MLVC goes live again to discuss Madonna's iconic Madame X living room session at the Red Rooster in Harlem! Stefan, who was fortunate to attend the event in-person, tells Tony all the details about M's special show -- where she led the crowd in a raucous Mardi Gras-style parade through the streets of Harlem to a church, while singing Like A Prayer alongside world-renowned musician Jon Batiste.
We also speak with some fans about the release of the Madame X tour film and discuss M's appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

We are happy to welcome UK-based fashion designer Michael Politakis as guest-host this week while Tony is away. Stefan and Michael have an in-depth discussion about Madonna's style and fashion throughout the years, where she knocks it out of the park, or other times when her style isn't quite as adored by fans.
We also chat about the upcoming Madame X tour film release on Paramount Plus and how Michael 'stans' the MX era.
