Truth or Dare

Todd: There was only one movie that was ever gonna serve Madonna well, and that would be a movie whose subject matter was Madonna.

Beginning of Truth or Dare

Todd (VO): Because Madonna is the defining pop star of my lifetime. Modern pop culture simply doesn't make sense if you don't get her influence on it. And the documentary about her, Truth or Dare, came out at a perfect time because there has never in my life been any entertainer anywhere as famous as Madonna was in 1991.

Todd: Like, I can't even think of anyone who comes close. [Respective picturs of...] Maybe Britney Spears; maybe Eminem; maybe, way on the outside, Beyonce; maybe Kurt Cobain, but only after he died.

Todd (VO): So if I had to recommend only one Madonna movie, I'd make it Truth or Dare, because it is the most significant. Madonna is such an icon that we need a big-scale documentary like this to capture it, and to capture the real person behind the image.

Todd: And as it turns out, as a person, Madonna...kinda sucks.
