"Home Alone Main Title Theme" composed by John Williams

This week's lookback will focus on the John Hughes/Chris Columbus classic Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin. Released in November of 1990, Home Alone tells the story of eight-year old Kevin McCallister, whose family travels to Paris for Christmas vacation, unaware that they have left him behind. When two thieves, known as "The Wet Bandits" attempt to break in to the family home, they are met with a series of elaborate traps set by Kevin himself. Co-starring Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, the film remains a holiday favorite among fans and critics alike. Join us for part one of this special three-part episode, as we break down our favorite moments with our guests, voice actor Matthew Farden and Off The Beaten Podcast's Dion McGill.

Join us as we take a look at the backstory behind this classic feature and how it almost didn't get made.

In this two-part episode, we take a deep dive into the making of Superman II, starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Terence Stamp. Released in late 1980, this sequel to 1978's Superman the Movie earned rave reviews from both fans and critics alike, despite the film having changed directors more than halfway through production. Join us as we discuss the movie in detail, including all the behind-the-scenes turmoil that plagued the film throughout. We also take a closer look at the now famous "Donner Cut", an alternative version of the film, comprised of director Richard Donner's original footage, outtakes, and early screen tests between Reeve and Kidder.
