Aubrey Plaza doesn’t have to justify her love for Patti LuPone’s IDGAF vibes. Particularly when it comes to her opinions about Madonna.
Last week, the two actors — who co-star in the upcoming Marvel mini-series “Agatha All Along” — sat down for “Hot Ones Versus,” and things got a little spicy on Plaza’s end.
The premise of the First We Feast YouTube series is that both participants have to ask each other personal questions from a stack of cards. A participant can choose to answer the question truthfully or eat a scotching wing instead. (HuffPost and First We Feast share a partner company, BuzzFeed.)
About eight minutes into the episode, Plaza flips over a card to ask the Broadway legend a question and immediately laughs in a way that seems to suggest she’s thrilled by the potential drama the question may stir up.
“I don’t know how this is going to go,” the “Parks and Recreation” alum admits before reading the question that was about the Material Girl.
In a notorious 2017 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” LuPone did not hold back while expressing her opinion of Madonna’s performance in the 1996 movie “Evita.” LuPone played the title role in the original Broadway production.
“I thought it was a piece of shit,” LuPone said of the movie to host Andy Cohen. “Madonna is a movie killer. She’s dead behind the eyes. She couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. She should not be on film or on stage. She’s a wonderful performer for what she does, but she is not an actress.”
Plaza’s card on “Hot Ones Versus” asked LuPone to “look into the camera and apologize to the pop icon or eat a death wing.”
In response to the question, LuPone defiantly looked into the camera, grabbed a chicken wing and bit a huge chunk out of it.
“I knew it, I fucking knew it!” Plaza responded excitedly as LuPone continued to eat large bites of the wing.
“You are sick,” Plaza said sensually. “I’m in love with you, I’m in love with you. I love you.”
“I just love you,” Plaza continued. “Birth me. Put me inside of you and pull me out.”
After Plaza calmed down a bit, LuPone went on to double down on her not-so-flattering opinion of Madge.
“I’ve seen her onstage and I saw her in a movie and went, ‘Um, OK?’” LuPone said of Madonna. “Ya know, there’s just some things people can’t do and you just got to admit you can’t do it, that’s all. Or don’t even try it. Everybody can’t do everything.”
“Marry me,” Plaza said in response.
“Like Kim fucking Kardashian,” LuPone suddenly said, a bit heated. “OK, can we go there? Or shall I eat a wing?”
“Hot Ones Versus” did not have any specific questions about Kardashian, but LuPone has previously made her outlook on the reality star abundantly clear.
When the Skims founder was cast in Ryan Murphy’s long-running FX series “American Horror Story” last year, LuPone expressed disgust with the casting choice on yet another episode of “Watch What Happens Live.” She implied to Cohen at the time that she felt Kardashian was taking a job away from a real actor.
“You know, excuse me, excuse me, Kim. You know, what are you doing with your life?” LuPone said. “Don’t get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington.”

Mrs. Worthington is a reference to a Great Depression-era song by Noël Coward in which he begs a stage mom, “Don’t put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington.”
