In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into Home Alone 4, a straight-to-TV sequel that many fans of the franchise prefer to forget. With a mix of humor, sarcasm, and genuine bewilderment, they dissect the film’s nonsensical plot, questionable acting, and bizarre production choices—including why it was filmed in South Africa.

The episode kicks off with the usual banter and introductions, including the debut of a new nickname for host Eric, sparking a hilarious conversation about language mishaps. From there, the team breaks down the film’s storyline, from the baffling family dynamics of the McCallisters to Marv Merchant’s inexplicable return as a villain.

Key topics include:

• The absurdity of Home Alone 4's plot and its failure to stay true to the franchise.
• The bizarre set of traps and gadgets Kevin McCallister uses this time around.
• A debate on whether a top-tier actor like Denzel Washington or Patrick Swayze could have salvaged the film.
• The film’s connection to historical events and its inadvertent contributions to cinema’s evolution.
• A comical legal analysis of Marv’s extensive criminal record and what his real-life legal consequences would look like.
• The revelation of the movie’s true MVP—cab driver Anton Smuts—and the philosophical depth of his line: "It's all change."

As always, the hosts cap off the discussion with their signature courtroom-style closing arguments, passionately arguing whether Home Alone 4 is so bad it’s good—or just irredeemably awful. They also tease the next film on their hit list: Drop Zone (1994), starring Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey.

If you love bad movies and even better discussions, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Tune in for a hilarious and insightful critique of one of the most puzzling sequels ever made!
