'Cats' is Pure Chaos & so is This Conversation

S1 E32 · Adaptation: Book to Movie
Avatar
65 Plays1 month ago

Chris and Nate are joined by returning guest Blair, as well as our good friend Ariel, to discuss the 2019 travesty of a film, Tom Hooper's 'Cats' -- famously based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage show, which is less well known for its original source material, a series of poems by T. S. Elliot.

Listen at your own risk - this brought out the goofiest of all of us! - to hear conversation about the movie's supposed plot, a smash or pass game, and many, many laughs.

UP NEXT: 'The Devil Wears Prada' by Lauren Weisberger & its film adaptation directed by David Frankel

But Jennifer Hudson's song is about, I used to have this great life.
00:30:39
Chris
But Jennifer Hudson's cat.
00:30:43
Nate Day
She was so And now I'm haunted by these memories.
00:30:43
Chris
She was so happy. And now I'm haunted by these neighbors.
00:30:45
Nate Day
It kind of sounds like but someone who lives in their prime and then they've grown old and haven't lived up to what they thought they were going to live up to.
00:30:45
Chris
It kind of sounds like someone who lives in their prime and then they've grown old and haven't lived up to what they thought they were going to live up And now they're just living in their past life.
00:30:52
Nate Day
yeah And now they're just reminiscing on their past life, which is why I think.
00:30:55
Chris
Which is why I think maybe don't kill her, but she dies willingly at the end.
00:30:57
Nate Day
Maybe they don't kill her, but she dies willingly at the end. Oh, yeah.
00:31:04
Nate Day
I think it's an elective yes suicide.
00:31:04
Chris

00:31:06
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:07
Nate Day
Yeah, yeah, yeah. yes Yeah.
00:31:09

00:31:11
Chris
What else?
00:31:11
Nate Day
They put her in a hot air balloon and send her into...
00:31:11
Chris
They put her in an on-air line and send her in cats.
00:31:13
Nate Day
thats not lives That was her tenth.
00:31:13
Chris

00:31:16
Nate Day
if Yeah.
00:31:19
Nate Day
Jennifer Hudson's cat for sure died.
00:31:19
Chris
Here's my ten reason why.
00:31:21
Chris
Jennifer Hudson, cat, for sure died.
00:31:23
Nate Day
yeah no They put her in hot air balloon and they sent her off.
00:31:23
Chris
Yeah, no, she put her in an on-air line. Not at all canonical.
00:31:27
Nate Day
So then what do you think happened there?
00:31:27
Chris
What do you think happened there?
00:31:30
Nate Day
I think it's not in the books that have been happened.
00:31:30
Chris
I think it's not in the book, so it didn't happen.
00:31:33
Nate Day
You just watched the movie.
00:31:33
Chris
You just watched the movie.
00:31:34
Nate Day
They're two separate pieces of art.
00:31:34
Chris
They're two separate pieces of art.
00:31:35
Nate Day
Well, wait, book or poems?
00:31:35
Chris
Well, wait, both are homes.
00:31:37
Nate Day
There was no poems about her dying?
00:31:37
Chris
There's no home for her dying? Is her poem just a depressing...
00:31:39
Nate Day
It's her poem. So then what happens with her poems?
00:31:42
Chris
So the poems are 15 isolated stories.
00:31:42
Nate Day
So the poems are in isolated stories.
00:31:46
Chris
Jennifer Hudson's cat poem.
00:31:46
Nate Day
Jennifer Hudson's cat poem. What was your last name?
00:31:48

