We're halfway through the month and only 10 days away from Christmas, so it was time to start featuring red, white and green movies on Have You Ever Seen. And for the 701st episode, I'm prattling on about Jim Carrey playing The Grinch. And does he! The rubber-faced Canadian was about as perfect as anybody could have been playing Dr. Seuss' iconic mean one...and he also brought dozens of over-the-top ad libs and wisecracks to the dance. His schtick doesn't always land though and more than a few things in this film just don't make sense in a kids' picture. Also, Chuck Jones' 1966 animated TV special is classic partly for how sweet it is, including the Whos...who are such jerks here. Ron Howard's impersonal (and inferior) take on the big, green grump & his neighbours is just garish, loud and only occasionally funny. Yet this is one of the great change-of-heart stories ever, so there ARE things to like. So load up with a heaping helping of Who Hash and some roast beast as I talk about How The Grinch Stole Christmas. To let me know that you didn't love the audio distortion in this episode, write me an email to complain: haveyoueverseenpodcast@gmail.com. I'm working on improving that. Stay tuned. You can also tweet me (@moviefiend51 on Twi-X) or Sky me (ryan-ellis on Bluesky). Subscribe to Have You Ever Seen, especially since extra content is soon coming your way on days other than just Mondays. The show will just pop up in your feed. Rate the show, write a review, tell your friends. I also jot down thoughts about movies old AND new on Letterboxd. I'm "RyanHYES" on that venture.
In time for the holidays, Rivka and Frank cover the 2000 Jim Carrey adaptation of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The duo dig into whether this Dr. Seuss classic is truly an anti-consumerist tale—or if it ultimately misses the mark. They also unpack Whoville as a surprisingly prophetic preview of our current plastic-surgery obsession and the class aesthetics baked into its cheerfully creepy smiles. For next week's movie, we'll be watching another Christmas classic, Tim Allen's 1994 The Santa Clause.
The guys made some bets in the Daily Gambit, Tony and Skraby almost laughed themselves to death, and The Countdown was Top 5 Jim Carrey movies.
Tony, Chris, and Skraby had a fun Friday show including Bailey Barnhard of the Aztecs women's basketball team. Our Countdown was Top 5 Jim Carrey movies, and we had a lively Big 5!
MUSICRoger Daltrey of The Who is now SIR Roger Daltrey. He was knighted by Prince William at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. It's in recognition of not only his musical achievements, but also his charity work. Here he is on the award, and what his younger self and band would've thought back in the day. https://consequence.net/2025/12/sir-roger-daltrey-knighted/ Sharon Osbourne has given her first interview since the death of her husband Ozzy this past July.Appearing Wednesday on the British TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, hosted by her longtime friend, she opened up about his health struggles, doing his final show this past July 5th in Birmingham, England, their last conversations and much more. You can watch the show on YouTube, and here are a few excerpts:Sharon Osbourne on the last two weeks of Ozzy's life. OC:...in seven years. :27 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was so happy Piers afterwards. And he kept looking at the papers and he goes to me, 'I never knew so many people like me.' But that was the way he was. I mean, he knew he was famous, but not to the amount that people loved him. It's a whole different thing. And he was just so happy. Happier than we'd seen him in seven years."Sharon Osbourne on dreams Ozzy was having the last week of his life. OC:...he was ready. :26 [Courtesy of Piers Morgan Uncensored]"He was having dreams the last week of his life. He was seeing people that he never knew. I said, 'Well, what kind of people?' He goes, 'All different people. And I just keep walking and walking and I'm seeing all these different people every night. And I go back there and I'm looking at these people and they're looking at me and nobody's talking.' And he he knew. He was ready." Sharon also talked about the first time she and Ozzy met, when they fell in love, how she will never want to get married again, how if she didn't have kids she would have killed herself when he died, and the thing she misses most is holding his hand.On a lighter note, she also talked about how she wanted to get back at Roger Waters for the negative things he said about Ozzy after he died. And that was by sending him a Tiffany box filled with feces, which she used to do to critics who wrote negative reviews about Ozzy's shows without being there. When she did, it was her infant son Jack's poop that would be used.She ultimately decided against it, saying, “Even that is a waste, to send [crap] to him. It's a waste because he's really insignificant. But I just thought, anybody that passes has a family… you don't do that.” (Sharon's not the first musician's wife to do that. Paul and Linda McCartney sent some of their daughter Stella's poop to a journalist who earned their trust, then betrayed them.)Going forward, Sharon says she's continuing to work on an Ozzy bio-pic and that she knows who she wants to play him. When asked if it was Yunglbud she didn't confirm nor deny.https://youtu.be/aaLMsEJKZEQ Kurt Cobain's MTV Unplugged Martin D-18E has been donated to the Royal College of Music London by Peter Freedman, who paid $6,010,000 for it at an auction in 2020.

