Home Alone Rewind Presented by Nineteen Ninety What

Kevin McCallister has been separated from his family for the second year in a row (but really, the movies came out 2 years apart). This time Kevin winds up in a magical land beyond the seven levels of the candy cane forest, past the castle of the abominable snowman, past the sea of swirly, twirly gumdrops and through the Lincoln Tunnel: New York City!

Fortunately Kevin is equipped with a perfect device for a lil stinker, a T...

We couldn't picture watching all 3 of these bad Home Alone sequels, and we couldn't imagine making you listen to 3 episodes worth of that. So we each watched one of them, and sum them up for you in our own way in this one compact ep. You don't have to watch these movies, unless you're some sort of masochist who hates spoilers for irrelevant movies.

Mike watched 2012's Home Alone: The Holiday Heist. It has a haunted house/mob...

Welcome to December, welcome to our new Rewind miniseries! We are covering the Home Alone franchise of Christmas movies, as only we do: in reverse! This is 199? Presents Home Alone Rewind.

In this, the first ep of the series, we are discussing 2021's direct-to-streaming-on-Disney-Plus "legacy sequel," Home Sweet Home Alone. 

Ellie Kemper and Rob DeLaney are trying to get their hands on a $200,000 ugly little boy ...

We are getting close to the Ends here, folks! Tonight we discussed Halloween II, which came out 3 years after Halloween, but picked up on the exact same Halloween night, of better or for worse. 

More kills, more blood, more mayhem and way more hospitals, come listen to more of our discussion about Michael and Loomis raging through Haddonfield!

This week, we leave Michael Myers behind to discuss Halloween III. Audiences at the time weren't properly prepared for a "Halloween" movie without Michael Myers, and it got a terrible reputation. Time has been kind to it though, and taken for what it is, it is finding its audience. Its definitely a fun one to watch with friends at a Halloween party!

The original idea for an anthology series of unrelated Halloween films is a fr...

Sure Michael is back, but there’s no Laurie. There’s no involvement from John Carpenter. No JLC. But set your worries aside! This is still a pretty great Halloween movie! Michael is revealed to have survived the events of Halloween 1 & 2, and has been catatonic in a mental hospital for the intervening 10 years. And, fools that they are, they are transferring him somewhere else on the day before Halloween. Donald Pleasance is ba...

Jamie Lloyd is back, and this time she’s played by Danielle Harris, a great actress. But she’s a mute for the first half of the movie. And they do nothing with and then kill off her “sister,” Rachel, who we will get to know better next week in Halloween 4. Rachel’s friend Tina leads a group of crazy Haddonfield teens looking to get their Hallofreek on. Loomis rages around town scaring more people than The Shape himself. Production ...

Theatrical Cut, Producer's Cut, whatever. Halloween 6 has PROBLEMS. But at least the mask looks good in this one. And there are some great kills. However, you have to have some interest in the power of Runes to influence evil to truly enjoy The Curse of Michael Myers. Paul Rudd stars in this one, though, and it was his first movie! 

So listen as we discuss the film that wraps up the Jamie Lloyd trilogy, despite recastin...

You may not know it from listening to our podcast, since she's appeared in every movie we've covered so far, but H20 was Jamie Lee Curtis' return to the franchise after 17 years. With the resurrection of Laurie Strode, H20 became the first—but not the last—soft reboot in the franchise, discarding Halloween 4-6. This movie has its issues (what is up with that MASK?!), but overall, it is a scary and fun slasher movie that doesn't go ...

Just how easy is it to start a gas-powered chainsaw you've never operated before?? Why does Busta Rhymes yelling at Michael Myers like he's his boss not get him murder-stabbed? How did Tyra Banks die? Why did they retcon the ending of H20?

Halloween Resurrection raises a lot of questions! Let's try to answer one or 2, at least.

Knowing our love for (and fear of) all things Michael Myers, friend of the podcast, Jake, told us he had an idea: to cover all of the Halloween films*, but in reverse. We loved the idea of exploring new territory, and the opportunity to break out of the 90s. As this was Jake's brainchild, it's only fitting to invite him along for the ride. Join us as we go from the recent to the original John Carpenter classic, all leading up to Oc...

CDs sometimes had these thing called hidden tracks, and here’s what that was all about! We will play songs from Spacehog, Collective Soul, No Use for a Name, Travis, Stone Temple Pilots, and many more!

Plus we announce our plans for an upcoming big project!

We recorded another podcast episode! Tonight we are going to play a 90s bands version of popular children's board game, Guess Who, and we found a way to pack it full of 90s music. We'll play Oasis, U2, Beastie Boys, Robyn, Spice Girls, blink-182, Will Smith, 2Pac, Smashing Pumpkins, Goo Goo Dolls, Sublime, Green Day, and many more, as we play the game twice.

Stick around to the end and you'll also get to hear our thoughts on...

Tonight, after some movie news, Mike and Adam play a friendly game of Candyland. With every move we play a color-coordinated song from the 90s.
