e283. Is Josie and the Pussycats a Bad Movie?

A few weeks ago when we did our episode saying goodbye to Riverdale, Monica made Mav promise that we could do an episode watching and analyzing one of her favorite nostalgic films, Josie and the Pussycats, a 2001 movie drawn from the same IP as Riverdale was. Mav agreed and so here we are. Was Josie and the Pussycats a bad movie? On this episode, Mav, Monica and Wayne are joined by first time guest Nick Miller to try and figure out if this is a movie that deserved to be the critical and commercial bomb it was or does it have something smart and interesting to say about the commercialized world of art in a capitalist society. Listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
