Cats (w/ Joe Lipsett)

We are tipping over the trashcan this week on Kill By Kill as we descend into the allegorical, the phantasmagorical, and the uncanniest valley-cal as we desperately try to make any kind of sense out of the truly terrifying CATS. Yes, that CATS! You asked for it. You demanded it! Now, we all have to suffer for it as we explore the madness of constant ear-twitching, the terror of unzipping your own skin as a costume change, and the unnerving intensity of Dame Judy Dench’s unflinching stare as she informs everyone within her telekinetic gaze that “a cat is not a dog.” Don’t worry though, you’ll learn EVERYTHING ELSE about what a cat is, from pure anarchy to needlessly oversexed, we break it all down just as we ourselves begin to break down. Who is “Cat-sona non grata?” Are we seeing too much dick or not nearly enough? Why are all the cats so concerned about class when NONE OF THEM HAVE MONEY?! From death cults to raging incels, CATS has it all and needs to give 80 to 125% of it back! Make no mistake, this podcast is now divided into two distinct eras: pre-CATS and post-CATS. Also, Returning Champion Joe Lipsett said yes to watching and talking about this film. He's way too nice. He could have said no, and yet he spent time doing this! You’re welcome!
