Extended Preview for CATS!

It's finally here, you sickos!
I mean, uh... greetings, Jellicle Traxians! Erik here. As someone who enjoys watching hot garbage fling its way to the big screen, I, too, sat and watched this abomination in theaters, hoping against hope that Mike, Kevin, and Bill would treat us to a riff on another musical adaptation. I'm very glad that this day is finally here.
The film adaptation of the musical that clumped up Broadway’s litter box for eighteen years, riffed for your viewing pleasure.
It’s the movie that launched a thousand "digital butthole" jokes. You’ve probably seen some images, skimmed some memes, but nothing really prepares you for the full experience of CATS itself. It’s rare a movie can make you feel sorry for so many respected major actors, and also James Corden. Thrill as these stars of stage and screen struggle to sing through digital faces that slide out of place like Snapchat filters!
Grab the MP3 "Just the Jokes" commentary on the site here, or via the Sync App (or from the Kickstarter 2022 rewards page here — because if you backed the campaign at the $75 or $100+ levels it's already yours!), and then enjoy these first 5 minutes of CATS... if you dare!
You can also download this preview video here if you're into that sort of thing!
Back with more soon.
Yours in Jellicle Choosing,
Erik

The opening music sounds straight out of TRON. I was hoping a recognizer would drop from the sky and take out all of the cats…game over!!!

2022-09-06 01:24:36 +0000 UTCApparently, the word "Jellicle" ORIGINALLY came from a little kid mispronouncing "calico." Not that it makes sense anymore since I don't think a single one of those abominations had a calico color scheme.

2022-09-03 06:36:04 +0000 UTC"I used to be on the wire" is one hell of a riff-preview finishing move.
