We are midway through the season and it's midterm elections this week as the queens take a stance on important political issues like padding, foreskin and clown inclusion. Myki is on the MF’ing rise, Darlene puts on a show in her bedroom, Discord hits the right notes, Jane continues to do, Athena is a little bit Alexis, and Veeta’s bags are packed. We indeed can’t keep our eyes off Juicy, but is a Dion Dynasty still headed for the finale or is the Florida vote swinging in a different direction now? Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recaps of Season 4 & 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

The tables are turned this week as the raters become the rated for part two of the talent show. We get thirty minutes of Ciara deciding she can most likely beat Discord in a lip sync and hoping to sway the votes that way. Meanwhile the Dions are keeping all of the wins in the family, the judges are not pleased with Kenya, and Myki almost loses more than a finger before clearing Miss Myst from the competition.Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recaps of Season 4 & 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

It’s Part One (“PART ONE?!” - Kenya Pleaser) of the talent show judged entirely by other queens in the room via the unsinkable Rate-A-Queen device. There’s a lot of strategizing but very little surprises as the movers from Miami outrank 60 seconds of physical therapy, an earnest poem, Darlene, and alas, Nini’s gecko. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recaps of Season 4 & 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Pre-recorded from Simi Valley, it’s RDR Live! Third time’s not quite the charm, but the night is nearly saved by Michelle’s towel acting. Then it’s a zoo on the runway, and a good night for at least one of the Dions.

This week, we begin our discussions about The Traitors Season 4 in the US and over across the pond in the UK. In the US, the Housewives make their presence known as faithfuls and as traitors in the castle as a group you don’t want to cross. They are up against a Dylan Efron wannabe, dwindling gamers, and a loud mouth who is ruining the game for everyone else, but the real debate is around the production flub of the Secret Traitor and what might have gone wrong. In the UK, they are all playing the game much better where the stakes seem to be higher, the cast is more nuanced and interesting, and the latest episodes hold some of the most riveting Traitor TV the franchise has produced yet! Timestamps:00:00:00 - Traitors US Eps 1 - 300:46:14 - Traitors UK Eps 1 - 6Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to the rest of our Traitors Season 4 discussions, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

It’s time for the girls to get into groups, cause it’s a girl group challenge! Punk, pop and disco duke it out for the best eight count verse and least fumbled choreography, which puts the cleverest queen and the one who was a backup dancer for Britney Spears in the Top 2 and and results in a disco inferno for Diane Fuego and Amanda Mango dressed as a side table. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recaps of Season 4 & 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Drag Race kicks off its 18th season with some of the oldest bitches in the cut. (Okay, 8 of them are in their 30s.) We get an extended Florida family reunion of the Love Dions and Aunt Starr, a biter from Boston, Trash reclaimed and renamed Darlene, some disrupted Discord, a former mechanical engineer bagging the lip sync and Kenya Pleaser literally trapped in her skirt. Cardi B gets an A as guest judge, Jamal Sims appears on screen to watch the girls reenact Scream 2, and in a dystopian twist it turns out the whole thing runs on the blood, sweat and farts of Bob, Kim and Raja on stationary bikes in a basement bunker. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

I don’t know about you Miss Kitty, but Batman Returns is feeling so much gayer. This unofficial Christmas movie about the Penguin’s rise, Catwoman’s coming out and Bruce Wayne’s need to come out all takes place around the holidays in Gotham, with a sabotaged tree lighting, a Christmas party under attack and cold soup by the fire one night in that fussy bachelor pad. Michelle Pfeiffer is the reason for the season as Selina Kyle in and out of the bodysuit, Danny DeVito goes to a 27 and back, Jan Hooks shows up just before that nose bite happens, plus we get PeeWee and Simone, best featured Ice Princess, Danny Elfman’s score, the Hello There neon sign and a chest voice close to our hearts.Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

This week, we officially set sail with the cast of season 6 and discover a little more below deck in their group acting challenge. Van Goth continues to Van goad others into battle, Sami Landry exemplifies a cigarette mom to a T, and Dulce shows us her soft side, as does Paolo Perfeccion in her own way. We have a lot to say about who Velma looks like, but we have even more to say about that 'Hellish' lip sync. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Season 6 of Canada's Drag Race, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Best Supporting Paula Abdul helps kick off the season with a supersized Meet the Queens megamix, modestly oversized runway looks and a coldhearted lip sync assassination as the top prize. (That triple split screen had us leaning one ear in.)

Jennifer Love Hewitt is part of another doomed quartet of rising stars of the 90s getting terrorized by an omnipresent North Carolina fisherman out for even more justice because he still remembers what she did two summers ago. Brandy, Mehki Phifer and Matthew Settle join Julie James on the most convoluted all expenses paid trip from hell to the Bahamas while Freddie Prinze Jr does his own version of The Fugitive via bus, boat and time travel to try and save the day. Jennifer Esposito is an underutilized Nancy, Jack Black has dreads, and the entire staff of the hotel somehow get the worst end of the fish hook before Julie discovers why her new friend is named Will Benson….Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Season 7 of Drag Race UK, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Alright Scary is back this month with a movie your parents probably rented in the 90s, “Malice”! Its ingredients alone make it a cut above the domestic thrillers of the era, with Nicole Kidman, Bill Pullman and Alec Baldwin in a triangle full of twists, a fourth billed Bebe Neuwirth doing her best Columbo, Ann Bancroft devouring an entire set without getting out of her chair, Jerry Goldsmith at his usual bombastic, Shirley Baker as a waitress, Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows, Blythe Danner’s daughter, nurse drag, a beautiful hairy chest and a final showdown in a blind kid’s bedroom. We also get into some spooky and not so spooky recommendations and wrap things up by finally talking about this season of Dragula: Titans!00:00 Malice56:00 October Recommendations01:07:27 DragulaBecome a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Season 7 of Drag Race UK, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

It’s a jumble out there! The queens are turning challenge props from seasons past into, well, whatever they want. Viola gets strung out over the traitorous takes from a room full of Claudia Winklemans, and it only gets worse for her from there. Meanwhile Bones softens, Chai T gets lost between the cushions, Paige Three sends us on a necessary tangent on 90s Animal Movies, Pasty loses her balance, her shoe, and her shot at the crown and Sally hopefully gets the validation she needs that she really isn't too weird. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to the rest of Season 7 of Drag Race UK, plus brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our current recap of Season 4 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

The UK workroom is alive again with the sound of camp cows, Soho girls, Irish girls, indoor divas, the occasionally unclear pun name, both a violin and a nose flute, and a Gregg’s in a wig. The Pink Carpet sort-of challenge is essentially a version of Squid Game where you just hope to not get interviewed by Plane Jane, and the runway reminds us that this episode is just one big Meet the Queens. Despite some great music, the cow vote was kind of BS.

Mostly seven but briefly eight queens make it through to a final lip sync battle for the crown and the cash. Kerri hosts the viewing party as Irene is teleported back to Mars, Sister Mary Aja does her little walk and Daya wagon wheel watusis away against her Seattle sister. Lydia puts her whole butthole into Shakira and Bosco attempts to raise her glass above Ginger’s outstretched arms, but this Weather Girls final lip sync was essentially forecasted. Despite Jorgeous’s reign as Mommy’s Favorite, after ten years and four tries it was finally time for a, well, former big girl to win.Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to bonus episodes including brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Before next week’s lip sync smackdown, we get this week’s lip sync smackdown in the form of a talent show! Will Aja jump from there? Will Lydia rely on cumbersome props to tell a bizarre story? Does anyone need to be reminded of the Pharmarusical? While everything comes up Ginger and Jorgeous has an intense reaction to turkey, Bosco’s pretty privilege earns her the win and Mistress is sent back to playing video games on YouTube by her own Butthole. (Unless of course Ross’s absentee ballot sways the wild card lottery away from her fellow Texas diva.)Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to bonus episodes including brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

It’s time for the queens to come back eight months later and play the Snatch Game! Mistress ends up really taking it on the chin this week, as her Bracket 2 antics land about as poorly as her Natalie Nunn impression with the rest of the girls. Meanwhile Ginger doesn’t break a sweat as Reba and continues her winning streak (of Snatch Games and challenges this season), Aja’s cookie starts to crumble, Jorgeous puts on a bald cap and Cynthia’s Dracula is ironically slayed the week they have Buffy as a guest judge. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to bonus episodes including brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Sometimes Dolores, being a bitch is all a drag queen has to hang on to. And this week, it’s what it takes to both win the heart and bone of that guy from “Fire Island” and win a spot in the semifinals. While Ginger aptly fetches her third win, Daya finally stops begging Alyssa for a point and retrieves the second spot in the top. Acid and Alyssa are destined for the pound, but it’s ultimately up to them to decide who gets rescued. Alas, being a queen’s best friend pays off for Cynthia while Denali is kept on the leash, despite good behavior, with hopes of getting adopted at the finale. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to bonus episodes including brackets, movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

The tonk is particularly honky this week as the queens bring the Grand Ole Opry to the main stage for a girl group challenge that is decidedly more Dixie Chicks than Spice Girls. Meanwhile in the workroom the bottom 4 are spinning their partners round and round over who is gonna nab that third spot in the semifinals, and that’s all before Ginger lassos a second win. To say nothing of the lip sync that had everyone and their best friend Leslie talking.

We are officially Nicole Paige Brooksless this week as Bracket 3 kicks off with a wickedly wonky team-based design challenge and six new queens with big shoes to fill. Of course we also have to hold space for contractually featured guest judges Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Mischief Isabelle Brooks is in full force for this final lap of the bracket and not everyone is feeling gapey about it. A rather on the nose villains vs heroes Starrbooty Rusical leaves Nicole in shambles, Tina overshadowed and Kerry robbed.

This week’s roast is rapped up and hot to go! And for some queens it was even pre-written! The burns start well before the challenge between the feuding Brookses and one Texas diva left out of the alliance.

Bracket Two gives us a couple of Brookses, a Butthole, a Colby, a comeback for Mrs. Burner and a now three season veteran who is still too young to legally rent a car.

It’s time to put pen to paper and likeliness to college basketball player for this week’s girl group makeover challenge that decides who will join Irene in the semi-finals. Principal Skye is in full effect, Bad Babysitter Bosco has the Goddess in capable hands, Olivia makes beautiful music with Heaven spelled backwards, and there’s no alliances left for Aja, now with wings.

As a wise woman once asked, are y’all ready to rock and roll? The first bracket of All Stars is kicking off this season with a glam rock girl group before getting their knives out for a southern fried murder mystery. Irene the Alien crash lands into a redemption arc, Aja is giving tristate area hair stories, Principal Skye is back from sabbatical, Bosco zips to the top of the pack, Phoenix is Delphine Brigandi and Olivia isn’t joking bitch.

It’s been Onya’s season to win since she walked into the workroom in that vest, but this finale had us a bit nervous. Sam’s red carpet and Lexi’s rollerskates left them both primed for an All Stars comeback, and Crystal winning Miss Congeniality mayo feel righty real! But it all came down to the burger queen of Cleveland vs Tampa’s answer to Tracee Ellis Ross.

The final five roll the dice on the chance to join Drag Race LIVE! in Vegas, but first they need to do a pseudo TicTac lunch with Latrice and film a kiosk promo for an act we know nothing about and never see. We do get a Ru directed photo shoot, but it also feels 14 weeks late. Then it’s coats and a cloche on the runway and two different Rosses on the panel.

The season has been no stranger to feuds, even passive aggressive ones started through mirror messages, but this week it’s between the queens and a sombreroed Ross Mathews with a compromised larynx. Or is the feud really between director Cheyenne Jackson and his leading man/unofficial AD? Then of course there’s Lexi vs Lexi’s idea of Suzie, and apparently Sam and Lydia never liked each other? Lana’s still fighting with her brand as she once again defies our very clear and well defined expectations of her on the runway. Meanwhile Onya nails it in the challenge and serves pizza on the runway, Jewels doesn’t quite have the vernacular to master her monologue and the Butthole of the season has an unholy encounter with a pair of scissors. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to our recaps of "The White Lotus" this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

A Bachelorette, a Housewife, a Royal and Zac Efron’s brother manage to survive a self-destructing turret of Traitors picking each other off and spiraling out week after week, then band together to bring an uplifting and triumphant end to the season. Carolyn easily won the reality TV game, but Gabby’s cultural impact, Dolores’s 11th hour redemption, Ivar’s strategy for survival and Dylan’s side energy are not to be banished too quickly. At the reunion, Bob the Drag Queen makes a meal out of Housewives, Danielle backstrokes and apparently, Ayan is very funny. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to our recaps of "The White Lotus" this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

The girls are spiraling over a lineup for this week’s Villains Roast, and plot twist, the biggest villain in the room is in their heads. But upside, Lexi continues to breathe fresh and also totally unfiltered air into her workroom interactions, to say nothing of her prop work or those nails. Meanwhile Arrietty pouts to an inevitable conclusion, Sam gets the good friend award, Onya cooks despite a medium well roast and the Butthole finally tops. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to our recaps of "The White Lotus" this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

It's the third design challenge of the season, this time not inspired by a board game or garbage, but by iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson (Not to be confused with another famous American upholsterer)! We're very in our 40s this episode, so not too much on our formative pleasures like Crocodile Mile, but we also dig into Lana's delusion of self-awareness, our love of Lexi, and why it was maybe time to dethrone the King. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to our recaps of "The White Lotus" this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for our recap of Season 5 of Drag Race plus even more movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Gabby gets gaggy at this week's roundtable, perhaps in honor of Carolyn, in what is potentially Danielle's swan song. That is, unless we have to wait a whole week to find out Ivar finally went home. Will Brittany repeat history by making it? Will we ever find out who the Seer is?

The Snatch Game comes early this season, giving us eleven reasons to wonder if this challenge needs to finally be blanked. Luckily we get Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried as Lexi as Gilbert Gottfried, Onya on the ball, Alyssa Edwards in the hot seat, Ru openly criticizing Lana’s performance mid-game and a talking butt plug. The runway feels very pointed and Quinta Brunson nails the balance of funny and functional critiques. In an 11th hour goop, Ru saves Lana over Crystal, because sometimes things that are expensive are worse.Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Canada's Drag Race this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for EVEN MORE movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Act Three of the season has begun, and this week is admittedly Sandoval heavy, but maybe that just means he’s out next week. Sam emerges with a good idea at breakfast, Gabby’s social media has propelled her to BSA status and Dylan is following the producer playbook. Danielle should be shaking in her boots at this point, aside from all that other shaking she’s doing. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for EVEN MORE movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

Ding dong, the don is DONE! But first, a wedding full of uninvited guests and some iconic goggles. Carolyn wields a fork with a carrot on it at one point, Sam and Ivar briefly play badminton and sort of make for a cute couple, and Tom looks like he wants to sell you molly out of the back of his Geo Tracker. Brittany holds her own at the roundtable and keeps everyone on topic, which is to get the last and most nefarious of the Cage Boys out of the castle.

On man’s trash is another queen’s runway outfit for this week’s unconventional materials challenge/ball inspired by ocean pollution.

Carolyn Wiger eats Cheerios with a fork this week! And while we lose Bob H. in head to toe Thom Browne, Danielle is making such a mess for herself, Tom Sandoval has some more sweaty theories, we have LOTS of feelings about Wes, and Derrick is going full CSI on Boston Rob, who is an eerie reminder of life outside the castle.

Well hardy har, Mary, it’s another episode of RDR. On the plus side, we get the recognition that cigarette moms deserve (and a future episode dedicated to the topic), RuPaul gives it some of her all as the musical guest and Paul W Downs is more than just a pretty face.

The Traitors are continuing to act like traitors this week with Danielle and Rob vying for most suspicious while Queen Carolyn eats cereal in an impeccable blue pantsuit. Bob Harper couldn’t look sharper, Ivar is turning the straights, Dolores is the last wife in the house, and tragedy befalls the Bambis, which is fitting given their namesake.

If you like lip syncs to original tracks and death drops, you’re just gonna love this episode. 33 year old Auntie Grandma Lexi skates circles around these nepo babies, but Onya has us hanging on her every word and Kori’s ice cube gives good clatter. The runway has something to do with cake or butts but two Marie Antoinettes is officially two too many for Michelle. That Doechii lip sync alters our egos and our minds, and Yes, And? turns into No, But for Hormona, who dunks her way back into the drama she’s started this season and then wins a trip to Vegas. Become a Matreon at the Sister Mary level to get full access to Canada's Drag Race this season, plus movie reviews and past seasons of US Drag Race, UK, Canada, Down Under, Espana, Global All Stars, Philippines and more.Join us at our OnlyMary's level for EVEN MORE movie reviews, brackets, and deep dives into our personal lives!Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram)Web: www.alrightmary.com

This is no dream, this is really happening this week as the queens take on a Rusical of Rosemary’s Baby (with a bit of The Exorcist, Poltergeist, IT and of course, Megan thrown in). We have a lot to say about horror movies, nothing to say about periwinkle and plenty of feelings on the SLMing of Shannel. Plus that lip sync just had us putting our hands behind our backs and curiously spinning away. Want even more Alright Mary?

