Speaker 1 (00:26):
Let's find out.
World may never know I have theevidence here, we do know.
All right.
So yeah, let's get right intoit.
All right, so we slow zoom inon a snowflake falling through
the sky, and wouldn't you guessit?

(00:47):
That's where Whoville is.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Obviously.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Where else would it be, Yep On a dandelion in a
different movie.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, we're Fortan.

Yeah, he did.
Oh, get it Is there.
Who's Just put that together?
Wait, is that like a knownthing?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, this is also Dr Seuss, all right, that's it.
So there's, at least there'smore than one Whoville, that's
Cannon.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
My boss is the editor of the watching this, so we get
a nice narration from AnthonyHopkins.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
He's basically just reading the original Dr Seuss
book, so that's great andeverything.
And then we get the first sceneis a bunch of who's shopping
for Christmas.
You find out that they're superlike way into Christmas, like
so this if there's more than oneWhoville, there's the snowflake
one and the dandelion one.
This is the one that's obsessedwith Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yes, that's being on the snowflake, yeah, so oh,
doesn't it like say, like forfive minutes everything is 99%
off.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yes, yeah, that's a great joke right there, oh.
I want to go to that sale 99%off and everyone leaves whatever
they're doing to go to the theother store.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Two tickets to Whoville.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.
So we see Cindy Lou who she'shelping her dad do the Christmas
shopping.
She's carrying like a massivepile of presents and literally
like he like takes the centerone out and for some reason it
makes a perfect window and theyall stay together and the dad's
like saying like you know, likedo we were?

(02:36):
Oh, cindy says, do we reallyneed all these presents?
He says that's what Christmasis all about.
You know, we stan a capitalistking and apparently so
eventually he heads over tonever mind.
I skipped the scene.
So we see some teens heading upto the mountain, mount Crumpet,

(02:58):
where the Grinch lives, and,like with any haunted house in a
movie or you know anything likethat, they're teens daring each
other to go up there and then,uh, as they do.
Yep.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
In real life.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
IRL.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
All the scaries.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
The Grinch.
He's a scary guy.
No one likes him.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Should be noted.
If you don't, if you're notfamiliar, all the who's in
Whoville like Christmas a lot,but the Grinch that lived just
north of Whoville did not.
That's.
That's another one straightfrom the book you got it's.
You later find out that there'sCindy Lou's older brothers that
are doing this and they'retrying to impress these girls.

(03:50):
Do it for me stew, so he doesit for her, but pretty much
shits his pants when Max comesout, scaring them.
And Max is the dog barking intoa like absurdly large megaphone
.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Shaved as the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yes, with a giant like paper mache Grinch head
Perfect, yep.
But yeah then we get.
We see, is this where we seethe Grinch the first time?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yes, I think so, or did they come down the hill
first?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh yeah.
So they head down the hill Ithink it's happening at the same
time because Grinch puts on hisdisguise he's the rabbit from
Donnie Darko, apparently andthey head down to Whoville and
he's just, you know beingchaotic and shit, and you know
what kind of stuff he'd like hehanded a kid a saw.

(04:53):
That's right.
He said go run with this.
Yeah, just stuff like that it's.
Eventually he gets over to themail room and he's like messing
up everyone's mail.
He's just like giving everybodya affection notice, just giving
them all junk mail and stuff.

(05:14):
So then the kids get down, theteens get down and tell their
dad that they saw the Grinch.
They yell it out loud.
This causes a panic, literallike car crash happens like in
the background.
And then the mayor overhearsthis and he's like he's very

(05:35):
anti-grinch and we'll get moreon that later.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's the mean one.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
He's the mean one.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
He's got the weirdest hair.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, it's just yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Why does it do that?
Nobody knows.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Very odd.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
So the mayor is played by Jeffrey Tambor from
the rest of development and fromwhatever sexual assault lawsuit
that he got tagged with.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh, that thing, yeah, oh god.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Or maybe he's the one that was just being mean to
people.
Really rude.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, if the shoe fits.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
He was not very nice Actors.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, so we got Me Tooed, mayor of Whoville.
You got Cindy Loo's dad playedby the robot that's a rectangle
from Interstellar the guy thatdoes the voice of that rectangle
robot, tars.
You got Cindy Loo who played byTaylor Bombson, who is the

(06:47):
singer of the Pretty.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Reckless.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think is the name of her band.
Oh, it's like a hard rock band.
Not fully metal, but yeah,she's like a got, like a goth
punk look.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Little Cindy yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh yeah, she's like A little thing I always think
about.
Like you know, you had likecrazy hair day at school.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
The water bottle the water bottle.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
You would put your hair up.
Yeah, but I was always hair setso I could never do it.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
You didn't have enough hair going up, yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
I'd have to go with, like the pipe cleaners that,
like you know, her other hairstyle yeah the other half, yeah
the other half.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Or basically Cindy Loo, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
It's fine With our powers combined.
So after this whole speech thatthe mayor gives about, like hey
, don't cause a panic about thisGrinch guy, we don't like him.
Then Cindy's asking her dadquestions hey, why don't people
like the Grinch and like she'sfull on, like quoting the the

(07:51):
who Bible.
Adam Like well, because of this, like shouldn't we like him?
And he's like well, he's notreally who, he's more of a what?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
So he doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Grinch is green yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then so he gets called back to the front and
Cindy's back there alone in theback room, or does he send her
the back room?
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, the dad sends her back there.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yes, so Cindy Loo gets sent to the back to help
her dad with something and thenhe says, hey, don't get like
stuck in the sorter or anythinglike that, or watch out for it.
She goes back there, the Grinchlike tries to hide up in the
ceiling and and it works.
But then Max sneezes and hesays gizuntite.

(08:41):
And then she turns around andsees the Grinch and screams, he
jumps down, then chaos ensues,she falls into the sorter, you
know, as is expected, and theGrinch has a moment of well,
what he would consider at thetime weakness and decides to

(09:03):
save her life.
And then she thanks him and islike thank you for saving me.
And then he's like no, I haveto prove that I'm mean and scare
this little girl.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Wrap her up like a present Yep, you are improperly
packaged my dear.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I want to say I was the Grinch for Halloween, so I'm
not like some crazy fan.
I just happened to do a lot ofresearch recently.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I can basically quote him.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, I have a lot of really good videos from that
night.
Yeah, do we add some?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, we put in the promotion.
That's my thumbnail.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
The best part is she made her boyfriend be Cindy Lou
who.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Poor.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hunter.
We looked great.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
So after Cindy Lou gets saved and she's just in the
like, all wrapped like apresent, and her dad comes back
and he's just like all like oh,you're practicing your wrapping,
I'm so proud of you.
And then, but you know he's notlistening to her.
She's trying to say like no,the Grinch was here.
And he's like no, christmas isthe only thing that ever matters
.
And they go home.

