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!

From the ballrooms of the '80s to the front lines of Pride, Madonna has stood with the queer community, but why exactly is she such a gay icon?

In this special Pride Month episode, we explore Madonna’s decades-long relationship with LGBTQ+ people: the music, the activism, the controversies, and the undeniable influence. We dive into voguing and “Truth or Dare,” AIDS activism and Dance-a-thons, the Stonewall speech, GLAAD awards, lawsuits, and more. We don’t shy away from the messy parts, but we also give the Queen her flowers.

Is she a savior? A thief? A symbol? A sister?

Or maybe all of the above.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just gay enough to be curious—this one’s for you.

Are you a curious kid who wants to know more about Madonna? We thought so!

This month, we asked our (heterosexual) pal Kyle Shoemaker to a very special Celebration Celebration challenge: after reading Madonna Biography For Curious Kids: Queen of Pop, we quizzed him using Madonna Quiz Book: 101 Questions To Test Your Knowledge Of Madonna. Did the book prepare him? Does Kyle know his “Material Girl” from his “Madame X?” Give it a listen and find out!

It’s a chaotic, hilarious, and possibly educational ride you won’t want to miss. Taylor Swift and "Weird Al" Yankovic make cameos.
