Episode 235: Canada’s Drag Race Ep6 – Star Sixty-Nine Aug 23, 2020

Show notes

This week’s episode is all about bad advice—whether it’s from shammy psychics in the mini challenge, lunatic late night lawyers in the maxi challenge, or flawed feedback from the judges on the runway. Lemon continues to bring great flavor to this season, Jimbo and Rita harken back to frontrunners from the early days of Drag Race, Tom Green calls his mother, and BOA spreads her enormous wings and flies away.

Episode 234.5: We Love You, Chi Chi DeVayne Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

Chi Chi DeVayne has always been an Alright Mary favorite. While we are heartbroken to lose such a bright light in the Drag Race community, we also wanted to celebrate some of our favorite memories of the bayou queen this week. We discuss her iconic looks (including the bathing suit, no corset, and a belt!), hilarious quotes, obscure references (Eraser, baby!), her infamous USB drive, her relationship with Kennedy, and how it feels to grieve someone you don’t know but feel deeply invested in.

Episode 234: Canada’s Drag Race Ep5 – Snatch Game Aug 16, 2020

Show notes

It’s not a season without Snatch Game and despite an all-American panel of celebrities, the queens of the north did Canada proud. Jimbo gave us the Joan Rivers we’ve been waiting for, Rita Baga delivered a living, breathing, dying depiction of Edith Piaf, Lemon squeezed every nuance she could out of her JoJo Siwa, and Scarlett was Liza with a Z and the occasional FU. A night of a thousand “Ce-lynns” on the runway was maybe 999 too many and Priyanka and Kiara seemed to lip sync all night before Ki Ki said bye-bye to the competition.

Episode 233: Canada’s Drag Race Ep4 – Single Use Queens Aug 09, 2020

Show notes

There’s always that moment during a season when different elements click and we’re left with a completely satisfying episode. This week, CDR recycles some old storylines amidst a favorite reality show challenge and creates something new. We get a refreshing mini challenge, fantastic adjudication from a judge, talking through tears, a new way to think about the pressure of being “iced out”, and a last chance lip sync that was worthy of anyone’s Memorable list. Did we agree with the judges? Absolutely not. Garbage decisions. But every judge’s trash is a viewer’s treasure. Already up to date with Canada’s Drag Race? So are we!

Episode 232: Canada’s Drag Race Ep3 – Not Sorry Aboot It Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

This week, in line with the chaotic charm of Canada’s Drag Race, Johnny has a laughing fit about Colin’s Suspiria reference and is actually sorry aboot it. They discuss why the rap battle didn’t work visually, how Debbie Cox was definitely supposed to be here, and why the lip sync was absolutely not everything. They dabble in a discussion about Illona’s rising charm, why Jimbo is a pizza sandwich, and who their predictions are going forward. One thing’s certain: we’re getting more and more attached to these queens and we were not ready to send one certain star home. Already up to date with Canada’s Drag Race? So are we!

Episode 231: Canada’s Drag Race E2 – Her-itage Moments Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

This week, the Top 11 Canuck Queens are drawing inspiration from historical moments in television–specifically the infamous Heritage Minutes. (Recorded July 10, 2020). From burnt toast to suffragettes, Canada’s aspiring next drag superstars continue to bring what can only be described as a pure chaotic energy to this acting challenge. We continue to have much to still figure out about our distinguished panel of judges–we’re not exactly loonie yet for Brooke Lynn Heights as Mother. Anastarzia breaks out heart in the workroom, BOA keeps it refreshingly real, Lemon squeezes ahead as a frontrunner, Jimbo towers over the runway and Kyne has a moment.

Episode 230: Canada’s Drag Race E1 – Eh-leganza Eh-xtravaganza Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

The Queen of the North has arrived and she’s blowing in 12 new drag geese to pass the puck around in Canada’s first season of Drag Race. (Recorded July 3, 2020.) We fall in love with a queen named Jimbo and all of the performance that surrounds her, we make baseless predictions and judgements about the rest of the cast that we can’t wait to be proven wrong, and we spend some time on what parts of this show are departures from the original franchise. We definitely disagree with the judges on the tops and bottoms, but I think we can all agree that we love Canada. How could you blame her? Already up to date with Canada’s Drag Race? So are we!

Episode 229: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 – Season Finale Jul 26, 2020

Show notes

Shea Couleé did say she came to slay, and she more than kept her word this season and most certainly in this finale. As is tradition, the Top 3 write thematic verses for a new Ru song and learn a whirlwind of choreography from Todrick Hall. But not before clearing an agenda of beefs with the eliminated queens who’ve returned for a mini reunion in the workroom (turns out, India was lying). All 10 queens bring their finale looks to the runway and we get a triple lip sync to Janelle Monáe that makes us feel good, if not a little dizzy from the edit (Good thing Mrs. Mateo is there to cheer the girls on!). And while Juju gave great mouth and Cracker distributed confusion from her breastplate, this lip sync, this episode, and this season were Shea’s to win.

Episode 228: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 – Comedy Smackdown Jul 19, 2020

Show notes

A wise drag queen once famously asked, “Where are the jokes?” Our final four attempted to answer that question in this week’s stand up challenge that left us sitting quietly for much of it. Cracker got the most cackles of the night and Shea did okay. Juju was better on the runway than the mic, and Blair, to be fair, looked a little lost up there. Despite some poorly timed laryngitis, Jane Krakowski was a great warmup act for the queens as mentor/judge, and hardly choked as much as this lip sync. Did they just bring Kennedy back for S&Gs?

Episode 227: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 5 – Backyard BBQ Ball Jul 12, 2020

Show notes

What’s a family barbecue without drama, suspicion, tears and at least one very questionable exit? The top 5 are tasked to bring a main and a side to RuPaul’s Backyard Barbecue Ball. Cracker is shuttlecocked to win the challenge, but it’s Jujubee who continues to win our hearts in the workroom. We aren’t quite ready to say “I do” to Shea’s backyard bride, Blair isn’t our pick of the picnic and Alexis Mateo sashays away in a shallow end to her time on this season. Roxxxy Andrews puts both asses in the word assassin and our pizza queen supreme taps her way into the Fingers of Drag Race hall of fame.
