Podcats Is BACK!!
After a brief (three-to-four-year) hiatus, Dan and Ej are back to talk all things Jellicle. Much has changed during this time (one of us got married! One of us had another kid! Both of us worked together on a less successful podcast!). But one thing that has not changed is our unwavering commitment to all things ALW and Cats-related. In this episode, we discuss how the 2019 film has aged, its impact on its cast and crew (spoiler: Taylor Swift is doing fine) the movie musical landscape in general, and how this silly little podcast that we started because our spouses couldn't listen to us talk about Ian McKellen lapping up milk anymore changed our lives. Also, we discuss the possibility of a....second season question mark? Email us at podcats123@gmail.com with feedback, comments, questions, and concerns. LONG LIVE THE NON-BRITISH VERSION OF MUNGOJERRY AND RUMPELTEAZER.

Will Cats Have Nine Lives? (Ft. Rachel Walker)
On the Season 1 finale of PodCats we interview Rachel Walker, a jellicle hero who saw Cats 10(!) times in theaters. Topics discussed include: jellicle cats we forgot to talk about, the b******e cut of Cats, Andrew Lloyd Webber's mischievous kitten, appropriate behavior at rowdy screenings, and whether Cats will have a new life (or 9)!

No More Milk? Milk!
In episode five of PodCats we discuss how Cats became a critical and commercial failure - and whether the critics were wrong all along. Topics discussed: Rebel Wilson's ad-libs, James Corden's hypothetical contractual demands, the straightwashing of Mr. Mistoffelees, and why the British version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer is nothing short of a major human rights violation.

Could Anne Hathaway Have Hit the Money Note in “Memory”?
While we all know the answer to this question is “no,” let’s briefly engage with it this week when we discuss the casting, costumes, set, choreography, and yes, the digital fur technology in Tom Hooper’s Cats. Topics discussed: old Argentine men, overly precise YouTube commenters, Cat School, Rihanna with fur tits.
