In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films and one of his favourite films to watch at Christmas: the 1990 American Christmas family comedy film "Home Alone" - which stars Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern as Harry and Marv (burglars the "Wet Bandits"), John Heard as Peter McCallister (Kevin's father), and Catherine O'Hara as Kate McCallister (Kevin's mother). "Home Alone" has been a staple of Christmas for Mark and his family, as well as for many families, since its innitial release because of the entertaining way that it conveys the likelihood of how a resourceful eight year-old boy - in this case Kevin McCallister - might cope following his family accidentally leaving him home alone to fend for himself, as well as fend off the threat of two burglars with intentions on the contents of his family home. A great film for all ages, "Home Alone" just gets better with age - and for someone like Mark the film also serves as a doorway to his childhood and the many fond memories that he still recalls of watching "Home Alone" with his family every Christmas.
