Podcasts about old possum's book

Andrea and Megan shake off the catnip and discuss dame demeaning moments, scale insanity, and all the audacity in a particularly strange CATS MOVIESODE.

In which our reading of Old Possum comes to an end. Sorry if you didn't like it. I thought more people would like it as much as I do, but apparently, that's just not true, and I'm a weirdo outlier.

In which our hero walks funny CAUSE OF THE STICK UP HIS BUTT.

In which our hero lives his best life

In which our hero reminisces

In which our hero doesn't put in an appearance

In which our hero tries to fool Penn and Teller. Does he succeed? Find out after this commercial break!

In which our heroes have it out, once and for all... ish. The full title of this poem, which didn't fit in the Title Space, is: Of the Awefull Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles, Together with some Account of the Participation of the Pugs and the Poms, and the Intervention of the Great Rumpus Cat

In which our hero gets everything his own way cause he's old and complains if he doesn't.

National Poetry Month continues!

Here's a fun fact for everyone: T.S. Eliot had a cat of his own that the family always called a Dear Little Cat. His daughter had a little bit of a speech impediment, so when she tried to say "Dear Little Cat," it came out as "Jeel licle cat," or, "Jellicle Cat," as we know it today. So, that's where the word "Jellicle" comes from. You're welcome.

In which our hero used to be indecisive, but now he's not so sure.

In which our hero gets his just desserts.

National Poetry Month continues!

In which we take the eldritch horror and unknowable dread of the CATS movie and bring it back to its roots, and make it palatable for all ages again.

Sales and Crabb watch the movie Cats and are more entertained by each other’s reactions than by the film itself. The only achievement of the film was to quench Sales’ desire for Idris Elba, now replaced by Adam Driver.Cats (2019) directed by Tom Hooper, starring Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Idris Elba (see official trailer)Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JULIA!! Eva went a little bonkers this morning and turned on her Masterpiece Theater voice to do a dramatic reading of the poem, "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" by T.S. Elliot from the book Julia gave her for Christmas, "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats". We hope you enjoy this cat-infused insanity! We'll be back on Thursday with a new full epsidoe! 

The Immortals are on to something. Nope, still not the ominous messages from Intern, not the government conspiracy to cover up aliens, and not even Sarah's thing about people stopping her from eating the food. It's that the people in Faces may not be having a good time. It's worth looking into. They discuss this plus Tom Wait's voice, the voice of Richard Hell, we'll listen to the voice of T.S. Eliot and…the truth that is out there. Get excited.    Intro 0:00 – 2:50 Faces 2:50 – 27:28 Heartattack and Vine 27:28 – 39:26 Razor Clam 39:26 – 40:04 Blank Generation 40:04 – 47:45 Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats 47:45 – 59:07 The X-Files 59:07 – 1:32:23 Outro 1:32:23 – 1:39:47     --Leave your own henge ratings at TheArtImmortal.com --Be sure you leave an iTunes review so Pedro can give you a compliment on air.   Email Twitter iTunes YouTube   Join us Thursday next as we discuss more things.

You may not be familiar with the name Edward Gorey, but the work of this 20th century artist and author is legendary.  Gorey lived in New York City in the 1950’s and 1960s where he illustrated works like Dracula by Bram Stoker, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. That book was later turned into the Broadway Musical “Cats,” one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history.  Gorey was also well-known for his animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery!  He also won a Tony Award for his designs in the Broadway production of Dracula.  Later, Gorey retired as a “reluctant recluse,” according to Fordham Professor Travis Russ.  He is the founding member of “The Life Jacket Theatre Company,” which is bringing Gorey’s legendary life to the stage. Fordham Conversations Host Robin Shannon sits down with Writer/Director Travis Russ and actor Andrew Dawson, who plays one version of the endearing artist in “Gorey: The Secret Lives of Edward Gorey.”  

If you can't tell from the squeals of delight, Emily is super excited to finally focus an entire episode on her love for cats! Since we did an episode raising our glasses to dogs last year, we found it only appropriate to give our feline friends some equal love and attention (even if they don't appreciate it). This episode's wine: Casillero del Diablo 2012 Pinot Grigio, Chile This episode's cheese: Roasted Garlic with Tomato & Basil cheese Visit our website, classylittlepodcast.com for more info! Clearly, this is all about the musical, "Cats." No, not really, but we do talk about Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical based on T. S. Eliot's book, "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." Emily's cats tend to distract us for this episode ... although, they distract us from most other episodes, but we didn't edit it out this week. Lots of "dawwws" and sighs over cats throughout this episode. We call dogs "whorish" a few times in this episode just because cats are so particular about who they show affection to. James tells us about the numerous historical figures who love cats, almost as much as Emily does. And, be prepared for Emily to go crazy-cat-lady with the puns in this episode. Some of those mentioned are Albert Einstein, John Lennon, Sir Isaac Newton and Freddie Mercury! No Google search would be complete without finding some cats on the Internet, including Bonsai Kittens, the Kitty Cat Dance, Simon's Cat, Nyan Cat, the eHarmony Cat Lady (and the Songify remix video), Grumpy Cat, and more! Why are cats so popular on the internet? We find a few theories about this phenomenon.  James talks about heroic cats who have made the news, and how they've captured our hearts. Emily drops her mic following her diatribe about the idiocy of Timmy getting stuck in the well all the time. We also find out people can volunteer their time playing with cats at local shelters! And, we implore Christian Bale to come on our podcast, yet again! Want to watch some heroic cats? Watch the videos in our show notes! We discuss some fun facts about cats, including why cats are known for getting stuck up trees and why you should stop scaring your cats with cucumbers. And, Emily has a new cat-related obsession: Putting YouTube Videos on that are specifically for cats. We finally found a way to keep cats' attention!
