You\'re a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel. You\'re as cuddly as a cactus, you\'re as charming as an eel. You\'re a bad banana with a greasy black peel. You\'re a monster. Your heart\'s an empty hole. Your brain is full of spiders, you\'ve got garlic in your soul. I wouldn\'t touch you with a thirty-nine and a half foot pole!

Topics: The fascinating life of Dr. Suess, the surprising inspiration for the Grinch, the Chuck Jones animation connection, Jim Carrey\\u2019s over-the-top performance, the fever-dream style of Ron Howard\\u2019s film, \\u201cbig lesbian energy,\\u201d and the role of Max the dog.
