Cats
39:10
When all else fails, throw the VFX team under the bus. An exploration of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s uphill ‘Cats’ battle from the get-go. The risks of setting deadlines based on the awards season calendar. Why the once massively successful broadway production bombed in the box office. And most importantly - What IS a Jellicle Cat (spoiler: we don't have the answer).
Note: this episode was recorded prior to Covid-19 stay at home orders, and no... we do not regret that ‘Cats’ is one of the last films we saw in theaters. JOIN OUR PATREON FOR 'WWW' BONUS CONTENT!Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. |
