We're diving into the brand-new Proshot of the West End production of Next to Normal — and yes, it's a major upgrade from the original Broadway version. It deserved a Broadway run, no doubt, but this beautifully captured performance is a fantastic consolation prize.

Join us as we hop into the time machine and rewind to 1984, where we reminisce about Jim Carrey's first lead role in the quirky TV sitcom "The Duck Factory." This conversation unwraps the layers of the show, from its hopeful beginnings as a mid-season replacement to its untimely demise. Listen in as we explore the role Carrey played as Skip Tarkington, a departure from his usual zany persona, and ponder whether this straight-man act might have masked his comedic genius. We also shed light on the authenticity brought to the show by co-creator Alan Burns's animation background, and how this series, despite its brevity, still holds a special place in our hearts.

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.

PUT ON YOUR THREE DEE GLASSES KIDS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PLANET DROOL TO DEAL WITH SOME WHACKY DREAMS OR SOMETHING. Could you believe that a short 20 years ago, this could pass as a ""movie"" to be released in cinemas? You will believe that a Sharkboy could sing, and that a Lavagirl could cry. You will also believe that you wasted your parents money to sit through this weird littly movie. Yes Robert Rodriguez has made some incredible films, but this movie certainly isn't one of them. This week we're talking about the boy of Shark and Girl of Lava.

Prepare for a delightful trip down memory lane as we take a comedic deep dive into the 1984 film, Finders Keepers. This hidden gem features a young and not-yet-famous Jim Carrey, and we have the charismatic Broadway star Alex Brightman with us to share the fun. We'll unravel the scam artist plot that involves swindling, a coffin, and a pretend soldier that had us laughing out loud. We'll also chat about the striking similarities between Finders Keepers and comedic classics like Naked Gun and Airplane, and the iconic Beach Boys' song that beautifully punctuates the film's humor.
