Episode 136: Drag Race Season 7 – Ru Hollywood Stories (w/ Nick Kochanov!) Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

Merle's back on the judges panel and Nick Kochanov is back on Alright Mary! This week's wonky acting challenge includes Ginger in her element, Fame akimbo, Kennedy serving Twin Peaks realness and Kandy somehow still in this competition. Jaidynn gets an underdog story while Pearl gets away with murder on the runway, Max dares to go gray another day and Katya continues to give citrus-clutching brilliance in the confessionals.

Episode 135: RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 7 – The Despy Awards Nov 25, 2018

Show notes

Do I have something on my face? The queens compete in a mock awards ceremony showing off their banter skills in this week's Despy Awards episode. Kasha Davis shines as Joan Rivers before flubbing one word during the challenge, Katya's grapefruits over PearlGate are the size of pumpkins, and Max emerges as the kind-media queen we were looking for. Does RuPaul go in too deep to create drama within Pearl or is Pearl just not getting the "reality tv" part of this show? Colin and Johnny weigh in.

Episode 134: Drag Race Season 7 – Spoof! (There It Is) Nov 18, 2018

Show notes

The queens are serving their best Weird Al realness in this week's song parody challenge. While none of them are chart toppers, Jaidynn sails through with her Bianca del Rio impression, Katya shines as a peeling beach bum and Kennedy turns out Ru's favorite nuances for the win. Meanwhile, Kandy's not selling it and Pearl's toast from the get-go, but in a season shocker, a fan favorite it sent sashaying off into the sunset instead...

Episode 133: Drag Race Season 7 – Shakesqueer With Nick Kochanov Nov 11, 2018

Show notes

Good now, Maid Mary! This week, Nick Kochanov from Squirrel Friends Cocktail Hour puts on his best Colin Drucker drag and joins Johnny in recapping the infamous car-crash, Shakesqueer! They dive into the "goddamn excuses" F-bomb dropped by Mama Ru, praise the game of Pearl Pinball happening during the challenge, uncover Kennedy Davenport’s "much ado" defense mechanism when interacting with Violet, and of course dish on the binary created by the bitter old lady brigade and the young queens. We hope it’s as you like it because otherwise we’re "shrew”-ed!

Episode 132: Drag Race Season 7 – Glamazonian Airways Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Welcome aboard, Mary! Lip-syncing challenges, from Season 5's Lipsync Extravaganza to Season 10's Pharmarusical, are a Drag Race standard. Glamazonian Airways is definitely one of the stronger of the bunch. (Better than Bitch Perfect? We'll discuss.) We also cover Miss Fame's brand, Katya's confessional body language, Kasha's scene stealing, Trixie's glasses, Jaidynn's knee and Sasha's boob.

Episode 131: BONUS! Hocus Pocus Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

Happy Halloween, Mary's! We are FINALLY queening out on 1993's "Hocus Pocus," which is less ooky spooky and more campy vampy, with Matreon alums Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker putting a spell on queers and queens the world over as the Sanderson Sisters. But we spend plenty of time discussing Max's maximum cringe factor, Dani's precarious precociousness, Allison's age and how hot the dad was. (And the bus driver and the fake cop.) By the way, did you know Max was a virgin?

Episode 130: Drag Race Season 7 – Born Naked Oct 28, 2018

Show notes

We're HERE, Mary's! H-E-R-E! Season 7 may have been a bit of a slog for everyone the first time around, but in retrospect it's a season of stars! This week we say hello to some favorites--Katya, Trixie, Jasmine, Kasha, Kennedy, and of course, Miss Kandy Ho in the MF'ing house--and keep our queer eyes on queens like Pearl and Miss Fame. The episode is a parade of looks with little precious workroom banter, but Katya emerges quickly as the narrator and Violet shines despite a thorny start. We Mary out on Michelle unnecessarily clocking a bit of boy on the runway, Trixie evolving from outcast to All Star and Jasmine being stoned in the workroom, before bidding a saggy, soggy adieu to Tempest DuJour.

Episode 129: BONUS! An Afternoon with Biqtch Puddin Oct 25, 2018

Show notes

Our favorite part of Dragula is how much heart the show has (under all the grime and guts), and no one is a better example of that than the current reigning supermonster, Biqtch Puddin. We spent a cozy October afternoon chatting with the Season 2 winner about everything from carving out a unique career path to the perks of picking up tricks in Brooklyn. We got all the gory details on some of the her most memorable looks ("Hey Fred!") and queened out on drag icons like the Boulet Brothers, Disasterina and JonBenet Ramsey.