But there are plenty of other films that spark the same argument, "Is this actually a Christmas movie?" Here are 13 more:1. Every "Harry Potter" movie (2001 - 2011). All the "Potter" flicks . . . with the possible exception of the last one . . . have some kind of yuletide vibe . . . or at least a wintry one.2. "Batman Returns" (1992). One of the big set pieces is the lighting of the Gotham Christmas tree.3. "Eyes Wide Shut" (1999). Even though it was released in July, it takes place over Christmas.4. "Gremlins" (1984). This one has Christmas written all over it. And also little green, murderous demons.5. "First Blood" (1982). The first of the "Rambo" films has a Christmas tree in the background of one scene. So . . . Christmas movie!!!6. "Trading Places" (1983). There's a Christmas party, and Dan Aykroyd as a drunken Santa waving a handgun. But it doesn't end on December 25th. If it's a Christmas movie, then it also qualifies as a New Year's movie.7. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" (2005). This one takes place during the Christmas season in L.A. And it was released in November.8. "Edward Scissorhands" (1990). Kind of a no-brainer.9. "Lethal Weapon" (1987). Another one of those action movies that HAPPENS to take place around Christmas.10. "Rocky" (1976). This might be the greatest American holiday film of all time, because it includes Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. And also punching.11. "Hook" (1991). The scenes in the real world, outside Neverland, are set at Christmas. 12. "Iron Man 3" (2013). The whole movie plays out around Christmas.13. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993). Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Why not both?AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we dive into the neon-soaked psychological chaos of Batman Forever (1995)! We analyze Val Kilmer's fractured Bruce Wayne, the dynamic debut of Chris O'Donnell's Robin, and Nicole Kidman's Dr. Chase Meridian. The focus: the spectacular, highly theatrical war waged by Jim Carrey's Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face, as they attempt to steal the minds of Gotham with a mass-hypnosis device. Did Joel Schumacher's vision strike the perfect balance between pop-art spectacle and darkness? Tune in!
Jim Carrey stars as Truman Burbank the star of the original reality show - vastly different to any you might have seen before. While we learn early it's a TV show - Stephen poses a fascinating question about how this might otherwise be edited. Enjoy Jim, alongside Laura Linney, Ed Harris and more.

Every time Disney adapts A Christmas Carol, it's a ghost story—but it's not just about Scrooge. It's a story about the Walt Disney Company itself. CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE IN VIDEO FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE @ https://youtu.be/pCARpdjm0rk From the hand-drawn rebirth of Mickey Mouse in the 80s to the felt-and-friendship of the Muppets in the 90s, and the high-stakes digital ambition of the 2000s, each adaptation of Dickens' classic reveals exactly where Disney was as a company, what it was struggling with, and what kind of "spirit" was guiding its decisions. Join Eric as we unwrap the surprising corporate history hidden inside three holiday classics: The Ghost of Ink and Paint (1983) Mickey's Christmas Carol was more than a cute holiday short; it was a desperate sign of life from a struggling animation studio. We explore how this small project became a proving ground for the next generation of Disney legends (Keane, Lasseter) and marked the grand return of Mickey Mouse during Ron Miller's uncertain tenure. The Ghost of Felt and Friendship (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol was the first Muppet film made without Jim Henson—and the first under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. It's a story of legacy, loss, and how Brian Henson fought to keep the heart in the story (and why a certain song was controversially cut by Jeffrey Katzenberg). The Ghost of Digital Ambition (2009) Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture version starring Jim Carrey was designed to be the ultimate A Christmas Carol. Instead, it became a cautionary tale about the high cost of innovation, the "uncanny valley," and why Disney's $200 million experiment (ImageMovers Digital) shuttered just two years later. These films are a timeline of Disney's struggles, expansions, and triumphs. Watch now to discover the surprising synergy of art, commerce, and Christmas spirit!

