Peak of Fiction PodcastCATS (2019) Review: Complete Cat-astropheWe can't remember what happiness is after this.Garbage Month continues with Tom Hooper's infamous Broadway adaptation, CATS. A wretched movie that was surely more than a few sorry souls last experience in cinemas, with a plot just as bad as its visual effects.