(10:25):
Her mom, played by MollyShannon, is putting lights up
and she's literally like usingevery light from the house.
She tells Cindy Lou to go getthe light bulb from the
refrigerator and, like they havelike the chandelier up.
But then the neighbor Martha VHuvier comes out with her

(10:51):
Gatling gun that fires Christmaslights onto the house and, yep,
she's like full on bracing forimpact.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Like the squat.
Yeah, oh yeah, it's all aboutthe squat.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
It's all in the quads , yep.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
She's got those quads of steel.
Christine Bransky, whoapparently was made to look more
human than who, because thewho's all have this like
prosthetic nose and they madeher like look a little more
human.
I guess which?
Is probably why, like I, had acrush on her when I was in

(11:28):
elementary school.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh, my gosh, the Grinch is different, and so is
she Wow.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Thoughts.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah yeah, weird and green and she looks human.
Yeah Well, wild.
I mean, that's possible.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah, cindy Lou hasn't grown into her nose yet,
so she looks more normal too.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Guys, I really love the details.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
We're making a breakthrough.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Here.
There was a deeper meaning.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So after this whole one upsmanship that Martha may
does we get a scene of theGrinch he's making prank calls.
Happens to call the Cindy Lou'sdad and everything whatever,
like crazy name for for Dreiderthey have is your something

(12:31):
chilebrator.
Yeah, better go catch it.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Oh, bro, can I do a lot?
Yeah, I don't know.
He just does the same when healways does so like I can't do
it.
It's embarrassing.
I don't know if I could do it?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't know.
I don't know, yeah, that wasperfect.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
So after this he decides to head back home and
his the easy route home is downthe garbage shoot.
That like somehow like vacuumoh yeah, so it's like vacuum
powered I guess and it likesucks him up the mountain.
Sounds pretty nice Joining themup.

(13:49):
There are multiple bags ofhazardous waste that he is just
absolutely pumped about andtells Max to grab a bag and
they'll come back for the rest.
And so after this we getErica's least favorite song oh,
where are you?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Christmas.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
It's so slow compared to like the rest of the movie.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Because I feel like everything up to that point is
so just like go, go, go, andthen you have the whole movie
yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
But it's like that in a Muppet Christmas Carol too.
Like I would always like fallasleep during.
Like the, the song betweenyoung Ebenezer and his
girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I remember when I was little I wouldn't even get past
that part because it would justmake me go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, and then yeah, like I couldn't even tell you
what happened in the scenebecause even last night I was
like on my phone, like yeah, shehas like a weird flashlight
that she's walking around withand just like pointing at that
stuff and looks out the windowat the Grinch.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Well, we figured it out, oh God, well we figured it
out because she, the mom, tookall the lights out of the house.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, so she has a flashlight the dad's carrying
around like a whole asscandelabra A haunted mansion
style.
Yeah, checked out I think youshould have had the candle on
the plate with the nightcap, butthat would have been perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, the cutback to theGrinch's house.

(15:26):
He's in his cave, he'slaunching the hazardous waste,
he has this catapult and he'slaunching it at this like
campaign poster for the mayor,you know.
So he don't like him much.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
We don't like him.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
They didn't know from me Then, oh yeah, then we just
get like this series of likedifferent gags just to see what
the Grinch's life is like.
He has this like like minix-ray that he puts over his
heart and he's excited that hegot down a size and a half, and
stuff which you know just playsoff of the climax of the movie.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, then he says and this time I'll keep it off.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
He's very relatable, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
So then he jumps into his bed which I'm pretty sure
is just all springs and checkshis messages.
This is the year 2000.
He has a landline, so he'schecking the answering machine
and doesn't have any messages.
He says like better check theoutgoing.

(16:32):
And this was always my favoriteline as a kid, that like if you
utter so much as one syllableI'll hunt you down and gut you
like a fish.
If you like to fax me, pressthe star key.
I just love that like changeand tone at the end, so he takes

(17:01):
off his socks, they crawl away,which is like a great, great
practical effect.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Very stinky.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
He's a.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
He gets in an argument with the oh yeah, cuz
he talks about how, like, oh, Idon't need anybody.
Like, I have everything I needhere, all the company I need
here, and then he like starts tolike yeah, and then he has gets
the echo hello, how are you,how are you yeah?
And then like eventually islike Gets into this argument and

(17:31):
he's like I'm gonna like, it'slike you're an idiot you're an
idiot he's like oh, I'm gonnawhisper and oh, yeah, no he
tries to trick it he says I'm anidiot, yeah, yeah, you're an
idiot, yeah and it says you'rean idiot, so that he whispers.
And then he's like fine, I'mgonna whisper.
So it's so quiet that by thetime he gets back to me I won't
hear it.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
And then another you're an idiot, really
cinematic master oh yeah.
I think like right before to.
He's like munching on glass andhe's just like relatable all
the time.
He's like am I just eating cuzI'm bored?
I think I relate like so muchto him as an adult.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Me too, mr Grinch, me too felt that I'm still in my
glass eating era.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
So, we used to be.
I used to have asthma.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I still do, according to the VA.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
It was fire pits in Africa, yep man.
I'm just gonna go back to thefire pit.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Middle, middle to upper class people out of their
back.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well, ours is made out of a old washing machine.
We're considered working.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Working glass.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh god.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
So now Cindy Lou decides that she wants to learn
more about the Grinch.
So she grabs her dad's taperecorder or whatever weird
doctor Seuss name that for it,and she's going to run around to
the different towns people todo a series of interviews to
like find out more about him.
And I think the first stop isthe Grinch's adopted lesbian