What if the fastest way to grow your business isn't marketing harder, but speaking smarter? In this episode, Dr. Danny Brassell shares how to make storytelling and public speaking your most powerful tools for attracting clients, building authority, and confidently closing deals. Known as the "Jim Carrey with a Ph.D.," Danny has spoken to over 3,500 audiences worldwide and co-founded The WellCrafted Story Workshop™, where he teaches entrepreneurs how to transform their stories into client-generating presentations. The Power Of Clarity And Connection If you've ever struggled to explain what you do–or why it matters–Danny says you're not alone. In fact, 95% of speakers can't answer two simple questions: Who is your audience? And what problem do you solve for them? His Five C's framework shows you how to fix that. As Danny puts it, "Choices confuse and cause you to lose." When you focus your message on one problem and one solution, you'll instantly become more memorable–and more effective. Turning Stories Into Sales If you want to grow your business faster, start telling better stories. Danny explains that authentic storytelling—especially around your failures—is what builds connection and trust with your audience. Those real moments are what turn listeners into clients. Use your own experiences to teach, inspire, and move people to act. Whether you're speaking on stage or recording a short video, every story should lead your audience toward clarity, confidence, and conversion. Enjoy this episode with Danny Brassell… Soundbytes 11:04 - 11:09 "I believe speaking is the fastest way to grow your business, and there's simple strategies that I share with people." 14:00 - 14:17 "If you can answer these questions succinctly, you'll be in pretty good shape. But it's amazing, 95% of the people I work with cannot answer one or both of these questions. The first question is, who is your audience? The second question is, what is the problem that you solve for them?" Quotes "What there is is priority management." "The way you get better is through practice."

Pastor and bestselling author Mark Batterson joins Bob to unpack one of the most misunderstood principles of growth: the way breakthroughs actually happen—gradually, then suddenly. From Warren Buffett's compounding to Jim Carrey's famed $10M check, to the long arc of ministry, writing, generosity, and family life, this conversation is a hopeful reset for anyone who feels "behind." In This Episode Why most "overnight success" stories take decades What 95-year-olds say they would do differently (and how it should change our lives today) The "25-year time machine" mindset that makes ordinary moments priceless Why young adults often underestimate what God can do in 10–20 years How Mark pastors a church with seven properties and zero debt — and the long-term mindset behind it Turning your church "inside out": how NCC generates $2M/year through marketplace engagement The hidden power of giving goals (and the difference between getting vs. giving goals) The surprising truth about Buffett's wealth: it's not returns… it's time Mark's take on grand gestures, faith steps, and why God honors long obedience Bob's story of writing a 5-year giving goal that seemed impossible—and what God did What to do when your dream is taking way longer than you thought Key Quotes "You'll overestimate what you can do in two years and underestimate what God can do in ten." —Mark Batterson "Faith is taking the first step before God reveals the second." —Mark Batterson "The greatest risk is taking no risks." —Mark Batterson "We decided to do a ten-year book launch.

Sarah and Raf are back, and they've got some questions: Who's really the king of the rumba beat? Can Sarah buy the set of the Coco Bongo, or at least the stairs? Is anyone going to take Milo outside?!?In case you haven't guessed, this episode is all about the fun, silly, and occasionally thrilling Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz film "The Mask." Set in the grimy yet gorgeous Edge City, a city where methane emissions make for beautiful sunsets and a S.W.A.T standoff can turn into a musical number, this 1994 film is an “action/gangster/secret musical/romantic comedy” according to Raf and “very Busby Berkeley meets Gotham City” according to Sarah. It features Jim Carrey as the meek Stanley Ipkiss...until he turns into the wildly mugging Mask. It also introduces Cameron Diaz in a stunning, star-making role as Tina. And we can't forget Milo, Stanley's Jack Russell terrier who is truly the best boy.Grab your favorite nautical print pajamas and get ready to revisit the movie that, according to its own VHS cover, was "Fantastic fun!" -- and in this case, the marketing isn't wrong. (Also, please note that the hosts discuss the entire plot of the movie; so if you don't want it spoiled, go watch it before listening.)(TW: mention of sexual assault)

Cam and Dylan are back in the lab spreading talking about one of Jim Carrey's most underrated chaos-fests Fun with Dick and Jane! In this episode, they dive deep into the 2005 comedy where Dick (Carrey) and his wife Jane (Téa Leoni) go from suburban comfort to full-blown heist mode after losing everything thanks to a corrupt company. It's Breaking Bad meets Office Space — but with way more mugging to the camera and less meth. The guys break down the film's wild tone shifts, that early-2000s corporate satire energy, and the pure unhinged joy of watching Jim Carrey rob a bank in a ski mask while grinning like a cartoon character. Expect jokes, nostalgic takes, and a few “what would you do if Enron stole your 401(k)?” moments. By the end, you'll either be ready to rewatch the movie… or start your own Bonnie & Clyde reboot called HR & Payroll. Wanna ask us something?!?

