It’s literally impossible to think of a worse movie than some of the movies that actually exist in the world.

Punch Drunk Love is also a marvel
Also: animal-human hybrids in a post-apocalyptic earth? Clearly this was a Cats prequel.
For me, this was the episode that killed off any hope of Yaz becoming a proper character.
I'm sure the Star Wars fandom are far too reasonable for such behavior.
“This is a legend from the beforetime, from the long-long ago...”
The focus group sketch is superb, and yet it was only the second-best focus group sketch on Netflix in 2019.
I’ve never seen a more blatant cult-classic-in-waiting than Cats. I can’t wait to attend raucous midnight screenings in the 2040s and tell people that I was there at the beginning.
The two tall ones balance out the short one
I also fell asleep during Cats, mainly due to post-Xmas food coma. My companions liked it enough to drag me back for a second viewing. I voluntarily went to a third and there might be a fourth. Once you accept Cats for what it is, it's a rip-roaring good time.
I keep saying negative things about the Chibnall era so let me focus on the positive: it looks beautiful and the credits are great.
That first one is an Ursula LeGuin story, innit?
Yup. Everything that Chibnall sets up seems to fall flat on its face - for example, the way this episode ends with 15 minutes of expository dialogue, including some really egregious “actually, I went back in time earlier and solved that problem in advance.”
I wonder if this series is going to be a Rise of Skywalker-esque overreaction to criticism of the last season. Lots of it sounds good on paper — returning villains! explosions! romance! Yaz doing something! — but I found the execution of this episode a little unconvincing. It all felt a bit forced.
To be followed by Coldfinger, Spectrum, and The Pie Who Loved Me.
No, that must have been someone else who understands how cinemas work
Reasons I would never live in America:
As a huge Xanadu fan, I'm really really hoping that this is a 21st century Xanadu.
