I genuinely have a lot of love for this channel and the people that are a part of it. I am graduating college this spring and have been watching since middle school. Love you guys!
I’m glad Eric is a very insightful commentator because I’ve seen this movie many times and never noticed the visual storytelling and details, which makes me appreciate the hidden meaning behind this movie. Like Home Alone is similar to A Christmas Carol is interesting. And I never noticed that the dad accidentally threw away Kevin’s passport. Love it
1:29:25 The reason he has to do laundry is the same reason he needed to buy a toothbrush; his parents packed his suitcase and took it with them on the trip. Thats also why he needed the milk, they used it up before the trip so it wouldn't be wasted going bad at home.
As someone from Illinois, I’ve always had an extra love for these “older” movies that I grew up with in 2001, since a lot of great movies took place in Chicago in the 80’s/90’s. This, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Ferris Bueller, Wayne’s World, Blues Brothers, etc.
I always wonder if the Santa guy was like “damn this poor kid his whole family is dead” rather than assuming they were missing. If a kid came over and said they wanted their family back, that’s what I might assume 😅
Yeah, that's the vibe I got, too. Kevin never says anything about how he wished them away, he just says "I want my mom and dad and siblings back, and my aunt and cousins i guess, and if he has time, my Uncle Frank". If I was that Santa, I'm not thinking "oh this kid got left alone" I'm thinking "he's an orphan asking Santa to bring his dead family back to life".
8:58 In novelization Kevin's dad is a businessman, mom is a fashion designer thus there are manequins in basement and during "party". Uncle who lived in France payed for vacation. 1:11:57 Kevin might've seen the pizza guy standing near cop first night, so of course he's suspicious 1:46:17 The plan is to catch the bandits on the crime scene. Also, John Williams basically put a spin on Nutcracker soundtrack, preparation music is "Carol of the Bells", which is based on the Ukrainian song "Shchedryk". nothing totally original. "The responsible" is sadly unknown but it has to be an adult, cause why would you have passports and tickets in the kitchen? It had to be packed. And one idiot had to bring ALL tickets and ALL pasports there.
Yeah, Making the plane is basically Russian dance. I would say that composer for Anastasia did a better job creating original soundtrack that felt familiar, but didn't "borrowed" so much.
44:50 I'm blaming Harry. Because he was so focused on robbing Kevin's house, the Christmas magic made certain that the only child in the area that was not only smart enough, but brave enough and crazy enough to be able to torture, punish, and bamboozle the wet bandits and then get them arrested was home to do it. It then happens again when Harry does not learn his lesson, but then goes to New York to continue to rob and steal, so Christmas magic calls in Kevin again to save the day and punish the sticky bandits.
I always thought that the Santa guy thought that Kevin was a straight up orphan whose family died or something and that's what his face changing was about :(
Yeah, he has no reason to think Kevin was just a kid left home alone when all Kevin told him was "hey tell Santa that all I want for Christmas this year is my family back"
Buzz is the real villain of this movie. if he hadn't antagonized Kevin, none of the subsequent mishaps would have happened. this was delightful! Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! 🎄🎅💖
23:01 It's so funny to me that they think open seating on a plane is crazy because I mostly fly on Southwest and its still that way lol. I like it personally. But I do now live in the Midwest, so I know Southwest isn't as big of an airline out here.
If we're talking about who's responsible for Kevin being forgotten, then that's the parents. If we're talking about what the initial causal factor was, then that's Kevin himself for not wanting to share a bed with Fuller.
I don’t know why they’d want Kevin to share a bed with Fuller anyways cause if Fuller wets the bed then you have two kids to clean up in the middle of the night.
Common ways to check the time up through the mid 90s… A) Weather Channel 2) Preview Channel and D) Call a local number (usually a bank?) that specifically was designated to telling you an automated time and weather forecast I used to watch the Weather and Preview Channels frequently just for the vibes and a fascination with the organization and statistics. And I used to call the local phone number just because I thought it was neat(?) to call it twice in a row and make sure the time updated the second time. 😅 Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals!
Fun fact, I remember seeing a documentary thing and they said the tarantula scream was actually silent so they didn’t scare it. The scream was added after 🕷️
This is hands down my favorite Christmas movie, in fact it’s one of my favorite movies *period.* There’s a really good episode of a docu-series called “The Movies That Made Us” that covers a lot about the making of it, like the red and green set design that Eric points out. It’s a personal tradition of mine now to watch that episode every year. Didn’t get the chance to watch the movie with the family this year like usual, so when I saw this I got SO excited 😂 🎊 🎄 Merry Christmas !🎄 🎊
love this, hope you guys do the the second one because hot take, i love this one but i kind of like the second one a little bit better, probably because of Tim Curry😅
42:09 I’m more of it being Buzz fault! The dad wouldn’t have had a chance to accidentally through out a ticket if it wasn’t for Buzz Malice mocking eating Kevin’s Cheese Pizza! 😂
16:00 “parents will never believe they left this kid at home.” In a house with like 10+ kids…it’s absolutely possible 1 kid gets overlooked. Parents have forgotten their 1 and only child at the store before. It’s 100% possible to not notice a kid out of the child hoard 😂
I have nothing but good memories of basements as a kid because basements were not something that anyone had where I grew up. But then we go stay at my aunt and uncle’s house for holidays and stuff, and they had a really nice basement that was basically just more rooms of the house. But it was special to me because I just thought it was really cool to have rooms underground. Felt like something out of a comic book to me back then.
I've always interpreted his "Buzz, I'm going through all your stuff!" taunting as him assuming this is too good to be true and testing if they're actually gone, even if he's doing these forbidden things because he thinks they are gone.
The pizza time was a real thing. Most if not all pizza places abandoned it because it did make the drivers drive like maniacs and resulted in many accidents.
You missed the biggest detail regarding how they forgot Kevin! If you look at the plane ticket envelope in the trash can, at the top right the name Kevin is written on it. They labeled each ticket with the respective traveler's name and it was specifically his that got tossed.
Ok, for real, if I was the old man and saw the kid yelling, my first thought would be, "Where are your parents and why aren't you inside?" And later at the pharmacy, "Dude seriously! Where are your folks?!" Also as a little kid I had a soft spot for monsters, Halloween and creepy shit, so when I was watching this young I actually found the old man to be badass instead of scary. The theme music with the boots and then bell ring theme with his gaze is just boss🤘🎄
I watched a video recently of someone buying the exact same items or similar items and compared the difference in price between 1990 to 2024 is crazy. In the movie Kevin paid $19.83 and the same items or similar items bought today worked out at around $62.54. 😮
Speaking as a Chicago suburbanite, that pizza promise is ridiculous, especially since most pizza places around here also sell deep dish pizza, and there’s no way that’s cooked fully and delivered in less than half an hour
Chris Columbus was asked in a recent interview how the parents could afford such a big house he said the mom was a successful fashion designer hence all the mannequins and other stuff in the basement, but he couldn't completely remember what the dad did he thinks it was a something to do in advertising.
As much as I love this movie there's one thing that always stood out to me that I wish was reversed - so much so remembered the movie differently for several years until I watched it again. Just construction wise Kevin should steal the toothbrush before the cop comes to his door - that way the cop can announce "it's the police" like he should and kevin would still hide thinking the police were still after him for the toothbrush. It'd help the police look less incompetent and just make more sense to me. It's not important, this movie is still brilliant but I always notice it now that'd it'd just flow better to switch the order of those two events. It might even help explain why even doesn't immediately call the cops later as he thinks he'll be arrested too if that became a bit more of a thread thinking that the cops had already tried to get him twice.
a lot played into why no one noticed kevin wasnt with them/he stayed home alone, BUT the only ones responsible are the adults in the house. more specifically his 2 parents. Even more so, his mom because she was the one that put him up there and told kids to do things they shouldve been on top of. And although i say she's most at fault, i also think she was the only one that noticed, felt guilty, took the situation serious/felt concerned and overall really care about kevin. i know families tease and fight each other, but his whole family either didnt care or were extra toxic and/or lack emotional intelligence to be on a little kids ass like that.

