Josie and the Pussycats.
It was so far ahead of its time that critics just didn’t get it because the world they were satirizing was still about a decade away. (Instagram, fame, product placement, fanboyism…)

“Holy shit that girls got a skunk on her head! Oh…that’s just your hair. But seriously…that’s messed up.”
