We're at a Crossroads

In this episode of "Matinee With Matt," hosts Matt and Michael take a nostalgic trip back to the early 2000s as they dive deep into the iconic 2002 movie, "Crossroads," starring pop princess Britney Spears. Arriving back to theaters for a short stint in correlation with Spears' new memoir release, "Crossroads" is a coming-of-age road trip movie that stars Spears, Zoe Saldaña, and Taryn Manning as three childhood friends who embark on a journey of self-discovery. Traveling with their driver, Ben (Anson Mount), from Georgia to California in search of a record contract, the three ladies bond and uncover new truths about one another along the way. Matt and Michael dissect the movie and what it has meant to audiences since its initial release. There is no better way to kick off the first episode of "Matinee With Matt" than by talking about Britney Spears and her contributions to music, pop culture, and everything in between! Listen as the two hosts discuss the impact that "Crossroads" has had on Spears' acting career, fun facts about the making of the movie, critical and audience reception at the time, and how the film catapulted its lesser-known stars to box office success.
