0:00.0	Hey, it's Thomas Frank. I've just got a quick note for you before we get into the show.
0:03.5	If you've been enjoying the inforium or my videos over on YouTube, then you, my friend,
0:07.9	should get Nebula. On Nebula, you get ad-free versions about this podcast and my videos,
0:12.9	along with exclusive stuff, like extended versions of those videos. And it's not just our
0:17.2	stuff that you're going to get. Dozens of other creators are on Nebula, including Alieb Doll,
0:20.8	Windover Productions, Braincraft, Tearsoo, and lots more. Nebula gives us a chance to
0:25.3	experiment, and since everything's ad-free, it's also the best way for you to get our content.
0:55.3	I'm pretty sure I have not seen Home Alone 2 or 3 since I was less than 10 years old, and I'm 29 now,
1:04.4	so yeah, I think decades. We watched Home Alone 1 and 2 last night. Now, Home Alone 1,
1:11.4	you know, a funny movie, the bandits get hurt, haha, whatever. Have you seen Home Alone 2?
1:18.4	I don't remember. I think I also haven't seen them in so long that I just can't even picture
1:23.2	which ones I've seen or not seen. The traps that that kid creates in Home Alone 2 are one step
1:31.6	down from saw, essentially. Like that's a different framing. Like one, the one that he does,
1:42.0	he lights the guy's hair or hat on fire with a blowtorch that's tied by a string to a doorframe.
1:49.2	And then, you know, it's kind of like a re-gag from the first movie where he does it in the first
1:54.0	movie and the guy sticks his head and snow to extinguish it. Well, the only source of water in the
1:58.2	room is a toilet, but he filled the toilet with kerosene. So, you know, the guy sticks his head,
2:04.2	his flaming head in a kerosene filled toilet and basically blows up the entire house that they're in,
2:09.5	which led me to come up with this theory. Home Alone 2 is secretly a superhero movie.
2:15.6	Kevin McAllister requires less prep time to create these genius level traps than Batman does.
2:22.5	Meanwhile, the bandits, though very, very stupid, are essentially immortal. So Home Alone 2 is
2:29.2	pretty much the precursor to Batman, but Superman. All right. That's basically what it is.
