WyldCats Table Read – Paper Team Live (PT162)

Alex and Nick host alongside Scriptd a live table read of JB June’s WyldCats, the pilot script from one of their listeners. A great cast of talented actors joins us to bring to life this animated episode, followed by a live Q&A and a feedback session with the writer.

WyldCats is a satirical animation in a world where a retired ThunderCats-like team of feline warriors reunite in an attempt to battle evil in a modern, technological society.
