Cats is a 2019 film adaptation of the stage musical of the same name by
Andrew Lloyd Webber, the infamous rootbeerm'n. The musical itself is based upon a 1939 collection of poetry by
T.S. Eliot called
Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats. The film version was directed by
Tom Hooper (His second musical feature following a controversial adaptation of
Les Misérables) and featured an ensemble cast of
Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Ian McKellen, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, and more. The film was universally reviled by critics upon its release, with specific critique directed at the abberant CGI work, and became a box office bomb, unable to recoup its $100 million budget.
On this episode of
Hell Is A Musical,
Lilz and
Scott witness the unbridled horror that is
Cats, with
Jon Reilly of the
Life's But A Song podcast along for the journey. Join them through a twisted journey through the depths of human depravity and insanity. A journey filled with death cults, feline-human hybrid orgies,
Taylor Swift and
Jason DeRulo not doing much of anything, fictional butthole cuts, and Lilz' bottomless disdain for James Corden doing fat guy schtick.
...with Lilz and Scott!
