Em

welcome

Episode
1:26
280,
1:27
how
1:28
the
1:28
Grinch
1:28
Stole
1:29
Christmas.
1:29
This
1:30
is
1:30
the
1:30
podcast
1:30
that's
1:30
all
1:30
about
1:31
the
1:31
history
1:31
and
1:31
legacy
1:32
of
1:32
movies
1:32
you
1:32
know
1:33
and
1:33
movies
1:33
you
1:34
don't.
1:34
That's
1:35
inside
1:35
a
1:35
snowflake
1:36
like
1:36
the
1:36
one
1:36
on
1:36
your
1:37
sleeve,
1:37
there
1:38
happened
1:38
a
1:38
story
1:39
you
1:39
must
1:39
hear
1:39
to
1:40
believe.
1:40
And
1:41
as
1:41
always,
1:41
a
1:41
huge
1:42
hi
1:42
and
1:42
welcome
1:42
to
1:42
Verbal
1:43
Diorama.
1:43
Whether
1:43
you
1:44
are
1:44
a
1:44
brand
1:44
new
1:44
listener,
1:45
whether
1:45
you
1:45
are
1:45
a
1:46
regular
1:46
returning
1:46
listener,
1:47
thank
1:47
you
1:47
for
1:47
being
1:48
here.
1:48
Thank
1:48
you
1:48
for
1:48
choosing
1:49
to
1:49
listen
1:49
to
1:49
this
1:50
podcast.
1:51
I'm
1:51
so
1:52
happy
1:52
to
1:52
have
1:52
you
1:52
here
1:52
for
1:53
the
1:53
history
1:53
and
1:54
legacy
1:54
of
1:54
how
1:54
the
1:55
Grinch
1:55
Stole
1:55
Christmas.
1:56
But
1:56
mostly
1:57
I'm
1:57
happy
1:57
because
1:58
it
1:58
is
1:59
Christmas.
2:00
I
2:00
hope
2:00
that
2:00
you
2:01
are
2:01
enjoying
2:02
the
2:02
Christmas
2:03
festivities
2:03
whether
2:04
you
2:04
celebrate
2:04
Christmas
2:05
or
2:05
not.
2:06
But
2:07
if
2:07
you
2:07
do,
2:07
it
2:08
looks
2:08
like
2:08
you
2:08
might
2:09
have
2:09
been
2:09
a
2:09
bit
2:09
naughty
2:10
this
2:10
year.
2:11
And
2:11
that's
2:12
why
2:12
you've
2:12
got
2:13
this
2:13
episode
2:13
on
2:14
how
2:14
the
2:14
Grinch
2:14
Stole
2:15
Christmas.
2:15
Because
2:16
this
2:16
episode
2:17
is
2:17
only
2:18
being
2:18
sent
2:18
to
2:19
the
2:19
people
2:19
on
2:19
the
2:19
Naughty
2:20
List.
2:20
But
2:21
it's
2:21
okay,
2:21
because
2:22
even
2:22
being
2:22
on
2:22
the
2:23
Naughty
2:23
List
2:23
can
2:24
be
2:24
redeemed.
2:25
And
2:25
you
2:25
can
2:25
start
2:26
by
2:26
basically
2:26
listening
2:27
to
2:27
this
2:27
episode.
2:28
Now,
2:28
I'm
2:28
not
2:29
suggesting
2:29
your
2:29
heart
2:29
is
2:30
two
2:30
sizes
2:30
too
2:31
small,
2:32
but
2:32
we
2:32
can
2:32
all
2:33
appreciate
2:33
the
2:33
little
2:34
things
2:34
and
2:34
the
2:35
true
2:35
meaning
2:35
of
2:36
Christmas.
2:37
So
2:37
obviously
2:37
this
2:38
month
2:38
is
2:38
kind
2:38
of
2:39
a
2:39
Christmassy
2:39
themed
2:40
season.
2:41
So
2:41
far
2:42
we've
2:42
had
2:42
the
2:42
very
2:42
festive
2:43
Dungeons
2:43
and
2:43
Dragons,
2:44
Honor
2:44
Among
2:44
Thieves
2:45
and
2:45
the
2:45
slightly
2:46
more
2:46
festive
2:46
Lethal
2:47
Weapon.
2:48
How
2:48
the
2:48
Grinch
2:48
Stole
2:49
Christmas
2:49
is
2:50
a
2:50
movie
2:50
that
2:50
my
2:51
mum
2:51
absolutely
2:52
owns.
2:53
She
2:53
hates
2:54
this
2:54
movie.
2:55
And
2:55
it
2:55
wasn't
2:56
the
2:56
first
2:56
choice
2:56
for
2:56
the
2:57
Naughty
2:57
List
2:57
either.
2:58
But
2:58
it
2:59
turns
2:59
out
2:59
it
2:59
pairs
2:59
really
3:00
well
3:00
with
3:00
the
3:00
Nice
3:01
List
3:01
episode.
3:02
And
3:03
while
3:03
no
3:03
one
3:03
wants
3:03
to
3:04
annoy
3:04
their
3:04
mum
3:04
at
3:04
Christmas,
3:05
or
3:05
indeed
3:06
at
3:06
any
3:06
time
3:06
of
3:06
the
3:07
year.
3:07
I
3:08
couldn't
3:08
really
3:08
help
3:09
but
3:09
look
3:09
into
3:09
the
3:09
history
3:10
and
3:10
legacy
3:10
of
3:11
a
3:11
movie
3:11
that
3:11
may
3:11
not
3:12
be
3:12
on
3:12
my
3:12
mum's
3:13
Christmas
3:13
list
3:14
that
3:14
stems
3:15
from
3:15
a
3:15
beloved
3:16
Dr.
3:16
Seuss
3:17
classic
3:18
and
3:18
ended
3:18
up
3:19
being
3:19
nominated
3:19
for
3:20
three
3:20
Oscars.
3:22
Here's
3:22
the
3:22
crescendo
3:23
of
3:23
my
3:23
odious
3:24
opus,
3:25
aka
3:25
the
3:25
trailer
3:26
for
3:26
how
3:26
the
3:26
Grinch
3:27
Stole
3:27
Christmas.
4:23
On
4:23
the
4:23
outskirts
4:23
of
4:24
Whoville,
4:24
a
4:24
green
4:25
hermit
4:25
known
4:25
as
4:25
the
4:26
Grinch,
4:26
whose
4:27
heart
4:27
is
4:27
two
4:27
sizes
4:28
too
4:28
small,
4:29
has
4:29
been
4:29
living
4:29
in
4:29
Mount
4:30
Crumpit
4:30
with
4:30
his
4:31
only
4:31
friend
4:31
and
4:31
pet
4:32
dog,
4:32
Max.
4:33
The
4:33
Grinch
4:33
put
4:34
himself
4:34
in
4:34
exile
4:35
due
4:35
to
4:35
his
4:35
hatred
4:35
for
4:36
Christmas,
4:36
and
4:37
after
4:37
he
4:37
was
4:37
bullied
4:37
at
4:38
school
4:38
trying
4:38
to
4:38
impress
4:39
his
4:39
childhood
4:39
crush,
4:40
Martha
4:40
May
4:40
Hoovier,
4:41
he
4:41
ran
4:42
away
4:42
in
4:42
humiliation.
4:43
Years
4:44
later,
4:44
young
4:44
Cindy
4:45
Lou,
4:45
who
4:46
believes
4:46
there
4:46
is
4:46
good
4:46
in
4:47
the
4:47
Grinch,
4:47
and
4:48
because
4:48
Christmas
4:48
is
4:48
a
4:49
time
4:49
for
4:49
being
4:49
with
4:49
loved
4:50
ones,
4:50
she
4:51
extends
4:51
an
4:51
invitation
4:52
to
4:52
the
4:52
Grinch
4:52
to
4:53
join
4:53
the
4:53
town's
4:53
festivities.
4:54
But
4:55
he's
4:55
ridiculed
4:56
again
4:56
and
4:56
vows
4:57
to
4:57
take
4:57
revenge.
4:58
The
4:58
Grinch
4:59
devises
4:59
a
4:59
plot
5:00
to
5:00
ruin
5:00
Christmas
5:01
by
5:01
dressing
5:01
up
5:02
as
5:02
Santa
5:02
and
5:03
stealing
5:03
all
5:03
the
5:03
presents
5:04
to
5:04
ruin
5:05
Whoville's
5:05
Christmas
5:06
once
5:06
and
5:06
for
5:07
all.
5:08
Let's
5:08
run
5:09
through
5:09
the
5:09
cast.
5:10
We

