View Crew: Hogliday Special

Jim Carrey talked briefly about his Grinch make-up hell on the Graham Norton Show (years ago, while promoting Dumb and Dumberer, I believe). Beginning of video to 2:04, ish: https://youtu.be/I8rxtcGNCxY?si=S9O8F6GFf9CRwatg The last 1.5 minutes are wholly unrelated but still quite funny. 😊

I really really REALLY hope that Grinch listens to NADDPOD and knew exactly who they were

I’m almost caught up to the current feed but this year during Christmas I did watch Halloween is Grinch Night before hearing the crew watched it but I have to agree with Emily, some of the visuals in it were so beautiful - for a brief moment I almost thought it was good. It also has the greatest title. Ultimately, it’s just too boring.

I was 10 when this came out and I had a big crush on Cindy Lou. This is also still one of my family's favourite Christmas movies. Regarding the town on a snowflake piece, my personal headcannon is that different snowflakes have different towns with different grinches. Some snowflakes are Chanukah, some are Kwanza, some are Winter Solstace, some are Yule, some are Saturnalia.

As a youngest millennial, the cumberbatch one is FUN!!!! Scored by tyler the creator and has Keenan Thompson

A little late to this episode but I LOVE that you guys watched Jim Carrey's the Grinch. This is my absolutely favorite all time movie. I like to sleep with background noise and so im not exaggerating that this movie has played 1000+ times in my house over the years. I know all the lines and can visualize the scenes based in sound alone! My ultimate comfort watch. Fun fact: when the grinch hurt his hand during the heart growing scene, it wasn't part of the script but they kept it in anyway ❤️❤️

Did Emily ever start Heated Rivalry?

So funny to hear yall look at this with new eyes after I have seen it truly countless times. For the record, my youngest sibling just turned six and loves this adaptation, he thinks it’s funny when the grinch eats glass

As someone born in 2000, for the majority of my life, I thought the live action was the only Grinch adaptation. I think for the first 5 years of my life, I would watch the VHS on repeat throughout the entire year. It is a cult classic and something I plan to watch with my faimly every year to come. Im so glad yall watched and reviewed it for NADDPOD!

Y'all GOTTA watch one of the left behind movies

My wonderful girlfriend got me a Grinch santa statue for my birthday and we decided to watch the Jim Carrey movie just for Christmas

honestly in my family we consider this Grinch as potentially one of the best movies ever made. Quotability, production lore, Seuss lore, AND nostalgia all wrapped up with a furry green bow.

Baby grinch is my icon so I appreciate the adoration of baby grinch 💚

When I think of the Grinch I instantly think of the Jim Carey version of the Grinch

The idea that this is a forgotten movie or not the sole reason for the 2020s grinch interest is crazy!! This is the definitive grinch!

universal studios mentioned so I feel compelled to share my personal grinch experience the facts: my brother had his 13th birthday at universal studios in december. my divorced parents who were on BAD terms were both there. I was very mentally ill. the grinchcident: while my brother was off with friends, my parents orchestrated a lunch of just the three of us for the first time since I was 8. we sat in whoville. it was not in fact just lunch. it was my intervention. for drugs. so I had to sit there as my parents cried and discussed sending me to rehab as I was staring over their shoulders at the grinch in the distance who pointed and laughed and shook his grinchy butt at me. imagine trying to have a serious confrontation and keep a straight face within eyeshot of the grinch…. that image is ingrained in my mind indelibly and we laugh about it often

A sweet, sour wind! I definitely am still writing reviews on rotten tomatoes (/j)

Murph, the anxiety was just catholic guilt. Sorry bud

My favorite "loveable ashole behavior moment" is when Martha may gives the mayor his ring back, tells the grinch she likes him, and he says "no hard feelings" before grabbing the mayors hand and laughing so loud in his face it must've caused tinnitus

Emily’s cousins are definitely Southern Baptist button —>

I think we need a review of Cat in The Hat

murph getting chills during the “Grinch prepares to steal Christmas” montage is taking me out 😂 I can’t decide whether that makes him more or less whimsical

