How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) | Sad Sacks Movie Review | v.23
from PRPL Podcast · host PRPL Media Co.
“Maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time trudging through the snow-covered streets of Whoville with Ron Howard’s 2000 live-action holiday spectacle How the Grinch Stole Christmas. From the neon cheer of the Whos to the lonely cave atop Mount Crumpit, we revisit the story of a green outcast whose heart is two sizes too small—and the town determined to celebrate anyway. Join us as we break down Jim Carrey’s unhinged, iconic performance, the film’s wild production design, and how Dr. Seuss’s simple moral was transformed into a maximalist Christmas fever dream about kindness, community, and choosing connection over consumption. Roast beast optional—but heart very much required.How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) | Sad Sacks Movie Review video podcast available on YouTube.Video Podcast: https://youtu.be/UNTyzVHsXSQYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@prplpodcastIG: https://www.instagram.com/prplpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prplpodcastMore Links: https://linktr.ee/prplpodcast
