He doesn’t give two figs about you listeners. Luckily, Cece and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://twitter.com/darth_jader_\" target=\"_blank\">Darth</a>&nbsp;plugged along just fine without him. Jason’s disappearance may actually be a mercy in this case, because he starts the episode by having a stroke on the sound board. Just consider it an upgrade, #Hindsighters, because who WOULDN’T trade in #OldManJason for two beautiful ladies?</p><p><br></p><p>According to Cece,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/60262/25-things-you-might-not-know-about-home-alone\" target=\"_blank\">Home Alone</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate comfort movie, whether you’re having a bad day, or simply being tried for murder. Either way, no amount of stress warrants banishing your 8-year-old to an unfinished attic, whether or not said attic has lighting.</p><p>On that note, #Hindsighters,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/home-alone/3v4vqKPG2jSr\" target=\"_blank\">Home Alone</a>&nbsp;teaches us that when you do get locked in the attic for the night and subsequently wish your family out of existence, your&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6MwYNGqS1Q\" target=\"_blank\">anti-Wet Bandit game</a>&nbsp;had better be strong when that wish comes true.</p><p><br></p><p>This isn’t to say that Darth and Jason don’t root for the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://theweek.com/articles/469307/diagnosing-home-alone-burglars-injuries-professional-weighs\" target=\"_blank\">Wet Bandits</a>&nbsp;(who are cartoonishly impervious to pain) when they watch&nbsp;<a href=\"https://variety.com/2019/film/news/home-alone-reboot-archie-yates-ellie-kemper-rob-delaney-1203432212/\" target=\"_blank\">Home Alone</a>. Your favorite podcasters realize and love the fact that a large portion of their fan base is compiled of badass criminals and their pet kangaroos. #Australia</p><p><br></p><p>Speaking of criminals, let’s all take a Christmas moment to empathize with&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jul/18/macauley-culkin-no-i-was-not-pounding-six-grand-of-heroin-a-month\" target=\"_blank\">Macaulay Culkin</a>. The guy could use a break. His parents sucked, Michael Jackson&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24QuSFa3LNI\" target=\"_blank\">“never”</a>&nbsp;molested him, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://time.com/5747207/home-alone-joe-pesci/\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Pesci</a>&nbsp;bit the poor kid’s finger so hard that he left a scar. To top it all, his fictional mother abandoned her&nbsp;<a href=\"https://twitter.com/netflix/status/1092875774187626496?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">bebe</a>&nbsp;at Christmas! Your podcasters are honestly convinced that Buzz took better care of his spider than the McCallisters took care of Kevin.
