Meow Meow, thrice. Welcome to Cinema Cat Part 3! This week was Ricky’s pick and he went to the MOON (Muta) with how many cats are in this film. With another Ghibli film, we watched, “The Cat Returns,” tonight. This film was delightful, wacky, feline, and beautiful. There are so many cats in this film that it puts the previous two snobs films to shame. We talk about all the hard hitting questions: What kind of cat would you be? What cat would you eat cake and tea with? Who is your favorite cat? You know, the crazy obvious questions you ask on a Cinema Cats episode. Sammy joins us and becomes the most recurring guest. Eric still hates cats, so that hasn’t changed, oh well! VOTE ON THE NAME OF RICKY'S CAT!!! (on Spotify) Enjoy this episode!

We discuss Pink Floyd album art, why this is more of a dog movie, Blake Lively comments on our Shane Reid episode, Eric talks about how much he hates cats again….its a banger of an episode guys.

Meow, meow, hissssssssssss. That’s right snobbiest, it’s CINEMA CATS TIME!! This month we are picking films with cats or are VERY loosely connected to cats. Ricky, a snob or cat lover, is very excited about this genre. Eric is less than pleased. Today we listen to Eric’s pick, directed by the great Robert Wise, director of great films like West Side Story and The Sound of Music comes “The Curse of The Cat People.” This film is a sequel to the wacky film “Cat People.” Eric admits that Cat People had more cat content and that he messed up by picking the sequel…oh well. Ricky is gone, Jared explains the deeper meaning behind one of the great films of the 40’s, Cookie Cat talks about Budweiser a lot, and Ethan shares sentimental stories. It’s a good ep people. Enjoy!

Snobbies. This is a FIRST! Today we release an episode that delves into the controversial conversation that enters Video games into the echelon of Literature, Painting, Music, and Cinema. Can video games be ART? We talk about a very beautiful and well made game called Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Ricky, Jared, and Eric discuss the medium of video games and how they can enter Art status. Also discussed are the elements that this game that we found seriously interesting; Psychosis, Motion Capture, Sound design, consultants for the game who actually have mental illnesses, script writing, cinema style video games, stigma of video games, emotional responses to games, and many many more. This episode is one of a kind and was a joy to talk about. We apologize for the audio quality in the episode, we did this from our COVID friendly homes. I hope you enjoy!