and

5:28
How
5:29
the
5:29
Grinch
5:29
Stole
5:29
Christmas
5:30
have
5:30
A
5:30
screenplay
5:31
by
5:31
Geoffrey
5:31
Price
5:32
and
5:32
Peter
5:32
S.
5:33
Demon
5:33
was
5:34
based
5:34
on
5:34
how
5:35
the
5:35
Grinch
5:35
stole
5:35
Christmas
5:36
by
5:36
Dr.
5:36
Seuss
5:37
and
5:37
was
5:38
directed
5:38
by
5:38
Ron
5:39
Howard.
5:40
Our
5:40
story
5:41
starts
5:41
soon.
5:42
Here
5:42
it
5:42
is.
5:42
It's
5:43
the
5:43
Hook.
5:43
A
5:44
story
5:44
of
5:44
Christmas
5:45
of
5:45
a
5:45
loved
5:45
children's
5:46
book.
5:46
How
5:47
the
5:47
Grinch
5:47
Stole
5:47
Christmas
5:48
A
5:48
creature
5:49
so
5:49
sour,
5:49
let's
5:50
have
5:50
it
5:50
on
5:50
a
5:50
podcast
5:51
for
5:51
just
5:51
under
5:52
an
5:52
hour.
5:53
Theodor
5:53
Geisel
5:54
was
5:54
his
5:54
name.
5:54
He
5:55
wrote
5:55
under
5:55
a
5:55
pseudonym.
5:56
Dr.
5:57
Seuss
5:57
was
5:57
the
5:57
author
5:58
or
5:58
writer.
5:59
That's
5:59
a
5:59
synonym.
6:00
He
6:00
published
6:01
over
6:01
60
6:01
books
6:02
during
6:02
his
6:02
long
6:03
literary
6:03
career.
6:04
Let's
6:04
hope
6:05
he
6:05
occasionally
6:05
rested
6:06
and
6:06
drank
6:07
a
6:07
cold
6:07
beer.
6:08
His
6:08
most
6:08
famous
6:09
the
6:09
Grinch
6:09
and
6:10
the
6:10
Cat
6:10
in
6:10
the
6:10
Hat,
6:11
the
6:11
Lorax
6:11
and
6:12
Horton.
6:12
Here's
6:12
a
6:12
who.
6:13
Don't
6:13
forget
6:13
about
6:14
that.
6:14
He
6:15
passed
6:15
in
6:15
1991
6:16
on
6:16
the
6:17
24th
6:17
of
6:17
September.
6:18
Through
6:19
his
6:19
works
6:20
of
6:20
him
6:20
we
6:21
remember
6:22
and
6:22
this
6:22
is
6:22
why.
6:23
He
6:23
wrote
6:23
in
6:23
anapestic
6:24
tetrameter
6:25
And
6:25
I
6:25
don't
6:26
Dr.
6:26
Seuss
6:27
or
6:27
Dr.
6:27
Soiss,
6:28
his
6:28
own
6:29
pronunciation
6:29
of
6:29
the
6:29
pen
6:30
name
6:30
he
6:30
chose.
6:31
Based
6:31
on
6:31
his
6:32
mother's
6:32
maiden
6:32
name,
6:33
he
6:33
actually
6:34
switched
6:34
to
6:35
the
6:35
Anglicized
6:36
pronunciation
6:36
of
6:37
Seuss.
6:37
So
6:38
that's
6:38
what
6:38
I'm
6:38
going
6:38
to
6:39
continue
6:39
to
6:39
use
6:39
for
6:39
the
6:40
episode.
6:40
I'm
6:41
also
6:41
going
6:41
to
6:41
continue
6:41
to
6:42
use
6:42
his
6:42
pen
6:42
name
6:43
Dr.
6:43
Seuss
6:44
instead
6:44
of
6:44
his
6:45
actual
6:45
legal
6:45
name,
6:46
Theodore
6:46
Geisel.
6:47
But
6:47
Dr.
6:47
Seuss
6:48
was
6:48
never
6:48
something
6:49
we
6:49
grew
6:49
up
6:49
with
6:50
here
6:50
in
6:50
the
6:50

In
6:51
fact,
6:51
I
6:51
didn't
6:52
even
6:52
know
6:52
the
6:52
Grinch
6:53
was
6:53
a
6:53
thing.
6:53
I
6:54
thought
6:54
it
6:54
was
6:54
a
6:54
home
6:54
alone
6:55
thing
6:55
when
6:55
I
6:55
was
6:55
a
6:56
kid,
6:56
because
6:56
in
6:57
both
6:57
movies
6:57
Kevin
6:58
McAllister
6:59
watches
6:59
the
7:00
1966
7:00
animated
7:01
version.
7:02
So
7:02
I
7:02
just
7:02
thought
7:03
it
7:03
was
7:03
an
7:03
Angels
7:03
with
7:03
Filthy
7:04
Souls
7:04
kind
7:05
of
7:05
thing.
7:06
Speaking
7:06
of
7:06
which,
7:07
Dr.
7:07
Seuss
7:08
was
7:08
famously
7:08
reluctant
7:09
to
7:09
have
7:09
his
7:09
characters
7:10
in
7:11
anything
7:11
other
7:11
than
7:11
his
7:12
own
7:12
books,
7:13
but
7:13
he
7:13
did
7:13
agree
7:14
on
7:14
animated
7:15
adaptations,
7:16
starting
7:16
with
7:16
Horton
7:17
Hatches
7:17
the
7:17
egg
7:18
in
7:18
1942.
7:19
And
7:19
in
7:19
1966
7:20
he
7:21
authorized
7:21
his
7:21
friend
7:22
and
7:22
former
7:22
war
7:23
colleague
7:23
Chuck
7:23
Jones,
7:24

of
7:25
Looney
7:25
Tunes
7:25
and
7:25
Merry
7:26
Melodies
7:27
to
7:27
make
7:27
an
7:27
animated
7:28
version
7:28
of
7:29
how
7:29
the
7:29
Grinch
7:29
Stole
7:30
Christmas,
7:30
which
7:31
was
7:31
narrated
7:32
by
7:32
Boris
7:32
Karloff,
7:33
who
7:33
also
7:34
provided
7:34
the
7:34
voice
7:34
of
7:35
the
7:35
Grinch.
7:36
The

7:41
the

7:52
The
7:52
1966
7:53
television
7:53
special
7:54
was
7:54
produced
7:54
in
7:55
a
7:55
year
7:55
on
7:55
a
7:56

8:03
airs
8:03
multiple
8:04

8:04
perennially.
8:06
This
8:06
special
8:06
is
8:07
the
8:07
first
8:07
time
8:07
the
8:07
Grinch
8:08
was
8:08
coloured
8:08
green,
8:09
a
8:09
decision
8:09
made
8:09
by
8:10
Dr.
8:10
Seuss
8:10
and
8:10
Chuck
8:11
Jones
8:12
rather
8:12
than
8:12
the

black
8:13
and
8:13
white
8:13
sketches
8:14
in
8:14
the

8:15
The
8:15
character
8:16
has
8:16
been
8:16
green
8:16
ever
8:17
since.
8:17
While
8:18
Boris
8:18
Karloff
8:19
narrated
8:19
and
8:19
provided
8:20
the
8:20
voice
8:20
for
8:20
the
8:20
Grinch,
8:21
he
8:22
didn't
8:22
sing
8:22
the
8:22
song.
8:23
You're
8:23
a
8:23
mean
8:23
one,
8:24
Mr.
8:24
Grinch.
8:25
Phil
8:25
Ravenscroft
8:26
was
8:27
mistakenly
8:27
uncredited
8:28
for
8:28
providing
8:29
the
8:29
song's
8:29
vocals.
8:30
Seuss
8:31
called
8:31
Ravenscroft
8:32
personally
8:32
to
8:33
apologize
8:33
for
8:33
the
8:34
oversight
8:34
and
8:35
later
8:35
wrote
8:35
letters
8:36
to
8:36
colonists
8:37
nationwide
8:38
telling
8:38
them
8:38
it
8:38
was
8:38
Ravenscroft
8:39
who
8:39
provided
8:40
vocals
8:40
for
8:41
the
8:41
musical
8:41
number.
8:43
Despite
8:43
the
8:43
animated
8:44
specials
8:44
of
8:44
his
8:45
work,
8:45
Dr.
8:45
Seuss
8:46
consistently
8:47
refused
8:47
to
8:47
option
8:48
for
8:48
live
8:48
action
8:49
film
8:49
rights
8:49
rights
8:50
despite
8:50
being
8:50
asked,
8:51
although
8:51
he
8:51
was
8:52
writing
8:52
a
8:52
screen
8:53
adaptation
8:53
of
8:54
oh,
8:54
the
8:54
Places
8:54
yous'll
8:55
Go
8:55
at
8:55
the
8:55
time
8:56
of
8:56
his
8:56
death.
8:57
After
8:57
his
8:57
death
8:58
in
8:58
1991,
8:59
his
8:59
widow,
9:00
Audrey
9:00
Geisel,
9:01
started
9:01
to
9:02
realize
9:02
that
9:02
the
9:02
love
9:03
and
9:03
passion
9:03
people
9:04
had
9:04
for
9:04
Dr.
9:04
Seuss
9:05
and
9:05
his
9:05
characters
9:06
was
9:06
going
9:06
to
9:07
continue
9:07
with
9:07
or
9:08
without
9:08
her
9:08
late
9:09
husband.
9:09
Oh,
9:10
the
9:10
places
9:10
this
9:11
merchandising
9:11
could
9:12
go.
9:12
And
9:13
Dr.
9:13
Seuss
9:13
Enterprises
9:14
was
9:15
born.
9:15
And
9:16
the
9:16
places
9:16
this
9:16
merchandising
9:17
has
9:17
gone
9:18
from
9:18

9:27
pastiche
9:28
of
9:28
several
9:29
of
9:27
Dr.
9:29
Seuss's
9:30
stories.
9:30
Audrey
9:31
Geisel
9:31
might
9:32
be
9:32
seen
9:32
as
9:32
some
9:33
by
9:33
selling
9:33
out
9:33
her
9:34
late
9:34
husband's
9:34
work,
9:35
but
9:35
she's
9:35
incredibly
9:36
particular
9:37
how
9:37
and
9:37
to
9:37
whom
9:38
the
9:38
characters
9:38
are
9:39
licensed,
9:39
and
9:40
much
9:40
of

well
9:47
as

which

9:50
organizations
9:51
in

San

9:52
And
9:53
she
9:53
was
9:53
also
9:53
a
9:53
staunch
9:54
supporter
9:54
of
9:54
a

10:24
Audrey
10:24
Geisel
10:25
would

pass
10:25
away
10:26
in
10:26
December
10:26
2018
10:27
at
10:27
the
10:27
age
10:28
of
10:28
97.
10:29
It
10:30
was
10:30
Audrey
10:30
Geisel
10:31
who
10:31
gave
10:31
the