#1 Rule of being a Kid Make trouble but never get in trouble@@aletrice8884
I always assumed it was because Harry was dressed pretty identically to the actual police, so Kevin didn’t think the police could be trusted
Eric's commentary for this one is fantastic. Fun and informative.
I couldn't watch it because of it. gave up after 10 minutes.
@lstsnwfll Fair I can see how some wouldn't like it.

If you don't get at least a little choked up when Kevin and the old man talk about his son, you have no heart.

Heather's a kid herself, all blame ultimately falls to Kevin's parents
She was supposed to count kids. She had the right number of kids. Not her fault.
Totally on the adults, not her. I agree.
If we're blaming any parents it should be the parents of the random kid that was counted for raising such a nosy little asshole
eric is exactly like me when i'm high, i can't stop talking lol
this was less of a watch along and more of and eric breakdown video and im here for it.
Love Eric's commentary 😂
This may be the best one yet 😆 Merry Christmas Blind Wave!
Please do more of these with movies/show episodes you love. Also Eric’s trivia’s about the film was great. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
I believe when Heather is counting everybody she is counting herself three times because she is counting the parents
I remember watching this movie and recognizing Kieran Culkin when I saw Fuller 😭😭😭
This is my first "get high" format, and I just want to state that Eric is very talkative when he gets high lol
Frank is that one family member who always ruins special occasions that Zazu mentioned in The Lion King.
This is the first year I haven’t put any effort into Christmas and it’s heartbreaking
I love y’all thank you for making my crappy Christmas better!
starting this at like 11pm on Christmas eve so blind wave can take me into Christmas