(19:34):
moms.
Oh yes, they do not like saywhat they look like this, they
could be sisters.
I don't hear like.
I didn't hear one way or theother.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
But even like later too.
Like they say, like your ownkinfolk, like they're trying to
avoid something.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah, like it was 2000, but a little progressive.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Get on you, ron Howard, I'm not even alive, ew.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Okay, don't hate me, I'm 22 years old, yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
I'm the whole.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
I'm a whole ass person.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah.
So yeah, we see the.
He's like oh, he came, likejust the way that all babies
come and then it's like a bunchof, not like a stork, but like
they're all coming in likelittle umbrella basket, parasail
.
Yeah, they're like in a basketand they just so then the Grinch

(20:36):
goes 2.7 seconds on a full namefood and chew.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
And then it has a baby.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
It's while it's Rocky Mountain climbing yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Mountain Crumpet climbing.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
He meets Martha May and gets to love Deeper.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
But my favorite joke on this scene is that the one
baby arrives at a doorstep andthe dad answers doors like honey
, our baby's here.
He looks like your boss.
I think it was funny.
I love that joke.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Concerning Yep.
That'll start a fight.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yep, and then we see a baby Grinch that is just
splitting that line betweencreepy and horrifying and
adorable, just right on the lineoh yeah, very green, very green
.
So he ends up at this these twoladies doors and they adopt him

(21:42):
and oh yeah.
But while he arrives, he getsstuck in a tree and there's a
party going on inside theirhouse and literally they're
having a key party.
So they're whether they'relesbians or sisters, they're
definitely swingers.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I'm going with, not sisters, personally, personally.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
So then we cut a little forward to him in school
and he's.
We see that Martha May is justlike full on, make an eyes at
him and like seductively lookingher lollipop while looking at
him and stuff.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
He skipped the part where he bites Santa's face off.
That's our, yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
So, yeah, he bites his face off.
He takes the parts.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
And the lesbian moms are feeding him cookies on the
Santa play.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
So they're feeding him cookies, and then he like
says his first word as he liketakes a bite of the Santa's face
and he goes.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Santa, bye, bye and like that's the whole part.
He's full on, skips the cookiesand just eats the ceramic plate
, lead based paint and all.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Grinch got issues.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
So, oh yeah, and then he's also interviewing Martha,
or Cindy is interviewing MarthaMay and the mayor as well.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
And then.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
so we're get this part more them to going back and
forth.
We're getting two sides of thestory on this.
So, martha, it's clear to us,the viewers, that Martha has a
crush on the Grinch.
The mayor is telling it like ohno, he like, he was like trying
to steal my girl, basically,and who knows if he even had a

(23:30):
chance.
He was like a little chubbylittle boy and still had that
weird hair.
So, yeah, so he's a, he's freshout of chocolate river and he's
doing, he's doing the bullyingit's like alright, buddy Relax.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Calm down, it's dark.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
So, but yeah, the mayor obviously likes her.
And then he's like oh, like,like you even think you have a
chance with her.
Like you're eight years old andyou have a beard.
So this this haunts the Grinchand he goes home and cuts
himself.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I mean in a way yeah, he does.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
But, not in the dark way that I implied.
So he gets this Trigger warningTrigger warning he makes.
First he makes this like angeltree topper for Martha May.
He uses, like the the like,weird, like steamer basket that
you put in a pot, plus a lovelyfamily heirloom that he smashes.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
What a lovely family heirloom.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
And then after this, then he's like replaying in his
head like you're eight years oldand you have a beard and stuff
like that.
So he's like, oh, let me justtake the scariest razor, that's
ever been known to the planetEarth.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
It's like the Edward Scissor's hands.
Literally, it's like you cansee the blades like going.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
I don't know why, but it always kind of reminds me of
like a crown.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah, like it is.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's like round, so like.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't know.
Also kind of looks like a rakeor like a weird, weird kitchen
utensils yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't even know exactly like one of those, like
ladles.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah, the thing it looks like you're going to like
mean to be a ladle.
It looks like maybe like hey,this is like a maid for as seen
on TV thing to like, make yourpumpkin carving easier, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I could see that totally Just why.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
So, yeah, he cuts his face into pieces because this
was his last resort, and but hegoes to school, he gives Martha
the present, but then he has abag over his head because he's
ashamed of like his, like cut upface and everything.
And then teachers like, why doyou have a bag on your head, get
that off.
And so then he like puts a bookup and then takes the bag off,

(26:11):
and then I put the book down.
He has a foot up and this is agood series of jokes.
And then eventually, when hedoes reveal his face, it's just
like you know I'll cut from.
He's got the little toiletpaper pieces and everything.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
All over his face, yeah, his entire face.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Which is it's funny?
Because when you look at himand they're like your eight year
old, eight years old, youreight year olds, eight year old.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
You're a group of eight year olds and you have a
beer and he literally just haslike big sideburns.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
That's it, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
It doesn't come down.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Which the person that tells him that later adopts
that same like month job.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
So like their family grows yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, so, and then everyone starts laughing at him,
including the teacher, everyonebut, Martha, like she actually
like does, like stay pure Isthis, it like empathy.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, it's not like so bad for him.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, because, yeah, she loves him and or like, at
least, has a crush on him.
At this point I wouldn't saylove when you're eight, but yeah
.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Look at that hack job yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
So then, what?
I was going to make a bad joke.
I was going to say he reachesit as bad as possible.
But this is an whoville, notAmerica Cut.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
We're just getting cancelled.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah, this whole thing, we haven't got nearly as
bad as some of the stuff I'veheard on podcasts that are still
going through and they make adrevenue.
All right, any who Get it?

