Jason Kelce has a bone to pick with the parents from the holiday hit Home Alone. During a special edition of their "New Heights" podcast released Friday, December 19, Jason, 38, and Travis Kelce were joined by Kylie Kelce to rate and review the 1990 Christmas movie. "Do you guys now watch that movie as if you're the parents?" Travis, 36, asked Jason and Kylie, 33, who share four daughters. "Like, do you put yourself in [their shoes]?" Jason barely hesitated before replying, "This might be the most unrelatable parents I've ever seen in a Christmas movie. ... I mean, listen, everybody goes through, like, you leave without one of your kids at some point. I feel like that's a very standard thing, you should not feel shame for that necessarily. Maybe you forget about it long enough to take off [on] an airplane, you probably should feel some shame there." Jason Kelce Calls Listener 'F***ing Idiot' for Bold Claim About Christmas Travis and Kylie laughed as Jason continued to rant about the "ridiculous premise" of the film. "But who the f*** - I just don't understand how you can't call somebody to get this f***ing kid?" Jason said. "There is precisely zero percent chance that I'm just waiting a couple days before I can fly back to Chicago to see what happens with Kevin. ... There's no scenario where you wouldn't be able to get somebody [to help]." Written by John Hughes, Home Alone follows Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin), an 8-year-old boy who is accidentally left behind when his family travels to France for the holidays. While stuck at home, Kevin encounters a group of burglars and sets up elaborate traps to thwart their plans. While Jason argued that the parents could have called the police, friends or neighbors when they realized Kevin was missing, Travis pointed out that the impossible plot captures "the nostalgia of the '90s." "It sounds so easy to just pick up your cell phone right now and just call everyone in that area and find him," Travis said. Jason, however, wasn't convinced. "It was that easy. Everybody had landlines and everybody in the '90s could have received a phone call," he shouted. "This isn't the f***ing '30s where you had to go to the operator. People knew people's numbers. I could've called Aunt Judy, who would've drove 40 minutes across town to pick you up." Despite their different opinions on the story line, the trio all agreed that the dad in Home Alone "doesn't give a f***," in Kylie's words. Travis Kelce Thinks 'Love Actually' Has 'Nothing to Do With Christmas' Along with the parents, Jason also had an axe to grind with the movie's bandits, who had already shown their faces before actually trying to rob the house. "I don't know, I'm not a professional bandit," he said. "I just felt like that wasn't the wisest of choices." Jason's commentary wasn't all negative, however. "[The beginning] feels very relatable," he told Kylie and Travis. "Like, running around, getting pissed off about really stupid things that only siblings would be pissed off about. ... All of it is just very reminiscent of my childhood, I feel like. Other than the enormously expensive house." Kylie, meanwhile, appreciated the "mayhem" of Kevin's plots against the burglars "and the fact that it went off without a hitch." As for Travis, he noted that the film instantly puts him in the holiday spirit. "I'm glad it was the first Christmas movie I watched this year, because it really did make me be like, 'Oh, wow, it is Christmas. Christmas is happening, and we're here. ... The magical season is upon us,'" he said.