10:36
But
10:36
as
10:36
always,
10:37
she
10:37
was
10:37
incredibly
10:38
specific
10:38
about
10:38
what
10:39
she
10:39
wanted.
10:39
You
10:40
won't
10:40
be
10:40
surprised
10:41
to
10:41
hear
10:41
she
10:41
also
10:41
had
10:42
significant
10:42
control
10:43
over

10:47
She
10:47
was
10:47
fine
10:48
with
10:48
that.
10:49
Dysel's

the

11:42
for

11:43
at
11:43
this
11:43
point,
11:44
Universal,
11:45
which
11:45
had
11:46
already
11:46
made
11:46
a
11:46
major
11:47
investment
11:47
with

came
11:51
out
11:51
on

11:52
Despite
11:52
having
11:53
to
11:53
agree
11:53
to
11:53
Geisel's
11:54
demands
11:54
for
11:54
shared
11:55
revenue.
11:56

12:04
and
12:04
potential
12:05
director
12:05
Gary
12:05
Ross
12:06
pitch
12:06
didn't
12:07
meet
12:07
Geisel's
12:08
requirements,
12:08
so.
12:09
And
12:10
Ron
12:10
Howard
12:10
was
12:11
then
12:11
brought
12:11
on
12:11
board
12:11
to
12:12
join
12:12
negotiations.
12:13
He
12:13
was
12:14
convinced
12:14
by
12:14
Grazer
12:15
to
12:15
pitch
12:15
to
12:15
Geisel.
12:16
His
12:16
idea
12:16
is
12:17
to
12:17
develop
12:17
the
12:17
character
12:18
of
12:18
Cindy
12:18
Lou,
12:19
give
12:19
her
12:19
an
12:19
expanded
12:20
role,
12:21
flesh
12:21
out
12:21
the
12:21
who's
12:22
of
12:22
Whoville
12:22
and
12:23
give
12:23
the
12:23
Grinch
12:23
a
12:24
backstory
12:24
as
12:24
to
12:24
how
12:25
he'd
12:25
come
12:25
to
12:25
hate
12:25
the
12:26
who's
12:26
so
12:26
much.
12:27
Geisel
12:28
was
12:28
happy
12:28
and
12:29
Ron
12:29
Howard
12:29
became
12:30
the
12:30
director
12:31
after
12:31
giving
12:32
her
12:32
his
12:32
pitch.
12:34
As
12:34
for
12:34
the
12:34
casting
12:35
of
12:35
Jim
12:35
Carrey,
12:36
Geisel
12:36
obviously
12:37
wanted
12:37
a
12:37
big
12:37
name
12:38
actor
12:38
and
12:38
Carrey
12:39
had
12:39
been
12:39
on
12:39
her
12:40
list.
12:40
They
12:41
met
12:41
after
12:41
the
12:41
rights
12:42
went
12:42
up
12:42
for
12:42
auction
12:43
and
12:43
instead
12:43
of
12:43
shaking
12:44
her
12:44
hand,
12:44
Carrey
12:45
spun
12:45
her
12:46
around,
12:46
held
12:46
her
12:46
close
12:47
and
12:47
made
12:47
a
12:47
Grinch
12:48
face
12:48
the
12:48
only
12:48
way
12:49
Jim
12:49
Carrey
12:49
could.
12:50
She
12:50
knew
12:50
she'd
12:51
found
12:51
her
12:51
Grinch.
12:52
At
12:52
this
12:53
point,
12:53
Carrey
12:53
wouldn't
12:54
know
12:54
the
12:54
sacrifices
12:55
he
12:55
would
12:55
have
12:55
to
12:56
make
12:56
to
12:56
bring
12:56
the
12:56
character
12:57
to
12:57
life,
12:57
but
12:58
it
12:58
was
12:58
a
12:58
character
12:58
he
12:58
loved,
12:59
that
12:59
he
12:59
grew
12:59
up
13:00
with
13:00
and
13:00
ultimately
13:01
a
13:01
character
13:01
that
13:01
told
13:02
you
13:02
a
13:02
lot
13:02
about
13:02
human
13:03
behavior
13:03
and
13:04
how
13:04
a
13:04
person
13:04
forms
13:05
prejudice.
13:06
Actors
13:07
like
13:07
Eddie
13:07
Murphy
13:08
and
13:08
Jack
13:08
Nicholson
13:09
were
13:09
considered,
13:09
but
13:09
Carrey
13:10
was
13:10
the
13:11
ideal
13:11
choice.
13:12
He
13:12
was
13:12
filming
13:12
man
13:13
on
13:13
the
13:13
Moon
13:13
at
13:14
the
13:14
time
13:14
auditions
13:14
were
13:15
taking
13:15
place
13:15
and
13:16
he
13:16
was
13:16
method
13:16
acting
13:17
as
13:17
Andy
13:17
Kaufman
13:18
during
13:18
that
13:18
production,
13:19
insisting
13:20
on
13:20
everyone
13:20
calling
13:21
him
13:21
Andy
13:22
even
13:22
when
13:23
reading
13:23
for
13:23
the
13:23
Grinch.
13:24
It
13:24
wasn't
13:24
Jim
13:24
Carrey
13:25
auditioning,
13:25
it
13:26
was
13:26
Andy
13:26
Kaufman.
13:27
And
13:27
apparently
13:28
this
13:28
is
13:28
what
13:28
convinced
13:28
Audrey
13:29
Geisel
13:29
that
13:29
he
13:30
was
13:30
right
13:30
for
13:30
the
13:30
role
13:31
because
13:31
he
13:31
could
13:32
clearly
13:32
lose
13:32
himself
13:33
in
13:33
the
13:33
characters
13:33
he
13:34
played.
13:35
The
13:35
screenplay
13:36
was
13:36
written
13:36
by
13:37
Geoffrey
13:37
Price
13:37
and
13:37
Peter
13:38
S.
13:38
Seaman,
13:39
most
13:39
well
13:39
known
13:39
for
13:40
writing
13:40
who
13:40
Framed
13:41
Roger
13:41
Rabbit
13:41
and
13:42
Doc
13:42
Hollywood.
13:43
They
13:43
would
13:43
write
13:43
eight
13:44
drafts
13:44
with
13:44
Geisel
13:45
insisting
13:46
on
13:46
the
13:46
removal
13:46
of
13:46
sexual
13:47
humor,
13:47
but
13:48
again,
13:48
not
13:48
keys
13:48
in
13:49
a
13:49
bowl.
13:49
She
13:50
was
13:50
specific
13:50
and
13:51
there
13:51
was
13:51
a
13:51
lot
13:51
she
13:52
didn't
13:52
approve
13:52
of.
13:52
But
13:53
in
13:53
her
13:53
mind
13:54
she
13:54
wanted
13:54
to
13:54
make
13:54
a
13:55
movie
13:55
her
13:55
late
13:55
husband
13:56
would
13:56
have
13:56
wanted
13:56
to
13:57
see.
13:57
And
13:57
hey,
13:58
who
13:58
are
13:58
we
13:58
to
13:58
judge
13:59
if
13:59
they
13:59
like
13:59
those
14:00
kind
14:00
of
14:00
parties?
14:01
The
14:02
team
14:02
of
14:02
Alec
14:02
Berg,
14:03
David
14:03
Mandel
14:04
and
14:04
Jeff
14:04
Schaffer
14:05
did
14:05
uncredited
14:06
rewrites
14:07
on
14:07
the
14:07
script.
14:08
And
14:08
while
14:08
the
14:08
original
14:09
animation
14:09
is
14:09
fairly
14:10
straightforward,
14:11
a
14:11
simple
14:12
story
14:12
of
14:12
the
14:12
Grinch
14:13
attempting
14:13
to
14:13
ruin
14:14
Christmas
14:14
for
14:14
the
14:14
who's
14:14
at
14:15
Whoville
14:15
before
14:16
realizing
14:16
Christmas
14:17
isn't
14:17
about
14:17
capitalism.
14:18
This
14:18
version
14:19
would
14:19
indeed
14:19
go
14:20
into
14:20
the
14:20
backstory
14:20
of
14:21
how
14:21
the
14:21
Grinch
14:21
became
14:22
the
14:22
Grinch,
14:23
including
14:23
his
14:23
adoption
14:24
by
14:24
two
14:24
who
14:25
women
14:25
being
14:26
bullied
14:26
at
14:26
school
14:26
by
14:27
the
14:27
future
14:27
mayor
14:28
Augustus
14:28
May,
14:28
who
14:29
finding
14:29
young
14:30
love
14:30
with
14:30
the
14:30
impeccably
14:31
put
14:31
together
14:31
Martha
14:32
May
14:32
Whovier,
14:33
and
14:33
then
14:33
meeting
14:34
young
14:34
Cindy
14:35
Lou,
14:35
who
14:35
now
14:36
a
14:36
precocious
14:36
six
14:37
year
14:37
old
14:37
rather
14:38
than
14:38
the
14:38
two
14:38
year
14:39
old
14:39
in
14:39
the
14:39
book
14:39
and
14:40
animation.
14:40
And
14:41
it's
14:41
Cindy
14:41
Liu
14:42
who
14:42
puts
14:42
all
14:42
of
14:42
this
14:43
together.
14:44
The
14:44
cast
14:44
was
14:44
rounded
14:45
out
14:45
by
14:45
known
14:45
names
14:45
like
14:46
Jeffrey
14:46
Tambour,
14:47
Christine
14:47
Baranski,
14:48
Molly
14:48
Shannon
14:49
and
14:49
Bill
14:49
Irwin.
14:50
Weird
14:50
Anthony
14:50
Hopkins
14:51
spending
14:51
a
14:52
day
14:52
recording
14:52
his
14:53
narration.
14:54
Taylor
14:54
Molson
14:55
stars
14:55
as
14:55
Cindy
14:56
Lou
14:56
in
14:56
her
14:56
breakout
14:57
role,
14:57
and
14:57
the
14:58
reason
14:58
she's
14:58
not
14:59
in
14:59
the
14:59
traditional
14:59
who
15:00
prosthetics
15:01
is
15:01
simply
15:01
that
15:02
because
15:02
she
15:02
was
15:02
a
15:02
child,
15:03
she
15:03
wasn't
15:04
permitted
15:04
to
15:04
use
15:05
prosthetics
15:05
by
15:05
law.
15:06
So
15:06
it
15:06
was
15:07
added
15:07
into
15:07
the
15:07
story
15:08
that
15:08
WHO
15:08
children
15:09
grew
15:09
into
15:09
their
15:10
who
15:10
faces.
15:12
But
15:12
making
15:12
Whoville
15:13
and
15:13
its
15:13
citizens
15:14
come
15:14
to
15:14
life
15:14
was
15:15
one
15:15
thing.
15:15
It
15:15
was
15:16
another
15:16
to
15:17
turn
15:17
Jim
15:17
Carrey
15:18
into
15:18

