Episode 57: SPOILERS... CELEBRATION Opening Night Report 🎉

We are back from a loooong break and the long awaited Season 3 finale and it is a podcast crossover with Nick Koperski from the Traumadonna podcast. We talk about his work for Marvel television and the never-ending connection to Madonna and her contribution to Marvel's Deadpool and Wolverine with Like A Prayer, which celebrated its 35th anniversary this year. We also dig into our Celebration tour experiences this past year. Our luck is running out of time, so come join the party and let's get together.   Guests: Nick Koperski (IG: /_pumpkinking13_) Traumadonna Podcast (IG: /traumadonnapodcast)   Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music

The MDNA tour turns up the radio on promoting the album of the same name and we talk about our favorite performed songs and sections of the tour. We also get down and dirty on Madonna's influence over our livelyhood and how it influenced us and social culture. Enjoy our conversation about the MDNA tour.   Guest: Lauren Wickline IG: /lauren_wickywicky Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music

We fall free as we finish discussing MDNA and get deep and get pure. We don’t give a…as we talk about what I find to be the most ridiculous lyric of all of Madonna’s songs, but also we share different perspectives on the lyrics of songs that make us appreciate the significance of this album and its impact on both of us. Also, how many Madonna songs have been turned in Kid Bopz. Thank you again to my friend, Lauren for joining the podcast and party rocking with us.   Guest: Lauren Wickline IG: /lauren_wickywicky Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music

We're gonna act like a bitch out of order and push all of the letters to the front of our mouths to talk about the 2012 Madonna album MDNA - the first Madonna album of the 2010 decade. We talk Superbowl, Gaga, and Justin Timberlake. Licensed therapist, and my friend, Lauren Wickline join me to talk about this period of time, post Guy Richie, and how we relate to the theme of transgression, love, and self care throughout the album. We also discuss how the power of music can help us heal. Guest: Lauren Wickline IG: /lauren_wickywicky Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music

It's more than a podcast, it's an attitude. Get ready for some dirt in the skirt as I speak with Erin Carlson, author of "No Crying in Baseball:'' the new book all about the making of the film "A League of Their Own," co-starring our one and only, Madonna. We talk about the extensive research done for the film and of course Mo & Ro's Summer with Lavern. I also quiz Erin with a little Choo Choo Ch'boogie trivia to see if I can strike her out on some obscure movie facts. Come play ball with us and it won't even cost 10 cents so some slop can sweat gin all over you.   Guest: Erin Carlson IG: /erinleighcarlson Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music

I speak with Mary Gabriel about her new Madonna biography titled “Madonna: A Rebel Life” published by Little Brown Book Group. Mary talks me through the 5 year process of writing this book, the research she performed, how it is different from other Madonna biographies, and why I think it is a unique take that I think all Madonna fans will enjoy.   Guest: Mary Gabriel Web: Hachette Book Group - Mary Gabriel Page Music Credits: "Glamorous Etoile" by Kinemesis Music
