For the longest time, it was the second highest grossing holiday film ever. An adaptation of an adaptation with a high list comedic powerhouse at its helm and Ron Howard in the directing chair, The Grinch 2000 could've fallen flat on its face.
But as John and Magnus discuss, it is a rather complex tale about power, othering, consumerism, and even the trauma that goes along with being insightful. From great casting (even outside of the Grinchian makeup chair) to thoughtful live action techniques to the joy of Christine Baranski's Martha May Whovier - the Grinch is a classic that could be on rotation year round.
And it's a fever dream John and Magnus wouldn't have any other way.