the
15:20
three
15:20

that
15:20
this

15:39
was
15:39
used
15:39
and
15:39
the
15:40
entire
15:40
Grinch
15:40
costume
15:41
was
15:41
a
15:41
spandex
15:42
suit
15:42
with
15:43
individually
15:43
dyed
15:44
green
15:44
yak
15:44
hair
15:45
sewn
15:45
into
15:45
the
15:46
suit.
15:46
Cary
15:47
would
15:47
be
15:47
in
15:47
the
15:47
suit
15:48
for
15:48
a
15:48
total
15:48
of
15:49
92
15:49
days,
15:50
and
15:50
it
15:50
was
15:50
hardly
15:51
a
15:51
comfortable
15:51
experience.
15:52
The
15:53
experience
15:53
also
15:53
included
15:54
the
15:54
full
15:54
facial
15:55
prosthetic,
15:56
which
15:56
took
15:56
eight
15:56
and
15:56
a
15:57
half
15:57
hours
15:57
initially
15:58
to
15:58
put
15:58
on,
15:58
although
15:59
they
15:59
eventually
15:59
got
16:00
it
16:00
down
16:00
to
16:00
two
16:00
and
16:00
a
16:00
half
16:01
hours
16:01
and
16:02
additionally
16:02
yellow
16:03
contact
16:03
lenses
16:04
which
16:04
irritated
16:04
his
16:05
eyes.
16:05
Carey
16:06
described
16:06
the
16:07
process
16:07
as
16:07
being
16:07
buried
16:08
alive
16:08
every
16:08
day,
16:09
and
16:09
he
16:09
would
16:10
take
16:10
out
16:10
his
16:10
frustrations
16:11
on
16:11
the
16:11
makeup
16:12
artist
16:12
assigned
16:12
to
16:13
him.
16:13
Kazuhiro
16:14
Carrey
16:15
would
16:15
often
16:15
shout
16:16
at
16:16
Hero
16:16
and
16:16
it
16:17
ended
16:17
up
16:17
with
16:17
the
16:17
makeup
16:18
artist
16:18
leaving
16:18
the
16:18
set
16:19
due
16:19
to
16:19
mental
16:20
exhaustion.
16:21
This
16:21
would
16:21
lead
16:21
to
16:21
Carrey
16:22
changing
16:22
his
16:22
attitude,
16:23
realizing
16:24
how
16:24
valuable
16:25
Hero
16:25
was
16:25
to
16:25
the
16:25
production,
16:26
and
16:26
Hero
16:27
ultimately
16:28
returned
16:28
to
16:28
a
16:28
changed
16:29
atmosphere
16:29
on
16:30
set.
16:30
It
16:30
also
16:31
led
16:31
to
16:31
Hero
16:31
getting
16:32
letters
16:32
of
16:32
recommendation
16:33
from
16:33
the
16:33
filmmakers
16:34
for
16:34
his
16:35
green
16:35
card
16:35
application,
16:36
which
16:36
was
16:37
ultimately
16:37
successful.
16:38
After
16:38
the
16:38
Grinch
16:38
makeup
16:39
won
16:39
an
16:39
Oscar
16:40
and
16:40
a
16:40
bafta,
16:41
even
16:41
Josh
16:41
Ryan
16:42
Evans,
16:42
who
16:42
played
16:43
the
16:43
green
16:43
shit
16:43
at
16:43
8
16:43
years
16:44
old,
16:44
also
16:45
had
16:45
to
16:45
go
16:45
through
16:45
the
16:45
same
16:46
makeup
16:46
and
16:46
bodysuit
16:47
as
16:47
Carey.
16:48
Evans
16:48
was
16:49
actually
16:49
18
16:49
at
16:50
the
16:50
time.
16:50
He
16:50
had
16:50
a
16:50
form
16:50
of
16:51
dwarfism,
16:52
leading
16:52
him
16:52
to
16:52
look
16:53
and
16:53
sound
16:53
like
16:53
a
16:53
small
16:54
child.
16:54
He
16:55
passed
16:55
away
16:55
from
16:55
complications
16:56
during
16:57
surgery
16:57
for
16:57
a
16:57
congenital
16:58
heart
16:58
condition
16:59
two
16:59
years
16:59
later.
17:01
Jim
17:01
Carrey's
17:02
horrifying
17:02
experience
17:03
in
17:03
the
17:03
costume
17:03
and
17:03
makeup
17:04
would
17:04
lead
17:04
to
17:05
producer
17:05
Brian
17:05
Grazer
17:06
hiring
17:06
trained
17:07
CIA
17:07
operatives
17:08
to
17:08
train
17:09
Carrey
17:09
on
17:09
how
17:09
to
17:10
cope
17:10
with
17:10
torture,
17:11
which
17:11
led
17:11
to
17:11
Carrey
17:12
starting
17:12
a
17:12
smoking
17:13
habit.
17:14
A
17:14
lot
17:14
of
17:14
Carrey's
17:15
issues
17:15
seem
17:15
to
17:15
stem
17:15
from
17:16
his
17:16
previous
17:16
work
17:17
on
17:17
man
17:17
on
17:17
the
17:17
Moon,
17:18
and
17:18
Carrey
17:18
had
17:19
even
17:19
admitted
17:19
as
17:19
much
17:20
in
17:20
the
17:20
documentary
17:21
Jim
17:21
and
17:21
the
17:22
Great
17:22
Beyond.
17:23
Even
17:23
Ron
17:23
Howard
17:24
donned
17:24
the
17:24
suit
17:25
of
17:25
makeup
17:25
for
17:25
a
17:25
day
17:26
and
17:26
directed
17:27
scenes
17:27
dressed
17:27
as
17:28
the
17:28
Grinch.
17:28
Carrey's
17:29
mimicking
17:29
of
17:30
Howard's
17:30
directing
17:31
style
17:31
was
17:31
improvised
17:32
by
17:32
Carrey
17:33
on
17:33
set,
17:33
and
17:34
Howard
17:34
loved
17:34
the
17:34
impression
17:35
so
17:35
much
17:35
of
17:36
the
17:36
Grinch
17:36
directing
17:37
his
17:37
dog
17:37
Max
17:38
that
17:38
he
17:38
kept
17:38
it
17:38
in
17:39
the
17:39
final
17:39
cut
17:39
of
17:39
the
17:40
movie.
17:41
This
17:41
movie
17:41
was
17:41
also
17:42
nominated
17:42
for
17:42
the
17:42
Academy
17:43
Awards
17:43
for
17:43
Best
17:43
Art
17:44
Direction
17:44
and
17:44
Best
17:45
Costume
17:45
Design.
17:46
The
17:46
costuming
17:47
here
17:47
is
17:47
by
17:47
Rita
17:48
Riak,
17:48
who
17:48
also
17:49
worked
17:49
on
17:49
Casino
17:50
Apollo
17:51
13,
17:51
also
17:52
with
17:52
Ron
17:52
Howard,
17:53
and
17:53
would
17:53
go
17:53
on
17:53
to
17:53
work
17:54
on
17:54
the
17:54
other
17:54
live
17:55
action
17:55
Dr.
17:55
Seuss
17:56
adaptation,
17:56
the
17:56
Cat
17:57
in
17:57
the
17:57
Hat,
17:58
as
17:58
well
17:58
as
17:58
the
17:58
film
17:59
version
17:59
of
17:59
the
17:59
musicals
18:00
Hairspray
18:00
and
18:01
Rock
18:01
of
18:01
Ages.
18:02
While
18:02
the
18:02
who's
18:03
clothing
18:03
was
18:04
kept
18:04
basic
18:04
the
18:05
1957
18:05
children's
18:06
book
18:06
and
18:07
the
18:07
1966
18:08
animated
18:08
television
18:09
special
18:09
with
18:10
nightgowns,
18:11
leggings,
18:11
coats
18:12
and
18:12
bow
18:12
ties
18:12
in
18:13
simplified
18:13
color
18:14
schemes,
18:14
Rayak
18:15
was
18:15
encouraged
18:15
to
18:16
get
18:16
imaginative
18:17
with
18:17
the
18:17
live
18:17
action
18:17
version
18:18
and
18:18
to
18:18
capture
18:19
Seuss's
18:19
drawings
18:20
in
18:20
3D.
18:22
The
18:22
answer
18:22
was
18:23
3D
18:23
clothing.
18:24
Plenty
18:24
of
18:24
textures,
18:25
layering
18:26
tufts,
18:26
tulle,
18:27
fleece,
18:28
pom
18:28
poms,
18:28
chenille,
18:29
crochet,
18:30
mohair,
18:31
fluff
18:31
and
18:31
fuzz.
18:32
The
18:33
base
18:33
layer
18:33
to
18:33
each
18:33
costume
18:34
was
18:34
a
18:34
padded
18:34
bodysuit,
18:35
giving
18:36
each
18:36
who
18:36
a
18:36
distinct
18:37
pie
18:37
shape.
18:38
The
18:38
only
18:39
difference
18:39
would
18:39
be
18:39
Martha
18:40
May,
18:40
played
18:41
by
18:41
Christine
18:41
Baranski,
18:42
who
18:42
was
18:43
all
18:43
50s
18:43
elegance
18:44
and
18:44
rak,
18:45
took
18:45
inspiration
18:46
from
18:46
Queen
18:46
Elizabeth
18:47
II's
18:48
coronation
18:48
and
18:49
the
18:49
fashion
18:49
of
18:49
her
18:50
sister
18:50
Princess
18:50
Margaret,
18:51
with
18:52
tight
18:52
bodices,
18:53
flowing
18:53
skirts
18:53
and
18:54
highlighting
18:54
femininity.
18:55
Another
18:56
inspiration
18:56
for
18:57
Martha
18:57
May's
18:57
clothing
18:58
was
18:58
Lucille
18:59
Ball
18:59
with
19:00
the
19:00
trouser
19:00
and
19:00
dress
19:01
combination
19:01
the
19:02
hostess
19:02
outfit
19:03
as
19:03
featured
19:04
in
19:04
I
19:04
Love
19:04
Lucy.
19:05
So
19:06
popular
19:06
are
19:06
Rayak's
19:07
costumes
19:08
for
19:08
Martha
19:08
May
19:09
that
19:09
she
19:09
has
19:10
somewhat
19:10
of
19:10
a
19:11
following
19:11
online
19:12
with
19:12
YouTube
19:12
tutorials
19:13
on
19:13
how
19:14
to
19:14
make
19:14
the
19:14
costumes
19:14
at
19:15
home,
19:15
as
19:15
well
19:16
as
19:16
Etsy's
19:16
marketplace
19:17
selling
19:18
replicas
19:18
of
19:18
the
19:18
powder
19:19
blue
19:19
and
19:19
white
19:19
ostrich
19:20
feather
19:20
robe
19:21
as
19:21
well
19:21
as
19:21
her
19:22
Christmas
19:22
gown
19:22
with
19:23
its
19:23
sweetheart
19:23
neckline
19:24
and
19:24
forest
19:24
green
19:25
tulle
19:25
skirt.
19:26
Luckily
19:27
for
19:27
Ayak,
19:27
Boranski
19:28
was
19:28
up
19:28
for
19:28
wearing
19:29
anything,
19:30
even
19:30
a
19:30
red
19:30
and
19:31
white
19:31
fur
19:31
trimmed
19:32
Santa
19:32
mini
19:32

