The Celebration Celebration: A Tour Through the Tours of Madonna!

Sure, we love seeing Madonna perform, but what about those INTERSTITIALS! 

This month we take a closer look at all of the interstitial bits in Madonna’s tours. And we very creatively call it THE INTERSTITIAL EXAMINATION! 

We’re talking about the videos that play and the numbers her dancers do while the queen is offstage, changing costumes. 

What are our favorites? Which ones are “meh?” Which ones thrill us and which ones leave us frozen?

Give it a listen to find out! And tell everyone you know!

A funny thing happened on the way to the bus station. Too bad none of it made it into the movie!

Who's ready for a book club?

This episode we're talking about Christopher Ciccone's memoir/tell-all, LIFE WITH MY SISTER MADONNA! (with help from Wendy Leigh)

We're joined by long time Madonna fan and creative multi-hyphenate, BRYAN CARPENDER!

Follow Bryan on IG: @mybrytography

Nathan Rabin from The A.V. Club panned the book saying that Ciccone implied their mother would be, "horrified at Madonna's debauchery but would feel proud her gay son wrote a book that prominently features him snorting cocaine with various super-celebrities."

Do we agree with Nathan Rabin? Give it a listen and find out!

We've got some ideas for future episodes, but we'd really love to hear from you if there's anything you want us to talk about. Or anyone you wants us to talk with!

We're back!

We decided to keep the party going, but in a casual way, boots!

This episode we're talking about Madonna's performance at BRIXTON ACADEMY in 2000! The performance was streamed by 9 million people! In 2018 Guinness Book of World Records named it the largest internet pop concert of all time!

You can watch her performance here:

The Celebration Tour has launched (Hallelujah!!!) We haven't seen it yet, but we're on "the internet" (heard of it!) so we've seen some clips! This episode we're talking about what we've seen from the first two performances.

And thanks to a listener suggestion, we're rating all of her tour entrances! Do we cover her in velvet kisses? Who goes for second best? Do people think that we're insane?

Give it a listen, and let us know what you think!

Every time Madonna appears on MTV's VMAs (Video Music Awards) people can't stop talking about her! And we're no exception! From Like a Virgin, to Vogue, to Like a Virgin/Hollywood, and all of the tributes in between, Madonna is so many things!

So it's fitting that our guest is none other than actor/director/comedian/playwright/podcaster, JASON O'CONNELL!
