Episode 3 takes us all the way back to the 1960s, as we discuss "That Darn Cat." It's a movie with everything you need: strong women and cats. Syn the cat is the feline star of the show and of this episode. We recap and review the movie, and discuss Syn's life and acting prowess as "Darn Cat," or D.C.. Audrey digs into the archives for Movie Magic. And Melissa's surprise scenario asks us to put ourselves into D.C.'s paws for a day.

We're putting the spotlight back on the animals who bring the clawed, pawed, feathered, and furred characters we love to life. We learn about the animals' lives and the movie magic behind their acting. Then we review the movie or TV show and its animal actors, dive into a surprise scenario, and answer the important questions, like: "If you had to choose one animal actor to adopt, one to send to a no kill shelter, and one to taxidermy...?"

In episode one, we focus on the actors who portrayed Chance, Sassy, and Shadow. We recap, review, and rate the movie and actors. We reveal some movie magic and Melissa's surprise scenario question pits us against one another.