Music makes the people come together, but it also makes drag queens design looks based on (the titles of) RuPaul songs. Shannel continues to get nothing for Christmas, Gottmik gets a three way hug with a dress form, Nina has clearly never made construction paper turkeys as a kid, Angeria is VERY Ashford & Simpson, and Vanjie loves cats. Jorgeous doesn’t really have a plotline this week, but remember that time she won her design challenge? Plastique continues to have the judges seeing stars and Roxxxy is all tonk and no honky in her cowgirl couture, but honestly that lip sync jumpsuit of hers may have been the best look of the night. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s truly a Night of 1000 Divas as RuPaul channels Joan Crawford, Faye Dunaway playing Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall and more stars of the 20th century in this week’s camp cinema inspired acting challenge. (Though the jury’s still out on The Boys in the Band when it comes to camp, but having Jorgeous play Harold is certainly an inspired choice.)Want even more Alright Mary?

Roxxxy Andrews more than earns her commission in the final minutes of this week’s episode. After a series of real estate commercials that weren’t necessarily fighting off bidders, some workroom drama about Florida accents, Jorgeous's Mommy and me moment on the runway and a pretty hairy lip sync, an anguished blind crab walk was just what this episode needed to continue to sell us on this absurd telethon pitting charities against one another. Also, the Teletubbies show up and we have some very strong opinions on real estate agency branding, silly straight boys and of course, Shannel.Want even more Alright Mary?

Makeovers meets the girl group challenge with a healthy dose of daddy issues in this week’s episode. We have much to say about Shannel, including the fact that she is iconically badgeless, not as much to say about alliances and cliques and lots of feelings about that pole dancer, Ross’s commitment to making/not losing these references, and why All Stars needs more stars. Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Yvie! This week we talk to Season 11 winner, All Stars alum and beloved oddball of the Denver drag scene, Yvie Oddly! We discuss the honor of cat ownership, facing imposter syndrome on national television, the Drag Race you don’t see, navigating the seas of toxic fandom, celebrating temporary drag and so much more! Their new book “All About Yvie”, co-written with Michael Bach, will be out on June 19th!Want even more Alright Mary?

We get twice the tickled ivories this week when two Liberaces show up on Snatch Game of Love. Personally, we have dibs on Marla Gibbs and whatever she’s got in that shoulder bag. Thanks to Shannel, we spend some necessary time on both the expression and the movie “in the cut” and Jorgeous inspires us to revisit an internet legend. We also figure out who Roxxxy looks like in her confessionals, and of course can’t resist a tangent on Terrence. Inevitably we end up talking at some point about Vanjie’s fever dream of a WOW+ dating show again, but we also cover the night of 1000 reveals, Gottmik running away with the runway theme and the perils of doing imaginary characters on Snatch Game. Want even more Alright Mary?

Sisters are doing it for charity this season of All Stars, and the stakes have never been lower! But honestly, it’s kind of nice to just watch a variety show for the next couple months, especially with a cast this solid. Episodes 1 and 2 both dropped in the wee hours of the morning so we’re covering both in a supersized episode this week. We got two hours of familiar faces reading, singing, dancing, sewing, painting, literally painting, lip syncing and scissoring one another and we can’t really complain, except maybe it could have been shorter? (Here comes that Change.org petition.) We’d like to know so much more about Shannel’s Christmas house. Also, Roxxxy Fucking Andrews, a very important moment of appreciation for Shelly Williams, a look back at our own art histories, a potential Jump in the Line bracket and the power of a hanky. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week, we're bringing you the first 20 minutes of our discussion about a movie that must be included in the gay canon! If you want to hear the rest of the discussion, check out the link to our Patreon below!*Cruel Intentions* (1999) may mostly be about the heterosexual pursuits of Manhattan’s filthiest and richest, but it’s overwhelmingly queer coded. The cast includes Buffy Summers, Tracy Flick, Joshua Jackson with a box dye job, a cadre of older character actresses in supporting roles, a Tara Reid cameo, Selma Blair casually stealing the movie and even Eric Mabius as the Gregster. Plus Ryan Philippe’s butt, the spittle string when Kathryn and Cecile famously French kiss in the park, a soundtrack with zero skips, and a deeply satisfying female empowerment ending to the tune of “Bittersweet Symphony.”Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s time for Ru to pack up the pink limousine and peel out, but first—an uncanny valley version of a live finale! The Top 3 perform signature songs we’ve never heard before, and two of them are actually pretty great while one of them is sort of growing on us. (On an unrelated note, we do a full autopsy of “Bodysuit” this week.) We get some much welcomed mompreciation, plus Mrs. Wind and Mrs. Cristàl, Malaysia Babydoll Eagle, Sasha Colby (SASHA COLBY, Donna TaDonna) being She Her Hers, and finally, a “Padam Padam” lip sync on Drag Race between a vampire from Philadelphia and a boba-filled banana lady. Want even more Alright Mary?

Instead of hashing out old fights while perched on stadium arranged bar stools on either side of the stage, the queens of Season 16 are reuniting to face off in a lip sync bracket for $50,000 and, in Megami’s case, a total rudemption arc. It’s a brand new stage (from Secret Celebrity Drag Race?), a playlist of top tier lip sync songs, Bruno just happy to be there, some girl in the audience high off her heels, and an opportunity for the top three to sit back and be judgey gays in the workroom while the best of the rest put on one of the most entertaining episodes of Drag Race ever. Want even more Alright Mary?

The workroom becomes a writers retreat this week as the top four put pen to paper, photo to book cover and personality to podcast for a memoir-able final lap before the finale. Oh and there’s some casual waterboarding during the mini challenge, but at least it comes with a trip to Puerto Vallarta! Nymphia discusses the challenges of meeting Western beauty standards with Matt Rogers, Sapphira slues her way to the top, Q takes a bite out of soup, Plane finally descends to the bottom 2 and RuPaul gets his life as director of those photo shoots. Want even more Alright Mary?

What happens in Vegas doesn’t really ever stay in Vegas anymore these days, which is all to say that this week we finally get the makeover challenge! Five backup dancers from Drag Race Vegas LIVE (!) are perfectly paired with our five remaining showgirls--but oh also, we didn't get nearly enough Showgirls references this episode, I know that much. We have a lot to say about Monopoly, GUESS WHO, the blushing police, Ru’s roots in San Diego, that Plane and Lazy workroom connection, the audacity of TS Madison to notice a color story, the potential in the name Susan, this moment that country is having and why Sapphira very much won that lip sync while looking like one of the Knicks. Want even more Alright Mary?

There’s no room to rest this week as the top six put their backs into custom bathrooms with thrones fit for a strange German couple played Carson and Michelle. Plane writes all of her worries down on a piece of paper and tears it up, and that is the vulnerability the judges are looking for. Q continues to rue the decisions Ru makes, Morphine loves shit talking, Dawn and Nymphia circle the drain as challenge partners and Sapphira is officially Number 1 in the race by the time she’s scooting down the runway looking like a Dalmatian in a gimp mask. Alas, the sun sets on the morning glory of Brooklyn, but at least we all discovered a new Pit Crew crush. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s a mandatory meeting this week as the queens give HR presentations to a live studio audience! (Really.) Joel Kim Booster is on hand to give the girls a boost but no one quite understands the assignment, including us. Sapphira stumbles and shines but we’ll probably remember Mhi’ya the most, and we’d like to know more about that midday after party. The Miami girls get a little Florida in the lip sync, and we finally say goodbye to the Unsinkable Miss LaPaige. Want even more Alright Mary?

Pardon our delay this week and slight audio snafu starting about 17 minutes in, but if you take anything away from this episode, it’s that Mhi’ya chooses Equal, Ethan Embry was not in the movie Frailty, neither of us get SpongeBob references, clapping along requires a lot of group trust, we have very subjective reactions to Leland on the keys and The Traitors really changes your view of how reality show competitions should be played. Also no one goes home and we have questions about the runway palette but you’ll hear all that on the episode, you’ve waited long enough. Tot ziens!Want even more Alright Mary?

If the definition of goth is black and white, then this week was a goth-inspired design challenge. And the third this season! Most of the episode is waiting to see if Q, Nymphia or Dawn are going to win, while Sapphira makes two looks, Plasma goes in three different directions and Mhi'ya is acting like she got Sapphira's immunity potion. The biggest goop of the episode is the table flipping lip sync that proves that track record doesn’t always matter and it’s totally okay to take off your wig without another wig underneath. Alas it’s curtains for Plasma and another W for Q. Want even more Alright Mary?

Snatch Game may be more a well-worn tradition than the event of the season these days, but sure enough here it is! (And while Megami left the competition last week, when a window closes the door of a car opens on this podcast.) Chad stops by to Cher, Plane takes a non-stop flight to the top by way of Serbia, Sapphira nearly has it in the brand new bag, Q gives us an amusing Amelia and honestly, Nymphia’s Jane Goodall was a barrel of weird and wonderful monkeys. Mrs. Bacon shows up on the judges panel, Michelle has a background in ballroom and Morphine and Xunami wanna dance with each other in the bottom two. Want even more Alright Mary?

The Rusical is quickly becoming the event of each season over Snatch Game. Much like last year’s Wigloose, The Sound of Rusic is a slickly produced and catchy mini musical the queens need to lip sync and dance along to, in roles so perfectly cast you’d think they were pre-chosen. Plasma, who so far has given zero indication that she loves musical theatre, is given the lion’s share of a role, but Sapphira, Q and even Plane Jane make the most of the rest, while Morphine goes a little numb, Mhi’ya gets caught in a bad habit and Megami’s always got that face on her face. (By the way, blink and you’ll miss it, but Nymphia is in this episode.) A shoeless penguin slide saves the queen of flips till next week’s lip sync and the Barbie of the outerboroughs takes the Verrazano home. Want even more Alright Mary?

The queens are getting all dolled up this week for what is mostly another design challenge but also sort of a branding challenge, and also they have to make doll clothes. Jane decides to fly towards a warmer destination, Sapphira takes a big gulp of self-doubt and Ru practically runs the wheels off Miss Karr by pitting her against the fun, shy and outgoing flipper with a zipper in a Janet lip sync. Also, Q finally secures that W, but at least Dawn’s doll will sell well in 20 years. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week Ru peddles her book in the mini challenge and her new album in the maxi challenge as the TWELVE remaining queens on Week 5 write verses, learn choreography and fight in half-drag. Amanda gets one strand of hair in her face and lays a curious egg on the runway, the underdogs split $5,000 four ways and Q finally gets a break from being in the top so much. The Meating of the season is unfortunately booted from the conference room early but will no doubt be a mandatory All Star. Want even more Alright Mary?

Back by alleged popular demand, its RDR Live! But more importantly, we figure out how to pronounce “SHEIN” and imagine Mirage as the host of a Nickelodeon show. We also validate Geneva’s PLU code memorization skills and recognize the ways in which we too can be a little Plasma about the ladies we love. There’s also plenty of Buffy talk inspired by the Best Supporting Slayer as guest judge. Also, we didn’t know the that Cher was the voice of the revolution, but we love how precious Ru is about her. Mhi’ya is saved by an 11th hour Cher impression and Geneva Karr gets a few more miles to the gallon when Mirage is sent clacking and packing for not knowing the words. Want even more Alright Mary?

The queens are mothering on the runway for this momtastic ball dedicated to some of our finest cultural matriarchs, like Octomom and Salma Hayek. We have our own picks for moms missed this week, but you should also know we kind of loved Hershii’s Aunt Altima two-stepping around in that wig. We can agree that Nymphia Wind is blowing the rest of the girls away, we have much to say about the Eeyore of Drag and we’re thrilled to see Isaac Mizrahi dandying out on the judges panel, to say nothing of Carson’s Ann Jillian reference! Want even more Alright Mary?

The B Team of Season 16 arrives this week and let’s just say it looks like we’re in for a bumpy flight. Plane Jane soars in to a room full of indoor kids and takes hold of the narrative and the ire of social media. Meanwhile Plasma could be flirting with the curse of the BFA, Nymphia is the definition of bananas, and we have much to debate about Megami’s moment. We also discuss the statistics of past split premieres, the parents of Drag Race, Hershi’s Bermuda shorts, Becky with the guest spot and that uncensored nip slip for your life. Want even more Alright Mary?

There was much to queen out about in the world of Drag Race this year, and more than we could possibly cover. This week we’re looking back at the queens, quotes, moments, meltdowns and memes we loved from 2023, including highlights from Season 15, DRUK S5, All Stars 8 and Canada’s Drag Race S4 (and briefly, Dragula) as well as social media.Want even more Alright Mary?

For a semifinal challenge with Humungous in the title, we thought this week’s floorshow might have been…bigger. But perhaps that’s been a running theme all season. Orkgotik continues to turn trash into treasure, Throb gives horny gremlin, Nio has a bellybutton, Blackberri floats like a butterfly but doesn’t quite sting like a bee and Fantasia’s bug with boobs gets exterminated. To be honest we’re ready for a two break breakula from the season before they reunite to hash it out all out at next month’s Last Supper. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s time to bring out the black lights because this week’s theme is something like 80’s funhouse neon darkroom nightmare demon—oh and also make it two in one looks. Throb is back to playing Boulet’s Best Friend Race with Nio, and Orkgotik is worried they’re kissing. Meanwhile, Blackberri glows like an Egyptian, Cynthia goes full club kid and Fantasia barely wriggles out of the bottom. Nio strong arms her way to another win and we say goodbye to the much beloved narrator of the season in an extermination that was not shocking, literally. Want even more Alright Mary?

Set your sonic transducers to stunning because we’re headed to the intergalactic backpages for some casual connections that are out of this world. And a little muppety, if that’s your thing. This week’s sex workers in space floor show was a mixed bag when it came to interpreting the prompt, but it’s JayKay who is most feeling the gravity of the situation as Throb vows to send them to Uranus because Jarvis lost a lip sync a couple weeks ago. We manage to also use up some oxygen on male orgasms, Mary Higgins Clark, Meet the Feebles and the treacherous black hole that is the Dragula subreddit. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s the battle of the bands this week! While Chaotik is horns above Devil’s 4 Play when it comes to banding together, Blackberri drums up some deserved praise for making the most of being, daresay, a background singer. “Gods of Death” sends us down a late 90s/early 2000s rock rabbit hole, but we also talk about organic peanut butter and class trips for a little bit, so there’s something for everyone. Cynthia goes full Baddie Mom, Throb wears sunglasses inside, JayKay has Disney voice, Fantasia brings out a second bucket hat, Orkgotik wears that ROBE, Nio is no guitar hero and in a shock to no one, Anna Phylactic is branded and disbanded. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re not quite buying what they’re selling for this week’s QVShe home shopping challenge. From fancy flats to party ponchos, the queens hawk crap on live TV, try to make “Daddeldoo” happen and in some cases completely fall apart under the pressure to sell bras with pockets. The runway is a rocky road of precious stones, but guest judge Rajah O’Hara is a welcomed addition, as is the Golden Beaver twist. Kitten not only wins this week, but may work at Home Depot, and we say see see ya later to Sisi. Indeed, that’ll do.Want even more Alright Mary?

t’s time to separate the beasts from the babies, the monsters of rock group challenge is (almost) here! This week’s opening act is a full metal floorshow followed by an on the spot extermination via a lip sync for your death. Fantasia takes center stage, Orkgotik is the baddest bitch of the night and Niohuru continues to chop through the competition. JayKay’s rollercoaster of a journey this season takes another hard left, but it’s the Hammer that gets nailed this week. We also discuss Anna’s outburst, Cynthia’s day job, House of Villains and the sounds that bat hands make. Want even more Alright Mary?

Eleven new queens of the north have entered, subsequently exited, then re-entered en masse through that maple leaf shaped door for a new season of Canada’s Drag Race! In what is essentially one big Meet the Queens, we get a showgirls mini-challenge, workroom banter, a social justice alcove, a visit from Tegan and Sara in their best raincoats and a first impressions runway for the true north trio of Brooke, Brad and Tracy. We’re already having a great Girlfriend Experience, but we loved when Sisi bonked her head on the lamp and then fell off the couch. We also have a lot to say about Alanis, Aunt Linda at the wedding, the Real Gays of WeHo, Season 2 of “Up the Lakeside” and Fleetwood Mac. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re checking into the spookiest Marriott you’ve ever seen for this week’s haunted hotel floorshow! Throb takes it to the penthouse suite, but is bested by JayKay’s sentient bar cart. Nio nearly says “I do” to a second win, despite some cold feet in the Lab, Anna misses her shot but hits our bullseyes, Fantasia and Jarvis get notes and Satanna briefly quits before three of them lay on some cots while rats give them tickles. Want even more Alright Mary?

