MLVC had a spontaneous live show due to the recent news of Madonna's hospitalization; we wanted to have a moment to honor our Queen and send light and love into the universe as she begins to heal from her bacterial infection. The announcement hit social media today, via M's manager, Guy Oseary, and he informed us that the Celebration tour, which was meant to launch in mere weeks, is going to be postponed for the foreseeable future.

It's the return of MLVC's Madonna Summer Movie Series! For our first movie of the summer, we rewatch 1990's Dick Tracy. Starring Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy and Madonna as Breathless Mahoney, we take a look at the amazing Technicolor world created in the movie, and discuss everything from the characters & the actors who played them, to the extremely quotable dialog, and of course the many outfits and hairstyles of our favorite femme fatale, Breathless Mahoney. "Dick, that's an interesting name..."
