Episode 345: Drag Race All Stars 7 – Episode 4: Fairytale Justice Jun 05, 2022

Show notes

Once upon a time–this week, actually–the queens headed to court for an even more fantastical version of AS4’s “Jersey Justice.” (Judge Michelle Visage is still in leopard print.) We disagree WILDLY on this one, Mary’s, from Viv’s Little Red Lying Hood to Shea’s Halle Beary, and especially about Witch Theresa the Tuck and that porch of hers. We can agree that Jaida made the sharpest point on the runway (even if she doesn’t appear to be the sharpest crayon [pronounced “cran”] in the box this season). The judges take hyperbolic praise to a new level, Ru and Shea mix words, Jennifer Bowers Chapman plays it safe and Monet is the next queen to learn the secrets of the plunger…

Episode 344: Drag Race All Stars 7 – Episode 3: The Realness of Fortune Ball May 29, 2022

Show notes

This week’s Wheel of Fortune inspired ball has the queens spinning to develop alliances and whip up a global rainbow of destination inspired looks. Jaida wins the challenge, the lip sync and our hearts, Raja misses the Top 2 by a hair, Vanna White is a potentially puzzling guest, and the Before and After theme inspires our own increasingly stupid suggestions. Plus: lots of allusions to Survivor, a requisite Real Housewives reference, some Roxxxy Andrews love, and who we think is about to pop next week.

Episode 343.5: BONUS! Nuance: She Made a Video in Paris May 22, 2022

Show notes

We’re releasing Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, for free this week to kick off All Stars 7! We discuss the continued impact of Gia Gunn’s hapless and hopelessly quotable presence on Twitter, the refreshing release of the trailer for “Bros,” a couple unpopular opinions that didn’t totally make it to the main episodes, and finally, an extended All Star moment of appreciation, this week for Rusical rocking, whip smart Jaida Essence Hall and her bracket-winning performance as Madonna.

Join us on Patreon for a season of Nuance, plus our recaps of Drag Race Espana, flashback recaps of Season 3 and Season 8, deep dives into even juicier topics on OnlyMarys, and hours more of Matreon only episodes!

Episode 343: Drag Race All Stars 7 – Episode 2: Snatch Game May 22, 2022

Show notes

All Stars 7 wastes no time, oh at all, in dropping a second episode this week with a much anticipated and already legendary round of Snatch Game! Well, two rounds, actually, with all of the queens taking a page from the likes of Bob the Drag Queen and Nina West and serving two celebrity impressions. Jinkx Monsoon raises the bar to nearly unreachable heights with her Judy Garland, but her Natasha Lyonne is a solid opening act. Monet is a knockout as Mike Tyson, Raja transforms into a top Snatch Gamer, and Jaida’s perplexing Prince steals the show. Jinkx and the badge-blocked Trinity soar to the Top 2, but rumor has it Jinkx had this week in the bag and plunges Shea to a standstill.

Episode 342: Drag Race All Stars 7 – Episode 1: Legends May 22, 2022

Show notes

Winning is the new winning as eight previous crown-holders compete in an elimination-free season with a $200,000 cherry on top! This week is your standard lyrics and choreography challenge, but the charisma and enthusiasm in the workroom, the whip smart reads during the mini challenge and the royalty on the runway are the reason to watch. To say nothing of a masterclass from Naomi Campbell and the presence of Cameron Goddamn Diaz on the judges panel! We end with an Ell’ of a lip sync and the first block of the season!

Episode 340: A Case for Ballads May 08, 2022

Show notes

We’re singing a love song to ballads this week, Mary! And in particular, ballad lip syncs. We’re veering off of the usual Drag Race path to look at three amazing examples of what a ballad can be in a queen’s hands (or lips, as the case may be): the “Llorando” performance from “Mulholland Drive,” Sasha Colby living up to her reputation at Nightgowns, and Kennedy Goddamn Davenport going to the end of the road and back at The Oasis in San Francisco.

“Llorando”

“Sasha Colby – My Mind”

“Kennedy Davenport – End of the Road Medley”

Episode 339: Best Actress in a Rusical Bracket May 01, 2022

Show notes

Queens have been lip syncing and live singing in musical challenges nearly every season of Drag Race, but this week we’re doing a Mary-sized bracket to determine the very Best Actress in a Rusical! 64 queens are up for consideration, but only one can walk away with absolutely nothing but our continued love and respect. And don’t worry if you can’t possibly remember over five dozen different performances; this is like one of those Time Life Music Series commercials with plenty of clips to jog your memory. Expect a lot of highly emotional and subjective decisions, an embarrassment of snubs, and some intense deliberations. Welcome to the off-season, Mary!

Episode 338: Drag Race Season 14 Episode 16: Grand Finale! Apr 24, 2022

Show notes

It’s been a long journey since June went home in January, but Season 14 ends in Las Vegas on the stage of Drag Race Live. The final 5 are given Leland produced songs and some backup dancers to perform with for about a minute and change, which just means more time spent watching RuPaul avoid eye contact with nearly everybody. Symone brings denim to the winners circle, Kornbread gets a nice consolation prize, Michelle gets to present a key, and ultimately Camden and Willow face off in a final performance that all felt very pre-determined. All hail Queen Pill, the people-hating, 1999-referencing, spaghetti bathing drag superstar we need in 2022.

Episode 337: Drag Race Season 14 Episode 15: Reunited! Apr 17, 2022

Show notes

The queens catch up before we wrap up the season, and we are reminded of the early outs we haven’t seen in months. Jasmine Kennedie takes a show-stealing role as the central point of interest for at least half of the reunion, Kornbread looks in a look, Daya has a Housewives reunion strategy, Angie has the most to drink, Kerri is officially called Narrator of the season, Maddy gets it in the boot, Orion tells a different story online, Bosco serves Cracker and June knows Bread.
