Shorts: Josie and the Pussycats — No, No, Wait! Hear Me Out!

### "Du Jour means teamwork!" You know the feeling. You have a ridiculous internal affair with a movie. You’ve seen it a dozen times. You laugh at all the right places and cry when it ends. But alas, you are alone. Your friends don’t understand you. They shun you. They malign your tastes. You suffer in silence. It is in that spirit that Tommy Handsome brings you _No, No, Wait! Hear Me Out!_ The latest Next Reel Short is a chance to right a wrong in the world by building a case that a movie you think you’re supposed to hate actually has some value. This month, it’s _Josie and the Pussycats_, Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan directing. This B-list film about a C-list comic book band actually offers some A-list comedy, says Tommy. Starring Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Alan Cumming, and Parker Posey, this cast manages to deliver a level of insight into consumer culture that punches well above its weight. So join us on this maiden voyage of _No, No, Wait! Hear Me Out!_ and let your shame drift, drift away with three… small… words… ### Film Sundries - Watch this film: [iTunes](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/movie/josie-and-the-pussycats-2001/id301097584?at=11lrTo) • [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Josie-Pussycats-Rachael-Leigh-Cook/dp/B000IKQMPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&sr=1-1&s=movies-tv&keywords=josie+and+the+pussycats&tag=rashpixel_mwl-20&qid=1476054707) - [Script Transcript](http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/j/josie-and-the-pussycats-script.html) - [Original theatrical trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU5bOAyDbHc) - [Original poster artwork](http://www.impawards.com/2001/josie_and_the_pussycats.html) - [Flickchart](http://www.flickchart.com/movie/573DF9C602) - [Letterboxd](http://letterboxd.com/film/josie-and-the-pussycats/)
