On today’s episode, we’re reviewing the 2000 holiday classic: How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Tune in to hear us discuss our favorite moments from the movie, how Cindy is done dirty by the townsfolk, and, of course, Jim Carrey’s one-of-a-kind performance.

Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, this movie has enough humor to make it a must-watch!
