Show notes

We kick off Czechtember 2022 with a look at Vojtech Jansy’s The Cassandra Cat (1963). Also known as “When the Cat Comes,” the film is a fairy tale about a little city which lives under the protective eye of Oliva (Jan Bierch). When he was young he almost ran away with the circus which featured an unusual act of a cat which could show people their true colors... literally.

Spencer Parsons (opens in a new tab) and Chris Stachiw (opens in a new tab) join Mike to discuss this wondrous film.
