It’s no secret that Josie and the Pussycats (2001) is The Best Movie Ever (join the army!), so it was only a matter of time before we covered it here on Spooky Tuesday. It may not technically be a horror movie, but it is in its own way a murder mystery — and given that it’s been just about a year since we first came up with the concept of Fifth Tuesday, we knew its day had finally come. A musical comedy with a banger soundtrack and a killer cast, this flick didn’t get the appreciation and critical acclaim it deserved twenty years ago, but we’re doing our part to make up for that now as we talk about the romantic tension between Josie and Valerie, how absolutely iconic Fiona is, and everything that DuJour means (friendship, crash positions, etc).