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
So no, he doesn't do that.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
He doesn't take a gun out of his backpack, but he
does like dead, lift theChristmas tree and rage out and
start breaking shit and then heruns away up the mountain and
it's like literally like thesaddest scene ever, with like
little grinch, just like lookingdown at whoville and all sad
and alone, and he's likewhimpering too.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yeah, it's not his fault, he didn't have a dad to
show him how to shave, exactlyyeah.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
So then he transitions into the other guy
and he's like so then hetransitions into the like well,
the scene yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're going to end with that.
He transitions to what?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
To older grinch, like we all do.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
It's called life.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
That's a little bit LIVI so he ages into the grinch
and then like it's like a coolshot.
And then he's like, just like,staring down with hatred at the
town of whoville, and then hedecides to pull out the phone
book and go through every namein the phone book and say who he

(29:16):
hates.
And then he's just like firsthe just says like the first
couple names and he yells I hate, you, and then I hate you, you,
you hate, you, hate, you Loathe, hate, hate, hate, loathe hate,
Loathe entire it's my favoritepart of the whole movie.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
It's kind of like just like relatable.
Like you go through your phonecontacts and you're like I
haven't spoken to you and hate,hate, haters, loathe hate Loathe
entirely.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
And the mayor's name starts with an A, so I'm sure
he's the loathe entirely.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
August.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
Is that August May?
Who?
Yeah, august May who?
August Augustus Gloop.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
August.
I just made that connection.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Coincidence.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I think not Definitely.
Yeah, fully a coincidence,nothing related.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm calling Ron Howard.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Oh, you got his number.
Yep, sick sick.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
My best friend.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
And my best friend.
So as he's there doing hisphone book hate speech, he
starts to hear singing down inWhoville and then he's like, oh
no, it's their who belation.
And then he yells for Max tofetch him his sedatives and
heads back into the cave.
Then we see Cindy Lou andfamily down at the town and

(30:40):
they're you know, they'reheading to the who belation as
well.
The mom has stolen a trafficlight which is pretty sure is a
felony.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Almost positive yes.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Could be, and you do hear the crash ensuing in the
background.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
And then she's like come on, let's go, let's go,
let's go.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
And so then they make an announcement Alright, it's
time to like figure out who ourholiday cheermeister is going to
be.
And the mayor is, just, likeall, arrogant and like, oh like,
obviously it's going to be me.
And, like you know, and thenCindy Lou pipes up and says I
nominate the Grinch.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
And then huge gas Sucks the air right out of.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
and then the mayor obviously a little upset about
this, and then they have like abook of who quote off against
each other.
I feel like there's definitelysome like religious allegories
in this?

Speaker 4 (31:39):
You think yeah, because it is like missing.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
it's all about like they put this part in there
where it's like they're readingfrom the book of who and like
how it could be misinterpretedand stuff like that 100%, and
all of the things that they'renaming are like rules to follow
by, like morals.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, it's like.
It's like the who's moralguidebook and they're like the
mayor's using it to like asreasoning to hate on this person
or type of person.
And Cindy Lou is like, no, like, it actually says this and this
and this you know so big braintime, yeah, gotta love Cindy Lou

(32:26):
.
Yep, and then so the.
But the real clincher for CindyLou is that the book of who
says that the holidaycheermeisters should go to the
who that needs it at Christmas,that needs it most and obviously
that's the Grinch, becauseeveryone hates him and he hates
everybody, you know so the towngets on on board with it.

(32:49):
The mayor still is like no,like the Grinch will never come
down, and like then hisassistant, played by Ron
Howard's brother, clinton Howard, says and if he doesn't, the
mayor will wear the crown.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Really.
Yeah, I didn't know that washis brother.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Oh yeah, he's in every Ron Howard movie.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Oh really.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, that's actually funny, that's so fun.
He's like the assistant orsomething right.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah.
So then we cut back to theGrinch and he's trying to drown
out all of the noise of themsinging down in Whoville and
he's got like multiple like waysthat he's doing it.
Yeah, he's like.
Oh yeah, first he like isasleep because he like tried to

(33:35):
knock himself out with drugs,with the sedatives, and then he
wakes up singing and realizesthat he's doing that.
Tick tock, tick, tock, oh nopeople.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
I like the monkey, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
That's not very yet.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
So, first.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Cindy Lou climbs the mountain and gets there and as
she gets into the Grinch's caveshe comes across him with the
giant like monkey, with thesymbols, like the wind up toy,
but it's literally like huge andhe's just has his head in the
middle of the symbols.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
He's just getting the clap.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, literally getting the clap.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Quite literally, oh God.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
And then Cindy Lou comes up.

Speaker 4 (34:28):
Clap on.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Cindy Lou comes up and taps him on the shoulder and
he like puts his head up andthen the symbols are going and
he just holds him until like themonkey like shorts out and like
catches on fire pretty much,and then turns around, like what
do you want?
Like what are you doing here?
And then she's like hey, like I, you know you're nominated for

(34:52):
to be the holiday cheermeister.
Like maybe you should come downto the town and they go back
and forth on whether or not he'sgoing to go.
He's trying to scare her awayand you know it says like a
bunch of different things.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
I'm a psycho.
Yeah, I'm a psycho.
Rips his shirt off.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Yeah run for your life before I kill a cat.
I love his facial expressions.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Absolute favorite.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
When he tried to scare her, when he tried to
scare her.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Oh, yeah, like I cannot imagine anyone doing as
good as Jim Carrey and it had tobe Jim Carrey in the year 2000.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
He got like he could still be funny because we saw in
the sonic movies that he doesstill have the ability to be old
Jim Carrey.
But he did get very serious andthis was like in the middle of
him, like trying to be seriousand everything and then I think,
like he didn't have the starpower earlier and might have
been too, absurd in like hisascentura days.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, and like I can see that Is Dumb and Dumber
before the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yes, yeah, those are 90s, okay, yeah because he was a
lot back then.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah so he's like literally my favorite actor.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Like it sucks, so bad that he went psycho like he uh
yeah, yeah, he got Did he gopsycho, or did he just like kind
of, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
I think he's just I think he plays into like
people's perception of him andhe kind of puts on this like so
people will just leave him aloneand he's like he'll call out
Hollywood on their bullshit andstuff like that, and then so
he's put himself in a goodposition.

(36:40):
I think this is.
This is my interpretation ofthe situation?
Yeah, and yeah, I don't thinkhe's crazy.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I don't.
I don't feel like he is either,because there's not.
I would love to see like adocumentary on Jim.
Carrey.
Yeah, I feel like that'd be socool.
Yeah just to see what his lifewas, you know.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I know there's one, but it's him like preparing for
a role and he got like real intothis like comedian's head who
also everyone thought was crazyWas crazy.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, yeah, I know about that one, and everyone was
like I still haven't seen thatI need to.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
I want to watch it yeah well, he just like he plays
all these roles and like hisphysical comedy is like so good
that it'd be so easy to justlike assume like oh yeah, he
went nuts.
But then, like at the same timewhen they were doing this, this
movie, and like he was gettingin costume for like six freaking
hours like he literally saidthat he had to go and like talk

(37:36):
to a CIA agent to learn liketorture techniques like torture
suppression yeah like it waswild.
So I mean, he might be a littlecrazy but like he's still
literally probably my favoriteactor.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
I think he's.
I think he's not any crazierthan anyone else from Hollywood,
because a lot of them are likeweirdos.
Like he hear like stories aboutTom Cruise and this is even
like not even counting theScientology stuff like how he
like is just so, so oblivious toreal life.

