CATSmentary
Added 2020-06-12 15:15:37 +0000 UTCIt's finally here! One of the most anticipated commentaries in show history, available now exclusively to our wonderful subscribers... it's the CATSmentary! Listen now as we marvel at the disgusting character designs, awful decisions about how to animate mice and bugs, stupid cat puns, an auditorium full of cats getting dosed with drugs, a sad magician, a cat with a mustache and more! PLUS: A delightful tale of one little boy being publicly humiliated by Old Deuteronomy!

2nd time viewing the movie, still as awful as I remembered it. Your commentary made it bearable but I think I'd rather chop my jellicle balls off vs endure a third viewing at this point. lol

2022-06-06 02:27:59 +0000 UTCThis movie would have made BILLIONS if they'd made a "Slits & Sacks edit"...

2020-07-27 19:09:39 +0000 UTCThe only way that film becomes even remotely tolerable is with your commentary. That was fun, thanks guys.

2020-06-18 02:49:57 +0000 UTCI think I accidentally found the Bad Hands Cut. Do not recommend pairing with a tall glass of water.

2020-06-17 00:52:28 +0000 UTCJust FYI I am watching an online version with Chinese subtitles overlaid on top of Korean subtitles and somehow that's still not as confusing as the actual "plot"

2020-06-15 17:29:08 +0000 UTCnice job guys!

2020-06-15 13:11:20 +0000 UTCI love how the guys are cats... lol

2020-06-15 13:11:12 +0000 UTCSo this musical is clearly an example of people looking deeply at art that is all surface. There is no metaphor here. No message. No point really. I remember reading a story from the first guy who directed it on Broadway asking Andrew Lloyd Webber if it was a satire on English Parliament at the time. Webber replied, "no, it's about cats."

2020-06-14 14:28:14 +0000 UTCI def. agree with the running commentary that people involved thought this would be a hit. They had the street cred from Les Mis, a stacked cast of distinguished stars and Jennifer Hudson belting out the showstopping song... what could go wrong? Francesca Hayward probably thought this would be a segway into acting, Taylor Swift probably thought she would get a Grammy, and James Corden... probably just saw it as another paycheck. I feel bad for Tom Hooper, who has probably gotten tons of "I will end your career" threats from high-powered agents over this movie's failure.

2020-06-14 04:25:09 +0000 UTCThanks for that. I remember watching a Cats-themed sketch way-back-when, but I always ret-conned it as a Mad TV sketch. All I remember of it was the veteran actors screaming in agony because the cat makeup burned their skin after so many years of use.

2020-06-14 00:43:45 +0000 UTCThis movie made me physically ill. But the commentary got me through it.

2020-06-13 20:21:57 +0000 UTCThe stage musical was a favorite of mine growing up. I had the VHS. And when I turned 18 my parents got me 2 tickets to the traveling show and $100 for me and a friend to go to dinner beforehand. I refuse to see the movie.

2020-06-13 15:20:56 +0000 UTCI don't know if it was the mood lighting I had in my room or the amazing dancing but I think I accidently liked this movie😂😂😂
Ciara Lee
2020-06-13 10:23:32 +0000 UTCThis might literally be the worst thing ive ever seen, and I've seen most of the troma catalogue, every MST3k movie, and all of Neil Breen's films (to name a few)
Jeff Litt
2020-06-13 07:35:44 +0000 UTCI came into this with a 6 pack and a 22 oz of imperial IPA... still not enough. Prepare accordingly. the guys are hilarious (as always), but this movie is truly an atrocity and I've seen some of the all time worst.
Jeff Litt
2020-06-13 07:26:44 +0000 UTCi'm not gonna lie this is my first viewing and i'd probably watch it with my grandma or something. but yes the visuals are nightmarish but i got used to it.

2020-06-13 05:55:03 +0000 UTCI was kinda of enjoying this until Ian McKellen showed up, then I just thought...NOOOOOO
Huemon Nottabear
2020-06-13 05:06:05 +0000 UTCNot enough spare time or booze in the world. Once Cabin said "there is an hour left"... So too, did I. Love you guys...couldn't watch the taint. I'm not even mad I rented the movie...it's just...gross...
Elliott Tipton
2020-06-13 02:28:09 +0000 UTCI LOVE YOU GUYS SOO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I own CATS and saw it in the theater. It's the most beautiful hideous painful creation of all time, and I'm obsessed. All the money, all the SPF, all the pomp, the talent...and a shitty director! Masterpiece turd, five stars!
Mkaythanks
2020-06-13 00:55:31 +0000 UTC.... I watched along. Stoned. I regret everything.
Bex Alles
2020-06-13 00:24:08 +0000 UTCStep 1. Convince my wife to spend our few hours of alone time without the kids watching Cats. Step 2. Explain why we'll be watching it with WHM commentary instead of the audio from the movie. Step 3. End up watching and listening to the commentary tonight after my wife goes to sleep. I. Am. So. Excited.

2020-06-12 22:55:56 +0000 UTCThe "Cats" SNL parody that Andrew speaks of was actually 21 (!) years ago in Jan. 1999 when James Van Der Beek hosted in promotion of "Varsity Blues". James was Rum Tum Tugger & Chris Parnell was Skimbleshanks. It was a pre-taped sketch done at the actual venue where "Cats" was performed in NYC and was done in light of their-then record 11,000 performance. It's not available online due to music rights issues, but the website Vulture did a oral history of the sketch last Dec. in anticipation of the new "Cats" being released in theaters.

2020-06-12 22:24:20 +0000 UTCI was glad to hear how confused you guys were about what Rebel Wilson is using as a microphone, because that freaked me out. It's not her tail, what the hell is it?

2020-06-12 18:11:22 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if even you guys sitting next to me will be enough to make me watch this. ;)
