Summary

Filmmaker/journalist David Farrier (Dark Tourist, Tickled) joins the fellas to see CATS (2019) for a second time. His initial screening resulted in a drunken tweeted review that went viral, and landed Dave in trouble with the film’s NZ promoters. Dave is no friend of musicals generally; They creep him out. What’s up with the three names that cats need? We don’t know. What we do know; Taylor Swift’s dad had a BIG impact on this movie.