Things get gross for this week’s filth-focused floor show. To the surprise of no one who watched the trailer, JayKay comes back just in time to chug sludge and win the opportunity to force Cynthia to do her makeup in a dirty Port-a-Potty. Speaking of which, we have a lot to say about Cynthia, from her bad mom vibes to her meth mom presentation. There’s something off about Onyx’s critiques, we kind of loved Anna’s bananas reveal and can agree that Throb was two scoops above the rest when it came to creating a Trash Can Kid. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re ending Alright Scary the way we started it, with another slick early 90s thriller delivering a TV movie story with a lobster dinner budget, a sweeping score by a legendary composer and a rising Hollywood star front and center of any promotional materials. 1993’s “The Good Son” is a chilly, unsettling turn in Macaulay Culkin’s career, but we’re more concerned with Wendy Crewson’s Susan, the Good Mom, caught between Henry the Bad Seed of coastal Maine and Mark who believes she’s the reincarnation of his dead mother. And let’s not even talk about Connie, but let’s definitely talk about the implications of that iconic cliffside climax. We also get those Culkins straight, sing the spoiler-free praises of “Orphan” and try to get to the bottom of this treehouse situation. Want even more Alright Mary?

Spooky season may be over but a new season of Dragula has just begun! The Boulets welcome an airport van full of new monsters over the river and through the woods to a snazzier, sleeker set with a lot more lights and a lot less spiders all over anyone's tits. We have some early favorites, from spooky kook Jarvis to cigarette mom Cynthia, a new rattle we’ll likely be repeating all season, a lot of trouble with the name Satanna and some very sharp words for a certain DVD cover.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s an Alright Scary tradition to revisit the Scream franchise just in time for Halloween, and this year we’re Marying out on “Scream 3”! Despite a reputation for being a bit of a slump in the saga, we found a lot to appreciate—specifically Parker Posey. Neve’s back in her signature earth tones, Gail’s bangs have been slashed, Scott Foley inspires an important ranking of the Great Scotts of the era, and despite the lack of Kevin Williamson, the script has some surprisingly astute commentary about the dark underbelly of Hollywood (especially as a Miramax production).Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Scary makes a pit stop in Nilbog for 1990's cult classic,"Troll 2"! This is of course not actually a sequel to "Troll" and doesn't even necessarily feature trolls, but it does have a hot dad, a veritable Mary Tyrone of a mother, MAGA Holly, a sweaty camper full of dudes, a corny witch with dry lips, the absolute worst minivan in the world, lots of daytime horror, so much green frosting, and some Grandpa ex machina in the form of a double decker bologna sandwich.

This week, we're talkin' about the floor fillers challenge on Drag Race UK Season 5.

We are finally navigating the Buffyverse for Alright Scary this week with the Season 4 episode “Hush”! It’s as much about fairy tale monsters stealing voices and hearts across Sunnydale as it is about Buffy confronting her intimacy issues, Willow navigating a sexual awakening, Anya learning the complexities of human relationships and how much of our civility is tied to our communication skills. But it’s also a genuinely scary episode and a great entry point if you want to dip your toes into this series or just queen out on Sarah Michelle Gellar for 44 minutes. Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Scary continues with the controversial (summer) camp classic from the slasher boom of the 80’s, “Sleepaway Camp”! This video store staple is best remembered for a twist ending that hasn’t aged well, but there’s so much to say about Aunt Martha, Ricky, Best Supporting Queen Judy, the unabashed sleaze and overt homoeroticism, that distinct Jersey vibes, the unfathomable hotness of Gene, Susie Snell, and how else to interpret what this movie could (hypothetically) be saying about Angela. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week we discuss 1992's camp horror classic Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman as the highest drag queen in Transylvania opposite the everlasting 'Nona Rider. We praise the performances of Sadie Frost as the vixen Lucy and comment on the 90's aesthetic of showing gratuitous breasts. We go off about the costuming and the "naive" in camera effects and fantasize about the possibilities in Dracula 2000. Enjoy and happy October! Hope it doesn't suck! >:-E Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re kicking off Alright Scary with the mild, uncomplicated thrills of 1991’s “Sleeping With the Enemy.” Julia Roberts goes on a journey of identities, hairstyles and cross-country bus travel to escape from her abusive husband Patrick Bergin and start new life in Iowa and perhaps also in the hirsute arms of Kevin Anderson’s Ben, who will not stop jump-scaring her. Jerry Goldsmith’s score classes up the joint, and we have much to say about baths, carnival scenes, Nancy Fish on the bus, the cast of “Enough”, foyer finales and whether Laura/Sara could be arrested for faking her death. Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Travis! This week something told us to not discount Miss Geist, and frankly, as if. We’re finally discussing Clueless! We have much to say about the queer and cringe of Christian, Dionne being the smartest person in the room, Best Supporting Brittany Murphy and the critical importance of Ambular, who would never wear something from Judy’s. The Cher and Josh love story may always feel like a bit of a Monet and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones may be a glaring reminder of the 90s ska craze, but this movie is an otherwise total Betty that we will certainly see again, and we hope not sporadically. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re kicking off back to school season with the ultimate day off in Chicago. While this movie is technically about Ferris, it’s really about Cameron, and of course Jeannie. To say nothing of the perils of Ed and Grace! And then there’s Mr. Bueller’s outings in that red Audi, Katie Bueller’s fashion choices, Best Supporting Simone, that girl from “Legend”, the well-endowed garage attendant, a Comeback cameo, a one scene Sheen, Nurse Florence, a potential future telenovela star, a gay maitre’d, and of course that girl on the bus with the hot gummy bears. In some ways, this movie is about everyone but Ferris. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re headed to Kellerman’s for three magical weeks of summer lovin’ in the dreamy arms of a significantly older man. There’s gonna be class struggle, queer subtext, abortion, watermelons, THAT SOUNDTRACK, Jerry Orbach’s eventually donated eyes, the grandma from Gilmore Girls, kid sister Lisa, fertile college boys with toxic hotness, a resident cougar and klepto old lady (who we'd play) and of course, Best Supporting Penny stealing the entire movie before she retired and married Richard Marx. Want even more Alright Mary?

We rollerbladed to the theaters this weekend to see “Barbie” (and “Oppenheimer”!) and we have much to Mary out about. Naturally we have a lot of formative memories of Barbie as a coveted childhood toy and, of course, Ken’s mound, but we also queen out on Weird Barbie, America Ferrera, the Ann Roth moment and Margot Robbie’s fantastic in plastic performance. We’re of varying opinions on Ken, but we can agree that it’s good to see Rhea Perlman. We also find time to discuss Ben Shapiro’s bear face, popcorn monsters and what Barbenheimer says about the state of America in 2023. Want even more Alright Mary?

Enough clowning around, it’s time to crown a winner this week! Besides the requisite Tic Tac lunches and choreography rehearsal, we get to see the 9 semi-finalists sit around and win money out of a pink box, RuPaul putting her back brace into it and some pretty stellar finale looks across the board. (Except for some questionable wrinkles and that little wig!) Lala’s impeccable experience this season comes to a famous conclusion before Jimbo and Kandy funk it up for shits and giggles one last time and the best of the breasts takes home over $260,000 in Canadian dollars. Want even more Alright Mary?

We may be a week away from what seems like an inevitable victory for this season’s frontrunner, but the real winner this season is Monica Beverly Hillz for not being a soaking clock. We spend like 20 minutes on her variety show performance alone and at least another 15 minutes on a tangent about Mom Rock and Teacher-as-Savior movies, but we also have much to say about how Jimbo would have won again this week, the power of the LaLa Ri Experience, Jaymes Mansfield finally having her moment and whether or not we should talk about “Bring it On” on this podcast. Want even more Alright Mary?

This season’s makeover challenge brings some much needed lesbians to the workroom and a much appreciated Priyanka at the 11th hour. Kandy bakes a perfect Kookie and gets the obviously inevitable honor of picking the very last lipstick. We cover just about everything this week, including the occasional mention of Johnny’s trip to Spain, but certainly stick around till the end for an impassioned look back at the cast of 2003’s “Mona Lisa Smile.” Want even more Alright Mary?

This week’s roast features a toast from a ghost that truly does the most. Alexis and Kandy continue to play chess with their lipstick alliance while Jessica skis right into the top three like it’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s fucking back.

The race to the finish line takes a dramatic turn at the tail end of this week’s design challenge. Jimbo’s facekini was one big red herring as Alexis made pinkie promises with LaLa Ri that ended up being middle fingers, Jessica continued to give a masterclass in staying under the radar, and all signs pointed to a much dreaded bottom two spot for Kandy Muse. When Nicky Doll’s boots aren’t quite made for assassinating, it looks like curtains for Kandy. Alas blood is thicker than Bubly sparkling water, and the LaLa Ri Experience is brought to a bittersweet end.  Want even more Alright Mary?

The queens are making a scene this week, and we’re not even talking about the challenge itself. Emotions run high early in the day and Best Supporting Ru makes an emergency visit to the workroom to keep more queens from quitting the show through the power of proselytizing. The true crime improv challenge itself is a slickly produced step up, and while no one is dead on arrival, there were likely culprits for bottom two. The winner of this week’s runway pageant was, in the words of Alyssa Edwards, not on this stage, and Jorgeous punches the clock more than the ghost as our guest lip sync assassin. It ultimately ends up being a really good week for Lala Ri, and frankly, it’s about damn time. Want even more Alright Mary?

Tina, bring me the acts! It’s a Rusical this week as the surviving seven don their Mommies dearest for an Aunt Leland and Uncle Adam extravaganza of the ups, downs and Dunaways of Joan Crawford’s career. While no one was box office poison, Jessica went wild on those rose bushes, Lala was Mildred Fierce and Alexis gave Faye a run for her money. The judges go crazy for Kandy’s wire hangers and overlook whatever happened to Jimbo’s runway. We can handle the socks, but is there rigor morris afoot? Barbara, please. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s love and war this week as our Top 8 seek Las Culturista connections in the Snatch Game of Love. Hearts are broken in the workroom when Heidi decides to go towards the light (and exit the studio), but of course none more than Alexis. The ruveals on the runway may have been big on bodysuits, but Jimbo’s Adam and Eve is a revelation. (To say nothing of that twisted Shirley Temple.) Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s pilot season this week as three teams of three produce trailers of their own TV shows. Best Friends 4 Never might get picked up, mostly in order to give Jimbo her own show, but Getoff Island gives off mid-season cancellation vibes. (And don’t even get us started on the grammatical decisions made by the title Run Queen, Run.) We have a lot to say about unrelated things like The Warner Brothers Store and the sister in “Dirty Dancing,” but we also queen out on Alexis’s bare-assed runway confession, Jimbo’s Creed, the divine presence of Aunt Shannel and the inherent shame of the Fame Game. Want even more Alright Mary?

Our grand union of queens are off to market to stop and shop for a look for this week’s supermarket ball! LaLa, Alexis and Heidi shop rite, Kandy takes the safeway and Jimbo is covered in whole foods, but our Rochester queens just aren’t serving Danny’s favorite. (Okay, that’s a Wegmans joke.) Jessica’s trip to foodtown puts her in the express line to the top this week, which is frankly a giant surprise. But no bigger than those La Veneno boobs she sports during the lip sync that end up being worth $15,000 each. Price check! Want even more Alright Mary?

Hot on the heals of the premiere episode comes Drag Race's take on Saturday Night Live which, despite some jokes clearly written by ChatGPT, kind of nails the SNL energy. (Even if "RDR Live" really does't roll off the tongue.) Darienne and Alexis bring us home to Jersey and Jimbo and Jessica flourish as the manscaping McCall Girls, but Kahanna's Kitty doesn't have us Jonesing for more and Naysha gets stuck on Uranus in that cold open. The Net Gala runway features zero references to "The Net," Thai royalty arrives to bop her way through the season's second lip sync assassination and our sister Naysha heads back to Roscoe's.

Eight is enough, except when it comes to All Stars! 12 familiar faces (well, except Kahanna, who looks completely different) are back in the workroom and on our screens this week for a brand new season. In lieu of the usual talent show premiere, we get a girl group challenge, a few dozen looks (including an iconic Eilish), some emotional ups and downs for Miss Hillz, a lip sync worth sliding into someone's DMs over to ask if they have a background in ballroom, and our prolonged introduction to this Fame Game.Want even more Alright Mary?

With one more week of off-season before All Stars 8, we're putting out an OnlyMarys discussion from last year on "Center Stage"! We queen out on the sheer presence of Debra Monk, Donna Murphy rubbing her neck, dancing the shit out of it in gray sweatpants, best supporting Eva, Marcia Jean Kurtz's moment, Cooper's apartment, that impossible final performance and the sheer number of times you hear the name Jodie Sawyer.

We are covering this season of Drag Race España as part of our weekly Matreon episodes! Here is our discussion of Episode 2's Dragvision rap battle/girl group fiasco. We're starting to pick our favorites in the cast, even if this episode wasn't our favorite of the series. We still got the Javis' furrowed brows, a stern reprimand from all four judges, an iconic talking head look and a vague education of the sensation that is Eurovision.Want even more Alright Mary?

As this brief off-season continues before All Stars 8, this week we're releasing our OnlyMarys discussion of Episode 3 of "The Last of Us" on the main feed! We break down the beats and nuances of Frank and Bill's Linda Ronstadt scored courtship, dissect all of the meaning in the line "Go take a shower, Bill" and totally Mary out on the evolution of this gay relationship in spite of the zombie apocalypse going on around them.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s a time capsule within a time capsule this week as we flash back to a Matreon episode from June of 2019 about, that’s right, Drag Race time capsules! This is just after Season 11 ended as we make our choices for each season’s time capsule and veer off down memory lane for a tangent or two. Want even more Alright Mary?

The season of the Sasha Colby meet and greet ended, appropriately enough, with a Sasha Colby crown and scepter. And maybe we should have seen that coming since Kerri Colby uttered her name at the beginning of last season. It certainly felt obvious in the finale, as Anetra, Luxx and Mistress delivered good warm up act performances of Leland songs before Sasha gave us G-O-D-D-E-S—you know the rest.Meanwhile we got a not in memorium of Bob Mackie, a sway-along to a Wigloose number (particularly Sugar), Best Supporting Mama Monsoon, an important message from Kevin Bacon and friends (and by friends we don’t mean those VHS tapes), Malaysia’s congenial era (it’s not funny) and the lip sync showdown we’ve been expecting since the Lalaparuza. Want even more Alright Mary?

Ru brings back her girls for a supersized reunion. Well, more like a Mistress Isabelle Brooks meet and greet with guest host Luxx, cameos from Anetra and Sasha (GOLBY), Poppy’s homage to entrance jeans, Loosey determined to show us how loose she can let, Kevin Bacon’s VHS collection, the pizza queen adjacency of the Golden Boot, moments of garbled insight from Spice, a non-response response to nogueing and finally, a moment of recognition for “It’s not funny.” More importantly, we have merch! https://www.alrightmary.com/storeWant even more Alright Mary?

The final four are headed to space this week courtesy of the RuZQ to add their two cents in eight bars to RuPaul’s “Blame It on the Edit.” But first, we debate whether it's Anetra or Sasha getting the winner’s edit based on the narratives of these Tic Tac lunches and Blame it on the Amazon for having to sit through so many mop commercials.The girls are out of small talk in the workroom, giving us time to also talk about our love for Roxxxy Andrews in “Read U Wrote U,” Tyra’s run on Season 2, Kennedy Goddamn Davenport in general, Sasha Velour’s semifinals golemography, the various love letters of Drag Race, Johnny Guitar and even some strong feelings on picnic salads. We get beautiful gowns, beautiful gowns on the runway, terrifying messages from the future to their past selves, and the double shantay we’ve been expecting all season. To wrap things up, we spin out on an extended tangent about early 2000’s romcoms often starring Bradley Cooper. Want even more Alright Mary?

Trailblazing Portland drag legend Darcelle XV passed away on March 23rd at the age of 92 after a Guinness World Record making career in drag. We were beyond fortunate to interview Darcelle (aka Walter Cole) back in 2019, along with Anthony Hudson aka Carla Rossi (and co-host of Gaylords of Darkness podcast), as part of the Listen Up Podcast festival. In memory of Darcelle, we're sharing our conversation with her here, discussing how she got started in the true Wild West of drag, the power the art form has had on audiences and on Walter, of course the impact of Drag Race, and what the future of drag looks like.Want even more Alright Mary?

Our Teachers of Drag Race fantasy comes true with this week’s makeover challenge. We could talk all day about Sasha Colby in a parent teacher conference with America’s next Tamisha Iman, to say nothing of Intro to Art queen Miss Tang and Mistress cutting up after class. But who we have the most to talk about this episode is actually Loosey, including everything we didn’t see in the show. (Shoutout to the Roscoe’s Viewing Party!) Plus: a formative memory about Mrs. Beck, an addition to the family on the soundboard, Fresh Quotes, not the star of The Flight Attendant, teachers striking a pose, a reference queen’s lip sync, and a pissed Miss La Duca ready for a Comeback.Want even more Alright Mary?

Art imitates life this week as the Top 6 mounts this season's polished and prophetic Rusical "Wigloose"! We have much to say about the unfortunate inspiration for the challenge but we also have a lot of love for Salina EsTitties, even if we can't agree on those gloves. We get some mini therapy sessions with workroom Ru while Loosey's breaking point proves to be less entertaining than Mistress thinks and morphs into one of the more unfortunate edits of the series. Everyone shines in the performance, but none more than the music and vocals themselves. Given the heavy undercurrent of this episode, a little Kate Bush feels like an appropriate lip sync to close things out. Want even more Alright Mary?

