We didn't start out this episode intending to talk about the 2001 spy-comedy kids film "Cats & Dogs," but I think we can confidently say that we've all been enriched by the experience? Sure. This film dares to ask: what exactly is funny about household pets doing spy stuff? It's conclusion? Scientists are still searching for the answer to this day, but in the meantime we've got some trash tier jokes, some bizarrely dark plot developments, and some truly early-2000s animation and filmmaking techniques to sift through. The real question at the end of it all is whether or not we actually care, and that depends: does it count if you care about the fact that something exists, but not about the thing itself? This week on Nostalgia Blinded, it's time to dive deep into the philosophical questions surrounding the very idea of nostalgia, so strap in folks: it's "Cats & Dogs!"