00:31:52

00:31:58
Nate Day
She's not even in.
00:31:58
Chris
she's not even in sorry
00:31:59
Nate Day
Sorry.
00:32:00
Chris
so wait hold on
00:32:00
Nate Day
Shut up. Hold on.
00:32:03
Chris
Hold on. They really... Rizabella!
00:32:04
Nate Day
Hold on. It wouldn't surprise me that she's not in it because that song is so extremely famous.
00:32:05
Chris
It wouldn't surprise me she's not in that because that song is so extremely famous.
00:32:09
Nate Day
Like, it had to have been created for the show.
00:32:10
Chris
Like, it had to have been created for more of that show. Yeah, it's separate show.
00:32:13
Nate Day
We're talking about the song Memory, one of the most famous songs in...
00:32:13
Chris
We're talking about the song Memory, one of the most famous songs in certainly the American theater song books, but potentially the American theater.
00:32:17
Nate Day
Certainly the American theater song votes, but potentially the American song. That was a beautiful song performance.
00:32:22
Chris
That was a beautiful song her performance.
00:32:25
Nate Day
Her performance? Yeah.
00:32:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:26
Nate Day
Oh yeah, fantastic. yeah they've They filmed the movie live, just like Les Mis.
00:32:30
Chris
They filmed the movie live, just like Les Mis.
00:32:34
Nate Day
So all of the st singing, instead of a normal movie musical, they record the vocals and then they lip sync basically on camera to the songs.
00:32:34
Chris
So all of this thing. Instead of a normal movie musical, they record the vocals and they lip sync basically on get through the camera.
00:32:43
Nate Day
This one was all live, just like Les Mis.
00:32:44
Chris
This one was all live, just like Les Mis.
00:32:46
Nate Day
And the idea was they can give the actors more a leeway to like actually perform the song.
00:32:46
Chris
And the idea was they can give the actors more leeway to like actually perform a song.
00:32:53
Nate Day
Unfortunately, I think the drawback is that sometimes they end up like sobbing and snotting their way through.
00:32:53
Chris
Unfortunately, I think the drawback is that sometimes they end up like sobbing and snotting their way through. She was very snotty.
00:32:59
Nate Day
She was very snotty.
00:33:00
Nate Day
Well, and just like every time that she like quivered vocally, it helps obviously with the performance.
00:33:00
Chris
The drawback is.
00:33:01
Chris
Just like every time that she like, quivered vocally. It helps obviously with the performance.
00:33:07
Nate Day
Yeah.
00:33:07
Chris
yeah But it makes, because this movie is all song, it sort of makes it hard to listen to.
00:33:07
Nate Day
But it makes because this movie is all song, it sort of makes it hard to listen to. like that's That's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
00:33:12
Chris
Like that's that's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
00:33:16
Nate Day
And it it makes it sort
00:33:16
Chris
And it it makes it

