Episode 112 - Max the Cat 39:11

6+ y ago39:11

39:11

Some animal stories go viral. Others don’t. Some animal stories promote commentary on digital culture, intellectual property and copyright. And all of this is just because a cat named Max wanted to visit a library. Max is nice. But he’s not welcome in the library. The library that is full of paper, books, shelves and comfortable seating. Poor Max. …

Cats are gaining power all over the world, but especially in Asian countries. Several cats are particularly well-positioned to gain control of a few federal governments.

30:20

Do you think your cats are driving you crazy? Are you suspicious of houses that are overcrowded with people causing traffic accidents? If so, Dr. Tim thinks you should stay out of your yard.

Episode 108 - Cat's Eye 1:23:32

7y ago1:23:32

1:23:32

A big dog, a dark ride in the back of a truck, fast-moving traffic (both pedestrian and automotive), abductions by "greasy" people, ending up behind bars, and an epic battle with a troll. All this and more is what makes Cat's Eye, the 1985 horror anthology film featuring stories by Stephen King, the most terrifying movie for a cat ever made. It's g…

Episode 107 - Cats Don't Dance 1:05:18

7y ago1:05:18

1:05:18

In this episode, we discuss an animated movie titled “Cats Don’t Dance” in which cats definitely do dance. In fact, the lead character is a cat who, along with his musically talented multi-species friends, dances up a toe-tapping storm. And if that weren’t confusing enough, a fish is best friends with a goat, a child star doesn’t appear to have any…

Episode 106 - Palme de Whiskers 33:09

7y ago33:09

33:09

“Bienvenue à la cérémonie annuelle des moustaches de Palme.” This is how Google translate imagines the feline guests would be welcomed to the Palme de Whiskers ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival. But whether the French translation is accurate or not doesn’t matter since the Palme de Whiskers and all the pomp and purrs surrounding it are a complet…

Episode 105 - Kitty 42:05

7y ago42:05

42:05

The shortest movie we have ever discussed turns out to be the hardest movie to ever find. Listen closely for the instructions so that you can find it, too. There’s a website, an internal search bar, an embedded video at the bottom of a page. But it’s worth it if you’d like to see a whisper of a film about a girl who becomes a cat. The short film, “…

Episode 104 - A Street Cat Named Bob 38:42

7y ago38:42

38:42

Here at Meowster Podcast, we just saw a film performance by the best actor cat working today. And he’s not even an actor cat. In fact, he’s not trained in any of the performing arts at all. We watched “A Street Cat Named Bob” and we think you should, too.

Episode 103 - Oliver & Company 1:05:02

7y ago1:05:02

1:05:02

The kitten in Oliver and Company has probably inspired the naming of more cats than any other feline in popular culture. So what is this kitten all about? What makes him and this film so special? Is it the 80s pop music? Oliver’s adorable naiveté? Or is it the telling of one of the most confusing plots Meowster Podcast has ever encountered.…

Episode 102 - Feral Love 48:07

7y ago48:07

48:07

Here's a joke for you: Q: What's the difference between a feral cat and a viola? A: Everything! Now, if you come up with a better punchline, let us know. Unfortunately, we don't have a better punchline because the documentary "Feral Love," doesn't ever truly draw a connection - either through similarities or differences - between its two main topic…

Episode 101- Cats and Divorce 49:21

7y ago49:21

49:21

Little furry scapegoats. That’s what cats are when they’re blamed for divorces. Little furry non-human vertebrates. That’s what cats are when they’re fought over in custody cases. In this episode, we were surprised to discover just how closely cats are linked to the history of American divorces and property law. But, for better or for worse, we’re …

Episode 96 - Meow Madness 1:01:07

7+ y ago1:01:07

1:01:07

What is the future of kitten sports? Over at the Hallmark Channel they decided it was basketball. And the recent Meow Madness impressed us with some athletic (and some very sleepy) kittens throwing, passing and even dribbling in ways we never thought imaginable. So, now what is the future of kitten sports? Stay tuned through our post-game wrap up t…

Where is the best place for kittens to live? If you answered, a doll house in Iceland, you’d be right. You’ve probably also seen Keeping Up with the Kattarshians.

7+ y ago34:58

34:58

A recent controversy surrounded the presence of cats at the famed Westminster Dog Show. People wondered if the cats and dogs would fight like cats and dogs. Pedigree dog enthusiasts were quoted as saying such things as, “dog competitions are very serious. Cats are fine, I guess, if you're into that kind of thing." And at Meowster Podcast we say, ye…

1:02:01

For the fourth year in a row, we’ve found our way back to the kitten gridiron. This year’s Kitten Bowl was the best ever. The catletes, the field of play, the commentary, the puns! Kitten Bowl IV never fumbled and was always purrrfect. (So many puns!)

