17. How The Grinch Stole Christmas: Post-Traumatic Growth, Displaced Anger, and Our Own Grinch Tendnacies

Rick, Kailah, & Michael Season 1

On the 17th episode of the Cinema Sessions podcast, Rick, Kailah, and Michael cut into their roast beast and dive into the debatably festive 2000 holiday film, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. They explore core themes of corrective experiences post-trauma, relationships & how they change after we’ve been through pain, toxic negativity, being outcast socially & how we respond, the pressure to look good to impress others, the need to belong, repression, and corrupt leadership & the negative repercussions that stem from it. They cast the Grinch in other films with hilarious results, and explore the various depictions of the Grinch throughout the years. Put on your Christmas lights and drink some hot cocoa as you dive into Whoville with us!

Hosted by Rick Guttersohn and Kailah Ayres-Tuttle
