Episode 454: Drag Race All Stars 9 Ep 5: Property Queens Jun 09, 2024

Show notes

Roxxxy Andrews more than earns her commission in the final minutes of this week’s episode. After a series of real estate commercials that weren’t necessarily fighting off bidders, some workroom drama about Florida accents, Jorgeous's Mommy and me moment on the runway and a pretty hairy lip sync, an anguished blind crab walk was just what this episode needed to continue to sell us on this absurd telethon pitting charities against one another. Also, the Teletubbies show up and we have some very strong opinions on real estate agency branding, silly straight boys and of course, Shannel.

Episode 453: Drag Race All Stars 9 - Ep 4: Smokin' Hot Firefighter Makeovers Jun 02, 2024

Show notes

Makeovers meets the girl group challenge with a healthy dose of daddy issues in this week’s episode. We have much to say about Shannel, including the fact that she is iconically badgeless, not as much to say about alliances and cliques and lots of feelings about that pole dancer, Ross’s commitment to making/not losing these references, and why All Stars needs more stars.

Episode 452: Drag Race All Stars 9 - Ep 3: Snatch Game of Love May 27, 2024

Show notes

We get twice the tickled ivories this week when two Liberaces show up on Snatch Game of Love. Personally, we have dibs on Marla Gibbs and whatever she’s got in that shoulder bag. Thanks to Shannel, we spend some necessary time on both the expression and the movie “in the cut” and Jorgeous inspires us to revisit an internet legend. We also figure out who Roxxxy looks like in her confessionals, and of course can’t resist a tangent on Terrence. Inevitably we end up talking at some point about Vanjie’s fever dream of a WOW+ dating show again, but we also cover the night of 1000 reveals, Gottmik running away with the runway theme and the perils of doing imaginary characters on Snatch Game.

Episode 451: Drag Race All Stars 9 - Ep 1 & 2: Drag Queens Save the World / The Paint Ball May 19, 2024

Show notes

Sisters are doing it for charity this season of All Stars, and the stakes have never been lower! But honestly, it’s kind of nice to just watch a variety show for the next couple months, especially with a cast this solid. Episodes 1 and 2 both dropped in the wee hours of the morning so we’re covering both in a supersized episode this week. We got two hours of familiar faces reading, singing, dancing, sewing, painting, literally painting, lip syncing and scissoring one another and we can’t really complain, except maybe it could have been shorter? (Here comes that Change.org petition.) We’d like to know so much more about Shannel’s Christmas house. Also, Roxxxy Fucking Andrews, a very important moment of appreciation for Shelly Williams, a look back at our own art histories, a potential Jump in the Line bracket and the power of a hanky.

Episode 450: Patreon Preview - Cruel Intentions (1999) Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

This week, we're bringing you the first 20 minutes of our discussion about a movie that must be included in the gay canon! If you want to hear the rest of the discussion, check out the link to our Patreon below!

*Cruel Intentions* (1999) may mostly be about the heterosexual pursuits of Manhattan’s filthiest and richest, but it’s overwhelmingly queer coded. The cast includes Buffy Summers, Tracy Flick, Joshua Jackson with a box dye job, a cadre of older character actresses in supporting roles, a Tara Reid cameo, Selma Blair casually stealing the movie and even Eric Mabius as the Gregster. Plus Ryan Philippe’s butt, the spittle string when Kathryn and Cecile famously French kiss in the park, a soundtrack with zero skips, and a deeply satisfying female empowerment ending to the tune of “Bittersweet Symphony.”

Episode 449: Drag Race S16 Ep 16 - Grand Finale Apr 21, 2024

Show notes

It’s time for Ru to pack up the pink limousine and peel out, but first—an uncanny valley version of a live finale! The Top 3 perform signature songs we’ve never heard before, and two of them are actually pretty great while one of them is sort of growing on us. (On an unrelated note, we do a full autopsy of “Bodysuit” this week.) We get some much welcomed mompreciation, plus Mrs. Wind and Mrs. Cristàl, Malaysia Babydoll Eagle, Sasha Colby (SASHA COLBY, Donna TaDonna) being She Her Hers, and finally, a “Padam Padam” lip sync on Drag Race between a vampire from Philadelphia and a boba-filled banana lady.

Episode 448: Drag Race S16 Ep 15 - LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown - Reunited Apr 14, 2024

Show notes

Instead of hashing out old fights while perched on stadium arranged bar stools on either side of the stage, the queens of Season 16 are reuniting to face off in a lip sync bracket for $50,000 and, in Megami’s case, a total rudemption arc. It’s a brand new stage (from Secret Celebrity Drag Race?), a playlist of top tier lip sync songs, Bruno just happy to be there, some girl in the audience high off her heels, and an opportunity for the top three to sit back and be judgey gays in the workroom while the best of the rest put on one of the most entertaining episodes of Drag Race ever.

Episode 447: Drag Race S16 Ep 14 - Booked & Blessed Apr 07, 2024

Show notes

The workroom becomes a writers retreat this week as the top four put pen to paper, photo to book cover and personality to podcast for a memoir-able final lap before the finale. Oh and there’s some casual waterboarding during the mini challenge, but at least it comes with a trip to Puerto Vallarta! Nymphia discusses the challenges of meeting Western beauty standards with Matt Rogers, Sapphira slues her way to the top, Q takes a bite out of soup, Plane finally descends to the bottom 2 and RuPaul gets his life as director of those photo shoots.