Episode 90 - Nine Lives 1:29:46

7+ y ago1:29:46

1:29:46

It has an 11% score on Rotten Tomatoes. We gave it a 0% score on basic fictional cat care and 100% on stunt cat costumes. It’s “Nine Lives,” aka that movie in which Kevin Spacey turns into a cat. Tim HATES it. Rebecca has mixed opinions. And if you don’t mind spoilers, make sure to stay tuned to the end of this episode to find out about the siniste…

Episode 87 - House 55:31

7+ y ago55:31

55:31

In 1977, the Japanese art/horror movie House debuts starring a beautiful white cat. In 2016, Meowster records an episode about this weird and wonderful movie. Also, in 2016, in an attempt to avoid being startled, Rebecca chooses to only watch scenes with the cat, fast-forwarding through all others, resulting in some interesting feline-centric genre…

Episode 83 - Little Furry Physicists 1:02:36

8y ago1:02:36

1:02:36

Rebecca calls cats "little furry physicists." But she also thinks George Washington chopped down an apple tree and it takes electricity to make hot water, so clearly cats are smarter than her.

Episode 82 - Meowster Goes to the Cat Show! 46:40

8y ago46:40

46:40

In this episode, Meowster Podcast goes on the road to conduct interviews with real people (and at least one cat) at a competitive cat show. We learned: a giant cat wheel is a prerequisite to having Bengals; you must put a big rock in a Munchkin’s litter box; and cats can earn frequent flier miles.

1
Episode 81 - Top Cat: The Movie 1:01:09

8y ago1:01:09

1:01:09

Top Cat: The Movie is not the most effectual nor in any way intellectual. It is, however, indisputable that the animated characters in this film are noticeably different from their original counterparts in one very eye-catching way. Listen to the episode to find out what that is.

Episode 80 - 2016 Kitten Summer Games 1:33:58

8y ago1:33:58

1:33:58

Synchronized napping, “boxing” with actual cardboard boxes and mixed doubles tennis with Mary Catrillo and John Mac’n’ meow. Don’t let any of this make you freeze with confusion. They’re just signs that kitten sports came back with the Kitten Summer Games on the Hallmark Channel.

Episode 78 - Moo Moo and the Three Sisters 1:55:34

8y ago1:55:34

1:55:34

Watching “Moo Moo and the Three Sisters” raised a lot of questions for us. For example, who are these three sisters to whom the title refers? Other questions include: What is love? What does butter mean? What is a hat? And why did anyone make this movie?

Episode 77 - The Cat Returns 1:51:10

8y ago1:51:10

1:51:10

In this episode, Tim and Rebecca are waiting for a cat to return. From where? We don’t know. To where? We don’t know that either. Where did the cat go? What inspired him to come back? None of these questions and many more will be never be answered if your source material is the Japanese animated film “The Cat Returns”.…

Episode 75 - Cat Songs 3 46:37

8y ago46:37

46:37

In the third installment of Cat Songs, we go all the way to Switzerland and back again only to find that songs about cats fundamentally have the same components. One, they’re not about cats at all. They’re actually about women. Maybe even a princess. Two, they include some peculiar semblance of a cat’s meow.…

Sure people who aren’t fascinated by cats and all of their uniquely feline awesomeness might be unable to tell a calico from a tortoiseshell, let alone a Burmese from a Balinese.

Episode 71 - Top Cat Pt. 7 1:55:04

1:55:04

By our seventh podcast deconstructing Top Cat episodes, who would have thought that there was anything new to see in Hoagy’s Alley? But episodes 25, 26 and 27 have revealed the backs of the gangs’ heads, Top Cat’s heretofore unheard Texas drawl and Officer Dibble’s violent side. We also see redecoration in the alley, including a canopy at the entra…

Episode 70 - Top Cat Part 6 1:48:34

8+ y ago1:48:34

1:48:34

Three more episodes of Top Cat feels a bit like watching two episodes of Three’s Company plus a Harold Lloyd short. In this Hoagey's Alley trio, classic sitcom tropes remind us of the dangers of eavesdropping, mistaken identity, window washing, posing as a folk singer, and Mickey Mantle home runs.

In the analysis of Kitten Bowl III, we have now reached nine cumulative viewing hours of play from the Feline Football League. But we will never let you down, Cat Fans. If there’s a two cat conversion, we’ll count it. If there’s tailgating in the purrking lot, we’ll watch it. As long as the Hallmark Channel keeps producing kitten sports events, Meo…

1:15:25

In honor of Presidents' Day, we're investigating the legacy of cats who have lived in the White House. History books tell us that? there have been 20 Presidential cats in American history. That's just enough to cover in one podcast and still have time for a musical interlude.

Episode 67 - The Strange Little Cat 1:39:19

8+ y ago1:39:19

1:39:19

In the strange little German film, The Strange Little Cat, the eponymous cat is neither strange nor little. He is, however, a naturally talented improvisational first time actor. At least, that’s what we think. Follow the orange and see if you agree.
