It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2001’s satirical musical comedy, Josie and the Pussycats!

Endless product placement! A classic and catchy soundtrack that features Letters to Cleo’s Kay Hanley and (we think) Matthew Sweet! A consistently funny movie that effortlessly bounces between witty, subversive moments and silly, slapstick comedy! Fun, creative direction from Can’t Hardly Wait’s Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont! A perfect cast that includes Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Parker Posey, Alan Cumming, Missi Pyle, possibly the greatest boy band of all time, Dujour, and the vocal talents of Mr. Moviefone! A misunderstood, ahead of its time gem - with a sweet message about being true to yourself and not getting caught in the cogs of consumerism - that has found the cult following it deserves despite its disappointing box office!

In addition, Tim shares his spoiler-free thoughts on 1988’s Alien Nation and the Oscar-winning cinematographer of Cool as Ice, while Alex talks about Shin Ultraman, Knight and Day, The Beekeeper, and Sniper G.R.I.T.!

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).

This week on Pop Culture Boner we’re taking a look at the 1999 teen classic She’s All That, and it’s unfortunate 2021 remake, He’s All That. We take a deep dive on the motivation behind remaking nostalgic classics, gender swapped roles, performances for Tik Tok and whether or not there’s actually any way to make one of these remakes good.

Who wouldn't want to relive the 90's/00's MTV era where pop music was constantly being shoved in your face and every pop star was trying to sell you a different brand of soda? We certainly don't, but "Josie and the Pussycats" makes it all seem fun. It's cute, quick, funny, satirical, and oddly on point. It has a great cast, solid premise, and a lot of laughs so grab some wine and watch it with us! We paired it with a rose by Band of Roses. I'm not saying you have to do that but it's recommended for those legally able to do so. Movie Sync Notes: We start the movie 3:48 into the pod and push play on part two at 56:48. Du Jour means watch the movie with us.
