Happy 25th anniversary to one of the most underrated (loose) comic book adaptations of all time. 'Josie and the Pussycats' didn't rock the box office, but it's a hell of a fun film that was ahead of its time. It had girl power and friendship, colourful costumes, Alan Cumming as a shady executive, and pure unadulterated 90s vibe.
Beyond the surface, it was a clever satire with a strong anti-consumerism message and commentary on media manipulation, manufactured trends, and how big labels treat art as a product and artists as disposable tools, highlighting the contrast between soulless capitalist approach and genuine individuality and inspiration. With a fantastic pop punk soundtrack and original songs performed by Kay Hanley, singer of Letters to Cleo, and John Stephan & J’son Thomas for the DuJour performances.
DuJour means friendship! DuJour means teamwork! DuJour means seat belts! 🤘
