Julie Brown’s spoof of Madonna’s Truth or Dare rockumentary, Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful,  is likely to be some of her best work.    It was released on VHS in 1994.  Neal and I had believed that it was never released on DVD (an Amazon search disproves this).

Yesterday, Neal made the happy discovery that this gem is now available on iTunes.  He, of course, immediately purchased it and we watched it again last night.  I’ve forgotten just how funny Julie Brown can be.  This movie is so much fun.  The spoofs of Madonna’s songs are brilliant with Vague being the best.    We had a great time watching it.  The only sad thing is that there isn’t a CD or an iTunes download of just the songs.

Reality TV shows and the outrageous stunts people undertake to try to gain reality tv fame (think the Salahis and the balloon boy parents) make Julie Brown’s words in Vague even more true today — “Why they’re famous we don’t know. Paula Abdul has got to go. Vague.”
