Episode 245: Drag Race Holland Ep5 – Snatch Game Oct 18, 2020

Show notes

The six queens standing face off in Holland’s first Snatch Game this week. While we didn’t recognize anyone except ChelseaBoy’s fully committed Joe Exotic, Envy Peru pulled out all the stops (and a hose) to get her third win of the season. Sederginne’s Mega Mindy was mega muddled and her multiple muppets on the runway weren’t going to be taking Amsterdam anytime soon, sending her to the bottom with de facto lip sync assassin Abby OMG for a surprise elimination. All that being said, we have quite a lot to say about an imaginary Halloween party full of moms and MaMa Queen.

Episode 244: Drag Race Holland Ep4 – Dancing Queens Oct 11, 2020

Show notes

Strike a pose, there’s nothing to it. Except there’s in fact a lot to it, as Holland’s Top 7 discover in this week’s vogueing challenge. No one is getting 10’s across the board this episode, which is probably why we spend a good amount of time talking about Lifetime movies. On the runway, Envy and Janey are queens of the same feather, Sederginne is pissed, ChelseaBoy continues to be a treasure, and Madame Baldness shaves her beard off in a last ditch effort to stay in the competition.

Episode 242: Drag Race Holland E3 – Drama Queens Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

It’s Desperate Housequeens this week as our remaining eight Dutch divas ham and cheese it up for the first acting challenge of the season. But not before eating cakes on a clothesline and squatting over glass bottles in a Queens Day inspired mini challenge. ChelseaBoy blows us away on the runway (and in the workroom with her evolved take on drag), Sederginne’s hay queen doesn’t quite stack up with her acting chops, Janey’s melting freezer bags didn’t make us wet, Madame Madness makes a moo-stake with that cow couture, Abby wilts, and Megan purses her tulips and windmills out of the competition this week.

Episode 241.5 – *BONUS* The Generous Gift of Pen15 Season 2 Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

In this week’s free-skate Patreon episode, we couldn’t not sit down and talk about the first seven episodes of Pen15 Season 2. Our hearts are all aflutter to see a gay coming of age storyline with Gabe that feels so honest and rooted in so much truth. We queen out over Maya and Anna’s brilliance when it comes to sex shaming, boy sleepovers, school play occurrences and cast parties, other friends’ parents, and pool parties. We praise this season’s new tone of heavier, unresolved traumas including all that went into Maura’s storyline. And incase it goes without saying, “Mommy. Mommy! Mommy bring me water, bring me turnips.” Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com

Episode 241: Drag Race Holland Ep2 – Give Face! Sep 27, 2020

Show notes

The queens get physical this week for a dragged out workout challenge, but not before clogging the workroom and stirring up some classic high school gym class trauma while picking teams. We have a lot to say on the topic, plus: an extended take on the name Megan, escaping an Andrea, overcoming some tough Australians, little sister Abby, our ever-deepening love for potential pizza queen Sederginne, continued appreciation for ChelseaBoy, and of course that bore of a Roar that sent Patty pack-packing.

Episode 240: Drag Race Holland Ep1 – Land of the Queens Sep 20, 2020

Show notes

The race is on in the Netherlands for the next Dutch drag superstar! Drag Race Holland runs the familiar course of a pilot episode, introducing 10 new queens to the workroom for a relay of entrance lines, photo shoots, and runway looks. Despite a predictable ride, we’re already excited by Madame Madness’s beard, Miss Abby OMG’s name, and Sederginne in and out of drag. We can’t say we fully agreed with the judges (one especially!) or fully understood the banter (what’s that about chocolate cake?), and we were sorry to see Roem check out so early, but it was a fun first lap around the track.

Episode 239: Canada’s Drag Race Ep9 – You Wear It Well Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

Canada continues to keep us guessing down to the last lap! The Top 3 march the familiar paces of a finale challenge, with interviews, recording sessions and choreography rehearsals leading to a final floor show for their eliminated co-stars and just-family panel of judges. While Scarlett’s lip synch, Rita’s singing, and Priyanka’s runway win the competition this week, we talk about not comparing queens while comparing a lot of queens and tangent onto Vegas Revue, participators, Dutch pancakes, queer as a catch-all, and some brewing excitement for Drag Race Holland.

Episode 238: Canada’s Drag Race Ep9 – The Snow Ball Sep 13, 2020

Show notes

We’ve seen the queens shivering through Untucked all season, but things get especially chilly this week as the final four bundle up for The Snow Ball. While the mini-challenge was a delightfully mild Act One, much of our attention this week went to the blizzard of confounding decisions made on the runway, both from the queens and the judges. We also have much to say about WoW’s response to the JBC backlash on social media, where “standom” comes from, the importance of reading, CDR’s moment of appreciation for ball culture, and of course, the much welcomed presence of a familiar face, Michelle Visage.

Episode 237: Canada’s Drag Race Ep8 – Welcome to the Family Sep 06, 2020

Show notes

The final five find family resemblance in a quintet of brave new Canadians for this week’s makeover challenge. While the judges understandably soured on Lemon and Lime and were not amused by the Baga sisters’ clowning around, the mumbo jumbo judgment of Jimbo and Bimbo left us in limbo. The Bobos’ were so-so while Priyanka and Elektra floated to the top in Mardi Gras costumes. At least we finally got an Alanis lip sync. Already up to date with Canada’s Drag Race? So are we!

Episode 236: Canada’s Drag Race Ep7 – Miss Loose Jaw Aug 30, 2020

Show notes

Canada is pulling the padge for this week’s maxi improv challenge, the Miss Loose Jaw pageant. Lemon’s appeal continues to show as she immerses herself into the character of Miss Fitts, Jimbo deepthroats a microphone as the town pump, Priyanka labors to bring her pregnant persona to life, Scarlett bangs out another safe placement in the competition, Rita doesn’t quite bag it this week, and Ilona paints herself into a corner. We also have much to say about Rita’s big mom energy, Jimbo’s meltdown, Scarlett’s BSA-ness, the pizza queen energy in the room and VH1 Movies That Rock. Already up to date with Canada’s Drag Race?