This inspired me to rewatch The Grinch, and as soon as the kid mayor showed up I remembered that I went to summer camp with the kid who played him. He milked it the whole two weeks and honestly good for him

The best one shot I ever created was The Grinch. The Grinch was taken down by a nat 20 Martha May seduction check 🤣

This is one of my favorite movies of all time 🤣😭 im so thankful for this crossover 🙌

Next year please do this for Die Hard

Now they have to watch the cat in the hat movie and see why no more live action Seuss movies can be made

Ok but since its specifically CHRISTmas in Whoville, that implies that there was a Who-Jesus who died on a crucifix (or "Whocifix," if you would)

who views the who crew

Da grinky

re: how old one must be to enjoy the grinch, my 4 year old niece is absolutely obsessed with the grinch and has been since she was 2. like i’m talking “carries a stuffed grinch around and refers to it as her husband” obsessed. and she has equal love in her heart for all grinch adaptations. cumberbatch, carrey, karloff, they’re all very important to her. so like… seven if you’re normal, two if you are in love with the grinch i guess.

I read the "Left Behind" series as a kid and I definitely was worried about the rapture

Jim Carrey’s Grinch is my childhood memory Grinch

Emily, as someone who still listens to Doomsday Diaries religiously (pun intended) this gave me a new appreciation for the song Rapture!! (Which is one of my favorites on that album!)

Rapture isn’t a thing Catholics believe so it makes sense Murph didn’t grow up with it.

My mom told me on several occasions that she’s worried I won’t get raptured. So to fix that when I was 14 she had the priest called me up and give me a surprise baptism.

this made me laugh so much during emily's grinch story, the rapture and religion discussion, and murph's little ... "we're so scared of hell"

You're not alone, Emily. The rapture was explained to me when I was only 8 or so. I already had a diagnosed problem with anxiety and that information was devastating and caused so many panic attacks and such bad separation anxiety from my parents because I always thought if they aren't around me then maybe they got taken and I got left behind because I'm a bad person.

It is confirmed that he underwent CIA torture training to get through the makeup process. It was a nine-hour makeup process.

my family was obsessed with this movie growing up- watched so often the dvd wore out. this is a perfect movie, excluding the sad cindy lou who song in the middle

I really need them to watch the live action Cat in the Hat now. Austin Powers + Suess = NADDPOD gold

I have to say as an '06 baby this movie was such a huge part of my childhood and I watched it all the time. This for a lot of people my age was, I know who Jim Carrey is, but the Grinch is the only movie I've seen with him in it. That and the one where Morgan Freeman plays god

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but boy Grinch was played by an adult so don't worry about the welding scene 😂

you guys neeeed to listen to matt rogers’ “hottest female up in whoville” about martha may

i cant believe you guys didnt even mention that the grinch has TWO MOMS!!!

Wait you guys have seen the mask right?

This Carrie guy could make a good egg shaped villain

I want to believe the off-the-clock Grinch knew who Murph and Emily were and couldn't resist the razz 🤞

Can yall please do a Thundercats view crew

For Emily to say she couldn’t imagine food in the Grinch‘s hair and do what she did on Gastronauts!!! I support women’s rights and wrongs 🫶

As a 90s baby, this movie is a top 5 all time favorite of mine

I'm glad all my favorite lines from the Grinch were spotlighted in this "And the child, mentioned a check" "Solve word hunger, tell no one" "This is NOT pudding"

Second NADDPOD episode in a row where Jake mentions “smelting”

I'm always surprised by how much focus American Christians focus on the rapture. I'm no longer a practicing Catholic myself, but it wasn't even a dismissed concept in Canada. It just was not a thing. I talked about this with my mother (practicing Catholic of 60 years) and she didn't recognize the term. To be fair, hell was rarely referred to either. We were more about the immaculate conception, forgiveness of sins, and redemption. Come to think of it, the first time I ever played Dungeons and Dragons was with a church group after mass.

How is Emily going t9 complain about food getting stuck in Grinch hair when I JUST watched her on Gastronauts longing to eat beard crumbs

This episode really put a goose on my bump.