It was really seven queens and about three good jokes in this week’s standup comedy challenge, but let’s be honest, the real star of the episode is that lip sync. We also get Sasha Colby (Taaaassha Gooollllby) quoting an Emmy winning icon, No More Mrs. Nice EsTitties having a mirror micromoment with Mistress, the pure rush of endorphins that was that mini challenge (unless of course you’re Aja), and Luxx and Ru having a volley on the runway that made us want to smear our lipstick (while doing the arm thing) and wear combat boots. If ever there was a week to save the musical theatre queen, it was maybe the one right before the Rusical challenge, but Ru’s the boss, bitch, and we say goodbye to the little lady from the house of Brady.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s a lesson in active listening this week as the queens channel their inner Barbara Walters (or, Hugh Downs in a wig) for the C-List celebrity chat show 50/50 (or 33/33/33 in some cases). Love Connie drives away with our hearts, and Luxx more than keeps up. Frankie Grande and Loosey just can’t stop quoting “Aliens,” Mistress misses her first beat all season, and Sasha tosses both her cards and Charo’s salad. A night of 1,000 Beyonces is 7 great looks and Marcia but this recurring theme is just nothing to get into formation over. The lip sync song choice puts the Bey in Basic, but Salina puts a nice ring on it and, while it’s not funny, the Babydoll is sent back to the crib. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s not just any old ball this week, it’s the Reference Ball! Or, no, the Crystal Ball. Either way it’s the 200th episode of Drag Race! If you like queens quoting queens, you and Luxx are in for a treat this week, as the mini-challenge, the producer prompted workroom banter and two of the runways are inspired by balls, gags and the most iconic bodysuit in Drag Race herstory. Mistress shines in her congenial era, Loosey’s all wound up, Salina is a good bro in the workroom, Ru gives us a prance and we find out what’s wrong, Anetra. Did Sasha Colby (Tasha Gooooolllby) smoke the competition, or are the judges high? Thyme’s up for Spice and she’s sent trotting back to the TikTok rack. Want even more Alright Mary?

It was a big week for Bruno! He got to call the balls (silently of course) for this week’s lip sync smackdown AND sit at the judges’ table! But more importantly, we got wall to wall lip syncs for 34 minutes, including some that just tore the roof off the house. Selina transformed Celine, Marcia put on more makeup (and won her lip sync!), Mistress didn't miss a beat, Spice did about as well as you would expect, and we were gifted with Anetra vs Sasha Colby (Sasha Coooooolllby). Speaking of Anetra, she and Jax spent the entire episode emptying the tank of all kicks, flips and ducks while Malaysia got double gooped, Loosey nearly lost it and Luxx lucked out. Ultimately one more Connecticut queen was sent home to Queens. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week’s acting challenge took a huge swing into absurdist territory and many fans said, “It’s not funny.” We found a lot to love, including the Too Many Queens opening credits, Sasha’s eye acting, that Latrice laugh and the mere idea of a surprise Danny Trejo. Malaysia and Mistress stole the show in both the challenge and the episode, and gave us lots to discuss about evoking the Bully Card and making adult decisions in a playground fight. Plus: Loosey’s Lips, a little EsTitties moment, Spice’s troll trot, and a non-specific goodbye message to Aura from a mother to her bitch. Want even more Alright Mary?

The Season 15 speed run continues with golden oldie girl groups this week. Metalgate almost turns the workroom into a mosh pit but we also get Mistress’s old school charm and Sasha Justice Corner. We give Robin more airtime than the show did, identify deeply with Malaysia, discuss campy Drag Race narratives, and have an impromptu PSA about a very important topic: stretching.

It's double the Snatch Game in half the time this week! On the upside, we got less time with the performances that bombed, but on the downside, we didn't get more of Tim Gunn, Rosie O'Donnell or Joan Rivers--or just about any of Sasha Colby. The runway was a bit of a Dragula crossover but the main event was the conclusion of this season's Act One headliners, The Twins, with a choreographed swan song of a lip sync that sent Sugar back to TikTok.

Heaven's a place on earth this week as 15 queens try to sell us on their version of the afterlife. To be honest, most of them needed a bit of divine intervention, though we can agree that God is good, either as a Dolly or a Colby. With just 43 minutes on the clock, we don't get a mini challenge, judges' deliberations or Aura Mayari this episode, but we do get a heavy metal runway, two little white girls lip syncing to Diana Ross and the end of Princess Poppy's brief reign.

We're kicking this week off on the main feed, but will be Patreon only after this!We get our feelings out this week on "The Real Friends of WeHo" and why we might still watch it, and reminisce again about the bizarrely fascinating social experiment gone wrong, Vanjie's 24 Hours of Love. We also take a walk down memory runway of some classic seasons of "Project Runway" so get ready to hear some thoughts on Angela Keslar and her poor mom. Plus: the state of RuPaul's Best Friend Race in 2023 and real early predictions for the finale of Season 15.Season 15 Bingo Board! Want even more Alright Mary?

It's been a long two weeks, but we finally have a new season of Drag Race! Season 15 has a record 16 contestants and is shaping up to be TikTok Queens vs. IRL Queens. And then of course, there's SASHA COLBY! This episode may stick to some familiar mini challenges and the tried and true talent show, but there's a slick MTV finish on it all, to say nothing of this charismatic pack of competitors, that has us excited. (Even if most of them lip synced to their own hype track.) And while it took no less than a solid 120 minutes before the first elimination this week, that's nothing compared to last season.

Peter's return to Neverland in Steven Spielberg's "Hook" takes us on a number of tangents and deep dives and rabbit holes, because Mary..."Hook" is so gay. From Peter Pan Syndrome to the chosen family of Lost Boys to the high diva performance of Dustin Hoffman, we have much to discuss this week. To say nothing of the dreamy Bob Hoskins, Rufio the mean gay, Tinkerbell the fairy chaser, Maggie Smith doing that old lady thing, some requisite daddy issues, and what it means for gay men to go to Neverland today.

This season came in like a lion and went out like a mysterious budget cut with a final floorshow that was unfortunately overshadowed by a picture at the final moments that spoke a thousand words. Or actually, spoke no words, because we have no idea why the season ended on a Jpeg and a tour promo. Regardless, congratulations to Victoria Elizabeth Black for the more than deserved title of Titan!Want even more Alright Mary?

Icons celebrate icons this week as the top 5 Titans bring their horror idols to life for the semifinal floorshow. To no one's surprise, Victoria takes us to Universal Studios but Hoso climbed out of that TV and under our skin. Koco serves Boulet Stepbrother, Evah's spaceship doesn't quite land and Astrud's hunt for a win this season leaves her neon Predator empty handed. While the Top 3 may have been no huge surprise, our bigger question is whether or not the other queens actually get to go on the tour. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week the monsters get their deepest and bluest for a sea monster floorshow. Evah’s tendency towards the dramatic works in her favor this week, but Melissa Be Over It and raises hell in the cauldron before melting down in the hallway.

The Love Triangle of Terror has been disbanded but the tension looms in the boudoir, so it's the perfect week for the Top 6 to be wrestling each other. (Even if it is all highly choreographed thanks to Best Supporting Emmy.) We're of course coo-coo for Koco's puffs this week, as well as Vicky's resemblance to a certain Oscar winning actress. Evah gives us some intense orgy ensemble acting, Melissa Be Nuanced in the confessional, guest judge Katya goes hog on Astrud's shoes and the bottom two know who they are and they're not done showing it, alright Mary?

The zombie prom themed floorshow this week is befitting of an episode rife with high school drama. The love triangle of terror continues to dominate the conversation, and our only hope is Koco Caine. We have much to say about eating brains, titty babies, Victoria as a future judge, our feelings for the Boulets, and our predictions for the finale. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week's Dungeons and Dragons inspired acting challenge sends the monsters on location, or at least out of the boudoir, to be elves and gnomes and barbarians, oh my. This naturally led us to some tangents on Medieval Times and the perils of Shakespearean comedy. Astrud geeks out, Abhora eases up, Evah has a moment and Hoso gets a bump on the head. Koco continues to steal the show, but finally earns a win for it, while Melissa excels as the head camp counselor, Vicky looks like Glenn Close and Erika is freed from the miserable time she's been having here.

It's sci-fi in the floorshow but a soap opera in the boudoir this week as the Ab-Hoso-strid love triangle dominates the conversation. Evah continues her run as camp counselor, Melissa be emotional in the cauldron and Koco always tells us the truth, when she's not busy making a gun in three hours. Kendra nearly saves herself with phone acting this week, Erika serves Suspiria red and a drop crotch, and Vicky is the Thing that Ate this Competition. Want even more Alright Mary?

in the words of Rosemary Woodhouse, all of them witches! And we do mean all of them, as Abhora saunters back into the competition and the love triangle of the season rears its pointy head again. The monsters are bringing their witchiest looks to the floorshow this week and the head of your high school drama club is here to judge. The curse of baldness and Votegate from last week fail to launch any new drama before the masked monster of the North is flushed into the afterworld. Want even more Alright Mary?

We're going towards the light, Mary! "Poltergeist" may not be the scariest movie on our shelves, but it is the one that features an Oscar worthy JoBeth Williams as an unstoppable Final Mom, Craig T.

We're back in the budoir with 10 familiar faces from seasons past for an all-star season of Dragula Titans! This supersized episode had supersized personal drama, including a love triangle, resentments harbored from exterminations past, and one monster's striking resemblance to a toilet bowl. About an hour in, we get to the challenge itself, before things quickly go the way of a Real Housewives reunion and end with a Double Dare style trap door elimination. Want even more Alright Mary?

Not to be confused with Penny Marshall in "The Looker," this week we're discussing Ryan Murphy's loosely inspired by true events miniseries "The Watcher." We love the New Jersey of it all, how much fun Margo Martindale is having and the extent to which Mia Farrow and Noma Dumezweni got the assignment. We could (and do!) go on all day about our love for Bobby Cannavale and his bedroom furniture. But seven episodes of red herrings that were all more interesting than the truth? And who exactly killed the ferret? Plus, our thoughts on and then impressions of Jennifer Coolidge, how we would have liked to see this all have gone, and the varied success of past Ryan Murphy productions.

We’re broing out this week on the movie “Bros”! While much has been said about its box office numbers or its production credentials, we have a lot more to say about what it did or didn’t achieve as an occasionally satirical but definitively gay take on the romcom.

It’s the final smackdown for $200,000 and another $50,000 for good measure! The Top 4 and Bottom 4 work their way through a round robin of questionably judged lip syncs, but not before a real last day

It all comes down to a variety show heavy on the dance tracks to decide who’s going to the finale, but as expected, there are twists. Luckily, it doesn’t involve a spray-painted plunger. A game-changing three stars for this week’s challenge sends Shea Coulee straight to the finale four with shoe-in Jinkx Monsoon. But the show stealer of the night is Monet’s ultimate diva moment. That pesky alliance helps decide the final four, but the game isn’t over, and this second showdown might be even more exciting. We make time for Fosse/Verdon and more bad porn sounds, we take a look back at variety shows past, and a new favorite joins the soundboard.

We’ll be covering Canada’s Drag Race on Patreon this season, but we’re kicking things off on the main feed this week! Our continental sister series kicks off with 12 new queens and strong old-school Project Runway vibes. We’ll warn you now, we repeat the name “Irma Gerd” more times than we say Mary, but we’re also enjoying Jada Shada, both of the Bae’s and cool big sister Chelazon. Brooke Lynn’s white shoes in the workroom send us on a significant tangent, to say nothing of Boom Boom’s cabbie hat. Miss F is up to no good, we’ve got another Ella Vaday Lookalike this season, and that lip sync song choice is one for the drawing board.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com

We don’t quite know why this week’s roast was named after Kennedy Davenport, but we’re just so proud to see it. While Kennedy couldn’t be there (except via Zoom), a ninth legendary All Star returns this week to do the honors. To the surprise of absolutely no one, Jinkx turns and it and burns it, nabbing her fifth win of the season and polishing her spot in the Top 4. Third time’s a charm for Trinity, Viv gives good British roast and Monet sinks her teeth into it. Everyone shines on the runway, the plunger gets flushed and this lip sync choice doesn’t reign supreme.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com

The queens are taking to TikTok for this week’s dance challenge wrapped in a branding challenge. While this challenge is right on Shea’s Alvin Alley, Yvie’s angst ranks her high, and Jaida is the true queen for all seasons, it’s Mother’s Day for Jinkx and payday for Monet, who serve a spoken word lip sync that’ll knock your lights out. We have high praise for the bonkers energy and fresh edit of the episode, some strong feelings on dance challenges and niche TikTok, and our own suggestions for future spoken word lip syncs.

This fever dream of an acting challenge is two parts Mean Girls, one part Black Christmas and, as we see this week, not all parts are equal. Jinkx makes the very most of it, Jaida plays the low notes, Monet lets down her hair and Raja shmacts her way to a Top 2 spot with The Crawford, all under the divine guidance of Janicza Bravo. Meanwhile, Untucked finds its way via party games, Michelle gives gorgeous praise on the runway and sends the two of us tumbling down the turnpike, RuPaul keeps it dumb and stupid, and we identify the worst of the air instruments.

All Stars is going old school Drag Race this week with a second design challenge! This time the inspiration is an imaginary Pinterest board featuring eight of RuPaul’s looks over the years, to varying degrees of memorability. Trinity and Jaida once again stitch a clear path to the Top 2, Monet covers all her bases, Yvie pays homage to Kimberly Goldson, Viv goes for the gold, Raja rips Ru’s look a new one, Shea’s got them ruffles on, and Jinkx has a purple leg. We have much to say, verbally and non-verbally, about sex sounds, how Pinterest works, what other potentially legendary looks they could have featured this week.

We queened out on Art by Cheyne in our recent “The Art of Drag” episode, and this week we get to queen out WITH Cheyne! We discuss what inspired his comic book cover art series featuring the queens of Drag Race, his inspirations, favorite queens and advice for other artists. We also talk about his Queeros and Protectors of Pride series, All Stars 7, Drag Race España and Thailand, Queer as Folk, Coco Peru’s pursuit for Tension Tamer,  and the multiverse of Drag Race!

This week’s episode is a strange early 2000’s MTV throwback to girl groups, but featuring boy band vocals and followed by a Dolly Parton runway. In teams of two, the queens take very different approaches to this, with Jinkx leading The Other Girls in a pseudo-acting challenge to a clear victory over the M.S.T.R. sisters. The runway has a lot of Dolly dilly-dallying, Tove Lo has a cake on her head, Ross disappears into Carson and Raja wears that hat.

The valedictorians of Drag Race take the stage in their magna cum laudest gowns to impart their wisdom to an undefined class of students of Drag U, a show we thought was canceled after three seasons. To the surprise of just about no one, Jinkx not only excels but could come back to Drag U and teach a class in how to do this challenge. Raja reaches for the stars, gets two and celebrates with a bemused shimmy during the lip sync, Shea plays a familiar tune on her grandmother’s accordion pleat, Yvie is a living example of losing is the new winning and we continue to be divided on our takes on the Tuck.

We’re kicking off Pride month with a bonus deep dive into the new gay rom-com with a little dram, “Fire Island”! We have as much to say about the movie as we do about what the movie is saying about class, status and social equity in this relatively tiny corner of an island. Plus: an In the Bedroom reference, the allusions to Pride & Prejudice, Erin’s story, fairies, ferries, $9 for Cheez-Its and the truth about the underwear party… For a much more personal take on Fire Island and our own gay vacation experiences, check out our “Gaycations” episode at the OnlyMary’s level on Patreon!

Once upon a time–this week, actually–the queens headed to court for an even more fantastical version of AS4’s “Jersey Justice.” (Judge Michelle Visage is still in leopard print.) We disagree WILDLY on this one, Mary’s, from Viv’s Little Red Lying Hood to Shea’s Halle Beary, and especially about Witch Theresa the Tuck and that porch of hers. We can agree that Jaida made the sharpest point on the runway (even if she doesn’t appear to be the sharpest crayon [pronounced “cran”] in the box this season). The judges take hyperbolic praise to a new level, Ru and Shea mix words, Jennifer Bowers Chapman plays it safe and Monet is the next queen to learn the secrets of the plunger… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

This week’s Wheel of Fortune inspired ball has the queens spinning to develop alliances and whip up a global rainbow of destination inspired looks. Jaida wins the challenge, the lip sync and our hearts, Raja misses the Top 2 by a hair, Vanna White is a potentially puzzling guest, and the Before and After theme inspires our own increasingly stupid suggestions. Plus: lots of allusions to Survivor, a requisite Real Housewives reference, some Roxxxy Andrews love, and who we think is about to pop next week.

We’re releasing Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, for free this week to kick off All Stars 7! We discuss the continued impact of Gia Gunn’s hapless and hopelessly quotable presence on Twitter, the refreshing release of the trailer for “Bros,” a couple unpopular opinions that didn’t totally make it to the main episodes, and finally, an extended All Star moment of appreciation, this week for Rusical rocking, whip smart Jaida Essence Hall and her bracket-winning performance as Madonna.

