Topic: Josie And The Pussycats

A brief disagreement occurs over the quality of the movie *Josie and the Pussycats*. While one host views it as a good film that accurately addresses subliminal messaging in the music industry, the other finds it "horrible." This leads to a side comment on *The Handmaid's Tale*, which is described as a fictionalized future where "Christian white men" take over the government.

The 2001 film Josie and the Pussycats is cited as a satirical look at "the internet of sound" and subliminal brainwashing via embedded audio tones. On the technical side, the transition from iPhone to feature phones is discussed, noting that Apple's iMessage system will automatically revert to standard SMS if it detects a recipient is offline, facilitating a move away from proprietary IP messaging.
