We’re back with another edition of Christmas Movies and Christmas Cocktails, and this one is a special one. For the guys' 25th (!) episode, they welcome actor, writer, and Chicago hunk Michael Vlamis to the show to discuss the Chicago Christmas classic Home Alone. You may know Michael Vlamis from his starring role on the hit CW series Roswell, New Mexico, but not long ago he was a struggling actor trying to find his place in the world, not unlike Kevin McCallister. The three old friends discuss how the message of Home Alone weirdly ties into Vlamis’ journey to Roswell, Daniel Stern’s iconic scream (and his resemblance to Bear’s dad), how cool it was being a Chicago kid & discovering John Hughes’ films, plus a live update from Vlamis himself on how COVID has affected shooting film and TV shows today. And don’t worry, Roswell fans: Vlamis drops a few tiny hints about what to expect from his character in season three. You don’t wanna miss this one! The cocktail of choice this week is called Les Incompetents (seriously).
