  • Summary

  • Mark and Taylor discuss SPICE WORLD (1997), which currently sits at 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Spice Girls starred as fictionalized versions of themselves in a tongue-in-cheek, super-British mockumentary/fantasy/sci-fi that essentially serves as a 90-minute music video.

    Spicemania was running wild, and not even celebrities were immune. The script was rewritten on the fly to accomodate every famous face that wanted to be in it — including Elton John, Elvis Costello, and Gary Oldman.

    Everyone involved expected the movie to get bad reviews — and it did — but it inspired a scathing vitrolic rant from Roger Ebert in a notable departure from his usual diplomatic style. 

    All this, plus the Spice Girls' trip to the Cannes Film Festival, Sony demanding subtitles for just one Spice Girl, and the aliens that groped Scary Spice.
