In this episode, Eric delves into Madonna’s early life and career beginnings, including her formation and departure from the band The Breakfast Club and her slight connection to the hot mess that is Disney Channel's Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme. He also discusses the release of Madonna's early singles "Everybody" and "Burnin' Up," and the influence of her image on Disney's Totally Minnie TV special. The episode highlights the significance of the Minnie Mouse ears photo during the "Like a Prayer" era and Madonna's role in Disney’s Dick Tracy, along with the associated album "I'm Breathless." Eric explains the inspiration behind the hit song "Vogue" and Madonna’s starring role in Disney's Evita and its soundtrack. He touches on Madonna’s music featured in various Disney projects, including DTV and Marvel’s Deadpool and Wolverine, and shares the story of Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy’s pursuit of Madonna’s "Like a Prayer" for the film. Join Eric as he uncovers how Madonna's career interweaves with Disney’s magic, setting the stage for future episodes on Michael Jackson and Prince.
Correction: 09:59 It was 1990 not 1992...Sorry bout that!
