Episode 317: Season 14 Episode 3 - A Pair Of Balls Jan 23, 2022

Show notes

This week we’re back to 14 queens, and just in time for not just one but two balls! With three categories each, that’s 42 looks on the runway. But frankly, most of the highlights for us this week were in the workroom. Whether it was the sisterly bonding over bugs and backstories, the TV ready banter or the emerging “What kind of teacher would she be?” energy, we could have focused on painting all day. Meanwhile a bittersweet twist is added in the form of 14 chocolate bars, one gold ticket and horn sound effect we just can’t get enough of.

Episode 317.5: NUANCE – Meet The Queens Of UK Vs The World Jan 22, 2022

Show notes

Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, is back this season for follow-up discussions and tangents on not only Season 14 but also the brand new UK vs the World season starting on February 1st! We’re kicking this week off by queening out on the 9 international queens returning (or in one queen’s case, moving to the other side of the judges panel) for some All Star style stunts and shenanigans. Then we catch up on some additional takes on that massive runway this week, send some love to the international seasons not featured in the upcoming season and imagine Michelle Visage as a Sesame Street neighbor.

To continue hearing Nuance each week, join us as a Matreon at the Sister Mary or OnlyMary’s level!

Episode 316: Season 14 Episode 2 – Big Opening No. 2 Jan 15, 2022

Show notes

The only thing better than one big opening is of course two big openings! This week seven more queens sashay into the cultural landscape of Drag Race, including of course the much discussed Miss Morphosis. We do have much to say about Maddy this week, from Ru’s interactions with her to the chords she didn’t quite strike in talent show. There’s also a brief rant/tangent on “And Just Like That” and the less said about “Schitt’s Creek” the better, but we also take a number of guesses at who these queens look like out of drag, we identify the goose of the season, queen out on the perils of Aunt DeJa and enjoy a brief but bittersweet case of Daya Betty.

Episode 315: Season 14 Episode 1 – Big Opening No. 1 Jan 08, 2022

Show notes

Season 14 kicks off with a split premiere featuring seven new queens, Best Supporting Lizzo, a talent show and a surprising number of quotes just waiting to be driven into the ground. (By either RuPaul or us.) While it’s taking the Jambalaya a bit to heat up, Kornbread comes in hot, sweet and gif-able from the get-go. Alyssa Hunter looks like quite a Chase but her air guitar doesn’t strike a chord, Bosco petals burlesque on the runway and great commentator energy in the talking heads, Kerrie jumps rope but could easily jump networks, Orion calls Ru on her hamburger phone but the connection is cut short and Willow Pill inspires an unfortunate amount of baby talk. (By both Ru and us.)

Episode 314: Season 14 – Meet The Queens Jan 01, 2022

Show notes

We’re kicking off what’s shaping up to be the draggiest year on television with Season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race! The competition premieres on January 7th, but this week we’re catching up on the newest batch of queens to enter both the workroom and the pop culture landscape of this show. Much has been said about the casting of Maddy Morphosis, and we have much to make of the topic, but we also have a baker’s dozen other amazing competitors, from the PNW’s Bosco to Kornbread Jete from LA, to feast on. There’s so many food puns this season, we may not have room for that magical RuPaul chocolate bar we keep hearing about…

Episode 313: The Mary Christmas Triple Feature Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

We couldn’t choose just one holiday movie to queen out on this year, so we chose three–an old favorite of ours, this year’s Popular Mainstream Gay Holiday Movie and a camp classic that is destined to be a future tradition. We’re starting with 2000’s “A Diva’s Christmas Carol,” featuring more than one alum of the Drag Race judges panel, a particularly thicc Bob Crachett and a bonkers final act. Then we move on to “Single All the Way,” with a questionable central love story saved by Jennifer Coolidge at her Christopher Guest best as Aunt Sandy. We wrap things up with 1988’s “Christmas at Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” featuring the absurdly subversive Paul Reubens and guest stars ranging from Joan Rivers, Grace Jones, Charo, Oprah, Magic Johnson, CHER, and more. (To say nothing of the gay undertones of Little Richard in the woods and all those fruit cakes!)

Episode 312: Dragula Season 4 – Episode 9+10: The Last Supper & Grand Finale Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

The time has come for the floor show we’ve all been waiting for. But it’s dinner before dessert as we catch up on the highlights of The Last Supper before breaking down the last 12 looks of the season from the first Top 4 of the series. Koco’s wisdom and Merrie’s glasses steal the show at the reunion and Saint’s unforgettable Filth look is a cat owner’s nightmare. Siggy keeps it glammy, Hoso for All Stars and congratulations to Dahli for a nearly impeccable run for the crown this season.

Episode 311: Dragula Season 4 – Episode 8: Killer Clowns Dec 10, 2021

Show notes

*Apologies for some occasional audio fuzz on the first half of the episode. Just trying to bring the filth this season!

Send in the clowns, it’s time for the final 4 to decide who are the big tops and who are the bozos of the bunch. But before this circus can start, there’s a trip to a dunk tank in the back alley hosted by none other than Merrie in a pair of slippers. Naturally. Bob the Drag Queen brings her brilliance to the judges box for a night of gumjobs, balloon mishaps, chicken sacrifice and, of course, mime stuff. The cauldron bubbles over one more time over who deserves to be in the Top 3 before they head to a nearby nature path full of familiar-ish faces to go kart it to the finish line.

Episode 310: BONUS! The Bitch Who Stole Christmas Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

Merry merry, Mary’s! RuPaul and Company are queening out for Christmas on VH1 in a campy, kooky and occasionally filthy send-up of Hallmark holiday movies. Ru iconically appears alone in front of a green screen for most of her screen time, but acts her holiday heart out. There’s a cavalcade of Drag Race alum, from first outs Jaymes Mansfield and Victoria Porkchop Parker in lead supporting roles to both Latrice and Mayhem in separate bus related cameos. Brooke Lynn Hytes does her best Russian Canadian, Ginger finds the Sharon Gless, Peppermint drives a taxi and then there’s Jan, who’s great, of course, because we love Jan. We spend quite a bit of time on a Justin Hartley related rabbit hole, sort of discuss the hubbub around the Season 14 Meet the Queens (but we’ll probably save that for Patreon), eventually find a connection to 1985’s “Summer Rental” and even work an “A League of Their Own” moment of appreciation into the conversation.

Episode 309: Dragula Season 4 – Episode 7: Exorsisters Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

The power of $100,000 and the title of Dragula compels the Top 5 to bring their acting chops to the main stage for the black box theater version of a horror movie challenge. Saint extinguishes her smoker’s voice and hops into Zavaleta’s iconic sweatshirt to play Mom 1, Dahli keeps Mom 2 on brand in white face paint, Siggy wrings the weird out of her four lines, Zavaleta gives us both Father and Sister, and Hoso possesses the coveted second win for the season as the demonic daughter. By some miracle, Saint ascends to safety this week, and Miss Z packs up her arts & crafts and leaves this haunted pre-school better than she found it.