All Stars 7 wastes no time, oh at all, in dropping a second episode this week with a much anticipated and already legendary round of Snatch Game! Well, two rounds, actually, with all of the queens taking a page from the likes of Bob the Drag Queen and Nina West and serving two celebrity impressions. Jinkx Monsoon raises the bar to nearly unreachable heights with her Judy Garland, but her Natasha Lyonne is a solid opening act. Monet is a knockout as Mike Tyson, Raja transforms into a top Snatch Gamer, and Jaida’s perplexing Prince steals the show. Jinkx and the badge-blocked Trinity soar to the Top 2, but rumor has it Jinkx had this week in the bag and plunges Shea to a standstill.

Winning is the new winning as eight previous crown-holders compete in an elimination-free season with a $200,000 cherry on top! This week is your standard lyrics and choreography challenge, but the charisma and enthusiasm in the workroom, the whip smart reads during the mini challenge and the royalty on the runway are the reason to watch. To say nothing of a masterclass from Naomi Campbell and the presence of Cameron Goddamn Diaz on the judges panel! We end with an Ell’ of a lip sync and the first block of the season!

We’re singing a love song to ballads this week, Mary! And in particular, ballad lip syncs. We’re veering off of the usual Drag Race path to look at three amazing examples of what a ballad can be in a queen’s hands (or lips, as the case may be): the “Llorando” performance from “Mulholland Drive,” Sasha Colby living up to her reputation at Nightgowns, and Kennedy Goddamn Davenport going to the end of the road and back at The Oasis in San Francisco.   “Llorando” “Sasha Colby – My Mind” “Kennedy Davenport – End of the Road Medley”   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Queens have been lip syncing and live singing in musical challenges nearly every season of Drag Race, but this week we’re doing a Mary-sized bracket to determine the very Best Actress in a Rusical! 64 queens are up for consideration, but only one can walk away with absolutely nothing but our continued love and respect. And don’t worry if you can’t possibly remember over five dozen different performances; this is like one of those Time Life Music Series commercials with plenty of clips to jog your memory. Expect a lot of highly emotional and subjective decisions, an embarrassment of snubs, and some intense deliberations. Welcome to the off-season, Mary! Download the bracket HERE!

It’s been a long journey since June went home in January, but Season 14 ends in Las Vegas on the stage of Drag Race Live. The final 5 are given Leland produced songs and some backup dancers to perform with for about a minute and change, which just means more time spent watching RuPaul avoid eye contact with nearly everybody. Symone brings denim to the winners circle, Kornbread gets a nice consolation prize, Michelle gets to present a key, and ultimately Camden and Willow face off in a final performance that all felt very pre-determined. All hail Queen Pill, the people-hating, 1999-referencing, spaghetti bathing drag superstar we need in 2022.

The queens catch up before we wrap up the season, and we are reminded of the early outs we haven’t seen in months. Jasmine Kennedie takes a show-stealing role as the central point of interest for at least half of the reunion, Kornbread looks in a look, Daya has a Housewives reunion strategy, Angie has the most to drink, Kerri is officially called Narrator of the season, Maddy gets it in the boot, Orion tells a different story online, Bosco serves Cracker and June knows Bread.

While a music video for the semifinal challenge of the season is a little predictable, this episode certainly was not. Angie’s two white feet continue to trip her up in the choreography and Bosco, no longer in a corset and panties, instead serves suburban space mom. Camden tiptoes her way to the top, Daya finds herself in a sweet spot, and while you can’t spell “star” without “rats,” that doesn’t save rodent on the runway Willow from landing in the bottom against her best supporting bestie. Alas, RuPaul has one more chocolate bar tucked up her sleeve…   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

There is life before and after this week’s talent show, easily one of the best episodes in Drag Race history. (Just ask IMDb!) After an 11 queen reading challenge and a welcomed return of the Season 1 queens as a much needed studio audience, we’re treated to a night of singing, dancing, stripping, painting, birthing, keytaring and puppeteering. And a runway right out of Dragula features a whole crop of killer queens this season (and one hell of a tuber). Samantha takes another spin in the bottom against Ariel. but it’s game over for this evil resident on the runway.

RuPaul and Michelle have had their turns in the hot seat, but this season it’s Roast Mathews! The Top 7 take turns taking down Ross with, as per usual, varying degrees of success. Despite Dulce Sloan’s Masterclass, DeJa still puts her Bigfoot in her mouth, Daya is off beat, and Jorgeous just doesn’t have any fun. Meanwhile Angie serves pizza, Camden can’t stay out of Ross’s butt, Willow is saved by the lips, and Bosco, after winning the reading mini-challenge, redeems herself with a reading maxi-challenge and one sharp little number on the runway. A three-way lip sync sends Principal Skye home early, but at least she can hold Jorgeous’s hand as a double elimination also means its time for this season’s lip sync assassin to punch out.

The first week is the classic combo of a photoshoot mini challenge and a themed runway, with a healthy dose of social justice corner, backstory and potential feuds laid out in the workroom. According to PinkNews, fans are already calling for guest Gloria Trevi to be a permanent judge. Meanwhile, the fallen angel on the runway rises to the top and our first out is sent home with a ribbon.

Can we just go ahead and declare this the best Rusical ever? Yes we can can can, Mary! This week the top 7 star in a jukebox musical of RuPaul staples transformed into a masterful Moulin Rouge-inspired megamix. Lady Camden makes the most of a hairy situation, Willow Pill soars as a one scene queen, and Leland gives Best Supporting Top energy. DeJa walks dogs, Angie gets a Bea Arthur moment and Daya drunk-syncs. Unfortunately Bosco’s Saltine is a little dry and Jorgeous’s face doesn’t always keep up with her hips, sending the two into a lip sync that threatened to leave a vacancy. But worry not, because the drag gods/story producers have spoken….

Honestly Mary’s, this extra special episode was actually pretty extra special, in no small part because of Principal Skye’s workroom viewing party of this lip sync smackdown. Last week’s unfortunate seven duke it out in a race to the bottom, and we finally get to see some strategic gameplay that’s not just about the drama. Daya demands respect, Willow serves just enough and never too much (air guitar, that is), Jorgeous stops by to top a threeway, Angie serves enough stage presence to win two lip syncs (some would even say she did!), Camden earns a big hug and an award-worthy camera angle for the best performance of the night, and it all comes down to a beaten down Bosco against the piñata of the season, jazzy Jasmine, who spends the whole episode losing lip syncs and still leaves with a smile on her face.

Snatch Game rarely goes off without a hitch, but this season it barely got off the ground. Queens like Bosco and Willow have been making smart choices all season, but misstepped into muted takes on Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow. Angie’s Tammie was more beige than Brown while Camden made the tragic choice to be William Shakespeare (and not to be Joanna Lumley). Daya’s Ozzy and Jorgeous’s Ilana Glazer, well, weren’t, and Betsy DeVos tanked like Maxine Waters a few seasons ago, so fingers crossed we don’t get a Nancy Pelosi on Season 15. That being said, Michelle’s Investigation on the runway and Ru’s heavy kid gloves this week made for a refreshing take on a tanked challenge, and DeJa Skye finally nabbed a big win for her Lil Jon. Given how off the rails this one went, we had no choice but to instead spend more time celebrating Jujubee’s Cher on Drag Race UK vs the World, and of course break down Bob the Drag Queen’s formula for a good Snatch Game performance.

One of the goopiest seasons of Drag Race has a bit of a droopy conclusion as our final four lip sync for the crown and a real doozy of a musical collaboration with RuPaul. Baga, Blu, Mo and Juju run out of small talk just in time for the eliminated queens to pop by for one last runway. Untucked stirs up some old fashioned reunion style drama between Pangina and Jimbo, but it’s Lemon who gets the last laugh. In the end, Mo takes Baga out like a domino while Blu flexes and reflexes her lip sync muscles to defeat the Americans and nab it for Northern Ireland.

The Top 8 are talking dads, dadbods, dating and all things dudes for this week’s faux DragCon panel. It all feels more like the Pink Table Talk from All Stars 6, to be honest. DeJa and Bosco moderate their ways to top spots this week, Daya and little sister Jasmine continue their familial feuding, Willow gives bad handjobs and RuPaul can’t stop cooing. We discuss salty baristas, sex symbols like Lou Grant and Bob Hoskins, our own mixed emotions about DragCon, a surprise pizza queen, and who exactly won this lip sync.

Before one of these queens can win the chance to record a song with RuPaul, they need to write and record a song with RuPaul! This extended audition of an episode gave us a supersized Social Justice Corner, which got us on some pretty heavy topics this week, from addiction to religion to conversion therapy, so get ready to go deep, Mary. Pangina remains in the competition via a Best Supporting Purse, Juju throws the fucks around in the workroom, Janey’s gotta hum, Mo masks up on the runway, Blu lives and dies by the sword and Baga snags a safe passage to the finale.

Welcome to the 60’s, Mary! The Top 9 split up into three mid-century American musical acts to channel a bygone era of TV. And honestly, they all kind of kill it. Jorgeous talks her way out of singing, Angeria dials into Diana Ross, and DeJa wins the episode the moment she puts that robe on. Jasmine and Daya attempt to have workroom conflict, Bosco and Lady Camden are page turners in the reading challenge, Willow taps in as narrator and Kerri Colby packs up her classroom and takes our hearts with her.

No matter what happened in Snatch Game this week, the shocking elimination of frontrunner/perfect queen Pangina Heals is what most people will remember from this week’s episode. Needless to say, we have lots to say. And lots to celebrate still, including Jujubee’s crazy stupid Cher, Baga’s surprisingly studied Annie Wilkes and a variety of takes on cancel culture that we’ll have even more to say about in Nuance, once we’ve picked ourselves up off the floor… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary(discount code: AlrightMary)

In essentially an extended episode of Punk’d, the queens are serving high class camp and lowbrow punchlines in this week’s acting challenge with a twist. Let’s just say everyone’s inner saboteur comes out, some more forceful than others, but at least no one goes home for it. Lady Camden finally gets a win (not to be confused with wind), Daya means business on the runway, DeJa Skye refuses to stop giving Big Principal Energy, Jasmine Kennedie refuses to stop giving Little Alyssa Energy, Bosco champions the importance of backrooms and Kerri Colby continues to narrate the hell out of this season.

The queens bring the worst of the West End to life in a smash hit of a Rusical/CabeRu/RuView/fake BBC talent show. But the real drama begins much earlier in the workroom, with the reveal of Juju’s lipstick in Jimbo’s bra. Baga keeps it bratty in rehearsals but continues her safe streak, Blu joins her for another week, Mo cartwheels after them, Juju serves Liza with the minimum Minelli, Janey reaps the rewards for her Streep, Pangina delivers on grimey Annie granny, and we’re not quite sure what happened with Jimbo but we can’t say we don’t love what her surprise exit from the show has given us on social media and in post-show interviews. To say nothing of that iconic Vengaboys lip sync this week, which we in fact say a lot about!

The queens are creating next day deliveries of custom couture designed completely from Michelle’s Glambien fueled Wishlist. (Relatable content.) Another design challenge may have Kerri Colby hoping for a miracle, but as a narrator, she is an All Star. Meanwhile Daya is making points about this week’s judging, even if her method still seems vaguely familiar, Bosco assembles an homage to IKEA, Jasmine takes a page from an iconic Drag Race legend, Jorgeous cookie-cuts her way to the top and Maddy heads straight to the bottom. We queen out on stepfamily Christmas, that Chappaquidick reference, the glory of fresh school supplies and even squeeze in some Alanis talk.

Iconic Drag Race Thailand co-host and Drag Race UK vs. the World frontrunner PANGINA HEALS joins us for a bonus interview this week! We cover everything from her inspirations to her aspirations, her earlier success on shows like T Battle in Thailand to her relationship with Art Arya, how she founded the House of Heals, manifesting, the power of No, and the dream come true of competing on an international stage. We of course queen out on a couple of our favorite DRT moments and do a deep dive into her looks for this week’s RuPaul Ball. Suffice it to say, we’re completely gooped, Mary’s!

You can never have enough balls on Drag Race, or a more fitting inspiration for one than Ru herself. Our eight international superstars are whipping up couture looks inspired by Miss Paul herself to pair with a variety of interpretations of “kitty girl” and a butch runway that gave us a real Heart-on. (That’s Mo Heart, to be exact.) There’s a little Baga drama this week, plus Pangina’s pin cushion, Jimbo’s slit, Juju’s cold pizza, Prison Janey and a bittersweet farewell to one of our favorite Holes.

The queens are giving back to the Drag Race community with this week’s poetic parody PSA Save a Queen, dedicated to lifting up early outs of the series like Kahmora Hall, Jaymes Mansfield and Tempest DuJour (really). And while the elimination at the end of this week’s episode wasn’t terribly shocking, the one at the beginning of the episode certainly was! Kornbread shuffled out with another classic Injury of Drag Race, clearing the way for some more queens to become frontrunners. This week Bosco shot to the top like the Seattle space needle, Lady Camden was truly the tea, Willow continued to bring the house down and Orion’s sequel in this competition ended as quickly as her first story.

The first international all-star season kicks off with your standard issue talent show, and to be honest, a few standard issue performances from an otherwise delightful pack of familiar faces. Jimbo launched into the lead with lunch meat, Pangina emptied the tank and set the stage on fire, Blu proved to be a triple threat, Baga Chipz was mostly crumbs, Janey took off her clothes, Cheryl served pizza, the Americans sang, and Lemon jumped from a Canuck fan favorite to bottom of the pack. We’re thrilled that Mel C said she’d be there, we welcome more phone acting from Ru, take a peek at Juju’s journal and briefly take sides on the Wordle craze.

The queens are creating supersized trailers for satirical versions of a season of Drag Race that’s only just begun. And it’s one of the best challenges we’ve seen in a while. But how much of that is thanks to an “UNHhhh” level of editing? Who cares, we get Willow Pill desperately seeking Jeffrey Bowyer Chapman, DeJa Skye as both a Social Justice Corner queen and a cow, Bosco doing bashful brain surgery and Kornbread rolling off a table. The Night of a Thousand JLo’s didn’t necessarily have us getting loud, but we have nothing but love for Loni, we appreciated Ru’s appreciation of nuance, and speaking of Nuance…we’ll save our thoughts on that lip sync for the aftershow… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary(discount code: AlrightMary)

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.Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmaryEmail: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @alrightmarypodTwitter: @alrightmaryJohnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter)Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter)Web:www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/www.alrightmary.comBetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary(discount code: AlrightMary)

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.

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.

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.

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… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Instagram: @alrightmarypod Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary(discount code: AlrightMary)

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!)   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

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.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

*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.

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.

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.

It was supposed to be a reality show with a twist. In a sun-drenched villa in Ibiza, six hot guys compete for a cash prize and for the love of the beautiful and mysterious Miriam. It’s meant to be her big break: the moment she becomes the superstar she was born to be. But this is the era of “cruel reality TV” and the show producers have a different goal: they want to surprise the men with the fact that Miriam is trans. A new six-episode investigative series from Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and The Apology Line, and from Novel, HARSH REALITY is the story about love, lies, reality TV and a woman before her time: Miriam Rivera. Written by Agnes Borinsky and hosted by Trace Lysette. Listen to Harsh Reality: http://wondery.fm/HR_RuPaul

Things get pretty hairy on stage this week, but a lot less scary in the boudoir as the Top 6 settles into a friendly monster energy for hopefully the remainder of the competition. Zavaleta’s inner pre-school teacher is brought out, perhaps by that sweater and glasses combination.  The Boulets revealed the real reason in a recent episode of their podcast, and we discuss the pros and cons of their demonic intervention.  Hoso finally catches a win as a misunderstood monstrous moth, Dahli remains the frontrunner despite a familiar face and unfavorable shoes, Saint continues to serve more runway than floor show, Sigourney sags to the bottom, and our hearts break for Jade Jolie and her furry best friend.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Things are getting goulishly glamorous for this week’s haunted high seas floor show, but the monsters are making even bigger waves in the Cauldron in one of the series’ most chaotic conflicts. Dahli is the only one smooth sailing through this week while Jade finds a key and loses a seat mate in Betty, Saint’s biscuits aren’t rising and neither is she in this competition, Sigourney’s experience with glamour proves to be a double edged sword and Zava zeroes in on a new opponent.  Meanwhile, Hoso is questioning the definition of Glamour, the Boulets are stuck in their helmets, Fangoria is just kind of there and the goose of the season gets washed out to sea.

