One moment from Home Alone that irked me even as a kid first watching the film upon its 1990 release (and I absolutely loved the film, still do) was the rudeness of the McAllisters when they land in Paris. Sure, theyve left their 8-year-old at home (alone), but they just aggressively kick some poor French woman off a call she was making. The world doesnt revolve around you, you know. Whos to say that the lady on the phone originally wasnt making some equally-important call involving a family issue or a personal matter? What makes the McAllisters so special? It was just aggressive, ignorant, over-the-top, bullyish behaviour that only served to make the McAllister clan even more unlikeable in hindsight.

In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more. Where his beloved Wrexham AFC is concerned, Andrew is a long-standing season ticket holder and an FSA Award-winner for his time co-hosting the Fearless in Devotion podcast.