(38:10):
That, like he like brought anactual football to a Super Bowl
party and stuff like that likelike a prop, like Like a prop.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, at least he didn't likedress up in like a full pad and
shit.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
It'd be better if he did honestly.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
And like everyone, says that he's like the nicest
person that they've ever workedwith and he's just a little
weird right.
Yeah, which you know.
Knowing what we know aboutScientology makes sense, you
know so well, to be honest,there's a lot of people like
that like yeah, and the realworld, like the weirdest people
are the nicest freaking people.

(38:51):
Yeah, oh, for sure.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I'm not saying all actors in Hollywood are nice.
I doubt that.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Oh yeah, like usually the ones that are the most
normal are the ones that arejust total dicks to everybody.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Yeah, but yeah, like he's so perfect for it because
he has that physical comedy,he's got the like, the
expressions, and we know, likefrom other movies, that he can
do drama and I think that wasthe key and it didn't like, it
wasn't just this like caricature, it was like there was heart to

(39:26):
it too so he's got theslapstick and he's got the heart
, you know everything, becauseeven in like Liar, liar and
stuff like that, like there'sstill parts in there where like
he's just like so serious andyou're just like damn, he's a
good actor.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah like yeah yeah, he's great.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
And then so he did.
He was already dabbling inserious stuff because the Truman
show was before this.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
I watched it on high school.
Miss Bates made me watch it.
Yeah, shout out.
Miss Bates, I hope you'reeating soup in a mug right now.
Every day.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
First period.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
So yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
First period Breakfast yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
But yeah, literally so much could have gone wrong,
like with this movie, and Ithink the I think the cat in the
hat is proof of that.
This is where the generationalgap comes in, because I was old
enough to just absolutely hatethat movie.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
I didn't even get the joke, but when he steps on the
hell and he goes dirty, hoe Ithought that was the funniest
thing ever and then my mom waslike Eric, you can't really
repeat that and I was like, whynot?
It's a gardening tool.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
You used to like a request to watch that movie.
But I see what you mean.
Yeah, it's like it could havegone wrong.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
If I had been younger , if that had come out before
the Grinch, I would have lovedit, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, I don't think I've watched this in adults, so
it's like I really yeah, I'm notlike seeking out, like wanting
to watch the cat back, just likethat whole.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
like they're all like so nostalgic for me, like cat
in the hat, the Grinch, whatwere they like?
Shrek and all those likethey're all just like so.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
But that's the other thing.
It's like we know.
We know that Michael Myers canpull off like good performances
and be really funny andeverything.
The difference is that he wascontractually obligated to be in
this movie.
He like something had beencanceled or he pulled out of
something, so it was basicallylike the studio fucking him over

(41:36):
, like well, now you have to dothis, whereas Jim Carrey was
very involved in the process ofgetting the rights from Dr
Seuss's widow and everythingthat.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Actually, that's really cool, so his heart was in
it.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Michael Myers, or Michael Myers from Halloween.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
He said that the first time too, did.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
I yeah, yeah, mike Myers.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
I mean, technically his name is Michael, but we know
him as Mike Myers.
No, not Michael Myers fromHalloween.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Gary.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Mike Myers from Austin Powers.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
Imagine he's just in that movie.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah, he's in a scary movie.
I would rather watch Cat in theHat with Michael Myers as the
Cat in the Hat.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Plotless when they go into that weird world it's
Halloween time, it's.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Cat in the.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Hat, it's Halloween and it's Nightmare Before
Christmas.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
When I was little I like wanted like that planner
that she had.
I asked my mom.
I was like can you give me one?
She was like where?
I was like Target?
She was like that's not real.
That's when my compulsive needto plan things.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
This is what studios want.
This is why people are striking, because they want to make
movies like that.
We need the Doctor Seussmultiverse Perfect.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
That was a long one.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
All right, anyway, so tangent over All right.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
No, that's not.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Where are we?
So we're somewhere.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
Oh, yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
He's trying to scare away.
And then, basically, what likebrings him around is she's like
well, like you get an award andhe's like award.
He's like on the winner thatmeans there's losers and so that
he's all about it now, and thenhe's like, and then she's like.
Martha may will be there.
And then now he's like reallyon board, but he's got to like

(43:33):
still play a cool and everything.
So he like basically tricks herinto standing over the trapdoor
and pulls the rope and she goesdown in the town.
But she's loving it, she'shaving a good time, she goes
downtown.
Yeah, go down, go down.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
But not in that way.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Weird, just down the trash shoot or whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
She goes down the trash shoot.
It's basically like a big slide, so real fun and I'm confused,
though.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
is that different than the regular trash shoot?

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Well, the garage is haunted.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Excuse me, mr.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Crunch.
It's Dr Seuss.
He's mad, he's like fuck you,travis, free the cat hey.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
Mr Seuss doctor, sorry, I love the book, it's not
the movie.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Oh, my god, oh, I'm really trying to get these
pomegranates we made pomegranate, slash, raspberry, moscow mules
.
Mine's gone.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Wine, wine.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
So yeah she gets launched out of the shoot and
her dad finds her in a snow bankand he says there's no time for
making snow angels, we got togo.
And they go to the mainceremony where they're going to
announce the winner of thetiermeister and of course, the
mayor is just making this bigasshole show of it, like oh he's
not here.

(45:10):
He didn't show, I knew it hesays it and then like is that
Don't go back.
She didn't show.
But then, like the Grinch isback at the yeah, he's back in

(45:36):
his cave and he's like stilldeciding whether he's going to
go he says the schedule won'tallow it.
My schedule wouldn't allow it.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
It's my favorite part .

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Can I do it?
How does?

