![POP STARLET CROSSOVERS TO FILM feat. PopChops](https://joy.org.au/outtakes/wp-content/uploads/sites/310/2017/04/Crossroads.jpg)
For this special OUT TAKES crossover, we get our camp on and look at some of the kitschiest pop starlet crossovers to film: think GLITTER, BURLESQUE and CROSSROADS.
They may rake in money at the box office (save for GLITTER, which bombed) but these crossovers are invariably savaged by the critics, so we ask: are these films so bad that they’re good? Or are they just plain bad? Why is it that so may pop divas crossover to film with such camp and spectacular deficiency? Or are we just being harsh?
These are tough questions, no doubt. So we called in the boys from JOY’s own POPCHOPS to give us a hand. Popchops provides the freshest spin on pop music that you’re likely to find, and we bet that no one has sat through GLITTER quite as many times as Dan and Andy.
Will they defend Britney’s turn as a young and naive ingénue desperate to lose her virginity in CROSSROADS or will they side with the very low 3.4 rating that it holds on IMDB? Take a listen to find out!
Essential Viewing: Crossroads (Dir. Tamra Davis, 2002)
Hungry for More: Glitter (Dir. Vondie Curtis Hall, 2001)
Check out Popchops, Thursdays from 10pm, only on JOY!
