    Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote and produced the Broadway musical Cats in the 1980s. The movie adaptation that was released in 2019 was beyond abysmal. Truly cringe cinema. The humor in this anecdote is based on the fact that CATS was so bad the creator bought a DOG.

      Yes, I got that from the exact same thing being written out in the image. The title implies buying a dog is worse than James Cordon.

        The op was just making a dig at cordon. It’s not really relevant to anything other than him being in the movie.

        OPs title references the fact that Webber needed to get a therapy dog from the PTSD he developed from how badly they butchered his musical.
