Heheheheheh! So you see we have come to the end of our series “Cuz I Wanna (and You’re Gonna Like It)”! But you may think you have won because we are now at the end but you must listen to me now and hear what I say because your kung fu is not strong enough to make it to the end of this series! No, it isn’t! Hahahahahaha, that is very amusing to me! You may think of kung fu movies as being like the works of the Shaw Brothers but their kung fu is weak and not strong but ours is stronger! Hahahaha! You better pay attention! Yeah! Listen to my inexplicable Australian accent as I explain your inevitable defeat! I say again, your kung fu is weak! The kung fu of Stephen Chow is much stronger! Hah! You know that the truth is inevitable and is your destiny! Or perhaps the destiny of your Master! Heh heh heh, your kung fu is so weak that you cannot possibly understand my brilliantly translated words ohhh? The Max and Mike School will conquer you! You are foolish to think that is not so! Hahaha! Come, listen to the strength of our words and see if you can face “Kung Fu Hustle” with the very best of us! Hahahaha, the idea makes me laugh very much! Ha!

Cats. What do we know about them? We know that naming them is a difficult matter. We know that they are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose. We know that T.S. Eliot was fond of them and Andrew Lloyd Weber found a way to turn that fondness into obsession (and the movie turned them into a nightmare). We know that a cat is an angel that poops in a box. But now, thanks to this week’s entry in our series “Cuz I Wanna (and You’re Gonna Like It)”, we know that they don’t dance. Ever. . . or do they? Spoiler alert: in this film they do, in a manner suspiciously reminiscent of Gene Kelly. Yes, enjoy the wacky hi-jinks as the cats Danny and Sawyer hoof (or claw) their way into your hearts. We learn that elephants can play the piano and penguins can tap-dance (without being voiced by Elijah Wood, even!). Is this lesser-known, somewhat . . . less than successful Warner Brothers animated movie a hidden gem? An unsung classic? A dull surprise? Give a listen and *hack* *hork* *hack* . . . sorry, hairball . . . and find out!

Ok, most cunning and perceptive listeners, Max and Mike desperately need your help this week. Yes, through exhaustive research (following YouTube threads) and careful observation (watching Nicholas Cage movies), we’ve uncovered an ancient conspiracy involving the fate of the Necco wafer factory! Necco wafers: essential both as dry, chalky candy treats and makeshift poker chips. Yes, wake up, sheeple! You’ve been lied to! This is big, folks; it involves the Illuminati, the Rosicrucians, the Knights of Pythias, the Order of Free Gardeners, and That Weird Guy Bob Who Hangs Out Down By the Stop and Shop. Oh, this is a big one, folks, way bigger than the trivial nonsense in this week’s movie about a secret being printed on the back of the Declaration of Independence and Nick Cage trying to steal it! Pah! We’re finally going to reveal why Necco wafers were crushed back in 2003, vanishing from the earth . . . excuse me? Hah? Oh. They just moved the factory to Revere, Massachusetts? And they’re still making Necco wafers? Ok . . . well, this is awkward. Ummm . . . hey, have you noticed that “Necco” is an anagram for “Ocean” . . . if you turn one of the c’s into an a . . .? Hoo boy . . . well, uh, maybe just give a listen to our talk about a slightly less absurd conspiracy theory movie which raises the question: do you buy Jon Voight as Nick Cage’s father?
