About this episode
Mark is joined by his friend since elementary school Melissa Ward, who loves Christmas and the Olsen twins. They discuss classic 90s family comedies starring some of the most famous kids on the planet - Home Alone (1990) and It Takes Two (1995) - and they realize that both stories are actually quite freaky when you think about them. Melissa wonders who got it worse, Harry or Marv? And a common question: who is Steve Guttenberg?
