Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

About this episode

Hailed as “The only movie in the Home Alone Franchise to feature a US President,” we decided to kick of our December Christmas Movie Marathon with the sequel to the iconic millennial Christmas film: Home Alone.

We’ve got those answers and more this week on The VCR Kids.
