This week on The Internet Explorer’s Podcast, Jimmy does something a little different—he hands over the reins to his good buddy, Cliff Hanger, who takes us on a wild ride through the world of Alternate Cut, where classic films get reimagined in entirely new genres.
Cliff’s pick? None other than Home Alone—but this isn’t the holiday hijinks you remember. Instead, Cliff transforms it into a psychological thriller, stripping away the slapstick and replacing it with paranoia, survival horror, and an unsettling descent into Kevin McCallister’s fractured psyche.
In this reimagined Home Alone, Kevin isn’t just a mischievous kid—he’s a child abandoned by a family that may have had darker motives. As a the world decends into chaos, Kevin realizes the two intruders outside his house are a threat to his survival. But Kevin is no ordinary eight-year-old. Using his intelligence, fear, and a growing sense of desperation, he constructs a series of increasingly violent traps, blurring the line between self-defense and something far more chilling.
Did Kevin accidentally get left behind, or was he meant to be alone all along? And when the night is over, who will really be the victim?
Jimmy chimes in at the end of the episode, joking that he'll “be back to normal next week,” but either way, you’ll never watch Home Alone the same way again.
