Merry Christmas to all! Our gift to you this year is nearly a full hour of shit-talking on CATS.

But even still, if you're asking yourself the question, "Is CATS good?" then you're asking yourself the wrong question.

CATS is in a league of its own. Matt and Andrew finally dedicate the whole episode to our dear litter of Jellicle cats in all their furry, existential, and oddly sexual glory. CATS is probably as terrible as you've heard, yet the strong public discourse with this one doesn't prevent our hosts from debating the best songs, the worst CGI, and the most bizarre feature about the movie that outdoes itself with every frame.

STEP AND REPEAT is a movie and awards season podcast where your co-hosts Andrew and Matt cover the big news in the movie world and share their reviews of new releases.

Matt and Andrew contradict themselves a lot in this episode decided to the Fox News sexual harassment dramedy BOMBSHELL. On one occasion, Matt says Nicole Kidman is the best actress in the movie and that she was also miscast. And Andrew declares "Gretchen should have been the main character" and then screams "Kayla should have been the main character" a good 10 minutes later.

In our defense, BOMBSHELL is a tough nut to crack. There's no film really like it out there now (for better or for worse). And we admit this is a tough one. So tune in to find out what makes this one stand out from the crowd.

Matt and Andrew go to war over their early reviews of 1917, the new World War I epic from Sam Mendes ("Skyfall", "American Beauty").

1917 is filmed to look like it's all one shot, but is it a gimmick? And what does it mean to be a main character, especially in a movie with few characters? Which actor has had the best career post-Game of Thrones? Also, ever wonder what the hell cinematography means anyway? Find out in this early release episode!

1917 comes out in limited release on December 25th and expands nationwide on January 10th. We're splitting our episode again into spoiler-free and spoiler-filled sections. (See timestamps below.)

Andrew and Matt are joined by Carly (@realcarlydudek) for a supersize episode to investigate whodunit in this week's episode dedicated to KNIVES OUT, the new murder mystery movie from Rian Johnson ("Star Wars: The Last Jedi", "Looper"). Have no fear! The episode is split into spoiler-free and spoiler-filled segments, so tune in for however long you feel comfortable!

The team responds to our first listener email(!) and debates the impact of the Oscars' preferential ballot system (Vox explainer).

Then we sharpen our knives and fight to the death over the quality of KNIVES OUT. Important topics of this episode include, but are not limited to: class warfare and immigration, all-star ensembles, and Chris Evans' holey sweater. 

Meanwhile, Matt clears the air about manatees. And we talk some more again about Lakeith Stanfield, because why not? And Carly gets to pick our category this week for Oscar Revisionist History! Finally, find out why Andrew and Matt quit the podcast.

Episode 10 of STEP AND REPEAT, in which Scorsese and THE IRISHMAN take on de-aging, Marvel, and a 209-minute runtime. Matt and Andrew dive in deep into Marty's three-and-a-half-hour epic reteaming of Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci with first-time collaborator(!) Al Pacino. 

Is this movie better served in theaters or on Netflix? Is the de-aging weird to watch or is it perfect? And most importantly, does Anna Paquin speak more or fewer than ten words in this film? These questions and more answered on this week's episode!
