The Goods send off 2025 with an epic and somewhat discursive look at the history of Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starting with the beloved book by the influential children's author, through the animated classic by Chuck Jones, through the Ron Howard/Jim Carrey adaptation of our childhood, and through the Illumination retelling from a few years ago. Join as they discuss what makes Seuss so special and distinct, the elegant exuberance of the original animated special, the unhinged and sexually charged "ugly Christmas sweater" energy of the 2000 film, the baffling "anodyne" choices of the recent film, and everyone's favorite Christmas character, Fred the reindeer.

Lastly, Will shares two Christmas surprises with Dan and Brian to make sure their hearts grow three sizes this winter.