19:33
while
19:33
shooting
19:33
Christmas
19:34
light
19:34
out
19:34
of
19:34
a
19:34
cannon.
19:35
Listen,
19:36
we
19:36
all
19:36
know
19:37
the
19:37
pain
19:37
of
19:37
putting
19:37
up
19:38
Christmas
19:38
lights.
19:39
We
19:39
all
19:39
want
19:39
Martha
19:40
May's
19:40
ingenuity
19:41
as
19:41
well
19:42
as
19:42
her
19:42
killer
19:42
fashion
19:43
sense.
19:44
Even
19:44
other
19:44
characters
19:45
like
19:45
Betty
19:45
Lou
19:46
who
19:46
had
19:46
a
19:46
teacup
19:47
fascinator
19:48
paired
19:48
with
19:48
a
19:48
plaid
19:48
corset
19:49
dress
19:50
which
19:50
was
19:50
emulated
19:50
by
19:51
the
19:51
fashion
19:51
house
19:51
Versace
19:52
with

in

teacup
19:55

19:55
Cindy
19:56
Lou,
19:56
who

the

20:02
might
20:02
not

be
20:02
the

first
20:03
thing
20:03
you
20:03
think

years.
20:09
The
20:09
Universal
20:10
Studios
20:10
backlot
20:11
was
20:11
used
20:11
to
20:11
construct
20:12
the
20:12
Whoville
20:12

20:13
which
20:13
was
20:13
located
20:14
behind
20:14
the
20:14
famous
20:15
Bates
20:15

20:15

20:17
The
20:17
majority
20:17
of
20:17
the
20:18
sets
20:18
were
20:18
constructed
20:18
entirely
20:19
on
20:19

20:23
The
20:24

20:24
used
20:24
10
20:25
soundstages
20:26
in
20:26
total
20:26
and
20:27
it
20:27
remains
20:27
one
20:27

20:31
1,938
20:33
candy
20:34

20:34
were
20:34
used
20:35
in
20:35
the
20:35
decoration
20:35
of
20:36
the
20:36

20:36
and
20:37
enough
20:37
fake

20:38
was
20:38
used
20:38
to
20:39
cover
20:39
nine
20:39
football
20:40

20:41
The
20:41
sets
20:41
were
20:42
regularly
20:42
repainted
20:43
as
20:43
they
20:43
were
20:43
never
20:44
originally
20:44
designed

20:45
beyond
20:46
the
20:46

20:46
schedule,
20:47
but
20:48
they
20:48
were
20:48
eventually
20:48
torn
20:49
down
20:49
in
20:49
2020
20:50
after
20:51

always
21:14
does
21:14
this
21:14
effect
21:15
further
21:15
the
21:15

21:16
If
21:16
not
21:17
it
21:17
didn't
21:17
happen,
21:18
but
21:18
if
21:18
it
21:18
did,
21:18
it
21:19
enhanced
21:19
the
21:19
world
21:19
that
21:20
had
21:20
already
21:20
been
21:20
so
21:21
painstakingly
21:22
and
21:22
lovingly
21:22
crafted.
21:23
Virtually
21:24
everyone
21:24
involved
21:25
in
21:25
the
21:25
movie
21:25
had
21:25
grown
21:26
up
21:26

watching
21:27

Seuss's
21:29

21:30
Digital

21:31
created
21:32
a
21:32
CGI
21:32
sleigh
21:33
for
21:33
the
21:33

21:33
where
21:33
it
21:34

the

Grinch's
21:36
sleigh
21:37
ride
21:37
down
21:37
Mount
21:37
Crumpit
21:38
and
21:38
into
21:38
Whoville
21:39
was
21:39
filmed
21:40
on
21:40
a
21:40
blue
21:40
screen
21:40
with
21:41
Taylor
21:41
Momsen
21:42
and
21:42
Jim
21:42
Carrey.
21:43
The
21:43
actors
21:43
and
21:43
the
21:44
sleigh
21:44
were
21:44
to
21:44
be
21:44
composited
21:45
into
21:45
the
21:46
second
21:46
unit's
21:46
background
21:47
plates
21:47
which
21:48
showed
21:48
a
21:48
snowy
21:49
Utah
21:49
hill.
21:50
However,
21:50
the
21:50
weather
21:51
in
21:51
Hoonville
21:52
differed
21:52
from
21:52
that
21:52
in
21:53
the
21:53
Utah
21:53
background
21:54
plates.
21:54
The
21:55
mythical
21:55
trees
21:56
in
21:56
Seuss's
21:56
tale
21:57
didn't
21:57
exactly
21:58
resemble
21:58
Utah's
21:59
natural
21:59
vegetation.
22:00
So
22:01
these
22:01
were
22:01
all
22:01
added
22:02
digitally,
22:03
tens
22:03
of
22:03
thousands
22:03
of
22:04
them,
22:04
using
22:04
10
22:05
proxy
22:05
tree
22:05
models
22:06
which
22:06
were
22:06
tweaked
22:07
with
22:07
various
22:08
branch
22:08
styles,
22:09
shapes
22:09
and
22:09
sizes.
22:10
Animators
22:11
also
22:11
added
22:12
3D
22:12
snow
22:12
which
22:13
fell
22:13
intelligently
22:14
onto
22:14
surfaces,
22:15
sticking
22:15
to
22:16
certain
22:16
areas
22:16
and
22:17
not
22:17
others,
22:17
mimicking
22:18
real
22:18
life
22:19
Snowfall.
22:19
Even
22:20
the
22:20
2D
22:20
painted
22:21
clouds
22:21
were
22:21
rendered
22:22
in
22:22
3D
22:23
and
22:23
moved
22:23
in
22:23
proximity
22:24
to
22:24
the
22:24
horizon.
22:25
And
22:25
given
22:25
form
22:26
and
22:26
motion,
22:27
practical
22:28
snow
22:28
and
22:28
wind
22:28
couldn't
22:29
be
22:29
used
22:29
on
22:29
the
22:30
set
22:30
due
22:30
to
22:30
Kerry's
22:31
eye
22:31
irritation
22:32
problems,
22:32
which
22:33
also
22:33
led
22:33
to
22:33
some
22:34
scenes
22:34
with
22:34
him
22:35
having
22:35
digitally
22:35
enhanced
22:36
yellow
22:36
eyes.
22:37
While
22:38
Max
22:38
the
22:38
dog
22:39
was
22:39
mostly
22:39
played
22:40
by
22:40
a
22:40
rescue
22:40
called
22:41
Kelly
22:41
for
22:41
the
22:41
main
22:42
stunts,
22:42
Max
22:43
was
22:43
also
22:43
rendered
22:44
in
22:44
CG
22:44
for
22:45
some
22:45
scenes.
22:46
Even
22:46
the
22:46
who's
22:46
of
22:46
Whoville
22:47
were
22:47
comprised
22:47
of
22:48
mostly
22:48
human
22:48
actors,
22:49
but
22:49
also
22:50
there
22:50
was
22:50
a
22:50
cast
22:50
of
22:51

