A Memory and A Lot of Catnip - From The Top! Show Notes: CATS Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

...There will be hissing. =^.^=

This week in Show Notes proves difficult as our dynamic duo fights like cats... about CATS. The usually as finicky as a cat, Steven, has rose-colored glasses or had too much catnip, as he's in love...with this film. Mary... is left scarred and tattered worse than a catfight with Macavity, as if she herself were Grizabella lurking in the streets.

Notes From a Director is thinner than a whisker with a few clarifications from our duo's main coverage.
Actors Nightmare delves into some TS Eliot discussion and they really get past the cream layer and into the luscious whole milk of the film and all its hair-raising reactions.
Quick Cast, or "Quick Cats", is different this week and Mary and Steven finally come together to make some Jellicle decisions of their own.
What If? changes the ending, and takes a "conjuring turn".

20. Jellicle Cat Fight Anyone? From The Top! CATS Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Are you able to sit through this entire show without needing an adult? Or do you just try and erase this show from your... memory...? From The Top! takes on CATS.

=^.^=

Steven has poured over the TS Eliot poems, the history of the feline, and the circumstances of how this show came to be which has uncovered some Cat-tastic discoveries, and some that will make you feel like you huffed some catnip. Mary has questions, no answers, and feels like she's the one who's been abandoned in a junkyard full of lycra and a death cult.

Walk away with some knowledge to share with your other CATS-STANS or love to hate-listen at every conjuring turn. So grab a bowl of cream and some fancy feast for the trip to the Heaviside Layer cause it starts right meow. Happy Listening!