So the rapture isn't really biblically sound, a lot of denominations don't take it seriously. It really just gained popularity in American headspace due to the Left Behind series combining into our Cold War and 9/11 era fears.

Grew up in a rapture-focused, “we are living in the end times” household, parents got me reading the teen version of the Left Behind series too young. Between that and some fire and brimstone VBS experiences, had a similar childhood anxiety around the rapture 😅

I had so much fun listening to them watch something generally good!!

So happy for the Martha may whovier love. I’ve been obsessed with her forever

I just saw an interesting post relating to this movie Before his death in 1991, Dr. Suess consistently declined offers to sell the film rights to his books. However, following his passing, his widow Audrey Geisel began entertaining several merchandising deals, including clothing lines, accessories, and CDs. In July 1998, her agents made a significant announcement: the film rights to How the Grinch Stole Christmas would be auctioned. The terms were stringent: • ⁠$5 million upfront • ⁠4% of the box-office gross • ⁠50% of merchandising revenue • ⁠70% of book tie-in profits • ⁠music-related income (the percentage wasn't listed in the article) • ⁠only directors or writers who had previously earned at least $1 million on a previous project were eligible to participate • ⁠any actor considered for the role of the Grinch had to be of a similar stature to Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams or Jim Carrey Geisel's first choice to play the Grinch was Jack Nicholson, but producer Brian Grazer told her that he only wanted to do the film with Jim Carrey even though he hadn't talked to Carrey yet. Although when Carrey met with Geisel, he won her over.

THANK YOU CALDWELL FOR BRINGING UP GOGGINS GRINCH! gonch?

Commenting this while high, genuinely can’t believe Murph “got chills” during the Mr grinch song scene LMAOOO. Watching it rn and it’s unreal

I was a 6th grader when I first started getting facial hair, and I got made fun of relentlessly

Sorry if someone has already commented with this, but one of my favorite longtime YouTubers Brandon Hardesty just released a video on his channel The Back Focus about Jim Carrey's performance in the 2000 Grinch movie today, focusing in on his overall process to the role and challenges around the makeup. It even mentions An American Werewolf in Paris! I couldn't believe the sheer coincidence when I saw it published today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ktapp-EqzA

https://youtube.com/shorts/k2PziJWr390?si=u8eIeOjPLKXvlzgA

I know this isn’t the religious theology podcast, but I feel the need to weigh in and point out that the whole rapture thing is basically Christian fan fiction It’s fringe, basically

All prep for the Grinch One Shot?!?! Ran by Emily?!?!

It’s a Wonderful Life bombed when it came out. Years later TV was able to broadcast it yearly, now a Christmas classic, A Christmas Story, same thing. TNT now shows it for 24 hours. Culture is a funny thing. I completely agree, practical effects are definitely getting props in the modern age of CGI and AI.

When my kid was like 2, he tried to kick a soccer ball, missed, landed on his butt on the soccer ball which bounced him forward at the kiddie picnic table where he hit is head, and I had to work SO HARD not to break down laughing

I’m leaking!

Caldwell speculating we all yearn for a trickster spirit grinch to “Stick his green fingers into the pie of our lives” really cuts to the heart of what most NADDPOD content is all about

I won't stand for this slander. Jim Carey's The Grinch is the greatest Christmas movie of all time. The sun is bright and the powder's bitchin'!!

I think I assumed that the Grinch was a massive Christmas film for everyone, but after hearing the gang say "I feel this isn't as well remembered," I now think NADDPOD might have altered my brain chemistry on how much the Grinch actually comes up in real life

Murph’s representation of New Jersey Cradle Catholics is so important to our culture

Everyone simply MUST watch/hear comedian Matt Rogers’ Christmas special song performed as Martha May Whovier: “Hottest Female Up in Whoville” https://youtu.be/YGrGGxQaVoI?si=1B7fVm7AbMow9jlt

Thanks for the fun in 2025! I love all thinks Grinch! Merry grinchmas!!!

