moment, to see Harry and realize that's the cop that was in my house. And that this is not an actual cop. And to like start walking away and then he runs to the church. He goes into the church before that or after that. He's in the church twice, isn't he? Yeah. Well, he goes into the church the night before. But then there is a scene where he runs to the church. I just thought it was so funny that he stole something. And then like as he's walking home, he's immediately tried to what he's immediately like, man, I didn't mean to steal this. I didn't have any other choice. Yeah. I do gotta say, I think it's probable. I didn't want to run from the cops. I think it's, it's got to be the best cast Christmas movie of all time. Like, could you think of anybody other than McColley Colcombeen, Kevin? Like the facial expressions. It's, he crushes it. He just did such a great job. Like, I don't know. Like the way he talks, he like feels more grown up. than what his age is. But he still looks like a child and innocent, but he's got like this great driving humor the only one that I know that talk to grown-ups at that age, like as if they were a grown-up was Patrick Bacon. He has literally had the same demeanor and like, ability to have conversations with grown-ups since we were like fucking three. He would like bargain with our, our East Side Kickers coach on like, how many laps? Like it was like a discussion. Like, everybody like conditioning, you had to do five laps. I don't know. What do you think about three? Three is good enough, right? I'm running. I mean, we're getting, we're getting it done, right? We're going to be running during practice too. So it might as well, you know. That's an interesting skill to have. Shout out to the Bacon's. It's time to think our partner. Who's that? Reese's or Reese's, however you like to call it. I'm pretty sure they would like us to say Reese's. So we're going to say Reese's and their perfect holiday companion, their Reese's trees. Oh, they are so good. Nothing says the holiday. Like Reese's, perfect peanut butter stuff, chocolate trees. They might be the best holiday candy ever. It's up for debate. Every holiday tradition is better when you add Reese's trees holiday movies. Yeah. I mean, those go definitely better with Reese's trees. Ugly sweater parties. I mean, who doesn't like chocolate stains all over their ugly sweater? I do. Skipping the ugly sweater party to watch football in your sweats instead. I mean, that's a no brainer of course. I mean, you throw on that ugly sweater anyways. Yeah. So celebrate the season with peanut butter perfection and be sure to grab Reese's trees today. Jason wants to tell him where to get them from. Well, it's found wherever candy is sold literally. You can find it everywhere. I think I called you Jason. Jason. Jason. Thank you to our partner, Gillette. All right. Now Jason, you've been retired for a full year. Let's talk pre-game rituals. Do you miss them? Still have them? I kind of have one, I guess, for money and I count down, like I kind of, I go to the production meeting, then I kind of iron out what's happening in the rundown, then I go to the makeup lady, then I go to the hair, and then I go on set. It's just curious to see if you were putting that same game day energy into your new broadcasting routine. That's all. Well, first and foremost, it includes making sure that this beard is looking real nice, which is starting to show some of my grades again after dying it, getting those natural colors back. Thank you. Thanks so much. But yeah, I have some grooming individuals that make sure it's looking nice and tidy. If you were looking for a tool to help wrangle it in a little bit, look no further than Gillette Labs NFL license razor. Special edition razors have those long lasting Gillette Labs blades and the precision trimmer on the back. That's perfect for cleaning up this guy. Nice. I hear it say must have for NFL fans this season and clearly you too. Sold available now 12 teams, including the Eagles and Chiefs, get it while you can at Gillette.com/NFL, Gillette. The best of fan can get. But I think that the cast is because in McCulley Colken, Joe Pesci and, uh, when is again, Daniel Stern, Marvin Harry, Catherine O'Hara's the mom. John Candy. Yeah, he's just leaving. Yeah, leaving out the band as a. He was more invested in her own husband wasn't finding. Yeah. Who's better? Marvin Harry. When you brought up best scenes, my favorite scene is really any scene where Marvin is screaming. He is fantastic. He has an electric scream. That's he for his head. John fire is one of the greatest. He just set off the baby monitor or I guess he gets electrocuted. Harry's the one that has the head on fire. When he's getting electrocuted and so good. He's he also steps on the ornaments. I do think that. Well, they both do, right? Or is it just him? I think it's him because I think Harry's at the door handle. Oh, yeah. The burning door handle. Joe Pesci kills it too. They're both so good. There's good in different ways. So great. It's got a whole like Lenny and, uh, like of Mice and Menfield with like Marv being the dummy and Joe Pesci being the the witty one, but he's really not that smart. Where are you guys ranking home alone as a Christmas movie? Well, we're doing PFF grades, right? But where where where does home alone rank? I just know why does no one want to ask who would who would nail this? Who would nail what? Who would go? Who would handle a home alone scenario the best out of all of us? Travis, not a question. Are you kidding me? I was fucking thrive. I've always thought Kevin McCallister was in Travis Killson. You don't even think I have a you don't even think I have a shot? I mean, it's just wow. No, you would have been more planned out. For sure. My instincts would have been fantastic. I just I just like this. Guys, they fucked around. I really think I could help them find out. Nice. Nice. Well done. Yeah. All right. Where's the ranking and everybody's rankings? I'll go top five. I can't
