Columbus regrets it so much, in fact, that he wishes he could cut it from the movie. *Home Alone 2: Lost in New York* was released in 1992, two years after the massive success of the original **[film](https://brobible.com/tag/movies)**. Columbus returned as director, as did writer John Hughes, with Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O’Hara all reprising their roles from 1990’s Chicago-suburb-set *Home Alone*. With the sequel being set in New York City, specifically The Plaza Hotel, that opened the door for a **[Trump](https://brobible.com/tag/donald-trump)** cameo, as he was the owner of The Plaza at the time. Now, not only does Columbus wish he could delete it from the movie, but he believes it to be a ‘curse’ and an ‘albatross’. **“It’s become this curse. It’s become an albatross for me. I just wish it was gone. I can’t cut it. If I cut it, I’ll probably be sent out of the country.

This would be the last *Home Alone* film with this creative team, however. In addition to directing the first two *Home Alone* films, Columbus is also known for directing *Mrs. Doubtfire, Nine Months,* the first two *Harry Potter* movies, and the film adaptation of *Rent*. He also wrote hit 1980s films such as *Gremlins* and *The Goonies*.

We also get into the legacy of Ivan Drago, his real-life battle with cancer, and what it’s like to parachute off the Eiffel Tower during a Bond shoot in the pre-VFX era. Dolph was thoughtful, funny, and smooth—just like the vodka.Catch us sipping A Cut Above (literally the name of his cocktail) and reflecting on everything from Swedish schnapps to where the Drago family would be in 2025.Learn more here:https://brobible.com/culture/article/dolph-lundgrens-hard-cut-vodka-is-as-strong-smooth-and-as-tough-as-he-is-interview/Thanks for listening and subscribing to Mostly Occasionally. ↳ Email me: brandon@brobible.com↳ Follow me on Instagram↳ Follow me on Twitter↳ Read more of my writing on BroBible↳ Learn more about me on my website, brandonwenerd.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy\#do-not-sell-my-info. The Mostly Occasionally Show Adam Richman's Steak Night w/ Bryan Cranston And The Snack Food Capital Of America (Pennsylvania) I’m so excited to welcome my pal, food-TV legend Adam Richman (of Man vs. Food fame), to The Mostly Occasionally Show. We had a fun, wide-ranging chat about food, pop culture, and Pennsylvania’s massive impact on American snack food. As someone who grew up in Central Pennsylvania’s snack-food belt eating UTZ, Nibbles with Gibbles, and Middleswarth Potato Chips, this was such a treat.Crazy enough, I’ve known Adam for over a decade! Over the years, we’ve teamed up on a handful of BroBible food videos, including ranking pizzerias and breakfast-sandwich taste tests. This time, during a quick trip to Los Angeles, Adam dropped by the studio to talk about Man vs. Food and his many other travel and food shows.On this episode, we revisit Adam’s early days pioneering food challenges, dig into his new Food Network show, Adam Richman Eats Football (which explores soccer culture and cuisine in the UK), and share hilarious celebrity dinner stories—including a memorable steak dinner with Bryan Cranston. Adam also recalls filming with Dean Norris (of Breaking Bad), ranks even more pizzerias across the country, and weighs in on Philly cheesesteaks and Martin’s Potato Rolls.Plus, in the spirit of Los Angeles, Adam and I try an infamous \$20 Korean short-rib burrito from Erewhon! Learn more about Adam’s epic TV career, his passion for sports, and a preview of upcoming projects like Food That Built America, Pro Moves, and Unearth Mysteries. It’s a jam-packed, laughter-filled episode you won’t want to miss!Please subscribe + watch more episodes!!!! I'd be so stoked. I have a ton of goals for channel, and I'm looking forward to bringing you more conversations like this! HEY BTW... FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM (...to learn more about me)https://www.instagram.com/brandon.wenerd/And finally, here's the video I made with Adams years ago ranking his favorite pizzerias for the BroBible YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpTbqwZhpJQTHNX for watching THE MOSTLY OCCASIONALLY SHOW! And if y The Mostly Occasionally Show F1 Vegas Recap with Shaun White, Yuki Tsunoda, and Liam Lawson I drove out to Vegas last week for the second annual Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, and let me tell you—it completely rocked. Watching Max Verstappen lock in his fourth championship on the neon-lit streets of Sin City? Pure F1 spectacle.This is a jam-packed episode of the Mostly Occasionally Show, recapping the weekend in my own peculiar way.The racing was incredible, but as with all these events, the real highlight? The people.At the very top of this episode, you’ll hear me doing a hot lap with none other than Frankie Muniz—yep, Malcolm in the Middle himself—who’s now tearing it up as a NASCAR driver, in a Ford Mustang Dark Horse.I also caught up with the legendary G.O.A.T. snowboarder Shaun White, who had his own wild F1 Vegas experience that included a bar tour with Patrón Tequila at the Wynn. It was cool to chat with him about the weekend after the fact. He told me about his hot laps with Frankie Muniz and shared an unbelievable story about snowboarding on a glacier in Antarctica with F1’s G.O.A.T., Lewis Hamilton. Casual. And ridiculously cool.And because no west coast F1 road trip is complete without some burger talk, I talked with Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson about their In-N-Out orders.Big shout out to the folks at Ford for some great hangs over the weekend—they’re gearing up to join F1 with Red Bull Racing in 2026 after a 20+ year hiatus, and it’s going to be epic.Let’s dive in.Links + related reading: I Asked F1’s Yuki Tsunoda And Liam Lawson About Finding Their Lane In Vegas—And We Ended Up Debating In-N-Out Orders (tap to read via BroBible.com)🏁Formula 1 Recap-apalooza: The Soap Opera Las Vegas Doesn't Want But Can't Resist (tap to read via BrandonWenerd.com)🏁Instagram F1 Vegas recap (tap to watch) Two little corrections here on my part: In my intro, I said the Red Bull Energy Station was in between turn three and four, but I messed that up. It was right after turn two on the Las Vegas Grand Prix track. Also, I said that Zedd was episode two of The M The Mostly Occasionally Show Forrest Galante: The Wildlife Biologist Taking on Pablo Escobar's Hippos This week on Mostly Occasionally, I catch up with wildlife biologist, TV host, and certified madman Forrest Galante. You might know Forrest Galante from his many Discovery Channel and Animal Planet shows, starting with Naked and Afraid back in 2013, where people survive in the jungle with no clothes. Since then, he’s built a career chasing lost species, hosting Extinct or Alive, and turning the public eye toward wildlife conservation in a way that’s actually effective. He’s really damn good at it and has the scars and stories to prove it. He just got back from Colombia, where he’s been working hands-on with the government to tackle one of the strangest ecological disasters on Earth: Pablo Escobar’s hippos. What started as a drug kingpin’s exotic pets has exploded into an invasive species crisis, with hundreds of massive, unpredictable animals wreaking havoc on the local ecosystem and neighboring communities.We get into: The surreal reality of the “cocaine hippos” (yes, that’s a real thing) Why it’s not as simple as just shooting them (though Forrest says… maybe it should be?) The process of catching, chemically castrating, and relocating 4-ton animals Why his production company is literally financing conservation work And what the U.S. could learn from Colombia when it comes to wildlife management Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