The perennial Monsters of Rock challenge usually leads to more than a few broken guitar strings by the end of the floor show. This season was no exception, though to be fair, things fell apart for Glam Rot long before they got on stage, and the real show was the encore in the Cauldron between Sigourney, Merrie, Jade, and Betty when she could get a word in edgewise. Meanwhile, Dahli finally nabs the win they came here for and leads Zenith to a clear and drama-free victory. We try to address much of the drama stirred up on social media regarding Merrie and Siggy, identify the goose of the cast, celebrate a quick cameo from a Dragula fave and question what it actually means to be “playing a game.” Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) // @johnnyalso1 (Twitter) Colin: @colindrucker_ (Instagram) // @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Our audio went a bit south for this week’s trip to out west, so apologies all around, but it’s a monster mashup of genres this week as the wild west meets outer space at its spookiest. We have much to say about who perhaps should have won this week, but we also have a lot to say about horse girls and old Vines. And we have a lot to say about that fact that Merrie Cherry has a lot to say. We also navigate Zavaleta’s emotional rollercoaster, celebrate Betty’s summer camp charm, and imagine Siggy and Dahli as a hot hipster couple. But alas our hearts are as heavy as Koco’s breastplate to see her ride off into the sunset this week.

To finish out this year’s Alright Scary, we’re revisiting Scream’s less impressive little sister “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” This movie unfortunately did not age well, and while we’re always excited for late 90’s nostalgia, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s heel-length dress, Elsa’s implacable anger, and the quick clean-up of those crabs were just some of the things we couldn’t get hooked on. Sarah Michelle Gellar is a bright spot in the cast, but we completely forgot about Anne Heche and the football star and fisherman in this movie look like Pilates instructors.  (But Freddie Prinze Jr. in that tank top can haul his crabs into our tugboat any day.) This may be a summer misadventure worth forgetting but it was a fun way to wrap up the spooky season!

There’s blood in the water for this week’s 60’s themed vampire beach party, pairing the monsters up as moonbathers with a mouthful. Season 2 standout and Resurrection runner-up Dahli casually strolls back into the competition, but the parent-child reunion with Astrud is short-lived this season when her bikini killer leaves a salty taste in the judges mouth. Bitter Betty is giving Elusive Elizabeth while Koco Caine can’t even with Merrie, though both are saved by the Boulets. Saint is canonized as the winner of this week’s challenge, but Dahli and Hoso were on our beach blanket bingo cards. Meanwhile, Vanessa Hudgens brings, let’s just say, a pizzazz to the judging panel.

Pass the chianti, because this week we’re raising a toast to Queen Anthony and Jodie the Great in the essentially perfect “Silence of the Lambs.” We’re celebrating the generous dose of camp sprinkled throughout the multiple Oscar winner, from the dandy Hannibal Lecter reading Clarice to filth to Diane Baker as Senator Ruth Martin wearing that impeccable suit. Plus: Brooke Smith singing Tom Petty in the car, the importance of the pets, best supporting Kasi Lemmons, Scott Glenn’s BDE, and the troublesome impact of Buffalo Bill.

Season 4 of The Boulet Brothers’ spooky, filthy drag competition kicks things off with a warehouse of horrors, a workroom of shade-slinging and a floor show full of legends. Familiar faces Jade Jolie and Saint keep it congenial, but La Zavaleta and Merrie Cherry make sure Brooklyn is well represented in the boudoir, Sigourney and Betty plan to take on this competition one tit at a time, and Koco is hopefully our narrator this season. Astrud ends up as queen alien of the week, but Hoso has an eye on the prize (and a button sewn into that eye), and Formelda Hyde wears club kid shoes, so you know what that means.

“Jennifer’s Body” is so much more than a 2009 version of “Species,” but it does feature one hell of a femme fatale in the form of Megan Fox. Amanda Seyfried meanwhile is a final girl with depth whose vengeful nerd rage rivals Carrie White in the final act. Plus we got a handful of great moms, a perfectly awful rock ballad, and not enough male butts. Plus: a jawbreaking omission, an Elizabeth Holmes impression, an appreciation of Diablo Cody’s journey to an EGOT and plenty of Marying out on all of the metaphors and allegories of this gory foray into female friendship.

James Cameron’s bombastic follow up to “Alien,” equal parts action and horror movie, may make us yearn for the Nostromo a bit, but more importantly it features our favorite cat owning, flamethrower wielding space mom, Ellen Ripley. The Extended Special Edition of “Aliens” gives us even more time in Act One with Ripley and Jones before pairing her up with eye candy like Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Jeannette Goldstein, to say nothing of one particularly beguiling robot. We’ve got mixed feelings on Newt, lots of questions about aliens taking elevators, thoughts on the subsequent sequels and prequels in the series, and unending praise for Sigourney “Susie” Weaver in an Oscar nominated performance.

Kathy Bates earned a much deserved Oscar for playing delusional and occasionally demented devotee Annie Wilkes to poor James Caan’s critically injured Paul Sheldon in “Misery,” and we spend most of this week’s episode praising her performance. We also Mary out on the overarching metaphor of addiction, the cautionary tale of Annie the Toxic Fan, Frances Sternhagen’s welcomed presence and fashioned sense as Deputy Virginia, what the movie would be like if Paul were a woman and played by Viola Davis, and some hot takes on Kathy Bates’s filmography.

Why aye pet, it’s already another season of UK huns! In this week’s special Patreon preview episode we give our first impressions and second guesses of the Season 3 queens, our takes on the first two runways of the season, and some strong feelings on those lip syncs. We have lots to say about the teen queens in the room, Anubis and Krystal, we’ll never say Kitty Scott-Claus correctly, Choriza may be an early favorite of ours, we appreciate the Home Alone fantasy that Ronnie Green and Scarlett are giving us out of drag, and we might start an advice column called Listen Linda.

Spooky season kicks off early this year with the announcement of a new season of Dragula! While the competition doesn’t officially start for another month, this week we’re discussing our first impression of this new crop of monsters, including an old familiar face from Drag Race here to potentially do backrolls over the competition. We also establish nicknames pretty early on for all of them, go on a brief tangent about Ripley and Jones in “Alien” and reminisce about some of the highlights of Seasons 2 and 3. We can’t help but wonder who will have spiders all over their tits this season….

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Gregg’s, the UK is giving us another season of drag royalty competing for potential superstardom once the show airs. This week we’re breaking down our first impressions of all 12 queens (well, 11 plus familiar face Ronnie Green), based largely on their Meet the Queens videos and very subjective evaluations. As per usual, we plan to be wrong (sometimes we even confuse past Dragula contestants for cancelled YouTube makeup artists) and look forward to falling in love with each of them in a couple weeks’ time.

The final four are putting the C.U.N.T in “country” this week for a classic All Stars finale. There’s not much left to discuss or do except to learn more choreography from Jamal Sims, have a 30 minute consultation on stage with Ru in Michelle, and write and record verses for a new Ru song. (Can you guess what it’s called?) While it was anyone’s race by the end, Kylie Sonique Love Hewitt Michelle Gellar Lange brought the most twang to her track, a subversive look on the runway and an ascended mastery of self in (Gu)Ru’s eyes, nabbing both an herstorical win for the series and all that “money honey.” 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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

While it takes a real cunning linguist to say the name of this week’s episode, the Top 5: Part 2 queens deserve snaps all around for this storytelling challenge. Ginger, now doing almost too well in the competition, is given the “too polished” note while Eureka’s triumph over trichinosis finally nabs her a win (and with that lip sync win, a total of $25k just under the wire). Ra’Jah very briefly forgets her place (and later half her look, in a genius runway), Kylie rises up by sitting and Trinity sees the writing on the wall before she even gets on stage.  We discuss who really won that lip sync, whether or not we want more cutthroat voting, why Drag Race is not Survivor, body types in the gay community, The Masked Singer, and being in the closet about having a Drag Race podcast. (Also, somewhere in the second half of the episode we need a moment to just vent about dumb people, but eventually we get back on track.)

Crunch crunch, munch munch, Silky Nutmeg Ganache is here to eat the competition for lunch. The infamous game within a game is finally here–a weekly lip sync showdown between eliminated queens that very quickly becomes Silky’s unstoppable rise to potentially compete again with the Top 4. (Who, by the way, in a meta twist, spend the entire episode watching Drag Race with us. Ra’Jah provides great commentary throughout.) Along the way Serena squats, Jiggly pops and Yara strums. Scarlet looks the part, Jan breaks the stage and Pandora gives it a fair shake during Silky’s clearest victory lap. Will Eureka’s mom’s Life Alert be the lucky charm she needs to bounce back into the workroom, or was Silky finally caught with her pants around her ankles in that last lip sync? We have no idea, Mary.

Ooh baby, this week’s Drag Tots extended promo/design challenge really ended with a boom clap of a lip sync, and reigning assassin Kameron Michaels had something to say about it. We kick things off this week diving into the end of the episode, when both queens did the best they could with what they were given, which was also a running theme for this challenge. The PTSD flashback to junior high of a mini-challenge mostly knocks Moody K Bonet off her axis for a bit, but bossy, messy, gassy, shady Eureka laughs it off and gives us big BSA energy all the way into Untucked. We discuss our own cartoon characters, the meaning of Mexicatessen, school play trees, Untucked music, expectations for the forever teased game within a game and some All Stars 6 superlatives of our own.

Six celebrity Snatchelorettes try their luck at love and improv in this week’s perennial gauntlet of a challenge, Snatch Game (of Love). After Phyllis Diller and Dolly Parton play verbal volleyball over Whitney Houston’s head, Eureka serves extra helpings of a Divine that’s just fine, Ra’Jah lights up as LaToya and Pandora’s Kim Cattrall leaves us Samantha Jones’ing for more. While there was a lot of pop art on the runway, most of our fashion talk this week is about Cheyenne Jackson from the bare ankles down. We also have some strong feelings about Broadway singers doing mainstream albums, some brief climate control confusion, probably unpopular opinions on the lip sync song and a Last Chance Lip Sync you’re just gonna hate.

This week’s girl group challenge takes on an activism twist with inspirational lyrics about self-love and positivity. (Okay, this may not be that much of a twist for a Drag Race song.) Jan takes the self-love note and runs with it, all the way to the bottom, joined by Pandora and her two left feet. The real twist comes when Mrs. Mateo shows up with not one but two lipsticks in her titty, for a melodramatic conclusion to Jan’s pitchy peaks and valleys run this season. Well, until the game within the game, but we already have our predictions for who’s gonna win that. RuPaul loves a bombshell, Zaldy brings some much-welcomed fashion expertise to the judges panel, Freddy gets fingered and Trinity bugs out on the runway–and pulls into the lead with a much-deserved second win.

It’s already time to say “adios” to a fabulous season of Drag Race, but not before putting the Top 3 through the usual finale paces. We have less to say about the reunion than we do about the final challenge this week, and even then it’s mostly thirsting over Carmelo Segura. Killer Queen kills the challenge, Hugaceo and Arantxa steal the runway and Carmen wins the competition before the lip sync is even over with a brilliant wig reveal that left us dripping. We also discuss the merits of Ricki and the Flash as a future Matreon, make a surprising discovery about A League of Their Own, and answer the question on everybody’s lips: is Charlotte Rae still alive?

This week’s supersized ooky-spooky acting challenge casts the queens as witchy women from the world of Ryan Murphy–including some unfortunate typecasting of Jan as Leah Michelle, a perfect Pandora Crawford, and a lovely Lange from Kylie Sonique. (But how does it compare to Michelle’s?) Angela Bassett turns up to share some radiant wisdom over Skype, Ra’Jah gets misdirected to drop the voice, and A’keria is cursed with three times in the bottom. Kylie’s boobs win the lip sync, but Jan’s overalls adjustment wins the episode.

The queens become ladies who chat this week on Pink Table Talk. First things first, can we get an extended cut of Trinity, Eureka and A’keria’s roundtable kiki? While Ginger won fair and square this week, we could watch that team queen out all day. Meanwhile the Jantasy has seemingly ended with a full on Dogvillination of Ms. Sport, who of course we try to defend this week. And ditto Scarlet, who was hardly as uncomfortable to watch as one of her fellow tablemates. Mayhem zips by to challenge Ginger from Finance to a $30,000 lip sync of “Phone.” Miss Minj earns every penny (c’mon, Aunt Peg!) but we can’t help but wonder what Trinity K Bonet might have done.

Our final four Spanish reginas are giving birth to a quartet of rugby player-sized baby queens for this week’s makeover challenge. Pupi’s poison all season has been her rough aesthetic and it unfortunately transfers to her drag daughter, while Carmen’s season-long perfection results in a true “She’s All That” moment for her partner. Sagittaria spirals out of orbit as a non-sewer with two looks to make and Killer Queen is the true winner of the week for getting to personally tuck Fernando. We queen out on Supremme’s goosey charms, the chaotic joy of the final lip sync, Give Me More queens, Envy Peru, and our plans for Season 2 of Drag Race Holland.

Pardon the crunchy audio, we caught up on Skype while Johnny’s on vacation in Mexico this week! Meanwhile our ten remaining superb owls give us a hoot of a halftime show, ranging from a wide-eyed Fergie to a shaky Shakira. While no one was in the red zone, Jan’s goo-goo Gaga and Trinity’s A+ Beyonce were the ones we’d most like to see an instant replay on. We huddle up on some strong feelings about Madonna, sack the notion that the Curse is broken and punt some ideas of who fumbled and who was just given a bad pass. A’keria C. Davenport being in the Bottom 2 was the most offensive line of the episode, but Jessica Wild’s victory dance in the end zone was a true touchdown.

We’ve seen some one-sided lip syncs before—even earlier this season when Inti quit—but none have been quite as fascinating and even frustrating as Dovima’s decision to just stand there while Sagittaria danced around her and Carmen cried in the safe zone. There are lots of tears this week, including from the judges, as well as Killer’s instinct for kindness, a puppet challenge that was no Lamb Chops, a roast that may have been a little undercooked and a clear path to victory for Farala.

This week’s episode gave us two long overdue redemptions: Trinity K Bonet won a main challenge and lip sync assassin Laganja Estranja won All Stars 6.  The marketing maxi challenge and re-do’s on the runway are practically afterthoughts to one of the most exciting lip syncs of the series, which we discuss beat by beat, as well as a deeper appreciation of Silky’s rocky road after Season 11. We also come to consensus on who Scarlett reminds us of, present a similar question about Yara, try to solve the mystery of Pandora’s role this season, and continue to query about A’keria.

This week’s acting challenge features the filthiest high school in Spain, with an undead Carmen stealing the show with those bananas, a wet and wild Principal Pupi, Sagitarria with a rising moon in Uranus and Hugaceo at her horniest. The runway is a literal art museum that had us saying, “Hello, Dali!” with guest judge Alaska on the judges panel calling most of the shots and certainly helping Pupi finally secure her first and much-needed win.

If there’s one thing Drag Race isn’t giving us this year, it’s blue balls. We not only got an All Star talent show this week that sent Serena out of the competition and into the game within a game, but we had 36 looks on the runway for the Blue Ball. Yara’s bounce to the top becomes a sag to the bottom when her breastplate does her no favors this week and her tarp dress looks like a tarp dress. Jiggly at least does better than her iconic baked potato couture of Season 4, but that’s unfortunately not saying much and her bedazzled blanket sends her to the bottom two. But is there another queen being unfairly spared? Did Trinity’s hilariously literal crossing guard “STOP” her from landing in the top spot? The true highlight of the episode is an Untucked exclusive meltdown in a parking lot, featuring fuzzy slippers, a looming sunset and a poor PA just trying to keep them on schedule. We also have some STRONG disagreements on a certain Janet Jackson song, but not the one featured in this week’s lip sync, and we make some early, early predictions for Top 3 based on two episodes and no spoilers.

Get ready for another season of redemption, reinvention and in the case of this week’s talent show, repetition, as we kick off another season of All Stars! 13 familiar faces (well, more or less, thanks to fillers and Botox) return to the workroom to not only get their hands on a crown and scepter, that ubiquitous $100,000 and maybe some cash tips for lip syncing along the way, but introduce or re-introduce themselves to an ever-growing Drag Race audience. (Well, so long as they’ve got Paramount+.) That means a lot of performances of new, original songs in the talent show–but at least Scarlett mixed things up with bubbles, Trinity tried to break the bad luck streak of comediennes past and Ra’Jah made a dress, and everyone sweat, in just 60 seconds. Yara may not have been showing off her years of hard work and professional training (hi Jan!), but she jiggled her way to the top as breast in show and duked it out against Coco Montrese to the impossibly heterosexual “Uptown Funk.” As she’s wont to do, Serena cha-cha’d her way out of the competition, but the game within the game has just begun…   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   BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Whether it’s Down Under, over the border or across the Atlantic, Snatch Game is always one of the most highly-anticipated challenges of a season. Spain not only paired theirs with a reading mini-challenge but a full on ball on the runway, resulting in 21 looks and well over half of the episode dedicated to the main stage. While fave of the podcast and gold star pizza queen Arantxa does end up sashaying away, Killer Queen emerges as more than just the spitting image of Tyne Daly, our love for Pupi hasn’t pooped out and Sagittaria is finally in our orbits.

It’s time for the queens to prove they’re a triple threat–a quadruple threat if you count a football mini-challenge that ends up being the least chaotic part of this episode. In teams of two, they’re selling women’s lifestyle magazines, running for dear life on a treadmill while lip-syncing to “Cha Cha Bitch,” and acting out bizarre mprov sketches that involve slapstick lesbianism and familial phone sex. A hometown roots runway is the final straw for a misunderstood Inti, Supremme divinely intervenes, Dovina and friends have a singalong, Arantxa wears a ham backpack and we tangent into some very heated discussions about pizza.

