0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the Slash Filmcast. I am David Chen and with me are,
0:24.0	Jeff Canada and joining us today, she is a staff writer at Nerdist.com. Lindsay Romain,
0:31.0	Lindsay, how are you doing today? I'm doing super well. Thank you for having me. So glad to have you on.
0:37.0	You know, Lindsay, when we were about to review once upon a time in Hollywood,
0:41.0	your name was the first one that came to mind because I feel like you have a special
0:45.0	affinity for this particular story. Do you not? I do. Yeah, it's been a long time
0:51.0	kind of just stating interest in the Mansons and Sharon Tate and everything that this movie is about. So definitely.
0:57.0	Yeah, so we're going to talk about once upon a time in Hollywood later today as our full featured review.
1:02.0	Not just foil anything, but is that what this movie is about?
1:06.0	So we're going to get to that later. Before we do that, we got some what we've been watching and we're going to go
1:13.0	over a couple of emails as well. Later during our review of once upon a time in Hollywood,
1:19.0	we are going to count down our favorite Quentin Tarantino films. So we're going to give our list of
1:25.0	Quentin Tarantino film rankings during the review. So that should be a lot of fun as well.

1:43.0	Clara wrote in to slash from cast a Gmail calm. Hey guys, big fan of the show and had to write in with a brief defense of the Cats movie.
1:51.0	Admittedly, they made the cats a weird size, but other than that, I think this trailer was actually impressive and made me interested to see the movie.
1:57.0	Unlike the three of you, I have seen the Broadway show and grew up reading T.S. Eliot poems and listening to musicals.
2:02.0	So let me point out a couple of things. One, as Jeff mentioned, cats is really a show about dancers and choreography.
2:08.0	So yes, they had to use real people and dress them like cats. That's the whole point. Two, cats is a weird AF musical.
2:14.0	And that's what's so great about it. I'm genuinely excited that this movie seems to have had the guts to lean into the weirdness.
2:20.0	Three, after shitting all over how bizarre cats is, the three of you went on to gush over Marvel movies for a good 20 minutes.
