This week on Down to Watch, our hearts grow two sizes in one episode! Dan and Raul watched the 2000 live action remake of How the Grinch Stole Christmas starring Jim Carrey to get into the holiday spirit, Who-style.

Dan and Raul braved the winter wilds of 80s airports and depots to follow fast frenemies Del and Neal played by John Candy and Steve Martin respectively in this classic story about a trip home for Thanksgiving. The two travelers are seemingly as mismatched as their trip is fraught with implausible calamity, but they make an incredible duo on screen and might actually be just what each of these Chicago

Down To Watch ·

2025/11/06

The It that It is all about is back and DtW is feeling quite Welcome to Derry! Dan and Raul went into It with some expectations and so far It has delivered both scares and gross-outs, often together. The town of Derry is tortured by an active Pennywise the Dancing Clown every 27 years with this series investigating each occasion going backwards in time per season, and this season lands perfectly in line with 60s era discrimination. Two families in the idyllic Maine hamlet will deal with what it

This week on Down to Watch, it's a dangerous business being a truthstorian! Dan and Raul caught a couple eps of The Lowdown, Hulu's new drama from the creator of Mare of Easttown. The cool new series follows Ethan Hawke as an indie reporter getting the dirt on the powerful people in town. He's great at lots of things, like being a dad, getting the scoop, and receiving a whooping. But how many punches to the face make a great reporter in this promising new tale based loosely on a true
