We all know – and most of us love – Home Alone. It’s the classic story of Kevin McCallister Macaulay Culkin being neglected by his family and left alone to fend off two aggressive and relentless burglars with booby traps and all types of 8-year-old commando magic. If it was real, do you realise how damn traumitised that kid would have grown up to be? New Youtube series, :DRYVRS seeks to shed light on that mystery in it’s first episode, bringing in Culkin himself to play a very troubled adult version of Kevin McCallister. Merry Christmas ya’ll.
Created by musician and comedian Jack Dishel (of Only Son), :DRYVRS begins it’s bizarre look at Uber-like encounters with Culkin, who drives himself and Dishel along while unloading all his childhood trauma, and eventually torturing a would-be carjacker. It’s like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee only really, really messed up.
New episodes of :DRYVRS will be available in 2016, with Dishel planning even more guest stars, like Rosanna Arquette. Whether or not they will be as disturbing as this one remains to be seen.
