OUR LADY OF THE ENSEMBLE: MADONNA in BLOODHOUNDS OF BROADWAY and A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN with MERRY GRISSOM
Episode 44
Friday, 27 February, 2026
“I like to be a team player. All the projects I do are collaborations. And I want to solicit the opinions and help of other people.” — MadonnaIn this episode we explore Madonna’s work as part of an ensemble, where her screen presence shifts from center stage to something looser, sharper, and often more playful.First we visit Bloodhounds of Broadway, a strange, stylish Prohibition-era anthology packed with eccentrics, jazz, and theatrical energy. Madonna appears as Hortense Hathaway, drifting through smoky nightclubs and overlapping storylines in a film that feels less like a traditional movie and more like a late-night fever dream.Then we head to A League of Their Own, where Madonna’s Mae Mordabito steals scenes with confidence, comedy, and unforgettable locker-room energy. We talk about why this role works so well for her, how the film balances multiple storylines, and what it reveals about Madonna as a character actor inside a beloved ensemble classic. To help us unpack the film’s tone, performances, and where Madonna fits inside its chaos, we’re joined once again by friend of the pod (check her out in our episode on Dick Tracey), MERRY GRISSOM! Merry helps us look at each film’s legacy, their cultural impact, and the raw star power of Madonna.Email us: TheCelebrationCelebration@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram: @TheCelebrationCelebrationPick up a copy of Eric’s book: The Dancerhttps://a.co/d/0gAi3bePick up a copy of John's book: Baked!
