‘Home Alone 2: Lost In New York’ with Noah Ballard (feat. )
Episode 2
To some folks, “Home Alone 2” is just the same movie again (and they’re right). But to others, it’s an “obscene artifact”—and a superior sequel at that. On today’s show, old podcast pal and literary agent extraordinaire Noah Ballard makes his case for why Kevin McCallister’s Christmas déjà vu succeeds in going darker, showcasing unforgettable audio technology, and presaging the ills of the next American century.
Everybody say, “Hiya, pal!”

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel is a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
Each time out, we select three movies based around a genre and call up guests ranging from submarine captains to Oscar winners. Then, we rate the movies, weighing both technical quality and entertainment.
Noah and Chance are old friends who mostly respect each other’s opinions. Even though Chance is a fool and a traitor. Find their show presented at ThePlaylist.Net and follow them on Twitter for the latest on Noah’s literary agenting and Chance’s work in the Portland arts scene.
