55:50|UPDATE: The original audio for this episode was not good. Hopefully it now is good!It has been brought to Tim and Guy's attention that a group of Americans have taken it upon themselves to create a sequel to Cats, a spiritual succession (or at least response) to Tom Hooper's 2019 horror film.