Speaker 2 (45:48):
it go.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Yeah, four o'clock.
What's the first one?
I know?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
all the ones that Pity is that first?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
while the one self pity.
No, yes, no, yes.
Is that from it too?

Speaker 2 (46:03):
It's literally from the part where he's like yes,
from yes.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Soft world hunger tell no one.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
Why in my mom into China.
I'm you know what.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I mean, I thought my One, one self.

Speaker 4 (46:19):
Yeah, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Five thirty.
No, no, no, no, five thirty.
We're just gonna have to lookit up, but I know for a fact
Five o'clock is solved worldhunger tell no one, oh, solve
world hunger.
Tell no one.
Five thirty Cheddar sauce.
Six thirty dinner with me, Ican't cancel that again?

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Which was?
Which was improvised?
Is it really yeah, the Anominal, the.
I can't cancel that again.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Seven o'clock.
Wrestle with myself, loathing.
I'm booked.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
So then, oh yeah, but then he does like talk himself
into it.
But what would I wear?

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Even does like oh, I'm a little loathing to nine.
Oh yeah, he's rearrangingSlowly into madness.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Yeah, and then he's like what, what would I wear?
And he goes to the tablecloth,he pulls it real hard and
everything stays, and you thinkthat that, that that's like how
it was supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
But because it's the great.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Something.
And it's that Like Adam'sfamily logic of what's good is
bad and what's bad is good forhim.
So, he wants it to mess up, sohe goes back and messes
everything up.
After the he pulls thetablecloth cleanly out, which
happened on accident.
And it was supposed to bemessed up.

(47:45):
He somehow pulled it just right.
Everything stayed.
So he went back and like,messed it up and, of course,
like that's hilarious andperfect and genius.
It was like the composure thathe had, because, like he's
probably, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
But like, how, like, even as an actor, and like I
just don't, I don't understandhow you could pull that out,
turn around and be like did youguys see that?
Yeah, but he's still like, havethe capacity.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Oh yeah, over there and like I'm always amazed, like
when things like that work out.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Yeah, isn't he a method actor though?

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Oh yeah, big time.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
So he's already in the Grinch's headspace.
Yes, what does that?

Speaker 1 (48:20):
mean it's like where you like basically go over time
to like stay in the headspace ofthe character you're playing.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
So like he goes home and goes to bed at night and
he's still the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Maybe Like.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
I don't know if he did it.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
But, that's some.
Usually it's just on set, butit just depends like probably
once his makeup is done, thenI'm the Grinch.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
You know, an excuse to be an asshole to everybody.
Sometimes, Because, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Day Lewis is like that and then everyone says that
he's just like well, if he'splaying a dick, then he's just
going to be a dick on set.
But then he's just like supernice in real life.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, but if you're working with him and he's an
asshole on.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
Yeah Movie.
It doesn't make it any easier.
But I don't know which side isacting Again.
Yeah, every thing here.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
We got big brains over here, yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Now we're definitely the expanded brain meme over
there.
We're at the space brain.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
now I got to be honest though what he said
galaxy brain.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
So yeah, then like so he puts it on like a, a kilt,
because he tells Max it's not adress, it's a kilt, siko rips it
off and he's wearing like this,like lace, garter.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Where'd he get that yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:46):
His shoes definitely primping up for Martha she
forgot to.
Yeah, and then.
So after he gives up on that,look, then he overhears someone
yodeling up on the mountain andgets the idea that he's going to
kidnap him, take his clothesand basically wear a leaderhosen
down at the Whoville.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
If you want a perfect reenactment, the video will

So after he put the, he puts onhis leaderhosen, he's modeling
it for Max, and then he's stilllike all wishy washy about
whether or not he's going andwe're back.

(51:12):
Sorry for that break, we had toget more drinks and now we are
joined by the Grinch himself.
Hello, definitely wearingErica's clothes.
Don't think too much about it,I'm going to last exactly three
seconds.
So, grinch, what was it like toget tricked by your own doc and

(51:39):

If I play with my eye the restof the time, it's not my fault.

Speaker 4 (52:20):

Speaker 1 (52:22):
So, like I said, the Grinch gets tricked and Max does
the trapdoor trick on him.
He goes down the chute andlaunches out of the trash chute
right into Martha's cleavage.
Motor boat sir.
Motor boat sir is like ohMartha.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
And she does like this, she's like whooo.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Her acting is so over the top, but it's like in a
good way though.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
She's basically mowning the whole movie.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
The muscles, talking about him like with the tree.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Why can't you do that voice better than he either,
was Like even when she's like 13, though she goes in green.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
Oh yeah and then like molests his face.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
I love the colors from red and green so he gets
pulled out of her cleavage andgets up and he's like I heard,
like there's an award and I'mhere to accept it, and I also
heard there was a check.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
He's like no, there's no check.
The child mentioned a check.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
So they're like oh, first off we have a little
family reunion and he-.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
The lesbian moms are back.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, they bring out his moms and one of my other
favorite lines are you two stillliving, which my dad can do
perfectly.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Yeah, that's your dad's.

Speaker 2 (54:16):

Speaker 1 (54:20):
So then he gets thrown in the chair of cheer and
he gets, like you know, kind oflike pulled around like on a,
like royalty on a litter, andthen there's a it's just like
this montage of all thedifferent things that the cheer
miser has to do Putting contesttonga line fruitcake fudge judge

(54:41):
.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
That's honestly like I didn't see it the first.
Like 12,000 times I saw thismovie, but the last time that I
was watching it, or one of thelast times I saw that one of the
guys was like stuffing fudge inhis mouth.
Oh yeah, he's like this isn'tfudge and he goes in his mouth

What is it?

Speaker 1 (55:22):

the music, from a chariot tofire, academy award winning
music.
Dun dun, dun, dun, dun, yeah,all in slow motion and he wins.

So then they're like oh, nowit's time to give the
cheermeister his presents oreveryone gets presents.
But we start with thecheermeister and this is the
carry moment, because the mayorjust gave him the same razor
that he fucked up his face withearlier as a kid.

And then he torches the.
Oh wait, no.
First he takes the, he'sholding it, he's looking at it

You know we stand a socialistking and we got both ends here.
And then he is like justbasically calling them on their
bullshits, like all you guyscare about is consumerism.

