Alright folks, buckle up! We are genuinely SO excited for today's episode because we're talking about what might just be one of the absolute best films we'll ever cover on this show. We're diving into Clive Barker's chilling urban legend masterpiece â Candyman. You know the one: grad students poking the hornet's nest of folklore, getting in terrifyingly deep. And that performance? The late, great Tony Todd is iconic, defining a generation of horror. If you haven't seen Candyman yet... seriously, you gotta fix that.

Broadway's "The Prom" stars Caitlin Kinnunen and Isabelle Mccalla join us to unravel the chameleon-like career of Jim Carrey, sharing laughs as we reminisce on his metamorphosis from rubber-faced comedian to a thespian of depth. Today we're talking about the forgotten Coppola romantic comedy called "Peggy Sue Got Married," where Jim Carrey plays the best friend of a very campy Nicolas Cage. Our stroll down memory lane brings us face to face with the rhino scene that defined "Ace Ventura" and the sublime moments of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," interspersed with personal stories that paint a fuller picture of Carrey's unique trajectory. It's an episode punctuated with chuckles and reflections, much like the roles that have shaped Carreyâs legacy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Guess who's coming to town this holiday season? No, it's not Santa, it's Jim Carrey's iconic Grinch from the 2000 film, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" We had the pleasure of bantering with Broadway's Andrew Keenan-Bolger, who once donned green fur as JoJo and young Max in the stage rendering of this tale. We strolled down memory lane, reminiscing about our own connections with Carrey as the green grouch, and Andrew spilled the beans about a special screening, and his Grinch stint that surprisingly didn't draw from Carrey's interpretation. Spoiler Alert: The film's marketing blitzkrieg and its ripple effects on all things Grinch were quite a chat fodder. Now who can speak of the Grinch without diving into the nitty-gritty of its making? From Carrey's reluctance to play the Grinch to the Herculean efforts that turned him into the character, we've got the deets for you. We couldn't help gushing about the makeup and visual effects, clearly ahead of their time, but we did pause to discuss whether the film did justice to Dr. Seuss's original masterpiece. Opinions were split, but that's where the fun lies, right? Buckle up as we bring to you a rollercoaster of reviews, a fun game of guessing 'Letterboxd' star ratings, and a face-off between the recent Grinch remake and the original.
