Cinema Lab presents: "Home Alone" (1990)

The Cinema Lab team dives deep into the conspiracy theory-laden quagmire that is 1990's gold standard holiday favorite, "Home Alone"! Written and produced by John Hughes, directed by Chris Columbus, and starring Macaulay Culkin in a phenomenal breakout role, this film grossed HALF A BILLION DOLLARS and held the record for highest grossing live-action comedy for over two decades. But what about the McCallister family's connection to the Chicago mafia? Is this the last recorded sighting of the King of Rock and Roll himself? Was Old Man Marley more than just a sweet, lonely, neglected neighbor - and in fact a grave-robbing psychopathic taxidermist after all???