22:51

22:52
to
22:52
fill
22:52
out
22:52
crowd
22:53
scenes
22:53
such
22:53
as
22:53
the
22:53
Hoover
22:54
Nation.
22:54
Up
22:55
to
22:55
200
22:55
animated
22:56
characters
22:56
were
22:57
shown
22:57
in
22:57
some
22:57
shots.
22:58
25%
22:59
of
22:59
Whoville
23:00
was
23:00
practical
23:00
sets
23:01
and
23:01
the
23:01
other
23:02
75%
23:03
was
23:03
created
23:04
digitally.
23:05
Ron
23:05
Howard
23:05
had
23:06
a
23:06
firm
23:06
plan
23:06
that
23:06
the
23:07
film
23:07
would
23:07
contain
23:07
260
23:08
visual
23:08
effects
23:09
shots
23:09
altogether.
23:10
In
23:10
the
23:10
end,
23:11
however,
23:11
there
23:12
were
23:12
more
23:12
than
23:12
300
23:13
major
23:13
effect
23:14
shots.
23:14
Digital
23:15
Domain
23:15
did
23:16
356
23:17
shots.
23:17
They
23:18
count
23:18
as
23:18
40
23:18
minutes
23:18
of
23:19
visual
23:19
effects
23:19
in
23:19
the
23:20
film,
23:20
including
23:21
35
23:21
shots
23:21
that
23:22
are
23:22
completely
23:22
CG.
23:23
All
23:23
in
23:24
all,
23:24
including
23:25
minor
23:25
shots,
23:26
the
23:26
grinch
23:26
contains
23:27
about
23:27
600
23:28
vision
23:28
effect
23:28
shots,
23:29
but
23:29
the
23:29
majority
23:30
is
23:30
done
23:30
so
23:31
well
23:31
that
23:31
you
23:31
simply
23:32
can't
23:32
tell
23:33
back
23:34
to
23:34
Max
23:34
though,
23:35
because
23:35
Max
23:35
was
23:35
actually
23:36
played
23:36
by
23:36
six
23:37
different
23:37
dogs
23:38
and
23:38
they
23:38
were
23:38
all
23:39
mixed
23:39
breed
23:39
shelter
23:40

23:40

23:40
had
23:41
their
23:41
fur
23:41
cut
23:42
and
23:42
dyed
23:42
to
23:42
match
23:43
each
23:43
other.
23:43
The
23:44
two
23:44
lead
23:44
dogs
23:44
were
23:45
Kelly
23:45
and
23:45
Chip,
23:46
with
23:46
Kelly
23:47
doing
23:47
most
23:47
of
23:47
the
23:47
stunts
23:48
and
23:48
the
23:48
other
23:49
four
23:49
were
23:49
Topsy,
23:50
Stella,
23:51

23:54
three
23:54
and
23:55
a
23:55
half
23:55
months
23:55
practicing
23:56
with
23:56
the
23:56
dogs
23:56
prior
23:57
to
23:57
filming
23:58
to
23:58
perfect
23:58
their
23:58
stunts
23:59
and
23:59
acclimate
23:59
them
24:00
to
24:00
the
24:00
set
24:00
environment.
24:01
All
24:02
of
24:02
the
24:02
dogs
24:02
were
24:02
adopted
24:03
by
24:03
various
24:04
crew
24:04
members
24:04
or

24:05

24:06
and
24:06
no

24:06
were
24:07
returned
24:07
to
24:07

24:08
after

24:09
Topsy,

24:11

24:11
retired
24:12
from

show
24:12
business
24:13
shortly
24:13
after.
24:14
And
24:15
speaking
24:15
of
24:16
show
24:16
business,
24:16
it's
24:16
really
24:16
the
24:17
only
24:17
way
24:17
I
24:17
can
24:17
segue
24:17
here.
24:18
Let's
24:19
go
24:19
into
24:19
the

24:21
which
24:22
is
24:22
where
24:22
I
24:22
try
24:22
and
24:22
link
24:23
the
24:23
movie
24:23
that
24:23
I'm
24:23
featuring
24:24
with
24:24
Keanu
24:25
Reeves
24:25
for
24:25
no
24:25
reason
24:26
other
24:26
than
24:26
he
24:26
is
24:26
the
24:27
best
24:27
of
24:27
men.
24:27
And
24:28
unless
24:28
you're
24:28
the
24:28
Grinch,
24:29
all
24:30
men
24:30
should
24:30
aspire
24:30
to
24:31
be
24:31
a
24:31
bit
24:31
more
24:31
like
24:32
Keanu
24:32
Reeves.
24:33
Now
24:34
Keanu
24:34
Reeves
24:35
as
24:35
Google's
24:36
AI
24:36
Search
24:36
Bot
24:37
helpfully
24:37
told
24:38
me
24:38
is
24:39
not
24:39
associated
24:39
with
24:40
the
24:40
Grinch.
24:41
That
24:41
is
24:41
the
24:41
power
24:41
of
24:41
AI
24:42
folks
24:42
right
24:43
there.
24:43
However,
24:44
he
24:44
will
24:44
be
24:45
working
24:45
with
24:45
Jim
24:45
Carrey
24:46
in
24:46
the
24:46
upcoming
24:47
sonic
24:47
the
24:47
Hedgehog
24:48
3
24:49
which
24:49
I
24:49
will
24:50
be
24:50
going
24:50
to
24:50
the
24:50
cinema
24:50
to
24:50
see
24:51
with
24:51
my
24:51
nephew
24:51
because
24:52
he
24:52
is
24:52
a
24:52
huge
24:52
fan.
24:53
Carrie
24:54
obviously
24:54
plays
24:54
Dr.
24:55
Robotnik
24:55
and
24:55
Keanu
24:56
Reeves
24:57
voices
24:57
Shadow
24:58
and
24:59
the
24:59
original
24:59
Sonic
25:00
the
25:00
Hedgehog
25:01
would
25:01
actually
25:01
be
25:01
a
25:02
great
25:02
movie
25:02
for
25:02
the
25:02
podcast,
25:03
I
25:03
think,
25:03
because
25:04
you
25:04
remember
25:04
that
25:05
Sonic
25:05
redesign,
25:06
right?
25:06
How
25:07
awesome
25:07
would
25:07
it
25:07
be
25:07
to
25:07
go
25:08
into
25:08
the
25:08
history
25:08
and
25:08
legacy
25:09
of
25:09
that?
25:10
Maybe
25:10
that's
25:11
one
25:11
for
25:11
next
25:11
year.
25:12
So
25:13
Jim
25:13
Carrey
25:14
performs
25:14
the
25:14
song
25:15
you're
25:15
a
25:15
mean
25:15
one,
25:16
Mr.
25:16
Grinch
25:16
in
25:17
character
25:17
as
25:17
the
25:18
Grinch
25:18
singing
25:19
about
25:19
himself.
25:20
Taylor
25:20
Momsen
25:21
also
25:21
sings
25:22
Where
25:22
Are
25:22
youe
25:22
Christmas?
25:23
Which
25:23
was
25:24
written
25:24
by
25:25
the
25:25
one
25:25
and
25:25
only
25:25
Mariah
25:26
Carey,
25:27
James
25:27
Horner
25:27
and
25:28
Will
25:28
Jennings.
25:29
Mariah
25:29
Carey
25:30
also
25:30
wrote
25:31
a
25:31
full
25:31
length
25:32
pop
25:32
version
25:32
of
25:32
the
25:33
song
25:33
with
25:33
additional
25:34
lyrics
25:34
for
25:34
the
25:34
film's
25:35
soundtrack.
25:36
The
25:36
song
25:36
was
25:36
originally
25:37
recorded
25:37
by
25:37
Carey,
25:38
but
25:39
because
25:39
of
25:39
a
25:39
legal
25:39
case
25:40
and
25:40
an
25:40
acrimonious
25:41
divorce
25:41
from
25:42
her
25:42
ex
25:42
husband
25:42
Tommy
25:43
Mottola,
25:44
it
25:44
couldn't
25:44
be
25:44
released.
25:45
So
25:45
it
25:45
was
25:45
re
25:46
recorded
25:46
and
25:46
released
25:47
by
25:47
Faith
25:47
Hill.
25:48
The
25:49
score
25:49
for
25:49
the
25:49
movie
25:49
was
25:50
composed
25:50
by
25:50
James
25:50
Horner
25:51
and
25:51
the
25:51
soundtrack
25:52
also
25:52
features
25:53
songs
25:53

25:54

25:57
To
25:58

25:58
with
25:58
the
25:58

26:38
Love

26:40
The
26:40
Grinch
26:40
may
26:40
hate
26:41
Christmas,
26:41
but
26:41
he
26:42
loved
26:42
being

manage

And

in

the

28:32
we
28:33
just
28:33
don't

Shines

as

the

28:47
unfortunately,
28:48
it's
28:48
not
28:48
enough
28:48
to
28:49
save
28:49
this
28:49
movie.
28:50
You'd
28:50
be
28:50
better
28:50
off
28:51
watching
28:51
the
28:51

28:52

28:53
Critics
28:53
were
28:53
agreed
28:54
that
28:54
Carrey
28:54
was
28:54
perfectly
28:55
cast,
28:55
but
28:55
the
28:56
overall
28:56
tone
28:56
of
28:56
the
28:57

