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

“I’m not interested in being Wonder Woman in the gym. I want to be stronger than Wonder Woman.” – MadonnaIn this episode, we look at the business venture that was Madonna's Hard Candy Fitness, including the workout DVDs, ADDICTED TO SWEAT. We also take a look at what turned out to be her last appearance acting on screen (for now), playing Liz on the iconic sitcom WILL & GRACE! We're joined by actor, personal trainer, and (most importantly) huge Madonna fan, CHASE McCOWN! You're going to want to get into his groove because he's got the connections and he's got the tea!

“I live a highly scheduled life. There’s absolutely no time wasted. I’m very focused. And I have a great assistant.” – MadonnaIn this episode, we sit down with one of Madonna’s former assistants, Amanda Tate Beir, for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be the assistant to the most influential pop artist of our time. From her beginnings as an intern at Maverick Records, to becoming Madonna's personal assistant, Amanda shares with us what Madonna is like when the cameras aren't on, what people get wrong about her, and shares stuff that only the inner circle knows!It's the tuberose fantasy you always dreamed of!Email us: TheCelebrationCelebration@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @TheCelebrationCelebrationPick up a copy of Eric’s book: The Dancerhttps://a.co/d/0gAi3bePick up a copy of John's book: Baked!

“Art should be dangerous. That’s when it’s real.” – MadonnaIn this episode, we explore the chaos, controversy, and creative bravery of Madonna’s darkest, boldest, and most combustible film work. From the gritty downtown art-scene roots of A Certain Sacrifice to Abel Ferrara’s raw, meta-cinematic Dangerous Game, these are the moments when Madonna started playing with fire. (metaphorically speaking, that is)We also discuss the upcoming Bedtime Stories - The Untold Chapter, her podcast interview with Jay Shetty, and her screen test for the TV show Fame!She's gonna live forever, and we’re all just lucky to watch her burn!

"No matter what you did, no matter who you are, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself." - MadonnaIn this episode, we dive into Madonna’s second tour documentary, I’m Going to Tell You a Secret, which followed the 2004 Re-Invention Tour and gave fans a more spiritual, intimate look at the Queen of Pop. We’re joined once again by Brendan Cooper (Eric’s Drag Mother and our returning guest from the Truth or Dare episode) who helps us unpack the contrasts between Madonna’s two tour films, the evolution of her onstage persona, and the ways this documentary reflects her mid-2000s reinvention.We share some secrets of our own, create our own "Madonna poetry," and fight for #JusticForJoanAnd we discuss the latest news on CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR PT. 2!

Grab your popcorn (young Madonna's favorite food) because this week we're talking about Madonna's blink-and-you’ll-miss-it film appearances.From a bar crooner in Vision Quest to a fencing instructor with attitude in Die Another Day, we’re breaking down six roles where the Queen of Pop pops in, makes an impression, and vanishes just as quickly. We’ll talk her tightrope walker in Shadows and Fog, the telegram-singing in Blue in the Face, camp witchery in Four Rooms, and sex-positivity in Girl 6.Are these forgettable cameos, or tiny gems that show off Madge’s knack for stealing a scene? Either way, we’re watching them all so you don’t have to (but maybe you should).Plus: which cameo deserves a full spin-off? Which one made us cringe? And what does it say about Madonna’s relationship to Hollywood that so many of her roles are... cameos?Here are links to those performances in case you want to follow along!Vision Quest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akUVYzA8G20Shadows and Foghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjXyTPyy60IBlue in the Face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ99leUQjgA&list=RDvJ99leUQjgA&start_radio=1Four Rooms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYXZay3hQhMGirl 6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmYQimfiCpkDie Another Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjJE9f3fadwEmail us: TheCelebrationCelebration@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @TheCelebrationCelebrationPick up a copy of Eric’s book: The Dancerhttps://a.co/d/0gAi3bePick up a copy of John's book: Baked!
