In this made for Showtime television spoof of Madonna's "Truth or Dare" documentary, comedienne Julie Brown portrays Medusa, an egocentric, hyper-sexual (and not particularly talented) pop star on an international five-day world tour, "The Blonde Leading the Blonde" show. Brown painstakingly duplicates costumes, sets and hairstyles while spoofing Madonna's seeming self-obsession. Madonna visits the cemetery where her mother is buried; Medusa visits the pet cemetery where her dog Buster is laid to rest. (Or is it "Boomer"?) Madonna performs fellatio on a bottle, at the dare of a friend; Medusa does it on a watermelon. And so on...

Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful
maybe im fucked, but i just love this brand of 70s-80s-90s new york/ LA faghag parodical humour that is simultaneously mocking the zeitgeist while feeding into the cultural canon - and julie brown in particular is a favourite comedienne of mine who can certainly be said to portray that sort of attitude. im not a madonna superfan or whatever (i am but dw about that) but a julie brown one? maybe... and the fact its taking me so long to watch her movies and not just rips of her musical scenes and clips of just say julie on youtube is SHOCKING! the music here is just great idc and the part of her holding a candy candy bag is the best thing to be included in a movie ever