28:57
skewed
28:58
too
28:58
dark
28:59
when
29:00
it
29:00
came
29:00
to
29:00
awards
29:01
season,
29:01
though,
29:02
as
29:02
I
29:02
mentioned,
29:02
how
29:03
the
29:03
Grinch
29:03
Stole
29:03
Christmas
29:04
ended
29:04
up
29:04
with
29:04
three
29:05
Academy
29:05

29:05
nominations
29:06
for
29:07
Best

29:07

29:08

and
29:09
Best

29:10
winning
29:11
for
29:11

29:12

29:12

29:13
and
29:13
Gail
29:13

29:14
Ryan.
29:14
It
29:15
was
29:15
also
29:15
nominated
29:15
for
29:16
a
29:16
Best
29:16

29:16

29:17

29:17
or
29:17
Comedy
29:18
Golden
29:18
Globe
29:18
for
29:19
Jim
29:19
Carrey,
29:20
who
29:20
would
29:20
lose
29:20
to
29:21
George
29:21
Clooney
29:21
for
29:22
O
29:22
Brother,
29:22
Where
29:22
Art
29:23
Thou?
29:23
But
29:24
it
29:24
was
29:24
also
29:24
nominated
29:25
for
29:25
two
29:25
Golden
29:26
Raspberry
29:26
Awards,
29:27
Worst
29:27
Remake
29:27
or
29:28
Sequel
29:28
and
29:28
Worst
29:29
Screenplay,
29:30
as
29:30
well
29:30
as
29:30
three
29:30
Stinkers
29:31
Bad
29:31
Movie
29:32
Awards
29:32
for
29:32
Worst
29:33
Supporting
29:33
Actress,
29:34
Worst
29:34

29:35
or
29:35
Song
29:35
Performance,
29:36
and
29:36
Worst
29:37
Screenplay.
29:38
So
29:38
it
29:39
kind
29:39
of
29:39
balances
29:39
each
29:39
other
29:40
out
29:40
really.
29:41
Now,
29:41
obviously
29:42
there
29:42
were
29:42
no
29:42
sequels
29:43
to
29:43
this
29:43
movie,
29:43
but
29:43
there
29:44
is
29:44
technically
29:45
a
29:45
remake
29:46
of
29:46
this
29:46
movie,
29:47
technically
29:47
a
29:47
couple
29:48
of
29:48
remakes.
29:49
In
29:49
2018,
29:50
Illumination
29:51
released
29:51
the
29:51
Grinch,
29:52
an
29:52
animated
29:53
reboot
29:54
with
29:54
Benedict
29:54
Cumberbatch
29:55
as
29:55
the
29:55
character.
29:56
In
29:57
2022,
29:58
an
29:58
unauthorized
29:59
horror
29:59
parody
30:00
called
30:00
the
30:00
Mean
30:00
One
30:01
was
30:01
released.
30:02
I
30:02
think
30:02
it's
30:02
safe
30:03
to
30:03
say
30:03
that
30:03
Audrey
30:03
Geisel
30:04
would
30:04
not
30:04
have
30:05
given
30:05
permission
30:05
for
30:05
it
30:06
had
30:06
she
30:06
been
30:06
alive.
30:07
The
30:07
character
30:08
is
30:08
green,
30:08
but
30:09
not
30:09
referred
30:09
to
30:09
as
30:09
the
30:10
Grinch,
30:10
presumably
30:11
because
30:11
copyright
30:12
just
30:12
the
30:13
mean
30:13
one,
30:14
but
30:14
here
30:14
in
30:14
the
30:14
UK
30:15
the
30:15
mean
30:15
one
30:16
is
30:16
available
30:16
on
30:17
Amazon
30:17
Prime
30:17
Video
30:18
if
30:18
you're
30:19
interested
30:19
in
30:19
watching
30:20
it.
30:20
I
30:20
have
30:20
not
30:21
watched
30:21
it.
30:21
However
30:22
I
30:22
did
30:22
notice
30:23
it
30:23
was
30:23
on
30:23
Amazon
30:24
Prime
30:24
Video
30:25
as
30:25
is
30:25
how
30:25
the
30:25
Grinch
30:26
Stole
30:26
Christmas,
30:27
which
30:27
is
30:27
where
30:27
I
30:27
watched
30:28
it.
30:28
So
30:29
maybe
30:29
you
30:29
could
30:29
do
30:29
a
30:29
back
30:29
to
30:30
back
30:30
of
30:30
both
30:30
of
30:31
those,
30:31
but
30:32
just
30:32
going
30:32
back
30:33
to
30:33
illumination
30:34
because
30:35
the
30:35
animated
30:36
version
30:36
of
30:36
the
30:36
Grinch
30:37
is
30:37
a
30:37
perfectly
30:38
fine
30:38
movie.
30:39
I
30:39
enjoyed
30:39
it
30:40
very
30:40
much
30:40
actually
30:41
it
30:41
beautifully
30:42
animated,
30:42
bright,
30:43
colorful
30:44
and
30:44
very
30:45
very
30:45
flawless.
30:46
And
30:46
I
30:46
mean
30:47
that
30:47
in
30:47
a
30:47
good
30:47
way
30:47
because
30:48
CG
30:48
animation
30:49
is
30:49
technically
30:49
flawless,
30:50
but
30:51
also
30:51
in
30:51
a
30:52
bad
30:52
way.
30:53
CG
30:53
animation
30:54
is
30:54
technically
30:55
flawless.
30:56
Every
30:56
pixel
30:57
is
30:57
perfect,
30:57
every
30:58
shot
30:58
crystal
30:59
clear,
30:59
and
31:00
every
31:00
joke
31:00
is
31:01
sanitized.
31:02
Compare
31:03
that
31:03
if
31:03
you
31:04
will
31:04
to
31:04
the
31:04
1966
31:05
animated
31:05
original
31:06
with
31:06
its
31:07
hand
31:07
drawn
31:07
quality,
31:08
occasional
31:08
missteps
31:09
in
31:09
missing
31:10
cells,
31:10
occasional
31:11
color
31:11
mismatch
31:12
issues,
31:12
and
31:12
somewhat
31:13
janky
31:13
quality.
31:14
The
31:15
book
31:15
and
31:15
the
31:16
original
31:16
animation
31:17
became
31:17
perfect
31:18
in
31:18
their
31:18
imperfections
31:19
and
31:20
this
31:20
leads
31:20
me
31:20
perfectly
31:21
to
31:21
how
31:21
the
31:21
Grinch
31:21
Stole
31:22
Christmas.
31:22
A
31:23
movie
31:23
with
31:23
a
31:23
gifted
31:24
director,
31:24
a
31:25
big
31:25
name
31:25
star,
31:26
state
31:26
of
31:26
the
31:26
art
31:27
technology
31:27
and
31:28
practical
31:28
effects
31:28
and
31:28
makeup
31:29
that
31:29
isn't
31:30
perfect
31:30
by
31:30
any
31:30
stretch
31:31
of
31:31
the
31:31
imagination.
31:32
And
31:32
yet
31:33
somehow
31:34
it
31:34
also
31:34
is.
31:35
It
31:35
tries
31:36
to
31:36
be
31:36
as
31:36
faithful
31:36
as
31:37
possible
31:37
to
31:37
the
31:37
original
31:38
text
31:38
while
31:39
also
31:39
fleshing
31:40
out
31:40
a
31:40
small
31:40
story
31:41
to
31:41
a
31:41
feature
31:41
length
31:42
live
31:42
action
31:43
movie.
31:44
I
31:44
look
31:44
at
31:44
this
31:44
movie
31:45
and
31:45
I
31:45
just
31:46
see
31:46
the
31:46
wild
31:46
ambition
31:47
on
31:47
clear
31:48
display.
31:48
Ambition
31:49
that
31:49
could
31:49
never
31:49
be
31:50
present
31:50
in
31:50
the
31:50
2018
31:51
version.
31:52
As
31:52
beautiful
31:52
as
31:53
it
31:53
is,
31:54
it
31:54
was
31:55
always
31:55
going
31:55
to
31:55
be
31:56
tough
31:56
to
31:56
adapt
31:56
a
31:56
story
31:57
that
31:57
contains
31:57
more
31:58
spirit
31:58
than
31:59
actual
31:59
plot.
32:00
Making
32:00
a
32:00
feature
32:01
length
32:01
film
32:01
out
32:01
of
32:01
a
32:02
26
32:02
minute
32:02
animated
32:03
short
32:03
was
32:04
going
32:04
to
32:04
be
32:04
a
32:04
challenge.
32:05
And
32:06
I
32:06
know
32:06
live
32:07
action
32:07
remakes
32:08
are
32:08
never
32:08
my
32:09
thing,
32:09
but
32:10
credit
32:10
where
32:11
credit's
32:11
due,
32:11
when
32:11
a
32:12
live
32:12
action
32:12
remake
32:13
has
32:13
this
32:14
sort
32:14
of
32:14
incredible
32:15
production
32:15
design
32:16
and
32:16
it
32:16
casts
32:17
the
32:17
right
32:17
person
32:17
for
32:17
the
32:18
role.
32:18
Jim
32:18
Carrey
32:19
really
32:19
is
32:20
great.
32:20
The
32:21
only
32:21
thing
32:21
I
32:21
think
32:22
about
32:22
this
32:22
movie
32:23
is
32:23
I
32:23
agree
32:24
with
32:24
the
32:24
critics
32:24
that
32:25
it
32:25
does
32:25
skew
32:25
a
32:26
little
32:26
dark
32:26
at
32:26
times
32:27
and
32:27
tonally
32:28
feels
32:28
a
32:28
little
32:29
bit
32:29
all
32:29
over
32:29
the
32:29
place.
32:30
Still,
32:31
if
32:31
it
32:31
got
32:31
the
32:32
okay
32:32
from
32:32
Audrey
32:33
Geisel
32:34
then
32:34
it
32:34
must
32:34
have
32:34
satisfied
32:35
her.
32:36
Christmas
32:37
could
32:37
be
32:37
a
32:37
tough
32:38
time
32:38
for
32:38
some
32:38
people.
32:39
It
32:39
has
32:39
become
32:40
highly
32:40
commercialized,
32:41
focusing
32:42
on
32:42
capitalism
32:43
and
32:43
buying
32:43
as
32:43
much
32:43
as
32:44
possible.
32:44
It's
32:45
a
32:45
real
32:45
struggle
32:46
sometimes
32:46
to
32:46
be
32:46
able
32:46
to
32:46
afford
32:47
it
32:47
all,
32:48
especially
32:48
during
32:49
a
32:49
cost
32:49
of
32:49
living
32:49
crisis
32:50
when
32:51
inflation
32:51
is
32:51
high
32:52
and
32:52
even
32:52
tougher
32:53
if
32:53
you
32:53
don't
32:53
have
32:53
family
32:54
or
32:54
friends
32:54
close
32:55
by
32:55
to
32:55
be
32:55
with
32:55
at
32:56
Christmas
32:57
Christmas
32:57
can
32:57
be
32:57
a
32:58
lonely
32:58
time
32:59
and
32:59
sometimes
32:59
that
33:00
loneliness
33:00
is
33:00
self
33:01
imposed
33:01
because
33:02
of
33:02
mental
33:02
health
33:03
issues
33:03
or
33:04
maybe
33:04
just
33:04
because
33:04
Christmas
33:05
is
33:05
traumatic.
33:06
Just
33:07
because
33:07
you
33:07
love
33:08
Christmas
33:08
or
33:09
celebrate
33:09
it,
33:09
it
33:10
doesn't
33:10
mean
33:10
someone
33:10
else
33:11
will.
33:11
The
33:12
Grinch
33:12
may
33:12
be
33:13
heartless
33:13
and
33:13
selfish,
33:14
but
33:14
he
33:14
has
33:14
his
33:15
reasons.
33:15
And
33:16
all
33:16
Cindy
33:16
Liu
33:17
saw
33:17
was
33:17
someone
33:17
who'd
33:18
been
33:18
ostracized
33:19
and
33:19
offered
33:19
him
33:20
a
33:20
chance
33:20
to
33:20
be
33:20
accepted.
33:21
But
33:22
he
33:22
needed
33:22
to
33:22
want
33:23
that
33:23
acceptance.
33:24
And
33:24
when
33:24
he
33:25
learns
33:25
Christmas
33:25
is
33:25
about
33:26
more
33:26
than
33:26
presents,
33:27
he
33:27
finally
33:28
has
33:28
that
33:28
will
33:28
to
33:29
change
33:29
and
33:29
give
33:29
the
33:29
who's
33:30
a
33:30
chance
33:30
to
33:30
give
33:31
him
33:31
a
33:31
chance.
33:32
And
33:32
sometimes
33:33
we
33:33
all
33:33
need
33:33
to
33:33
look
33:33
at
33:34
things
33:34
as
33:34
if
33:34
we
33:34
were
33:34
a
33:35
small
33:35
child
33:35
like
33:35
Cindy
33:36
Louis.
33:36
Without
33:37
prejudice,
33:38
without
33:38
grievance,
33:39
without
33:39
trauma,
33:40
without
33:41
everything
33:41
that
33:41
can
33:42
maybe
33:42
hold
33:42
us
33:43
back
33:43
from
33:43
accepting
33:44
things
33:44
into
33:44
our
33:45
lives.
33:45
You
33:46
may
33:46
or
33:46
may
33:46
not
33:46
believe
33:47
in
33:47
Santa.
33:47
I
33:48
personally
33:48
like
33:48
to
33:48
track
33:49
him
33:49
via
33:49
NORAD
33:50
every
33:50
year.
33:51
But
33:51
we
33:51
should
33:51
all
33:51
believe
33:52
in
33:52
the
33:52
power
33:52
of
33:52
forgiveness,
33:53
togetherness,
33:54
compassion
33:55
and
33:56
presents
33:56
over
33:57
presents
33:57
at
33:57
Christmas.
33:58
Your
33:59
kid
33:59
isn't
33:59
going
33:59
to
34:00
remember
34:00
the
34:00
Mega
34:00
Blaster
34:01
3000
34:01
you
34:02
bought
34:02
them
34:02
this
34:02
year,
34:03
but
34:03
they
34:03
will
34:03
remember
34:04
if
34:04
you
34:04
were
34:04
around
34:05
on
34:05
Christmas
34:05
Day.
34:06
That's
34:07
the
34:07
ultimate
34:07
message
34:07
of
34:08
this
34:08
movie.
34:09
Let's
34:09
not
34:09
be
34:09
mean
34:10
ones.
34:10
It's
34:11
okay
34:11
if
34:11
your
34:11
heart
34:12
grows
34:12
three
34:12
sizes.
34:13
And
34:14
even
34:14
if
34:14
you
34:14
are
34:14
on
34:15
the
34:15
naughty
34:15
list,
34:16
you
34:16
might
34:16
also
34:17
end
34:17
up
34:17
on
34:17
the
34:18
Nice
34:18
list.
34:19
What
34:20
if
34:20
Christmas,
34:20
she
34:21
thought,
34:21
doesn't
34:21
come
34:21
from
34:22
a
34:22
store?
34:22
What
34:23
if
34:23
Christmas
34:24
perhaps
34:24
means
34:25
a
34:25
little
34:25
bit
34:26
more?
34:27
Welcome
34:27
Christmas.
34:28
Bring
34:28
your
34:28
cheerleader
34:29
cheer
34:29
to
34:30
all
34:30
who's
34:30
far
34:30
and
34:31
near
34:31
Christmas
34:32
Day
34:32
is
34:32
in
34:32
our
34:33
grasp
34:33
so
34:33
long
34:33
as
34:34
we
34:34
have
34:34
hands
34:34
to
34:35
clasp
34:35
Christmas
34:36
Day
34:36
will
34:36
always
34:37
be
34:37
just
34:37
as
34:38
long
34:38
as
34:38
we
34:38
have
34:39
we
34:39
welcome
34:40
Christmas
34:40
while
34:41
we
34:41
stand
34:42
heart
34:42
to
34:42
heart
34:43
and
34:43
hand
34:43
in
34:44
hand.
34:45
Thank
34:45
you
34:45
for
34:45
listening.
34:46
As
34:46
always,
34:46
I
34:46
would
34:46
love
34:46
to
34:46
hear
34:46
your
34:47
thoughts
34:47
on
34:47
how
34:47
the
34:48
Grinch
34:48
Stole
34:48
Christmas.
34:49
And
34:49

