Happy New Year! This week Billy and Topher are sharing their top 5 films of the year. Will they have any cross over? Will they disagree on any? Will Bloodshot make the cut?

Then as a special extra, as is tradition on the show, we list our top 5 films from 10 years ago, inspired by the idea that you need to let films sit with you for at least that long before being able to effectively rank them.

Join us as we miss out on all the plain cheese pizza, slap our faces, and absolutely bludgeon some poor robbers, all while discussing the 1990 Christmas classic ‘Home Alone’. Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

Home Alone is a 1990 American Christmas family comedy film directed by Chris Columbus. It stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. The film follows Kevin (Culkin), an eight-year-old boy, who must defend his home from two burglars, Harry and Marv (Pesci and Stern), after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their vacation. It was filmed between February and May 1990 in a variety of locations throughout Illinois. The film was originally meant to be distributed by Warner Bros., but was transferred to 20th Century Fox when Hughes exceeded the $10 million limit that had been imposed on the film's budget by Warner.