My kids like the Cumberbatch one more than the Carey one. I think it's because it's animated.

ive watched the grinch nearly every year since early childhood (multiple times when i was younger) and although i hated putting the dvd in because the grinch’s scariest face was on the side of it it was the only christmas movie i ever actually wanted to watch. elf was mid as hell imo. Kids love jim carreys grinch. also rotten tomatoes critics are mostly people who hate fun

Wait if there’s a boy grinch did navy seals also have to talk to the boy grinch too?

watched part of the cumberbatch grinch at the school i work at and its what i would call neutered. carey grinch has remained elusive to me but he does emit true nasty grinch vibes in the way he biblically is

I would LOVE for the guys to watch The Gamers: Darkness Rising. I recently relistened to the DnD movie episodes (the bad ones) and think Murph would love it. (Except one scene I know he'd be super mad at.) Plus it's free on YouTube! https://youtu.be/tOUksDJCijw?si=JG82LJbZ_ovdjX10

I humorlessly unwrapped a stuffed grinch yesterday after being backed into a corner a few weeks ago to badly explain this show’s grinch connection to my family. I can only blame myself and celebrate the end of the Grinch era…… or hell, maybe the beginning…..

One shot idea: The boobs team up with the Grinch (post heart growing 3 sizes) to rescue Santa and save Christmas.

I feel like 50% is the right rotten tomato score for this. Jim Carrey is unreal in this movie but everybody else is pretty meh. The whos are creepy looking and the story is mid/mostly steps on its own message because of how justified the Grinch is to hate these whos (who are pricks and consumerist to an insane degree). If any other actor on earth had played the Grinch, this would have been brutal. JC elevates it to decent.

We’ve all been waiting for this

Martha May Whovier is so beautiful I honestly should’ve realized that I was queer so much earlier. Jim Carrey as the Grinch is also highkey a “Hear-Me-Out” for me and I don’t think I need to explain it.

You guys should really consider watching The Mean One, the shockingly well-made horror parody

Would love to see what they think about the Mike Myers Cat in Hat movie

I've loved this movie for a long time and a bunch of my friends in college would watch this regularly and quote it at each other. It also cracks me up to no end that Taylor Momsen who played Cyndi Lou Who went on to star in the rock band The Pretty Reckless. Absolute treat to hear you all dissect this movie.

me and my wife just did our yearly viewing of jim carrey's grinch... lovely every time

Emily slipping a 9/11 joke in, nice

I watch the Jim Carrey Grinch every year and it's always a good time. I watched the Benedict Cumberbatch one for the first time this year and it's definitely not better but it's still fun

AW is an absolute practical special effects masterpiece. Shoutout to Griffin Dunne visibly decaying!

MURPH!!! Calls it/

C’mon? Universal Grinch is obviously a NADDPOD fan and recognized you guys!! It was a fan shoutout!! #bringbackhackjob

So you're saying Emily got grinched by a guy in a Grinch costume so convincing, hell; it could actually be the Grinch himself

As someone raised Catholic in the American South, the rapture was for other people and we didn't ever talk about it, but Hell was for sure real and almost everyone was going there

I've only just learned that people think Christmas with the Kranks is a bad movie so finding out that the critics didn't like Jim carrey's the grinch is a shock

I think the Two Crew might be underestimating how much the younger Millennial (and maybe Gen Z?) demographic adore this movie. I don't know anyone that is referencing the original cartoon when talking about the Grinch, it's all about the live action

We were on a school trip and I was wearing this like wrap skirt my dad made me, and as I was walking I guess one of the knots came undone because the back just fell to the side, like the dramatic unveiling of a new car or something, revealing my underwear to the group of cool kids that were walking behind me. Obviously they laughed but of everyone there, our adult Spanish teacher lost it the absolute hardest, and honestly, that was kinda rough for me.

I watched the Jim Carrey Grinch after receiving the expert commentary here, and Emily is excruciatingly correct about the sex oozing from Martha May Whovier when she’s around the Grinch. Absolute debauchery.

Same as Em, youngest who never remembers believing cuz of my older siblings. Definitely pretending for my parents but I don't remember ever believing

Emily got a first class grinching

Idk I think the way Murph thinks the Grinch overreacted to the bullying is weird. the implication is he suffered for much longer than one instance, he probably dreaded the hack-job jab, or “hack-jab,” for months and maybe even years. The proverbial hair that broke the grinch’s sack, if you will.