rank like that's all you like one two three exactly and I actually I think I'd like Home Alone 2 more really I don't I'm gonna have to go back and watch Home Alone 2 now I like Home Alone 1 definitely the most Home Alone 2 is good though still has the great same cast yeah I like the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2 yeah she was great top pot trying to think I like okay which movies do I like more than Home Alone love actually Christmas vacation Christmas story the Santa Claus the Grinch oh great one I'm not putting Santa Claus but I do like Santa Claus it's a good movie I just I think I like Home Alone 1 that um you know which one I really like which is a newer one but I watch it every Christmas now it's claws you do like a close from on Netflix yeah great Christmas movie kind of like a sucker for the claymation Rudolph OJ I think I like a elf better than Home Alone it's not top five I think it's just out of the top five for me I'm going I'm going I'm putting it in the top five with Grinch Home Alone 2 and an elf I'll probably say those are those three are probably the only ones I'm taking over it I think it's either top five maybe it's six but I'm saying like the Santa Claus is up there the original Grinch not the original I'm sorry the Jim Carrey Grinch yeah I mean love actually that's not surprised anyone um don't say anything nobody was asking yeah I'd say I'd say it's probably top five but I think it's like the number five slot all right P.F. Grinch uh Christmasness I think this is high in Christmasness it's all throughout the film the whole reason this is happening is Christmas it has it also has like that the the soundtrack the the setting all of it like it's just very Christmasy yeah 10 I don't know if it can get more Christmasy other than the Grinch yeah I mean it doesn't have like Santa Claus I guess or like it has a reference to him it does it does I don't know literally hasn't going to the church it has like the Jesus like what is it called in front of of the church every church everything yes yes it's not but it's not like the Grinch or Rudolph or Frosty like it's not like a story that is directly associated with the concept of Christmas yeah I'm trying to like think of it it's not it's not like 10 out of 10 to me but it's definitely very Christmasy I wonder how good 98 you go 98 you go 100 you want you want to go 98 boom 98 acting acting I'll 100 on this I don't think there's one piece of bad acting all directing ooh I'm gonna go another hundred just give him hundreds away just give him a hundred out I think I'm waiting I listen I knew you the movie wasn't that more plot I like it it this yeah that's more plot I think that's more plot he's gonna have a lot of questions he's gonna take it's gonna take the hit on the plot we can go okay if yeah 100 fine plot where we going plot I will go it's not a believable plot but is it a fun plot it's a fun plot it's not believable it's not based on a true story so I guess it doesn't have to be that believable but it does have some holes so I'll go out there 70 I was gonna say 80 or 85 I think the plot is so 90s it's so 90s and it's delightful what do you mean it's delightful in that way that it's so 90s it's making it's landline yeah like yeah I'm going to try what your number that's 80 85 nice violence uh violence what why you guys really enjoy violence that much we just needed we needed a bot we need a category of decent amount of the other category when it's usually not violence what is it we don't do Christmas action what is it acting directing plot all right it has I mean the violence is high that's not violent it's not violent it's it's it's physical harm yeah but it's not like a violent it's like a jockey it's like a three step yeah but like I mean everybody knows the iron print on the forehead I'm gonna go I mean I just don't know it's it's low on violence high in violence for a different Chris is a low on violence it's good to ruin his piano every I really is I don't what do we I don't yeah can we do a different category you should do you should do you should do if you're leading towards like the action part of it you should do more of like the the finding out action yeah like the action of it like when they what the action like the meat of it it's a high action doing that right entertain me entertaining miss the action it is is I give it a 90 yeah sounds good yeah that feels good there you go who's doing the math Brandon yeah did the math force okay did they put it in excess to be somewhere and yeah that's a round here it's a little bit yeah they definitely rounded that yeah no chance we got a 80 90 more look at him yep here we go 94.6 that was one of my favorite radio stations going up all right now well that does it for our home alone new heights holiday film club recap right there Jason you did a great job on recapping the movie as always Merry Christmas you're filming animals that was great you guys go and have the creepiest Christmas oh god and that wraps up another episode of new heights film club thank you to Kylie for joining us thank you so much we know that that is a lot for you sometimes we're we've also got a full holiday episode with Kylie dropping on christmas Eve make sure you're subscribed to my channel on YouTube and follow new ice channel on the wonderie app over every each podcast if you listen to new episodes and new heights add free right now by joining wonderie plus in the wonderie app or on Apple podcasts once again new heights was a wonderie show please follow the show on all social media at new heights show with 1s and thanks to our new height production team for being the best team that any teammate could ever ask for we love you guys and we love you 92% us appreciate you tuning in um unbiased opinion home alone 2s better see you guys next week