Razor Ranch calls out capitalism Mistletoe.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Oh yeah, so he chugs the moonshine, which gives him
you know, alcohol breath orwhatever, and because it's real
strong.
So then he gets a lighter andtorches the tree with his breath
.
Pretty cool, and then, yeah,then he steals a car.
Oh yeah, no, he tries the hailof cab.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
They drive past him.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
He says this is because it's like green isn't it
.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
And.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
Racism.
Green lives matter, that's oneof his.
So then he steals a car, but hedoesn't steal a normal size who
car.
He steals the tiny who'sbecause there's a bunch of like
tiny ones that are like this bigmaybe.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
They're the big ones, like the size of your shoe,

(01:05:16):
ends up crashing it into a firehydrant.
They make it all like extradramatic, like it was this, like
devastating crash and he's likewaking up all disoriented and
realizes that the gas is leakingout of this tiny car and he's
like it's gonna blow and anotherslow-mo run away, with the
explosion behind them andeverything.

(01:05:39):
Overly dramatic, but reallyfunny, absolutely devastating to
the shoe hoos though.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Yes, the shoe hoos are homeless now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
They got their car stolen.
They probably lived in theChristmas tree, probably.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
Hey, I saw, one of them get sucked up into a tuba
earlier, so maybe they livedthere.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
That's true.
That's true 14 years.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
So yeah, crash, explosion, yeah.
And then he like Then we seelike the who's like trying to,
you know, gather their composureand everything.
And Then the mayor's likemaking a speech and you know, as
is usual with him, he's a totaldick and just blames everything

(01:06:28):
on Cineluu.
And Then after that the they'relike oh, the music starts back
up again.
They have a spare Christmastree and everything.
And right before the Grinch isabout to like escape back up to
his home, he's like, oh, like Igot him and everything.
So he gets sucked up to mountainYep yep, before he gets sucked

(01:06:52):
up to mountain, before he getssucked up on the mountain.

Speaker 4 (01:06:55):
He gets sucked off.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
He gets sucked off on the mountain.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
What no, I said, up or did, I say off, he said off,
I said off.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
Apparently, hey scene cuts.
We don't know what happens, sobut yeah, then he realized that
like he didn't get them becausethey're singing again and
everything and they had like abackup, and he's like, ah,
whatever, he goes back updefeated, gets back to his lair

(01:07:31):
and Max is in there dancing toChristmas music by himself and
Like so.
Yeah, perfect, I thinkChristmas is going to the dogs
is the song.
I don't know if it was made forthe movie, but that's the words
that are said.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Wait, are you joking?
I don't think I've ever heardthat before.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
I thought you were like making that up or that was
like some other weird song in it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
No, no, that's what it says.
Christmas is going to the dogs.

Speaker 3 (01:07:59):
That's probably the entire song, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
They only made that 10-second snippet Exactly.
To the dogs.
So yeah, while he's up therewith Max at some point, how does
Max get like the beard on him?
Is it snow or is it?

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
Yeah Well, I think the Grinch gets mad at him for
dancing, throws him in the snow.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Yeah, and then he has a beard of snow, and that's
where he gets the idea.

Speaker 3 (01:08:30):
And he conveniently sees.
Santa and Whoville at thatexact moment.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Yeah, yeah, so it must have been late, huh it must
have been late at night.

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
I guess so.
This is a relation really just.
This is a few hours later, soplenty of time to get sucked off
on the mountain.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
Again cut scene one yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
And doesn't he have a brilliant idea then?

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
About Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
that's when he has the idea of beard, santa me,
santa me, steel, steely, steely.
Yeah, puts it all together.
I'm going to steal Christmas,I'm going to show them once and
for all.
And then this is where we getthe montage of him making a

(01:09:19):
Santa suit and everything andgetting ready for this task, set
to the titular song of yourmean one, mr Grinch.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
I like that one Yep, not like when Are you Christmas?

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
This is a banger.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
My favorite part of that entire thing is when he
turns Max into Rudolph.
Oh, we're not there yet, ohsorry.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Sorry, he's jumping the gun.
He builds the sleigh right andthen he builds the Well he does
the suit first, then the sleighyeah, then he does.

Speaker 1 (01:09:57):
Decides to make Max a reindeer because he, like,
realizes is that when he seesSanta.

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
No, no, that was he.
Well, because he like buildsthe sleigh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
No, because, he had to have seen Santa before,
because then he like builds thesleigh and he does test runs and
stuff like that, right, butwhen he turns Max and it's all
within the same, anyways, samescene, it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
But at some point he's like oh wait, I need
reindeer.
How's the sleigh going to likego or whatever?

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
But then he becomes Rudolph and he's like, oh, I
need to build the sleigh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
I need to build the sleigh and then he puts his head
up of his head.
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
But my favorite is when he's like puts the action.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Yeah, he like pops his nose off and he's like
brilliant, Brilliant.
You reject your own nosebecause it represents the
glitter of commercialism.
And then you have a big.
Uss, I forget which one, butthat's what Ron Howard, that's
how he dresses.
Basically, that's how hedresses and he's acting like Ron

(01:11:09):
Howard and everything.
He basically just like.
He provides this impression ofthe director and the director is
like, yeah, I love it, perfect.
So yeah, max is going to beRudolph.
He's got the little fake nose.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
He's got the like a single horn that he like took
off of like whatever.
A hoose.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
A hoose.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
A hoose Hoose horn, is it Hmm?

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
So they finally get in the sleigh.
It's literally just pulled byMax.
Not really, because it's likejet powered.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
And it's like all the way downhill.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Yeah, they like spin out and they almost crash.
So I'm going to throw up andthen I'm going to die.

Speaker 3 (01:11:57):
We have to do a night of drinking.
Yeah, grab something for theJuly Gonna drop and then I'm
going to die.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
So yeah then he finally gets it stable and he's
like, oh, almost lost my coolthere.
And then he gets to the firsthouse, tries to go down the
chimney.
He's like, well, Santa can doit.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
I can do it.
This is when he's alsorelatable.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Yes, because he gets stuck by his gut.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
And then he goes, flap this water weight, and I
was like well, that's what I'msaying for now.
Yup.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Get stuck Still doesn't make it all the way down
, but he makes it like most ofthe way.
And then he releases some mothsto eat the stockings and then
he puts a giant vacuum down thechimney and it sucks up all the
presents and decorations and acat, poor kitty.
Then he's even stealing theirgroceries, even the who roast

(01:13:03):
beast.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
The who hash.

