Matinée means family. Matinée means seatbelts. And Tuesday means a new episode!
This week, Jane Campbell joins us as we dive headfirst into the satirical girl group comedy Josie and the Pussycats (2001). We debate the validity of the film's cynical take on consumerism, the "child gaze" (a term coined by jane during the episode), and how making a girly film in Hollywood will get you NOWHERE! Plus: who would each of us be in the band? Is Alan M hot or just a noodle in flip flops? This is the only place for those answers!
thanks so much to jane for joining us to to laugh, scream & sing "Three Small Words".
