After Dark Preview: 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' and 'The Family Stone'
Listen now
Description
As a treat heading into December, Nick and Sophia preview their Patreon After Dark episode on two holiday gems— could they one day be considered classics? First, they chat about How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Ron Howard’s Oscar-winning, live-action remake with Jim Carrey playing Whoville’s #1 Scrooge, The Grinch. They list the many Oscar connections associated with the cast and crew, force each other to say three nice things about the movie, and debate if “Where Are You Christmas?” should’ve been nominated for Original Song. If you would like to join in on the rest of their Whobilation (J.D. Vance isn’t invited— he does come up) before they discuss the equally funny and tragic The Family Stone, check out www.patreon.com/OscarWild and contribute at the ‘Oscar Wild: After Dark’ tier or higher on Patreon.