While this episode was primarily a classic girl group challenge, the singing and dancing portion of the episode was largely overshadowed by a Veneno-inspired runway and queer royalty on the  judges panel.  Carmen snaked her way to the top of the pack while Vulcano fell from those platforms to the bottom against Arantxa in a quintessential pizza queen look.

The Drag Race empire expands to Spain!  It’s your classic first episode of the first season format–photo shoot and a sewing challenge–but with a decidedly goosey Spanish twist. The cast is full of charisma, the drag is exciting, some of the contestants are just as exciting out of drag (Vulcano…) and Supremme and friends on the judges panel are a deluxe delight. Not to mention the workroom is the size of an IKEA showroom. The episode wraps with an exhaustive lip sync that sends a potential commentator home, but gives us a refreshingly melodramatic exit.

C’mon, All Stars 6, let’s get Paramount+ accounts! The game of second chances is back with another season of seasoned queens, from Pandora and Yara of yesteryear to Jan and half of Season 11. To say nothing of a longtime favorite on this podcast, Trinity K Bonet, the surprise of Serena, a welcomed third go of it for Ginger, and the big Barkin energy of Kylie Sonique Love (Hewitt Michelle Gellar). We make super early predictions, hypothesize on casting choices, call out a missing queen, and close things out with some birthday Björk.

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.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

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.

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.

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.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

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.

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.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Makeover challenges usually mean suddenly putting a lot of new people in the workroom and trying to quickly introduce, explore and resolve their stories by the time they hit the runway. By keeping it quarantined this season, we instead got to know the Top 8 a lot better by seeing them become someone else. We also had visions of producer prompts for Char Margolis, high praise for Symotica, some raised eyebrows about one of the pairs’ makeup choices, and opinions on whether Denali deserved to skate away this episode.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Snatch Game is a guaranteed mixed bag each season. While the Season 13 girls avoided some of the bigger cardinal sins (doing Beyoncé or Lady Gaga), it was clear Symone and Gottmik had truly done their homework. (Why Symone ended up just safe this week is the bigger sin.) We also discuss the key to a good Rue, Tina sweating her Richard Simmons, how to make Bob Ross a filthy pig and our top picks for Snatch Game choices we’ve yet to see.

The competition pauses this week to take a look behind the scenes of prepping for and then filming a season of Drag Race during a pandemic. We don’t have as much to say this week about the episode itself as we do about our own feelings around COVID era taboos, the trouble with social media, navigating a concurrent mental health crisis, and of course, the joys of creating imaginary narratives about people a la Trish in Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Rusicals have become a seasonal standby for topical humor, from the Kardashians to the Trump administration. This season the queens take on the behemoth of social media. While Rosé blooms this week, the judges were not living for Tina’s death scene and did not leave many likes for Symone or Kandy. Anne Hathaway provides some virtual encouragement from the wings, Denali has a Judy Blume kind of week, two taxis pull up on the runway and Gottmik gets us in the end.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

The true winner of this week’s Bossy Rossy improv challenge is really Ross Mathews, but we have much to say on Olivia’s masterful miming and Symone’s divine Deborah. However, we have differing opinions on who should have won not only the challenge but the lip sync between LaLa with 2 L’s and Elliott with 2 T’s. We also discuss Tina’s role this season, familiar wigs, origin stories, Party of Five, 90’s talk show hosts and the bossiest of bosses, Judith Light.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

This week, the queens are channeling the late 70’s with a disco dance-umentary and then bringing the early 90’s to the runway with often literal little black dresses. Evan Ross Katz joins us this week to help chart what feels like an oddly produced episode this season. Olivia Lux shined for sure, but did she truly outshine the rest of the cast? Did anyone even do that poorly? And since when were we judging queens on performance looks? Things reach a seemingly inevitable conclusion in the Lip Sync For Your Life, pitting Kandy and Tamisha against one another hot on the heels of last week’s Untucked feud. Sadly the lady says go home to the mother of the Iman dynasty, and Kandy finally shows the judges the vulnerability they’re looking for with a BSA-worthy breakdown.

It’s RuPaul’s Bag Race this week with the first ball of the season, dedicated to satchels, sacks, and fanny packs. No surprise, even this long into the series, but some of these girls don’t sew and it shows. Utica’s patient guidance inspires us to cast her and eventually the entire cast as staff and students of a K-8 primary school. We also discuss the peculiar energy of Ru’s workroom “walk ups”, what we would create for this challenge, and of course break down the breakdown of peace in Untucked between Mrs. Iman and Kandy.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

We finally have a full workroom of queens this week, and we’ve brought on a guest to help us officially kick off the competition! CJay from “Can We Kick It?” and “Straight Talk with Ross” joins the conversation to discuss Symone’s Drag Race, Denali’s lip sync assassination, Utica’s face journey, Kandy’s rebranding (and that cowboy hat), and why you don’t want to act up in church with Tamisha.  Follow CJay on Insta: cjaylyfe His Podcast: Can We Kick It? or on Twitter: CJayLyfe 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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

It’s déjà vu all over again as the six Pork-Chopped queens return to the race for a couple more fashion shows, requisite chaotic choreography, another main stage performance plugging Ru’s Vegas show and still no eliminations. But this week mother truly arrives as Tamisha Iman becomes the ultimate adult in the room, Utica sails into pizza queen territory (on a boat made of French bread), Joey Jay finally and frequently goes wigless and frankly, we have questions about Kahmora Hall’s boyfriend.  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 BetterHelp Promo: betterhelp.com/AlrightMary (discount code: AlrightMary)

Last week we had six lip syncs in one episode, and this week we got three runways and a live show! Granted, half the queens spent the week in their hotel rooms, but that just meant we had a chance to fall in love with Lala Ri, see a more vulnerable side of Gottmik and bask in the glow of Olivia Lux. To say nothing of Symone TKO’ing the competition once again this week. Despite a fake-out with two T’s, no one’s been eliminated yet, and frankly, we’re not ready to see any of them go.

To anyone who’s said that Drag Race is getting stale, Season 13’s response is, “What about this?” This week remixes the typical premiere episode we’ve come to expect from the season with six lip syncs before the queens can even get their catchphrases out. Does this mean half the cast was eliminated in week one? Not necessarily, but we do see a lot of them thinking otherwise. Symone steals the show, the crown, and our hearts, but Olivia Lux also shines, Tina burns it down, Rosé doesn’t quite rise, Denali skates through the challenge and Utica gives us 7-11 legs on day one.

For our special ‘Free Skate’ patreon movie for the holidays, today we discuss 2011’s Bridesmaids which we feel is the gift that keeps on giving. These wise, funny women followed the stars and brought us 4 notable scenes (the engagement party, the dress shop, the airplane, and the bridal shower) begging for a deep dive. We queen out over each performance, explain why we didn’t need the Police Officer Rhodes storyline, and how this movie keeps the party going to the last “I Do.” Whether you need a distraction or a hearty laugh for two hours, this movie is just the last minute gift you might be looking for.

2021 will be teeming with queens with both Season 13 and Drag Race UK Season 2 kicking off in January.  That means this week we have 25 new names and faces to get to know, share some hot takes on and make mostly baseless predictions about! As usual, we expect to be mostly proven wrong over the next few months, but are excited to see if Symone or Olivia Lux are going to run away with their season, whether Tamisha will warm up or fans will have a sweet tooth for Kandy Muse. Across the Atlantic we indeed fancy a slice of Ginny Lemon, are excited to meet Joe Black, and are already on a nickname basis with Ronnie Green. But despite the duvet, don’t sleep on Sister Sister! Find out which season we’re more excited for, our thoughts on this show as a US vs UK platform, and which queen we’re ready to see sashay away first.

Patreon Flashback: Imagine if Home Alone was just a 10-minute Christmas movie about a rich AF mother’s journey to get to her son and it starred Catherine O’Hara. That’s essentially the movie we discuss on this week’s Alright Merry. Of course we discuss (a lovely cheese) pizza (just for me), John Heard, John Candy, and who Colin would play, but we do our best to highlight as many nuances of Kate McCallister as we can.

A Special Patreon Flashback: This week we discuss the drag queens of Showgirls and dissect why this movie fails so perfectly. Liz Berkeley only has two actions, nothing in the movie is sexy, Kyle MacLachlan shows us his brown eye, and Gina Gershon leaves us … deceased?

This week, two major races come to their rightful conclusions. Congratulations, of course, to the next Dutch drag superstar, but first we need to spend nearly 20 minutes queening out on a clip of VP-elect Kamala Harris on the phone with Joe Biden. Then we discuss this perfectly fine finale challenge, with some choreography that needed more pump and bump, a runners-up runway that needed less awkward clapping, a loving send-off of this season’s surprise pizza queen, the puzzling return of Drag Race’s worst guest judge, and the crowning of Miss Envy Peru after a stellar showing all season. We wrap things up with a truly celebratory last chance lip sync as this marathon year of Drag Race recaps finally comes to an end.

Drag Race Holland’s 11:00 number is a musical fit for a queen, as the final four give Maxima the royal Rusical treatment this week. Then it’s an unofficial red, white, and blue ball on the runway, leaving us with not much to say about the looks and more to say about the problem with just being pretty. The competition is Envy’s to beat at this point, while Janey Jacké pulls out another win before the finale, MaMa Queen pulls on some pants and Abby pulls through after 4 lip syncs.

Surprise, Sydney! We’re ending our “Alright, Scary” season this year with a discussion about the 1996 (classic?) Scream starring Neve Campbell. We delve into some of the details of this movie that we love, gush over the bathroom scene, praise some of Neve’s line readings, and of course pick apart why that opening sequence is a film in and of itself.

Drag Race Holland peaks this week with a wonderful, heartfelt makeover episode featuring three proud parents talking casually in the middle of the workroom. We got beautiful tears from most contestants and judges, the first drag dad ever in the franchise, Abby OMG is safe another week despite not having any fans, and a mini challenge that featured a winner’s nuance from Envy Peru.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

Love is in the air in Studio C in Simi Valley this week with another round of Snatch Game of Love! Alexis serves up a shady psychic, but couldn’t have possibly seen the drama coming later when India channels her Snatch Game character to stir up trouble in the workroom with rumors of conspiracy against Shea. Meanwhile Juju continues to deliver Drag Race excellence with a hilariously direct Eartha Kitt, while giving good mouth and cat pictures in her confessionals. Plus: an unnecessary Lady Gaga, RuPaul feeling her oats in that dress, and Little Sister Vanessa popping up at the perfect time to potentially send her mother home.

This week’s TMZ-inspired improv challenge was, well, no hot scoop. While we were alternately intimidated and aroused by the bro-fest in the SheMZ offices (led with ascotted perfection by Carson Kressley), the biggest highlight of the three scenes was mostly Ross Mathews. Then it was camo on the runway, giving us a war zone of choices from Blair’s butterfly bush to Mayhem’s bathing suit. We also get Morgan’s cape, Sarah Hyland’s unfortunate self-introduction, and Michelle getting untucked.

It’s not uncommon for a season of Drag Race to lose the plot a little on the third episode (Shakesqueer, anyone?), but this week really went on a sudden vacation. The eight remaining queens are tasked with the ever-relevant task of designing themed hotel rooms. The results are, as expected, not exactly Fodor’s favorites. A 3-in-1 runway makes us nostalgic for Drag Race Thailand, the judges’ critiques are meticulously “crafted” for social media chaos, and the lip sync is surprisingly more of a mercy kill than an assassination.

It wouldn’t be a season of Drag Race without a girl groups challenge! The nine remaining queens break into trios to create celebrity crush-inspired verses for “I’m in Love!” which is not only the title of the song but 60% of its chorus. Shea emerges with a frontrunner performance, a frontrunner runway, and a frontrunner lip sync, Blair thinks pink and it doesn’t stink, Ongina’s feathers are ruffled by a sore throat, self-doubt, and Mz Cracker, and an old favorite is our new pick for pizza queen.

All Stars rules go out the window again—and a few new ones blow in just in time for 10 more stars of the series to return for Hall of Fame status. While the beats are familiar, with a good old fashioned reading challenge followed by a good old fashioned talent show, it’s a fun ride from the moment Derrick fake hugs India Farrah. While some frontrunners fell short this week, we may have already identified our Pizza Queen, as well as who we’re not sold on yet, and who we think might be our narrator this season.

The 12 troopers of troubled Season 12 sissy that sleeping bag for a slumber party-style reunion. Ru wears a latex facekini and Bieber hoodie, but it’s 2020, why not? While nothing new is necessarily revealed and any conflict is purposefully performed, it’s a welcomed kiki after a kooky couple of months. To be honest, the biggest highlight for us was the cameo from Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin serving “your dad’s friends” realness.

The final five are taking a trip down the Vegas strip for this season’s semifinal. In an extended promotion for RuPaul’s Drag Race Live in Las Vegas, the queens are singing, dancing and rapping three numbers that were at one point before quarantine filling the seats at the Flamingo every night. Gigi goes from Goode to Great, Crystal does the Dump again, Jaida exudes confidence even with autotune, and let’s be honest, Jackie won the lip sync. We also get dance daddy Jamal Sims, the return of Leland (now with Stitch), and just so many questions about the finale.

This week’s lineup of one-woman shows had six very different interpretations of the challenge. While Jackie brought earnest TED talk realness, Crystal plumbed new depths of stupid to secure her first win. Gigi hit a fair bit of turbulence during her high-flying concept, Heidi’s family food fight got messy, and when it came to telling this particular story, Jaida really should have held it in.

This week we chatted with Lil Miss Hot Mess, one of the first queens to host Drag Queen Story Hour and the author of the new children’s book “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish” (Running Press Kids). We discuss the inspiration behind the book, the ways kids understand and appreciate drag, and what these kinds of books can do for many queer adults. We also discuss Lil Miss’s PhD work, the evolution of digital drag and what makes a performance legendary. “The Hips on the Drag Queen Go Swish, Swish, Swish” is now available wherever children’s books are sold!

Six drag daughters were born this week and some of them we half-expect to see back on a future season! Superfans of the show are the subject of this season’s makeover challenge. Crystal’s method may not have gotten her a win, but she and Opal were total gems this episode. Janet the Planet had us seeing stars, Heidi needed to find something else in her closet for Honey, Gigi continued a so-so streak, Jackie and Lil Snackie left us hungry for more, and, well, Jaida Essentially Has This Season in the Bag (Hall). The episode ends in the rare but requisite Double Shantay, but should Ru have killed the lights on one of the bottom two this week?

A reality TV star became president once, why couldn’t it happen again? The Season 12 primaries are down to 6 queens this week vying to be America’s Next Drag President. It’s no debate that Jaida won by a landslide. Heidi and Crystal were strong moderates while Jackie was too liberal with the Canadian jokes. Gigi’s repeat robot gig probably should have put her against a weary Widow in the final lip sync, but the electoral college of judges spoke otherwise (and instead gave us some iconic patriotism from Jackie). Regardless, we’d happily take 4 more years of Goldblum/Bloom as guests.

Jan may have been selling the hell out of the Jantasy, but the judges just weren’t buying it. This week, the queens craft some GOOP-inspired crap to sell to the masses in a commercial directed by the fab, fit, fun Bob Harper. (Also, how about that FabFitFun-sponsored reading challenge? Was it a more fab and fun fit than a traditional reading challenge?) Heidi nabs a win for her efforts this episode and season so far, Jackie is Adult in the Room excellence, and Crystal continues to be the true dark horse of the competition. While Jaida’s frontrunner status remains secure this week, Gigi’s schtick isn’t working so good and Widow must channel Chaka to send Jan Sp*rt and her veritable backpack of tricks packing.

This week’s Madonna Rusical was a nearly immaculate collection of the Queen of Pop’s many identities over the decades. Despite Jan’s best attempts at expressing herself, Gigi struck a pose (and won the challenge) like there was nothing to it. Just like a prayer, Crystal and Jaida both took us there, but it seems nothing really matters to the judges when it comes to Widow. Heidi’s ray of light dimmed a bit, Jackie sang like a virgin, and Brita learned the power of goodbye. All contestants need to take a bow, though, because this episode got us back into the groove.

As much as things have changed lately, we can still rely on one thing staying the same: a classic round of Snatch Game on Drag Race. Gigi solves a problem like Maria the Robot while Jackie Cox pulls out all the props as Mrs. Harry Hamlin. Apparent New Yorker Brita gets close to being told she is in fact going with her jaw-y Jennifer Holliday, Aidan is rocky horrible as Patricia Quinn, and at least Crystal didn’t try to do El DeBarge. Then it’s Disney on ice on the runway and the season’s biggest feud ends as expected in a flurry of a lip sync.

Pick me, choose me, crown me! This week’s acting challenge is inspired by the emotional triage of Grey’s Anatomy. But the real code red is in Untucked this week, where Heidi puts the room in the ICU with some well-placed FU’s. Meanwhile Nicky struggles to show her funny bone, Jackie continues to be benign at best, and Aiden puts Brita into near cardiac arrest for being safe.

