Two guys who know about attempting to inject life into an obsolete institution, SNL mainstays Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell (and likely a writers room) “broke” the story by taking cues from Halloween or Highlander and pretending the third, fourth and fifth entries in the storied Home Alone franchise don’t exist. No one is asking why, as 2021 draws to a close, Disney+ continues to stripmine every poorly defined ghost of an IP, especially one which three sequels have already embarrassed into obscurity. Regardless, Home Sweet Home Alone insists on justifying itself. Ontologically, best to just accept this, all of this. It doesn’t need to exist at all, but necessity isn’t a prerequisite for anything anymore. Home Sweet Home Alone doesn’t need a purpose to exist.
