Does It Hold Up?

We discuss older movies from all eras and determine if they still hold up or not. We look at the directing, cinematography, acting, writing, and everything else before making our final decision. Some movies we are watching for the very first time and others we have seen more time than we can count. Join us on our journey to see what does and what doesn’t hold up.

Did I turn off the coffee maker? Did I leave the garage open? What else could we be forgetting? THE PODCAST!
November 16, 1990
Kevin is left behind when his whole family heads to Paris for vacation. This 8 year old needs to grow up quick especially if he wants to fight off the notorious Wet Bandits. Harry and Marv are determined to rob the McCallister house but they are about to go through a war. Too bad much of what we remember from this movie only makes up 20 minutes of the total runtime. We know we love that part, but does the whole movie still hold up?
Starring: Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, and Catherine O'Hara.
Directed by Christopher Columbus. Rated PG.
