Cats. The universally-panned flop that's going to cost its studio millions of dollars.
A graphic design named Rob Sheridan had a passion for bad movies and a bag full of psychedelic mushrooms. Combining the two was a massive mistake.
T-minus 30 minutes. Things are getting weird. Not really sure how strong these mushrooms are so I just guessed. My Mom took me to see the touring production of cats when I was a kid and all I remember is I HATED it. How long into the film will I last before I have a panic attack?

Rob elaborated on his experience in an interview with 'Birth. Movies. Death.'
I ate a bunch of them, more than I have of these before, just kinda stuffed a handful in my mouth without any sort of measure or rationale behind the dosage.
How long will Rob (extremely high) last into this screening of CATS?

Trailers playing now. There are five other people in the cinema. Everything is overwhelming already. I am made of gummy. I am Gumby Man. I don’t know if I can do this you guys.

The Sprite commercial was too stressful for me so I am terrified for the dancing cats to show up

According to the interview, things were already getting bad.
I was slinking down in my chair, my body melting, and suddenly they're playing the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer and I was losing it.
They’re playing the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG trailer, which I guess is like foreplay?

Now they’re playing the DOLITTLE trailer and it’s like, holy fuck guys, chill out with the talking animals, like, I’m not even gonna make it to the movie at this rate

WHAT THE FUCK THEY HAVE HUMAN FACES HOW IS THIS LEGAL

Their terrifying faces and their demonic eyes were right in my face, like it was 3D. I could feel their CGI fur scratching me. I realize now that I have never seen a movie on mushrooms before, and I'm not sure I ever will again.
THIS IS TOO HORNY

Via B.M.D. this is when Rob reached a breaking point.
I had to take a break. I left, went into the bathroom, went into the stall to be alone, and just breathed. The quiet space and bright flat white fluorescent light comforted me, because nothing was moving, nothing was hairy, nothing was horny. After a few minutes, I was ready to try again.
I’m in the bathroom. I needed a break. It’s a nightmare. It just keeps going. It’s terrifying nonsense. The people in the theater are clapping after the songs? They are taking this seriously? I feel like I’m undercover in a cult meeting and they’re onto me.
