We conclude our Madonna Summer Movie Series with another quintessential Madonna film, the 1987 classic "Who's That Girl." We do a deep dive into the movie, hear from Coati Mundi himself (aka Raoul) who tells us a never heard story from on set, and also act out a scene from the imaginary sequel -- "Who's That Girl: Nikki's Revenge."
So grab your tutu and fire engine red lipstick, hop in Mommy's Rolls and take a trip back to Nikki Finn's world.

We are thrilled to be joined this week by director James Foley! James has directed amazing film and tv, but for Madonna fans, he'll be known as the man who directed her "Who's That Girl" movie as well as her music videos for Live To Tell, Papa Don't Preach and True Blue. We talk about James' experience on set of those music videos, about his time directing Sean Penn in "At Close Range" and of course, what it was like working with Madonna and a cougar on the streets of NYC for WTG.
