192. JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS (2001)

Karate in the Garage

Hey, I said Friday and it's still Friday in Hawaii...

**This episode was recorded back in early March bedfore Freddy headed to Atlanta for One Fast Move.**

We've got 2001's Josie and the Pussycats starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid as the rockin' trio just waiting for their big break while playing huge gigs like the local bowling alley. Along for the ride, and playing their nastiness to the hilt, are Parker Posey and Alan Cumming as the record executives that pluck the girls from Riverdale obscurity and "help" them become pop superstars literally overnight. That's how the music business works, right? Written and Directed by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (both from Can't Hardly Wait) serve up the dense satire on what happens when music and commerce collide. Here are some mental health resources for both the United States, and for our northern KITG family up in Canada.

Be mindful of your surroundings. Karate in the Garage Linkages
