Josie and the Pussycats

Josie and the Pussycats is coming to Studio 74 at Exeter Phoenix on Friday 20 November, starting at 8.20pm. It's a screening of the 2001 film, which runs 98 minutes and was directed by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan, with Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson in the lead roles. The night is presented by Dolly's Film Club in partnership with Cinema Rediscovered as part of the 'Comics Come Alive on Tour' programme.

The screening marks the 25th anniversary of the comic-inspired, camp Y2K classic. It follows Josie and her band, the Pussycats, who, as they drift into the mainstream, discover they're being used by corporate figures to slip subliminal messages into their songs. It's as much a corporate critique as it is a fun teen flick, and the whole thing is built around the comic it takes its name from.

Because it's a Dolly's Film Club night, there's a bit more to it than just sitting in the dark. They've set a punk rock promqueen dress code, so it's a good excuse to dig out something a bit loud and lean into your own rockstar identity for the evening. There are giveaways and prizes on the night, too.

Tickets are £9, £7 for members, and £5 for students and under 25s, with a £1.50 ticketing system charge on top. The screening starts at 8.20pm in Studio 74 at Exeter Phoenix.