Vivi (Vicky), character design analyst and video essayist, joins the podcast to break down how fame is built, sold, and protected. After a clear-eyed look at the “next big thing” machine around actors like Mason Thames, we examine how Hollywood favors familiar, marketable faces, how race and colorism shape visibility, how listicles and PR language disguise old hierarchies as meritocracy, and why certain careers are pre-selected long before the audience thinks it has chosen.From there, we move into fame as a system through To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, and My Hero Academia: trust scores and hero towers, idol factories and weaponized fandom, rankings and school pipelines that turn human beings into managed brands. We connect how these stories show image as currency, audiences as enforcement, and corporations as the final arbiter of who is celebrated, discarded, or sacrificed.All this, plus the content creator pipeline, sponsorship logic, scandal management, selective cancellation, and what it means to live as a product in an attention economy that never switches off. This episode is direct, detailed, and unromantic about what modern fame demands—and what it quietly costs.0:00 – IntroShow open, “I've Been Meaning To Watch That” intro, this week's topic preview. 0:26 – Meet Vivi (Vicky)Vivi introduces herself, her character design work, and how she reads visual choices and tropes. 1:21 – Episode OverviewFraming the three texts (To Be Hero X, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia) and “fame as a system.” 2:07 – Media Mania: Mason Thames & Manufactured StarsVulture article, Mason Thames' three #1 films, “ordinary” palatable whiteness, comparison to Jim Carrey, Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali, Caleb McLaughlin vs co-stars, listicles, casting patterns, race and colorism in who gets momentum.25:00 – What Is Fame As A System?Defining fame beyond Hollywood: power in a name, internet volatility, person-to-product pipeline.36:29 – Enter To Be Hero X (Context + Why It Hits)Underrated status, production, anthology structure, trust value system, Hero Tower explained.40:53 – Style, Structure, and the Hero FactoryVisual language, hero/villain PR, reality show framing, shipping, consent, system manufacturing crime and narratives.51:05 – Trust vs Fear & Who Gets ProtectedHeroes as controlled assets, commission, balance of worship and terror, parallels to scandalous but untouchable figures. 1:12:04 – Oshi no Ko: Idol Industry and Weaponized ParasocialityPilot, reincarnation hook without plot spoiling, how the show dissects exploitation, image labor, fans as enforcement.1:54:04 – My Hero Academia: Hero Rankings and Marketable MoralitySeries summary, school-as-industry pipeline, quirks as brandable assets, Class 1-A vs 1-B, children groomed into a hero economy.2:22:15 – Endgame: Systems That Eat Their OwnClosing on endings discourse, systemic rot, why To Be Hero X reads like Oshi no Ko + MHA pushed to its logical conclusion. 2:31:48 – WatchlistUpcoming watches: Chainsaw Man movie, My Hero Academia catch-up, other anime on the radar.Vicky's Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/viviwithavTikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@viviwithav2.0YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@viviwithavPodcast SocialsYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ivebeenmeaningtowatchthatp2316Twitter: https://twitter.com/BeenMeaning2PodTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenmeaning2podFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Ive-Been-Meaning-To-Watch-That-113280083760521/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenmeaning2/
In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela react to the week's strangest stories, including a little-known actor breaking Jim Carrey's box office record and the election of socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York City. The crew moves through viral headlines, quick news bits, and absurd cultural moments that feel stranger than parody. The discussion shifts to Halloween mishaps and international controversies over comics performing abroad, sparking debate about free speech, audience sensitivity, and the unpredictable line between politics and humor. Later, they dive into stories about Tom Brady cloning his dog, a UPS cargo plane crash, and the public's reaction to Dick Cheney's death. The show closes with odd headlines about New York housing policy and Paul McCartney's unexpected message to a critic, wrapping a mix of satire, current events, and dark comedy into one unpredictable episode.
