Come one, come all to the Jellicle Ball! For the last episode of 2020, FANGIRL FORUM looks back at Cats (2019). Robert Meza, from In-Out-Delete Podcast, and Ernie Moreno, from Radio Toons Podcast, are here to review Tom Hooper's musical. Is this the next cult classic to join the ranks of The Room & Rocky Horror Picture Show? We certainly think so! Come for Ernie's reaction to his first time watching Cats; stay for hearing us classify fictional cats as "jellicle" or not. Is Mufasa a Jellicle, or is he the genesis of the Jellicle Cat? A purr-fect podcast to close out the year of 2020. Listen now!

Greetings and salutations to my fellow fangirls & fanboys. Of the many films to be delayed due to the current calamity of the pandemic, one whose absence is felt most profoundly is The French Dispatch, Wes Anderson's tenth film. Due to this tragedy, my friend, Emily Dominguez, returns to the FANGIRL FORUM to revel & discuss all things Wes Anderson. Find out how we rank his filmography thus far and listen to our pitches for Wes Anderson's next film. Plus, in the wake of Disney releasing Mulan on Disney+ for $30, how much are we willing to spend to watch The French Dispatch? I guess you'll have to listen to find out. Join the FANGIRL FORUM on this wonderful, whimsical journey through the Wes Anderson cinematic universe.

Just when I thought the pandemic took out this podcast, Taylor Swift drops a new album and brings the FANGIRL FORUM out of its coronavirus slumber! My friend, Jasmine Carr, is back to review & break down Taylor Swift's eighth album, folklore. Plus, we rank all of Taylor's albums so far. Where does folklore rank? Which albums top our lists? There's only one way to find out. Wrap yourself up in your favorite cardigan and let's get back to doing what we do best: fangirling!

At FANGIRL FORUM, Black lives matter and so does mental health. Therapy for Black Girls is a space that was developed to present mental health topics in a way that feels more accessible and relevant when so often the stigma surrounding mental health issues and therapy prevents Black women from taking the step of seeing a therapist. Please check out https://therapyforblackgirls.com/ how you can help support the work they encourage mental wellness to Black women & girls.

**Disclaimer: Throughout the episode, Taylor Swift's collaborator on folklore, The National's Aaron Dessner, is mentioned a few times. Unfortunately after recording, I realized I said Dressner instead of Dessner. This was a mistake. I mean no disrespect to Aaron Dessner. I think he and The National are amazing. Seriously, their album is High Violet is a work of art.

Greetings fellow fans! The FANGIRL FORUM is going into some unexpected waters: we're diving into the world of music, specifically the music of one international superstar Taylor Swift. One of my best friends who is a Swiftie, Jasmine Carr, and I take you along on our journeys with Taylor Swift. We go album by album (from Taylor Swift to Lover), sharing our favorite tracks & memories, debating song choices, and learning a few things along the way. If you've fallen off the Taylor bandwagon, been a diehard Swiftie since the beginning, or fall somewhere between, this episode is for you. Listen now!
