  • Episode 7: I Wanna Kiss You In Paris. Madonna's 'Justify My Love' Video 1990
    Jul 16 2024

    Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we cast the Problematic lens over Madonna's 1990 music video for Justify My Love.

    Madonna caused another commotion with the release of this video. But looking back on it, did it really warrant the moral backlash and slut shaming it received?
    Also, what would Cilla Black's version of this song sound like? And Lee, why don't you tell us how you really feel about football!
