    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.

    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.

    The Making of Cats is a Difficult Matter
