As we work to close out March, we’ve got the first leg of a two-day double-header here at the show, as I was joined by Miss Bethany Summersizzle from Aliens on Fire to take a look back at a movie that had a much more prescient message about capitalism and consumerism than I would have thought:
Josie & The Pussycats (2001)