OMG THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I SAW NOTIF FOR THIS. I AM FEASTING RN Edit: everyone should go read this article from vulture. They interviewed most of the main cast and crew from the movie for the 25th anniversary and it even goes into the navy seal trainer Jim Carey worked with for his grinch makeup fueled panic attacks: https://www.vulture.com/article/how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-oral-history.html

I have a weird Rapture story. When I was kid my sister and I went to a (non Christian) camp in the early 2000s. One day they woke her and other kids up eat to go down to the lake for canoeing and told them to leave there clothes out. They told the rest of us that those kids had been raptured and we were left behind. IDK why they did this but I do remember freaking out because I had to figure out how to tell our parents that my little sister was raptured to heaven.

You simply have to watch Cat in the Hat now! We need to hear your takes on Mike Myers as Cat in the Hat!

A true hogliday miracle bc I just watched the grinch this morning 👹💚

The Universal Studios grinch actors name is Nick Darnell and he has a Tik Tok lol

Murph trying desperately to end the Grinch saga at the end of the ep, but the Grinch will not be stopped…

7:11 I always just took it to mean that the adults were lying to cindy lou who about how babies are made since she’s like, 6-8 year old or smthn

This is amazing. Thanks 2crew! I just realized Jim Carey sings the grinch song this year - truly an oscar-worthy performance. Anyone else remember the remote control Grinch car they sold at Radio Shack when this movie came out?

Happy Hedgehoglidaze

Just watched this today for Friendsmas, and the "key party" sight gag absolutely floored us.

People are absolutely referring to the Jim Carrey Grinch right now! They’ve just re-released it in theatres where I live. Whimsy is coming back. Yay!

Would love to know if any of you had bionicles as kids? Just rewatched toa of light and was really moved

I remember being absolutely terrified by Jim Carrey's Grich as a child, specifically the mail sorter scene) and stuck to my family's VHS copy of the cartoon for the past 20+ years. i watched the jim carrey version for the first time this year thanks to yall. also: very fun to hear about emily's grinching

Emily getting Grinched might be an actual scientific example of manifestation power...

Glad to know I’m not the only one who, as an adult, very much thought the key bowl had to do with drunk driving.

Now, I triple dog dare you to watch The Cat in the Hat. I need to hear Emily gaslighting Murph to insanity over a critically hated Mike Myers vehicle.

It’s a hogliday miracle!!!

The way I’ve been WISHING for this, omg it’s a Christmas Miracle!!

Y’all have to watch the original animated Grinch next year!!

My nephews hate the Jim Carrey Grinch also!!! It makes me so upset, but I still try every year.

You crazy bastards. You actually did it.

Cumberbatch Grinch is sooo bad. It’s not even a comparison to the Carrey Grinch. Another real awful one is the musical one from like 2020.

NADDPOD has finally jumped the Grinch.

This is my favorite and the definitive version of the Grinch, and I feel so fulfilled that they love it.

yes correct

Got the patreon subscription for Christmas 😇 this is my first exclusive episode! 🥳 happy hoglidays to all

Yeah actually the fingers are the best part

One of my favorite precious things Emily does is when she brings up an obscure thing that she either has a cursory knowledge of, or a limited recollection of, and Murph says “What?!?” and she replies ‘“I don’t know.”

So glad Martha May Whovier got her flowers, she takes my fucking breath away every single year

Absolutely WILD to hear them say the movie isn't well remembered, my family is so deeply Grinchcore lmfao they always quote it yearround ("You didn't mention an AWARRRRRRD", "jury duty jury duty pink slip", "Holiday Whobawhattie?", etc)

I hope this is a beautiful sunset for the Grinch, because the joy of having them talk about the Grinch at an actual appropriate time of the year can’t be beat.

Did not expect Jake it say he fell in a toilet

I got the 69th dm screen from the naddpod shop

Super excited because I literally rewatched it last night

“This is Wicked for Grinch.” - the bravest and truest thing Murph has ever said

Happy Hoglidays! As a similar aged person, I watched the Grinch with my kids a couple years ago (so 14, 11, and 8) and they all three were into it. But they already knew Jim Carey from Sonic and Dumb and Dumber and we watch D20 and listen to NADDPOD so maybe just similar sense of humor.

