On this episode of Quantum Week, January 6th through 12th, 1991.

Welcome to Quantum Week. I'm Matt.

Quantum Week is a show in which Chris and I leap into a random week of a random year. We talk about movies, music, headlines, stories. We're in January, 1991, and we're talking Home Alone and Justify My Love by Madonna. Do you have any news or items we need to cover before we get into Home Alone?

Yeah, we'll get right to Home Alone.

Okay.

It's a big movie.

It is a big movie.

Yeah, it was like the second, what they call it?

The second biggest Christmas movie, I think, of all time.

Oh, at the time, so when this left theaters, this was the third biggest movie ever.

That seems crazy because, maybe it's just because it's adjusted for inflation,

but it was only 400 million or something.

It's a lot of money.

I know it's a lot of money, but now,

but we're in the era of like billion-dollar movies.

Yeah, the whole thing's changing.

I mean, the movie tickets, prices went way up and everything.

Yeah.

That's a, this was a, this was number one for 12 weeks in a row. Yeah, it's nuts. It's wild. I'm surprised it took us this

long to hit this movie. Yeah. This movie was a behemoth. Yeah. Doesn't sound like you liked it.

I don't really like it. I think it's boring mostly. I think it's boring far-fetched. There's a few

things I like about it, but it's not funny. there's not, there's not about it. You're going to get buried again.
