In a special screening with Distractify, a few charismatic, hand-selected doctors diagnosed the injuries from Home Alone and made us rethink everything we believed as children. They also made us cringe and squirm with sympathy pain. A lot.

When I was a kid, I was very analytical and couldn't stand how unfathomable many of the circumstances were in programming geared towards kids.

They were always getting their feet run over by cars and letting pianos fall on their heads and getting their fingers and toes struck by hammers, and they never slowed down or went to the hospital!
