  Bonus: Madonna Movie-cast (Part II) - Dick Tracy

  Mar 15, 202639 min

  What's so intriguing about Dick? Sure, it's bursting with color and cartoon villains, but is it really for kids? Perhaps there's a quiet layer of mid-life emptiness lurking under the primary lights, snazzy costumes, Madonna's torch songs—along with her brazen banter and boobage. The Notorious J.A.M. and CK-1 dig past the dozens of celebrity cameos and the massive marketing machine—and ask the big question: Can this yellow-coated hero ever step out from under the long, dark shadow of Batman?

  Bonus: Madonna Movie-cast (Part I)

  Mar 1, 202655 min

  The Notorious J.A.M. rejoins CK-1 for a dive into the cinematic surreality that failed to make Madonna the world's biggest movie star: The ultra-low-budget, revenge fever dream A Certain Sacrifice and the helium-voiced, screwball chaos of Who's That Girl? Brace yourself for love slaves, satanic rituals, diabolical driving, cougars on the loose, and a whole lot of 'what were they thinking?' :01 A Certain Sacrifice :21 Commercial Break :22 Who's That Girl?

  Feb 1, 202659 min

  Eye to eye, we need no words at all… except we're gonna need a lot of words (plus one secret word) for Madonna's greatest '80s tunes and a couple of controversies.
