Macaulay Culkin vs. Elijah Wood

Macaulay Culkin vs. Elijah Wood

Author: Lemonada Media and BBC February 20, 2025 Duration: 37:06
Which actor had the better childhood career: Macaulay Culkin or Elijah Wood? Text Me Back co-hosts Lindy West and Meagan Hatcher-Mays battle it out today. Lindy argues that Macaulay’s childhood career undoubtedly has had the bigger impact on popular culture. Meagan counters that Elijah’s 90s repertoire proves his superior range as an actor, and foreshadows his more successful adult career. Ronald Young Jr. considered this very debate when he was a kid during the height of Elijah and Macaulay’s childhood stardom. But how will he rule today?   Follow Lindy @thelindywest on Instagram and Meagan @importantmeagan on Instagram.    Keep up with Ronald Young Jr. @OhitsBIGRON on X and Instagram.
