Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful

Sometimes, the truth can be nasty

Runtime
51 min
ComedyMusicTV Movie

Synopsis

This made-for-Showtime television spoof of Madonna's *Truth or Dare* documentary features comedienne Julie Brown as Medusa, an egocentric, hyper-sexual (and not particularly talented) pop star on an international five-day world tour titled "The Blonde Leading the Blonde." Brown meticulously replicates costumes, sets, and hairstyles while satirizing Madonna's apparent self-obsession. In the documentary, Madonna visits the cemetery where her mother is buried; in the parody, Medusa visits the pet cemetery where her dog, either Buster or Boomer, is buried. Madonna performs fellatio on a bottle at the dare of a friend; Medusa does the same on a watermelon. And so on.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
