Anecdotes
Due to the level of profanity and adult themes, the family friendly Archie comics which published the original Josie and the Pussycats stories, would denounce the film and discouraged people from seeing it. Strangely, many years later, the comics would not only be fine with, but also promote the television series Riverdale (2017) based on their Archie stories (and which features Josie, Melody, and Valerie as secondary characters). Which arguably had much darker adult themes in its storylines than this movie.

Gaffes
In the final concert when Alan M. shows up and Josie is talking to him, she steps away from the microphone but her voice is still amplified as if she was still talking into the microphone.

Amusing satire on the power & brainwashing of the music industry

I never saw the original cartoon but decided to pick up 2001's "Josey and the Pussycats" because Tara Reid's such a cutie and it looked like some fun entertainment.

Yes, it's fun and the girls are attractive (also featuring Rachael Leigh Cook & Rosario Dawson) but, surprisingly, "Josey and the Pussycats" shoots for something deeper. As my title blurb points out, this is an amusing and potent satire on the power and manipulation of the entertainment industry.

Alan Cumming is outstanding as the villainous band manager who uses, abuses and throws away at whim. His opening scene with the fictional boyband Du Jour is worth the price of admission! Parker Posey is also good as his diabolical superior.

Ever wonder why all those musicians die in mysterious plane crashes, overdoses, etc. at the height of their fame? How about all those successful government cover-ups? How do artists with little actual talent and songwriting abilities become hugely popular while the truly talented artists languish in obscurity (like Meliah Rage)? Why do you sometimes have this insane drive for a Big Mac or Coke? "Josie and the Pussycats" explains all, lol.

As for the doofuses who complain about the product placement, they all live on Aduh Street.

The film runs 98 minutes.
