“JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVERJOIN THE ARMY”
Blown away by how much this movie holds up. I remember watching it in 2001 because I was a huge Archie fan and thinking its so fucking weird and funny and thinking “Three Small Words” was the best song I’d ever heard. It‘s still up there! Truly a fantastic, fun anti-consumerist satire. John Field’s video essay says it better than I could: it’s the greatest film ever made.P.S. the man who shot this film also shot Iron Man, Venom, A Star Is Born, Birds of Prey, and every Aronofsky movie. And no joke, you can absolutely tell the same guy shot this movie and Requiem For A Dream.
Three aspiring musicians from a small town find instant fame after signing a record deal, only to discover their handlers are using their band as a front to control American youth through subliminal messages.
The film was directed by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, a duo known for their work in early 2000s teen comedies.
While it was misunderstood upon its initial release, the film has been reevaluated as a sharp, self-aware satire of consumer culture and the music industry. You can find the full soundtrack on Mood.
