Yeah, our podcast may be called Anime Was (Not) a Mistake, but even we couldn't resist getting our paws on an invitation to the Jellicle Ball!?!? Think of this episode as Beaststars with a pinch more of musical theater thrown into the mix. Trust us, you will never look at cats the same way again. Here as always, we have the cute and cuddly Jonathan Kwiatkowski, the Irishman who can't resist a good fillet o' fish Dan Ryan, and joining us from the Heavyside Layer/Zencastr is none other than friend of the podcast,"Grizabella Grant Farrokh." With all three of us assembled, surely one of us will be the "Jellicle Choice?" Stay tuned for plenty of "meowcentric" Broadway/Film history, a few "intropurrspective" questions, and hearing the three of us dry heave through the hairballs that may be a song or two. A new memory is waking! TOUCH MEEEEEEE IT'S SO EASY TO LEAVE ME!!!!! But....social distance too, okay?
