Ep 428:Josie & The Pussycats (2001) Recap and Review!

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts celebrate 20 years of Josie and the Pussycats, the cult classic that went from misunderstood box office flop to one of the sharpest satires of the music industry and consumer culture. They revisit the film’s ahead-of-its-time commentary on branding, corporate influence, and manufactured fame, while breaking down the performances, soundtrack, and chaotic energy that helped it find a second life years later. The conversation also explores why the movie resonates more now than it did on release and how it carved out its own legacy. From its biting humor to its pop-punk attitude, this is a retrospective on a film that was always smarter than it got credit for. But does it hold up? Tune in and see!
