Macaulay Culkin is a big fan of bunny ears.

For the past few years, the actor has been stocking up on bunny ears because "Easter's the one time of the year when you can buy bunny ears."

Most recently, Culkin has been working on a new project: a podcast called Bunny Ears. He discussed his new project, as well as his thoughts on Home Alone and his favorite memory of Michael Jackson, during his Reddit AMA on Monday.

Culkin prefers the original Home Alone over its sequel because it had "less Trump."

Culkin also discussed New York City's nightlife. According to the AMA, his bathroom "gets pretty wild."

He does, however, have some thoughts on the best pizza in New York. He's an authority on this; he was once part of a band called The Pizza Underground.

During his AMA, he reminisced about Michael Jackson, who was a close friend. One time, Jackson called Culkin an "applehead" after the two almost got into a golf cart accident.

Culkin also promoted his bunny ear themed website, which seems to be a bizarre homage to the early 2000s, complete with neon font and text running across the home page.

According to Culkin, Bunny Ears is a website, a podcast, a YouTube channel, and "a state of being."

It's updated with a new episodes every week. And no, he hasn't been home alone recently.
