B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping an ode to the Culkins into the ol’ VCR. 

I’m going to be vulnerable for a second. I’m obsessed with the Culkins. Not in a worrying way, but more in a fascinated spectator kind of way. 

Based on interviews and episodes of Macaulay’s podcast, Bunny Ears, the Culkins went through a lot over the years, and it’s so lovely to see them come out on the other side. If you didn’t tear up at Macaulay’s acceptance speech when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and reunited with Catherine O’Hara, I don’t know how to help you. 

I know that Macaulay became a poster child for the dangers of child acting, but I want you to think about how far he’s come. We’re not going to dive into all of the trials and tribulations he faced, but I want to give him hella praise for making it through. 

However, I do want to give my boys, Macaulay, Rory, and Kieran, a little bit of screen (?) time and throw out some of my favorite movies/content they’ve been in. 

And yes, I would absolutely smash any/all of them. 

Moving on. 

I’ve, you guessed it, divided this piece into sections for easy browsing. Could you just look at their filmographies on IMDb? Sure. But then you’d miss out on all the personalized touches, like how I openly admitted to the entire internet that I would bang these three Culkins. 

Twice. 

Without further ado (or discussion about smashing), here are my favorite movies and content of the brothers Culkin (well, three of them):