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
Yup, Last can of who hash.
Then he's at Cindy Lou's houseand he's in the middle of
stealing the Christmas tree whenshe comes downstairs and says
like Santa.
And then so he's like kind oftrying to hide behind the tree
and not reveal that it's him,but also like talk to her.
And but then she says somethingand says that like oh, when

(01:13:31):
you're delivering presents,don't forget the Grinch.
I know he's mean and scary, butI think he's sweet.
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Something along those lines Mean and hairy, mean and
scary.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Something like that.
But he's sweet.
And then this like melts theGrinch's heart, but not enough,
because then he's like nice kid,bad judge of character.

And then, just continues on with this, his iced
.
That's all I feel about Brooke.

So then he heads to the mayor's house and he has
some like extra tasks for thisand the mayor's talking in his
sleep and he's like to say like,oh, martha, like such and such,

Grinch is like yes.
And then it's like kiss me,Martha.
And then he picks up Max andputs Max's butthole basically in

(01:14:31):

gonna start crying and I'm gonnabe so happy.
We see the A cop get up andrealize that all the stuff is
gone, and then he panics andgets in the cop car.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
It takes off.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Then we realize that the there's a rope tied to the
cop car that is also tied to themayor's bed, so he gets yanked
out of it through the wall andout into the Open.
And then all the hoos arewaking up and they're realizing
that everything's gone.
And Then what happens?

Speaker 4 (01:16:15):
Oh, yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
So after like all that and everyone's out in the
town square and everything likewhat's going on like, and then
the mayor's like See, I'm like,see, like this is what happens
when you involve the Grinch andand everything this is also
where we find out how he getshis.

Speaker 4 (01:16:35):
Oh yeah cuz.

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
Yep with like a chin strap.

Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Yeah, that's what I mean headgear, you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
So he's like once again, just like blaming
everything on Cindy Loo and thenthe dad finally, like defenders
, like you know what.
I'm glad he took our presents.
Like we've been so like Caughtup in this and buying stuff for
people that we forgot whatChristmas is all about and
everything, and thateverything's.
Then everyone's like yeah likeyou're right and everything.

(01:17:07):
And then Up at the top, theGrinch is waiting for them to
start crying and everything.
But then he hears them singingagain and he's like oh no, like
what, what's going on?
Why it didn't work.
And he's like I tried to stopChristmas from coming, but it
came just the same related.

(01:17:31):
It's what my bank account tryingto do this year and then oh
yeah, and then, like his, hestarts to like have a stroke,
pretty much like is that?
That's how he's acting, butit's his, his heart growing
three sizes.
The best part is like when hegets up and he's trying to walk

(01:17:52):
and his knees are all shaky.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
Wouldn't that be a heart attack?

Speaker 4 (01:17:57):
No no.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
No that makes too much sense.
That's too logical.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
Does he say before or after where he's like maybe
Christmas perhaps means a littlebit more?

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
and it's like the most like Beautiful Grinch line
there ever was yep, yeah, maybeChristmas doesn't come from a
store, maybe it's just there,means a little bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
Yeah, so that is.
Heart grows three sizes Shouldget.
Yeah, pretty dangerous.
But so, oh yeah.
So then he's like you know whatI'm in my save Christmas era
now, yeah, I'm gonna fixeverything, let's get these

(01:18:46):
presents back down.
Meanwhile Sydney Lou, who'sbeen on her way up the mountain,
she ends up on top of the pileof presents.
I don't know why.
You would like Get up to hisdoor, realize he's not there and
then be like, oh, let me climbon that giant pile of presents
and present sacks and whateveryou know what if she was lying

(01:19:12):
and she was trying to geteverybody to think Christmas
wasn't about presents so thatshe can have them all?
new theory so Cindy Lou's thevillain.
She's in her we finallydebunked it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:28):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
So then, like he's, this whole time he's been trying
to like, stop the sled fromsliding off the cliff, and he's
like, oh well, it's justpresents, like it's not that bad
, and then this is the revealthat's.
Cindy Lou's on top and he'slike nope, can't have this, like
it's not just presents, it'sthis little girl too.

(01:19:55):
So he full-on like dead, liftsthis whole sleigh, like pulls it
back up From sliding off andlifts the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Christmas spirit.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Yeah, it's a really strong shoulder press.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
Oh yeah yeah, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Yeah, he closed his rings for sure, just in that one
, that one thing.
Six am Close.
So yeah, then it's like allright, let's bring back the
presents.
They're going down the hill.
He's, for some reason, likebeing pulled in the back, like I

(01:20:43):
mean he's just skin like waterskiing, but on snow and then
Like, then they get down to thebottom and he says, oh yeah,
like Cindy Lou like apologizesfor something I forget, but he's
like, it's like nah, the Sun isbright, the powders bitchin oh
yeah, oh, because she's driving.

(01:21:04):
Yeah, yo, that's right becauseshe like, does a tight turn and
he flies off and ends up like onthe hood of the sleigh.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
Yeah, he like lands on his back.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Yep Mermaid on the front of the ship.

Anyways, young moolah , baby.
Yeah, so I was bringing backthe presents.
There's no breaks, becausethey're just like flying down
the hill and Martha May andCindy's mom Tried a team up to
stop it.
They basically do like whatthey do on the aircraft carriers
With like Polarope across andthat kind of like slows them

(01:22:14):
down.
It slows them down a little bitand then in the end it's like
they just slow down enough forLou, who the Cindy's dad, to
stop them and get pushed withthe tree.

Speaker 3 (01:22:25):
Yeah, watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
Yep, her dad's doing the Homer disappeared in the

Probably I'm not gonna say thatwe didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:23:06):

(01:28:24):
little concerning, but I'm notgrinchy anymore.

Here's my ranking of grinch versions.
Number one this one we talkedabout Jim Carrey.
Number two the original 60scartoon.
Number three, but I stillenjoyed it.
It was better than I thought.
The 2018 animated one WithBenedict Cucumber Snatch no.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):

this Cause it's green Martha'snickname at the so much of this
is gonna be cut out and you needto remember which one is.
