Josie and the Pussycats
Directed by Deborah Kaplan, Harry Elfont
Josie, Melody and Val are three small-town girl musicians determined to take their rock band out of their garage and straight to the top, while remaining true to their look, style and sound. They get a record deal which brings fame and fortune but soon realize they are pawns of two people who want to control the youth of America. They must clear their names, even if it means losing fame and fortune. From TMDB

60 of 197 · most liked firstI am watching Josie and the Pussycats for the first time and I feel if this movie had come out a few years earlier I would have figured out I was gay in high school
positive · AI labelView post →Today's December Comfort Watch: Josie and the Pussycats, in its way a perfect film, and a delightful if heightened time capsule of the world of 2001, with songs so much better than they had to be. Come learn why I adore it so: whatever.scalzi.com/2023/12/12/t...
positive · AI labelView post →Josie and the Pussycats is totally jerkin'! And once again, here's my essay about how fun (and, unexpectedly, to me, anyway, smart) this movie turned out to be: whatever.scalzi.com/2023/12/12/t...
positive · AI labelView post →Katy Perry honestly feels like the most curséd version of what could have come out of the universe of the 2001 film Josie and the Pussycats. Every time I hear her, I’m sure Mr Moviefone is enthusiastically endorsing the worst bastards alive on the subtrack messages.
neutral · AI labelView post →It wasn’t ahead of its time, it’s reflective of its time! Literally the satire in Josie and the Pussycats is of how the music industry and others works. It’s part of what makes it an incredible movie. It’s proof that this is how this has worked for a very, very long time.

Also, half of the things cut out of this short were just me gushing about how much I love the Josie and the Pussycats movie.
positive · AI labelView post →You wanna talk about a movie you can't make anymore: Josie and the Pussycats. You can't trick that many brands into letting you do that anymore.
positive · AI labelView post →Drawing while watching Josie and the Pussycats. Seeing how much Sega put into this film is something, it's such a time capsule! 😔 RIP Dreamcast..
neutral · AI labelView post →everyone liking everything isn’t just fucking boring but it stinks of a capitalist, Josie and the Pussycats movie evil plan of “don’t question it. just buy it!” but we need bad reviews as much as we need good ones. otherwise we’re just drones agreeing to everything. yikes.

neutral · AI labelView post →To anyone asking, it's "Josie and the Pussycats" and it was a misunderstood genius film.
positive · AI labelView post →2001's Josie and the Pussycats is an oddly genius film that really skewered and criticized the pop music industry and so prescient about influencer culture. That said, it had a lot of legitimate bangers like "3 Small Words" and "Pretend to Be Nice." www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_fs...
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway I had a colossally shitty day so can you all do me a favor and if you love Parker Posey in white lotus but haven’t seen Josie And The Pussycats just do me a personal favor and watch Josie tonight?? I have no connection to the film I just love it and you should watch it right now
positive · AI labelView post →I will die on this hill. Josie and The Pussycats should be a bigger cult classic / teen movie. Truly ahead of its time and still holds up even more today with fan culture.

positive · AI labelView post →Not to make you fall in love with me or anything but I own the 20th anniversary Blu-ray edition of Josie and the Pussycats if you want to come over and eat gummy worms and watch the most underrated film of our generation
positive · AI labelView post →Big shout out to whoever wrote Alan Cumming's Wikipedia page and made the whole "Career: 2000-2011" section about his West End roles, production work, essays, and documentaries, without a single mention of his film roles of that era (Spy Kids, X2, Garfield, Josie and the Pussycats, Son of the Mask)
neutral · AI labelView post →WIP1 • Josie and the Pussycats (film) because music + found family • Falls From Grace (Ruby Landers) because music + sapphic • Everything Sucks (TV show) because 90s + vibes • Losing Sam/Finding Jess (Nicole Maser) because found family + sapphic + second chances #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity

neutral · AI labelView post →If you’ve never watched Josie and the Pussycats (2001) this is your sign to. A genuinely terrible film but so delightfully camp, depicting (with the subtlety of a hammer) teens being brainwashed by popular culture. Plus featuring Alan Cumming AND Parker Posey 😍