I’m not sure about his grinch performance but that video of Cumberbatch as Smaug where he’s crawling around makes me think he can Klump!

happy hoglidays!!!!!

the cumberbatch grinch is actually pretty decent. the animals in the movie are very charming, i think you guys might be seduced by max and the chunky reindeer

I put this in another thread but this is way more relevant. This is Roll and Play Press's playable Grinch character for both 5e and Pathfinder! https://rollandplaypress.com/products/playable-race-groucher?_pos=1&_sid=4a023265e&_ss=r

the cumberbatch grinch does some major deviations and really takes away from the whole point of the grinch. I’m a huge grinch fan and I got irrationally angry 😂 The Jim Carey one felt like an extension of the original cartoon!

thank you for releasing episodes over the hoglidays ❤️ thanks for editing trevor!

Our police station posted pictures of the grinch being arrested. They also had Santa being transported by an tank truck delivering toys to kids

My favorite thing about this movie is that Martha May wears the broken pieces of the Grinch's original angel ornament in her hair as an adult. She was truly horned up.

I remember as a kid being so horrified when the Grinch sucks up the cat, we had to leave the theatre

Oh my god the little cat meows during emily’s COE shout outs. 😭 happy crickmas to Critter Country edit: just got to emily mentioning it haha. Which cat was it??

If the grinch was conceived at the key party, is it then possible so many people fucked and sucked the mess of genes that resulted is the reason he’s a fuzzy green monster?

“You’ve gotta take the onion for its layers.” Easter Egg for next months mixed bag where they watch Shrek?? 🤔

I really love these hogliday specials ☺️❤️

Happy Hoglidays!

I love this movie. I cry laughed at this movie when I was eight and I do that now at 31 I still laugh at this movie. The set design is so cool in this sorta twisted 1950’s style and Jim Carrey is just out of this world.

Hog yeah

The mad lads finally did it.

as someone who has to help host 30 people for dinner in two hours, i needed this today. happy hoglidays to all!! 🎄🎉

The baby grinch is terrifying in the funniest way possible

As somebody that was twelve with a mustache at one point, it's only awkward until somebody finally teaches you to shave and you have a tan line from where the mustache had been lol

What a wonderful gift! I love it.

happy hoglidays!!!

So my homemade snow ice cream is basically a Who Pompei?

What a great Christmas gift. A post from my favorite podcast <3

This version of The Grinch is one of my favorite movies. Back in the dark days of Hollywood Video and Blockbuster, when I was in 8th grade, I had a hernia surgery and I had to stay home for 2 weeks. My parents rented me 4 or 5 movies and this was one of them. I probably watched it 20 times over that two weeks.

Haven't listened yet, but are you really watching The Grinch, or just a movie that looks so much like The Grinch that it might just be The Grinch?

Grinch this, a green man made of fur and hatred sees a town of Fetal Alchohal Syndrome villagers. Find purpose and starts to love community

“Baby Yoda got us through covid, and baby Grinch could have gotten us through 9/11”. I’m fully crying laughing barely ten minutes in

Which Grinch are we watching y'all?

The Two Crew has now watched the Grinch series “Austin Powers Style” by starting with Halloween is Grinch Night and working backwards 💚

Ive been re-listening to the surprise round episodes. What a treat to hear, "f**k it, we're just gonna watch the grinch." "You see a guy, in a grinch costume. So well made, hell.. it could be the grinch himself"

THE GRINCH HIMSELF!?

Nice.

A wonderful Hogliday treat

im working today and i needed this! thank yall

Praise the hog, this just popped up before an hour drive to my family's house, I'm so excited

Happy holidays Naddpoles & 2 Crew!

this is basically the naddpod superbowl

In my town we say Crittermas 😤

I can’t believe a a joke from campaign one made it this far. Bravo NaddPod

happy hoglidays!!

Was just looking for a holiday podcast to put on when this went live, superb timing

😎