34:49

34:50

34:50

Happy

35:17
and
35:17
the
35:18
Nice
35:18
List
35:18
only
35:19
get
35:19
an
35:20
episode
35:20
on
35:21
the
35:21
modern
35:21
classic
35:22
Feel
35:22
Good
35:23
Christmas
35:23
Movie.
35:24
Let's
35:24
go
35:24
through
35:25
the
35:25
rules.
35:26
Number
35:26
one,
35:27
Treat
35:27
every
35:27
day
35:28
like
35:28
Christmas.
35:29
Number
35:30
two,
35:30
there's
35:31
room
35:31
for
35:31
everyone
35:32
on
35:32
the
35:32
Nice
35:32
List.
35:33
Yep,
35:34
even
35:34
you.
35:35
And
35:35
number
35:36
three,
35:36
the
35:37
best
35:37
way
35:37
to
35:37
spread
35:38
Christmas
35:38
cheer
35:39
is
35:39
singing
35:40
loud
35:40
for
35:40
all
35:41
to
35:41
hear
35:42
it's
35:42
the
35:43
code
35:43
of
35:43
the
35:43
elves
35:44
for
35:44
a
35:44
reason.
35:44
Because
35:45
the
35:45
next
35:46
Christmas
35:46
episode
35:47
is
35:47
on
35:47
the
35:47
history
35:48
and
35:48
legacy
35:48
of
35:49
Elf.
35:50
And
35:50
if
35:50
you're
35:50
listening
35:50
to
35:51
this
35:51
episode
35:51
on
35:52
release
35:52
day
35:53
and
35:53
you
35:53
think
35:53
you're
35:54
on
35:54
the
35:54
nice
35:54
list,
35:55
you'll
35:55
get
35:55
that
35:55
episode
35:56
tomorrow.
35:57
And
35:58
I
35:58
always
35:58
say
35:58
this
35:59
podcast
35:59
is
35:59
free
35:59
and
36:00
it
36:00
always
36:00
will
36:00
be
36:00
free.
36:01
However,
36:01
it
36:02
is
36:02
unfortunately
36:02
not
36:03
free
36:03
to
36:03
make
36:03
a
36:03
podcast.
36:04
I
36:05
am
36:05
very
36:05
fortunate
36:05
in
36:06
that
36:06
I
36:06
have
36:06
a
36:06
team
36:06
of
36:07
wonderful
36:07
people
36:08
who
36:08
support
36:08
me
36:09
financially
36:09
and
36:10
if
36:10
you
36:10
are
36:10
in
36:10
the
36:10
position
36:10
to
36:11
do
36:11
so,
36:11
that
36:12
would
36:12
be
36:12
amazing.
36:12
But
36:13
of
36:13
course
36:13
you're
36:13
under
36:13
no
36:14
obligation.
36:15
There
36:15
are
36:15
two
36:15
ways
36:16
you
36:16
can
36:16
help
36:16
this
36:16
podcast
36:17
continue
36:17
