Working for an obscure magazine, Ben (Zwar) tracks down faded TV soap star Darren McWarren (Gann) in a tiny broken-down coastal town outside Melbourne in order to interview him for a 'Where Are They Now?' segment. But when the reclusive Darren invites Ben to stay with him, his girlfriend Cindy (Beyersdorf) and his dogsbody Bruce (Denny), Ben gets more than he bargained for. *Very* dark (and very funny) comedy is brilliantly conceived by Gann, Zwar and Rogers, whose first successful creation was the Wilfred character (which emerged in a prizewinning 2002 Tropfest short). RATS AND CATS is much edgier, gloomier and subtler than WILFRED, as Zwar is superb as the straight foil to Gann's over-the-top narcissist. It's a shame this barely got a release.