Performance Realism and Star Contributions

00:33:18
Nate Day
of hard to listen to.
00:33:18
Chris
sort of hard to listen to.
00:33:19
Nate Day
I think if somebody's like choking and snorting and
00:33:19
Chris
I think if somebody's like choking and snorting and huffing their way through it a little bit, right?
00:33:23
Nate Day
huffing their way through it a little bit. Right.
00:33:26
Nate Day
Yes. I still, yeah.
00:33:26
Chris
Yes.
00:33:26
Chris
hate offing there, but yes.
00:33:28
Nate Day
I still think she did a beautiful job.
00:33:28
Chris
I saw what she did a beautiful job.
00:33:29
Nate Day
Yeah.
00:33:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:30
Nate Day
And it's much better.
00:33:30
Chris
And it's much better.
00:33:31
Nate Day
I mean, if you watch Les Mis, for example, there's a very similar structure where Anne Hathaway has but ah ah an extremely famous song in Les Mis called I Dreamed a Dream, which is another one that I bet you would recognize and be like, this is from Les Mis.
00:33:31
Chris
i mean, if you watch Les Mis, for example, there's a very similar structure where Anne Hathaway has but ah an extremely famous song in Les Mis called I Dreamed a Dream, which is another one that you would recognize and be like, this strong like is Les Mis.
00:33:46
Nate Day
And she, ah she like sobs through the song.
00:33:46
Chris
And she ah she like sobs through the song.
00:33:49
Nate Day
And it's sort of unfortunate in my opinion that them it's just not very fun to listen to because
00:33:49
Chris
And it's sort of unfortunate, in my opinion, that them it's just not very fun to listen to because...
00:33:57
Nate Day
she' She's not sounding great.
00:33:57
Chris
she's not sounding great.
00:33:59
Nate Day
but just so
00:33:59
Chris
But is the goal for it to be fun?
00:34:01
Nate Day
Well, I think because it because it's a sung through musical and it's just like, this is song for the next two hours, yeah that like,
00:34:01
Chris
Well, I think because because it's a song-through musical and it's just like, this is song for the next two hours, then like, there needs to be a sort of repeatable quality.
00:34:12
Nate Day
there needs to be a sort of repeatable quality to it.
00:34:16
Chris
to And it's not, I don't want to go back and listen to Ann Hathaway's version because there's other versions where they like belt it out.
00:34:16
Nate Day
And it's not, I don't want to go back and listen to Anne Hathaway's version because there's other versions where they like belt it out instead of choke on it.
00:34:24
Chris
instead of chocotters. prepared Right, yeah.
00:34:27
Nate Day
Right. Yeah.
00:34:28
Nate Day
I'm just like, i don't necessarily think it's bad. I think it sort of just depends.
00:34:28
Chris
I'm just saying, like, i don't necessarily think it's bad.
00:34:30
Chris
I think it sort of just depends, like, I guess what you're well you're interested in.
00:34:32
Nate Day
Like, I guess what you're, what you're interested in. Yeah. I think your question is a good one because it's like, how, how are you watching the movie cast?
00:34:36
Chris
yeahp I think your question's a good one, because it's like, how how are you watching the movie? right
00:34:42
Nate Day
Are you watching the emotional rollercoaster that is gasped?
00:34:42
Chris
Are you watching the movie?
00:34:45
Nate Day
Because then you'll love the live performance.
00:34:48
Chris
But if you're like, could we get to a good song, please?
00:34:48
Nate Day
But if you're like, could we get to a good song, please? Then you're probably not going to love a world-class vocalist choking through world-class song.
00:34:53
Chris
Then you're probably not gonna love a world-class vocalist choking through world-class song.
00:34:59
Nate Day
So going back to her snot,
00:34:59
Chris
So, going back to her snot. Well, right.
00:35:04
Nate Day
Right.
00:35:05
Chris
Her snot was like very important.
00:35:07
Nate Day
No, because there are sick cats that have a lot of snot coming out of their nose, right?
00:35:07
Chris
No, because there are sick cats that have a lot of snot coming out their nose, right?
00:35:13
Nate Day
And I thought that was just a part of her homeless, sick cat.
00:35:13
Chris
And I thought that was just a part of her homeless, sick cat.
00:35:18
Nate Day
Double lamby.
00:35:19
Chris
Yeah. So I had a snot.
00:35:20
Nate Day
So I thought the snot was like, oh, she's sick.
00:35:22
Chris
was like, oh, she's sick.
00:35:23
Nate Day
She's not go to live very long.
00:35:23
Chris
She's not going to live very long.
00:35:24
Nate Day
Because usually when cats have...
00:35:24
Chris
Because usually when cats are homeless and they're very sick and they have a lot of snot and she's old as she was and she was wangy.
00:35:26
Nate Day
are homeless and they're very sick and they have a lot of snot yeah and she's as old as she was and she was mangy. yeah I was like, oh
00:35:32
Chris
I was like, that's good.
00:35:34
Nate Day
She's not a lawyer. She's a donor.
00:35:35
Chris
Yeah, that's a donor.
00:35:36
Nate Day
Simple as that.
00:35:36
Chris
It blows up. Exactly. Get her out of here.
00:35:38
Nate Day
Get her out of here. Yeah, so I thought we're bookend
00:35:40
Chris
Yeah. It's better to shovel up, Becky. Or in a bag. I figured probably. Okay. Okay.
00:35:47
Nate Day
I figured my my assumption was that it's just like she's just crying and sometimes when you like open up the sinuses.
00:35:47
Chris
I figured my assumption is that it's like she's just crying. And sometimes I really like open up the senses.
00:35:53
Nate Day
But there was so much snot drug movie that can't.
00:35:53
Chris
But there was so much not good movie. It was an inordinate point.
00:35:57
Nate Day
was an in-order.
00:35:58
Chris
I just thought, I think of her.
00:35:59
Nate Day
And her. I only from her. So I was like, oh, this is a sick cat.
00:36:02
Chris
I was like, oh, is a sick cat.
00:36:04
Nate Day
Yeah, that's a great point.
00:36:04
Chris
but that's And that's all, is that not also why they let it be part of the final edit?
00:36:05
Nate Day
Is that not also why we let it be part of the final edit? Yeah, I mean, it's also Oscar.
00:36:09
Chris
Is because yeah we off you said that
00:36:11
Nate Day

Chris
Yeah, she finally made a good point. Well, his whole air is like, he's like spoiled, kind of.
00:55:53
Nate Day
His whole is like, he's like spoiled kind of. But what kind of worked to me is I almost brought this up earlier when he wasn't the right time, was that he was, he was kind of pompous.
00:55:58

00:56:20
Chris
it was Rachel McAdams.
00:56:21
Nate Day
Maybe that's why they don't like Jennifer Hudson is because she has the only real claim to being killed.
00:56:21
