Episode 273: Dida Ritz Shuts it Down at the Scorpio Charlotte, A Deep Dive May 24, 2021

Show notes

We have been referencing this on the podcast for years and finally needed to give it its own episode. There is a video from 2012 of Dida Ritz performing at The Scorpio in Charlotte that we can’t stop queening out about. We spent 45 minutes breaking down (shutting it down, if you will) this epic 7 and a half minute performance. The truth is, we could have gone on longer.

To get access to the rest of the season plus our OnlyMary’s discussions, DRUK S2 recap, campy queer movie classics and more, become a Matreon at Patreon.com/alrightmary Drag Race has been putting queens in rival girl groups since the very beginning and Down Under is no exception. This week the remaining eight are split off to write and record lyrics and come up with “choree” for the latest Leland production of “Queens Down Under.” While Scarlet is the starlet of the week, Elektra blows a fuse out-dancing the rest of her group and Coco takes a jumbo risk by singing, landing them both in the bottom. But the more important matter at hand is—who wrote the note?

Episode 269: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 – The Finale, Pippin Apr 25, 2021

Show notes

Season 13’s long journey comes to a conclusion with one of the most surreal episodes of Drag Race. We got a parking lot full of people performing canned reactions while Jaida weaves through the cars peddling Bubly seltzer, RuPaul step-touching for her life, the Top 4 lipsyncing in and out of drag to Bette Midler’s “Friends,” Rosé’s Act One Ankle, Gottmik’s Mockingjay moments, Kandy’s flawed flag reveal and Symone helicoptering and hand acting her way to the crown.

Episode 268: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 – The Reunion Apr 18, 2021

Show notes

The Zoom reunion format is back for Season 13–except this time Ru isn’t even talking live to the queens in a facekini. We do get a lot of time with the cast, including music videos from each of the runners-up, 69 Questions and a “bubbly” ad with the Top 4, and a lip sync for a good cause with this season’s assassins. And while we miss the live format, we don’t miss the cringe of it all and appreciate the opportunity for each queen to shine one more time before another season rolls into town.

Episode 267: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 – The Lucky Top 4 Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

While the Top 4 are Y-O-U-R-E Lucky this week, Colin was not when it comes to travel plans this weekend so apologies for the delayed episode and potato quality audio. Nevertheless, we queened out on report cards, the significance of Gottmik and her impact on Ru, Symone and Reggie, and the best Top 4 numbers and where Lucky falls in the ranking. Plus, Kandy’s ghost, Rosé’s interview, talking through tears and our predictions for the finale.

Episode 266: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 – The Top 5 Apr 04, 2021

Show notes

The final five are green screen queens for this week’s schlocky sci-fi acting challenge. They typecast themselves in semi-familiar roles, to the benefit of Gottmik, Rosé and Symone, any of whom could have won. (But did the right queen win?) Kandy is sticky in the challenge (and sour on the runway) and Olivia’s light starts to flicker. We enjoy a visit from the ever versatile Scarlett Johansson, discuss formative gay representation from our youths, bask in the beauty of Cynthia Erivo, highlight some gold standard talking through tears and break down the tricky nuances of “being yourself” in this competition.

Episode 265: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 – Nice Girls Roast Mar 28, 2021

Show notes

It’s often said that no one is safe at a roast, chickens—but that’s especially true this week whenever Utica is on stage. There are mostly groans for Symone, Olivia lacks, Gottmik gets it, Rosé continues to rise and Kandy can and does, finally securing a win this season. We look back on roasts past, discuss the online backlash to Utica, identify at least 10 branding and retail opportunities for Olivia, and welcome two new iconic fingers of Drag Race to the canon.

Episode 264: RuPaul’s Drag Race S13 E11 – Pop Goes the Queen Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

Come on Season 13, let’s get carbonated! This week the Top 7 are selling branded soft drinks. Symone bubbles to the top once again, but have we tasted this flavor before? Rosé is refreshingly imperfect, Kandy could add more sugar, Utica’s brand starts to fizzle, Gottmik gives a mixed mixer, Olivia is perhaps too effervescent, and Tina unfortunately just falls flat.
