About this Episode
Cats. It's coming to a theater near all of us later this month, but it's been a meme-worthy punching bag all year thanks to early trailers and the internet's never-ending hunger for things to ridicule. Sure, the new movie's CGI cast of cats looks kind of creepy. But do Matt and Tony have any skin in the game to either mock or stick up for Andrew Lloyd Webber's feline phenomenon? Nope, so here it is - the What Did We Miss? Cats episode.
The guys talk about their familiarity with big Broadway productions and memories (sorry) of Cats as this strange thing they'd see commercials for during daytime TV when they were kids. They also talk about the merits and awfulness of cats in general, which they're pretty evenly split on.
Then they dive into the music, the show's origins in T.S. Eliot poems, the performances, and the horny as hell characters in what they can't believe has been referred to as the "number one family musical of all time."
Spoiler alert: Cats is pretty fuckin' weird, folks.
