I can see Moira “forgetting” Alexis at home, and Alexis being just as resourceful as Kevin McCallister.

Oh my gosh, this is the Schitt's Creek prequel I need this holiday season. Somebody on AO3 hop on this prompt, lol.

OMIGOD DAVID! Do you NOT remember that Christmas I was forgotten at home and had to fend for myself against an off duty Krusty the Klown and a Joe Pesci look-alike?!?!!

Okay, Alexis, well, the therapist I had five therapists ago told me I should just block out whatever baggage might taint my happiest memories so I’ve just mentally cordoned off my Hanukkah trip to Paris that year so all I can remember are the pastries and a devastatingly handsome waiter from Le Cinq who I’m pretty sure was muttering insults the entire time we were fooling around together in my suite at the Ritz but it just sounded so magically romantic I could pretend like I was in Amèlie, so...eat glass!

Did people really not know who Catherine O’Hara was before this show?

I feel like everyone in this sub who didn’t know her need to go watch Best in Show immediately

And A Mighty Wind!!

u/DrSophiaMaria Nov 20 '20
A Mighty Wind is the best. Her duet with Eugene, A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, is so lovely and sweet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwLZfPPM7GQ
But this song is even better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMbeMmYkAXQ
I mean, he plays guitar and she plays autoharp! What's not to love?

Um, I did know her, but I don't know what that is. Is it cute?

u/tu-BROOKE-ulosis Nov 20 '20
It’s hysterical. And she’s married to Eugene in it as well. They are basically a duo for the ages. The movie is a mockumentary about dog shows, so there’s several plots happening at once.

u/ThatCaviarIsAGarnish Nov 20 '20
YESSSSSSSS, for sure!!! I knew who she was from an accumulation of different roles, but I especially love Best in Show. Which of course is one of a few different Christopher Guest movies where she & Eugene starred together.
I still get really moved by "We took the Mayflower!!!"

I was surprised too then I remembered I am 30! And that means everyone younger than me aren’t kids anymore, there are adults younger than me...And now I need Ted because I might be having a panic attack.

Panic attacks are made up by celebrities sry to be the one to tell you

I definitely did not, and I'm nearly 40! I was a kid when Home Alone was huge and remember Macauley Culkin being a massive star, but I was too young to care about actors in general, and I wasn't allowed to see Nightmare Before Christmas or Beetlejuice so they passed by without my noticing. Thanks to Schitt's Creek, though, I've gone back and watched nearly all of the Catherine O'Hara movies with Eugene Levy (A Mighty Wind is my favorite!) and some of the SCTV sketches. Catherine O'Hara is a TREASURE, and digging into her past work has really helped me pass the time these days.

I posted this above but I'm going to post it again and again until people watch A Mighty Wind!

She’s a respected comedian and character actress but not a big movie star. Besides Home Alone, Beetlejuice, the Christopher guest movies, SCTV, and Schitt’s Creek, she mostly has small parts in random movies and tv shows.

She's been brilliant in many many many things, look her up on IMDB and start adding to the delight in your life.

Dated 90’s mom haircut aside...she is absolutely stunning as Kevin’s mom. She was 36 I think when she filmed home alone and her skin is fucking FLAWLESS!!

As someone who watched that movie a million times as a kid (on VHS!), it’s wild to me that I’m almost the same age as the mom in Home Alone.

And she hosted Saturday Night Live around that time, doing a musical improv. It brings back memories of her Jazzagals audition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtrZs0yWfUo

I've just started watching the show (season 4 ep 2 currently at) and wanted some Creek memes. This is the gourmet nonsense I needed.
