Ep.63:Josie and the Pussycats (2001)

A satire of pop culture at the turn of the 21st century Josie and the Pussycats flopped hard at the theaters upon it's release. (But the soundtrack went gold!) Host Wyndham Jennings walks you through the surprising origins of the title characters, the impact they had on pop culture, and the troubled development of the film. He then attempts to figure out how a great cast, witty script, and pitch perfect soundtrack failed to blow up at the box office, and why it's started surging back as a cult classic in the last few years. So join Celluloid Fever Dreams for a stroll to the time of TRL, Boy Bands, and Grrrl Power with Josie and The Pussycats, and remember: DuJour means Happiness. Other films mentioned: The House of Yes, Van Wilder, He Got Game, Galaxy Quest, Splinter, She's All That
