Critically Acclaimed: The Home Alone Movies

Did you know there are five HOME ALONE movies? It’s true, and because we’re completely out of our minds we watched them all for this week’s CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED! We’re diving deep into this troubling family movie franchise to explain why the original films might never have been great, why the fifth film is arguably the best in the series, and why the third and fourth films might make you want to gouge out your eyes. Plus, we’ve also got new reviews of RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET, ROBIN HOOD, CREED II, THE FAVOURITE, SHOPLIFTERS and THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES, and we’re saying goodbye to Nicholas Roeg, Ricky Jay and Bernardo Bertolucci.
