doing the explain-whats-happening thing while watching home alone 2 with a 5 year old is an absolutely wild generational reality check

that’s an airport, they’re trying to get on the plane, you uh, you can’t do that anymore

that’s new york, yes exactly right that’s the statue of liberty. why? um well about a hundred years ago or a little more people used to come here on boats and they’d see that statue and know they were in a better country. that’s how we got here. now? uh well.

that’s the world trade center. that’s not there anymore.

that’s uhhhh. ok. so. that guy became president. no he wasn’t president here. no he just wanted to be in a movie. he’s not important. no he’s not going to be the president much longer.

that’s a credit card reader. they used to have to make a copy of the credit card.

yeah that’s a great question but no his mommy couldn’t just call because they didn’t have phones then. well they had phones but not like our phones. they used to use wires.

don’t worry it’s still a hilarious movie if you’re a kid but you are absolutely blind to this stuff until you realize it makes no sense to someone else without explaining it

yes the toys in this toy store aren’t very good I’m not sure how this ever made sense to be honest. oh yeah that’s a firework and swiss army knife it has a bunch of uh screwdrivers and stuff on it no you don’t want that no I don’t think a kid could ever buy all this stuff
