Home Alone: A Trauma Review

In this special episode, Dr. Kaveh Hoda is joined by guests Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) and Dr. Will Flannery (Dr. Glaucomflecken, ophthalmologist & comedian) to do what the film never asked for: a serious medical review of every injury inflicted on the Wet Bandits in Home Alone.From BB gun blasts to the groin, a blowtorch to the scalp, a hot iron to the face, a paint can to the head, and a nail through a bare foot — the trio rates each injury on a lethality scale of 1–10, debates whether Harry and Marv would actually survive, and asks the real question: why didn't Kevin just call the cops?Also on the docket: the tarantula hair ophthalmology incident (yes, it's real), the dangers of slipping on ice, skincare routines, aging, Zoom beauty filters, and the Jeremy Renner app — but for doctors.Featuring:- Rebecca Watson — skeptchick.org | patreon.com/rebecca- Dr. Will Flannery (Dr. Glaucomflecken) — glaucomflecken.com | Humor & Humanity in Medicine appThe House of Pod is hosted by Dr. Kaveh Hoda.