This week’s elimination certainly rocked our expectations for Ms. Sakura this season, but this isn’t the first time Drag Race has had a surprise elimination that got everyone talking. While Gigi Goode continues to do well, Jaida truly bubbles over in this week’s Ball Ball. Meanwhile, Brita falters, Aidan avoids a penalty for her rough referee, Nicky insists she’s more than just a doll, and Leslie Jones has the time of her life, your life, and everyone else’s life as guest judge and Untucked Oprah.

While the World’s Worst wasn’t the world’s worst episode we’d seen, it certainly lacked the X-Factor of past improv challenges, with many of the queens idle at best. We’re not saying Season 12 doesn’t got talent, but Dahlia’s wilted broccoli was a no for us, dog. Also, this definitely wasn’t Shark Tank, so we’re not sure why Widow’s team was selling nut butter. Then it’s appliqués on the runway with buttons, bows, and blousy sweater dresses. Crystal’s method is questioned, Heidi nose how to charm the judges even if they hate her name, and Nicky is hanging by a thread.

It’s deja vu all over again with another Season 12 premiere! 5* more queens enter the workroom/public eye this week and are put through similar paces as the first 7, with a fashion show, a stage show, a runway show and a legacy lip sync in front of the artist/judge. It’s a lower key premiere, including a mellowed out Robyn on the judges panel and a stripped down cellblock tango, but we’re excited for Jan’s *beep*, the zaniness of Aidan, Rock M’s role in the room, Jaida’s whole essence and Dahlia’s armpit hair.

Put on your best leprosy print and pass the hummus Mary, because Season 12 is H-E-A-R! Well, sort of. In the first of many goops, only 7 of the 13 queens competed this week in a drag crash course of fashion, group choreography, and rapping in front of Nicki Minaj. Despite Heidi’s surprise aversion to kale, Nicky’s mental jet lag, and Jackie’s five o’clock shadow, this week was not about cutting down the competition. Is this shaping up to be a kinder season of Drag Race or are we counting these North Carolina chickens before they’re snatched?

We discuss the show’s treatment of pageants, find connections with The Comeback and The Wizard of Oz, Running-With-A-Purse-In-The-80’s acting style, RuPaul finding his groove, and we praise Latrice Royale as the series’ best actress.

It’s that time of year again, Mary’s! A new batch of queens have arrived for Season 12, and whatever Drag Race fatigue we were feeling disappeared through the gap in Heidi N Closet’s teeth. Once again, New York is heavily represented in the workroom, from the refreshing Brita to the batty Nicky Doll. But Missouri loves company, so we’ve got two queens representing the state this season, plus a San Francisco treat full of tricks, the Essence of Milwaukee, a bedroom queen from Georgia, a sinful sibling from Aja’s drag family, great drag from a Goode queen and the revelation that is Heidi.

The season 7 reunion/finale double feature is a great reminder that a lot of the season’s charisma was eliminated each week. The top 3 perform final lip syncs that are, well, FINE, Trixie tries her Ru impression out on Ru, Kennedy’s mom doesn’t do audience participation, Ginger has robot feet, Max gets one last drag, Kandy is candente, and Katya is the clear winner of the season.

And the rest drags on as the Top 4 performers act, dance, lunch, and bicker their way through the final challenge. Guest instructors Candis Cayne and Mathu Andersen are worn down by wig mishaps and flat line readings, Ginger backtracks and back combs like a true pageant girl, Kennedy trades pride for wrath in Untucked, Violet doesn’t like drag competitions and Pearl proves, despite her age, that she really does know how to condone herself.

Hello Kitty, Goodbye Katya. This week we’re revisiting one of the oddest balls in Drag Race herstory, the Sanrio-sponsored Hello Kitty Ball. Santino returns with his no drag knowledge mouth, Kennedy bows under pressure, Violet is giving us chastity cage realness, Pearl serves face on stage and faces in Untucked, Ginger Minj is on the fringe, and Capitalism conquers Communism with the fall of this season’s Siberian pizza queen.

The top six pair off in a trio of dancing duos, mashing up two genres and two genders for one just FINE episode. So fine we spent about twenty minutes discussing Oscar predictions. But it’s an interesting look back at baby Trixie, Untucked at its un-produced best, Alyssa Milano in diamond studded maternity wear, Ginger in her element in the lip sync and a rabbit hole fantasy of wartime era husbands in house dresses.

Just like the first seven eliminated queens (“Tempest?”), we are back… covering Drag Race Season 7 until All Stars Season 5 and Season 12! While the results of this challenge have us torn, we are completely attached to this mini reunion of a star-studded cast. The true drama and power this week exists in this episode’s Untucked where Kennedy’s affixed on her pageantry, Tempest connects the dots on a conspiracy theory, and the coupling of Ginger and Sasha brings us the type of behind the scenes buffoonery we show up for week after week.

All fingers point to ten in this week’s special off-season episode where we countdown the top 10 best fingers of Drag Race. We’re serving finger puns, nuanced digits, and two palmfuls of love for these special finger pointing moments throughout the seasons. Did we miss any, Mary?

Spoilers ahead, Mary! Turn back before it’s too late!  It’s finale time, and you know what that means—shady choreography edits, fake podcast interviews, claims of this being everyone’s dream Top 3, and the queens telling a framed photo of themselves at age 5 that it’ll get “much better”! While The Baga de Campo form a tight top trio, the real winner of the season was not The Vivienne, but the battered sausage scrubber herself, Baga Chipz! We discuss that and other superlatives of the season as we wrap up coverage on what’ll hopefully be the first of many seasons of Drag Race UK (And that means more accents!).

Mum’s the word this week as the Top 4 turn their moms and sisters into drag family members. Divina is having a divine time of it with her sister, The Vivienne’s mom showed up in camo, the Chipz are down for Baga and the Holes must navigate some pitfalls in costuming. While Sacka Spuds emerges as the unlikely BSA, we also spend some time recognizing the true mom of Drag Race—Michelle Visage—and exploring the nuances of our own relationships with our mothers, and most importantly, what kind of drag we’d put them in.

Things get a bit slippery for this week’s commercial challenge. The final five are selling branded water to the masses and spilling scalding tea in the workroom. Divina is feeling salty over The Viv’s shallow opinion of her, Blu might be in over her head, Baga’s getting a bit swampy, and Cheryl is keen to make a splash in front of her namesake. The judges’ decisions may not have left us drippin’, but the humanity of what happened offstage was certainly refreshing.

There’s a bit of uncertainty on Confidence Corner as The Vivienne goes from front runner to back of the pack in this week’s girl group challenge. Crystal struggles to shine, and Cheryl not only holds a note but carries her group. Meanwhile, Team Blu Baga de Campo delivers a performance so good (that legography!) that they not only nab three Ru-Peter badges, but a top spot on iTunes! The runway is a tight day at the races, but Divina wins by more than a nose in our books.

The cornerstone of a Drag Race competition is finally here (and wow, did it make a splash in the pond): Snatch Game! The Vivienne trumped them all while Baga Chipz stayed strong as iron, Blu Hydrangea’s runway was eye-opening while her snatch game character was blue, and Crystal’s Rue wasn’t so clear. Davina honked her way into our hearts despite some traffic around Confidence Corner and Sum Ting Wong proved to be so right. Was the premiere UK season’s Snatch Game living up to its hype?

Spoilers ahead, Mary! The Dragula Season 3 supermonster was crowned and we have celebratory thoughts. It’s good to be king! Landon Cider landed in the top as Season 3’s official supermonster. (In the words of another supermonster, we’re so proud to see it!) Dollya delivered impeccable glamour and THAT SKIN DRESS and Priscilla made us sick with filth, but Landon downright deconstructed a queer classic (and its heroine!) with his horror floor show, and continued to be an inspiration in the boudoir. (On an unrelated note, the last 15 minutes of this podcast episode is riddled with bad accents. Eek!)

It’s a Toot or Boot Sale in the workroom this week as the Top 8 try to style trash with panache. The Vivienne fast forwards with another blockbuster of a look, Baga gives us a sack’a scrubbers, Vinegar goes out of print, Cheryl (Chaz!) gets fingered for her fashion, and Davina assembles an ingenious idea out of IKEA. Sum Ting’s look wasn’t that wrong, but her lip sync was just right.

The Hell Mouth is coming to a close, but before it does, we have one last supper (or drink in this case) with our dearly beloved Dragula monsters. We discuss Landon’s energy, Dollya’s maturity, Hallow’s meme being, and Louisianna’s precision. The second half of the episode we provide a post mortem going back through our favorite looks, challenges, and quotes of the season and even throw in a real throw back to a questionable Alright Mary segment.

And the BAFTA goes to…well, maybe no one in this week’s Downton Abbey inspired acting challenge, but Baga Chipz certainly did MUCH BETTER than some of her fellow queens. The Vivienne continues to be the doyenne of the workroom, Divina’s divinely inspiring and just doesn’t see it yet, Sum Ting Wong does some things very right this week, at least in talking about her coming out story, and Scaredy Kat is sent off to the pound, though we suspect nine lives on that one… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.alrightmary.com

We may be saying “Boo!” to this week’s elimination, but we are two pleased pumpkins to have Brooklyn drag king GOD COMPLEX on the podcast to discuss the Top 4 of Season 3 of Dragula!

The premiere of Drag Race UK is serving British royalty realness this week! Our ten new heirs to the throne are giving us hometown glory and Buckingham Palace monarchy with two looks on the runway. Crystal pounds the stage and earns some coin, Sum Ting Wong stamps to the top, The Vivienne reaches great heights despite the flats, and Cheryl Hole needs a handbag. It’s a bitter start for Vinegar, Gothy’s breathy roaring barely makes a peep and Scaredy Kat has really got her dander up. Michelle picks the wrong nose, Alan Carr offers a cuppa in his dressing room and RuPaul is just having a smashing good time.   Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter)

Look at all the freaks! This week our monsters compete to be the main attraction at the Freak Show and Louisianna emerges as a real staple of the season by facing her fears all on one leg. We applaud Dollya’s decision to defend her drag, question Priscilla’s penchant for putdowns that pummel too hard, and analyze Evah’s self-destruction that has been tapping at her all season. Colin tortures Johnny with blueberries, Johnny campaigns for Miss Nelson’s drag persona, and a top three prediction rears its ugly head. Who is in your top three, Mary?

Jan Sport joins us this week to Mary out on the monsters, celebrate being a reference queen and talk about what’s next for Stephanie’s Child! The six uglies left standing are serving medical mystery realness for a haunted hospital photo shoot. The conversations in the boudoir are the real highlight, though—both Landon’s defense of Hollow and Louisianna’s revisiting of her roots. This season has veered straight into kind media territory, and it makes our black little hearts skip a beat.

Alright Mary is two parts Drag Race viewing party, one part queer studies lecture and a healthy dose of obscure pop culture references, all wrapped in a nuanced layer of dad jokes and pun-offs served weekly with a side of piping-hot tea. Follow as we deep dive into RuPaul’s Drag Race, the world of Drag Race and the paradigm that RuPaul has created with this little (bidi-bidi) TV show.

Reduce, reuse, revolt! The monsters are turning trash into fashion this week and making magic happen with markers for makeup. Priscilla has a moment interrupted by Hollow having a moment before rising to the top of the trash heap in the floor show (and interview with Season 2 pizza queen/calzone queen Disasterina!) But the real drama was what we didn’t see re: Hollow’s censored look and subsequent meltdown, bringing up a lot of questions around what’s allowed on TV and what is an apparent nightmare for all platforms.

Maddelyn goes mad for the sake of good TV, Hollow incites Babygate, Dollya parents her grandmother, Maxi Glamour serves Masky Glamour, Evah discusses her reconstruction, and Israel comes in.

We were just gooped to chat with the iconic Simon Doonan about his new book “DRAG: The Complete Story,” some of the amazing drag icons he discusses in the book, his own experience in drag, the evolution of comedy drag, why now is a good time to be a drag king and of course, the use of the nickname “Mary” in gay generations past and present!

Rock out with your emotional honesty out! The nine remaining Uglies break off into bands for Dragula's staple of a rock challenge this week, but we waste no time celebrating the Big Mom and Big Aunt energy backstage from Louisianna and Hollow.

While the claws aren't out yet this season yet, the fangs are this week as the ten remaining monsters transform into Vampire Queens. Ironically, the king of the room rules this challenge, but Hollow's confidence and worm reveals also take a bite out of the challenge.

If you're looking for a wonderful way to end a televised drag competition, look no further. This season 2 finale really stepped it up in terms of production, emotion, and drama. The three finalists gooped, gagged, and utterly broke us down with their talent. We can't believe it's over... but we're happy we watched this *after* watching RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 finale.

It's been a stampede of queens this season, but only five remain to deliver white elephant eleganza--and of course, produce their own verses for a music video. But luckily, that means we get studio time with p'Gene and some vogueing 101 with p'Debbie! Frontrunner and Alright Mary favorite Angele Anang veers into Silky territory in the final lip sync, but is still the queen to beat against superstar returning contestants Kana and Kandy. We then catch up with the entire cast (except M Stranger Fox) at the reunion, where Katy Killer likely breaks her knee and we remember who Maya B'Haro was.

Johnny gets emotional over the lip-sync song and Colin connects mostly with those elders in the mini-challenge. Also- Art is double booked this week on the runway so we're left with the Pangina as the baby-sitter home from college for the summer. This was a good one.

Vanda gives us a horny Cardi B, Srimala slays us with her quirky old lady drag, Bandit is perfection in yellow, and Tormai wins our hearts with a helicopter and a water gun. The real drama happens on the runway when Angele shows us the creation of her body and Vanda struggles to reveal herself and the judges are left... Hungry.

*Spoiler Warning: this interview may contain spoilers for Drag Race Thailand Season 2* Make a wish, Mary! This week, we get to talk with DRTs2 queen Genie who graciously offers up her journey to the Drag Race Thailand stage, behind-the-scenes logistics, and some wonderful perspectives on drag.

It's dinner and a show this week with the Top 6 whipping up delicious designs inspired by classic Thai cuisine. We also get a pretty extensive crash course in cooking from the dreamy Chef Fang, which sends us on a long tangent about desirability politics and sexual preferences. Angele Anang serves up an amazing green curry (and interesting makeup choices), Bandit breaks her yolk but not her safe streak, Smirala is a good egg, Vanda should have ordered out, Genie's an acquired taste, and while Tormai isn't everyone's favorite dish, we'd certainly have seconds.

Ironically, on the "power of speech" episode, we had a slight technical difficulty and Colin's mic crapped out 22 minutes in, but that didn't stop us from queening out on the Top 8's talk show circuit, Bandit's mature wisdom in the workroom, and Genie, Tormai and Vanda's powerful speeches on the runway. But of course, the biggest goop of the episode was the rigor morris called out at the 11th hour by Mocha. Pangina came painted to read this week and delivered the toughest love we've seen from her yet (babe!), teaching Mocha a powerful lesson in handling things maturely.

In the wise words of CeCe Peniston, finally! We’ve reach the end of Season 11 (and 6 months of nonstop Drag Race)! The final four bring their best reveals to this showcase showdown, from Brooke’s SHOE reveal to Yvie’s Free Britney bloomers, while Vanjie gets an entire segment to herself and Nina reclaims her “Meh.” Ultimately, the odds are in Yvie’s favor, and we’re so proud to see her freak frag (sic) fly as Current Fucking Raging!

To be honest, this episode is more about the island of Curacao than it is about the Season 11 reunion. We were both a bit underwhelmed by the highly-produced reunion episode, so instead of hating on it for an hour and a half, we plucked out the highlights, and diverted onto other topics like the gay wedding Johnny’s attending (in Curacao), the seemingly arduous task of DJ’ing, meeting Mary’s, and sleeping on Muriel’s Wedding as a Matreon movie.

After a season full of surprises (lest we forget last week's tragic hero elimination of Nina West), this week's final challenge felt like it was covering familiar territory. A'keria's choreography journey, Brooke's musical risks and Silky's black panties showing all feel like stories we've seen before. Yvie is the exception, rebounding from a string of low performances to the top of the heap, while Vanjie proves she is the queen of making exits.

Season 11’s narrative goes south this week with the elimination of Nina West—especially considering that it was Silky’s less than smooth lip sync that earned her the shantay. (And of course: “Meh.”) While we’re heartbroken, we’re celebrating the pride of season 11 this week with some of our favorite Nina moments. And also questioning the (admittedly fascinating) Silky narrative, the perpetual (and slightly uninspiring) rise of Brooke Lynn Hytes, and the vandalism of Vanjie with this week’s win. We untangle Wig Gate, enjoy another shot with Soju and close out the episode on a needed high note for our Last Chance Lip Sync. Go West, Mary!

We feel a bit sawed in half about this week’s magic act, Mary! Nina pulls a hell of a rabbit out of her hat with her triumphant stage performance, but the disappearing act the judges pull on Shuga Cain is a real sleight of hand. Silky seems to have no new tricks up her sleeve, Yvie’s dark arts are losing their luster, Brooke Lynn’s mom made our lashes vanish with an emotional video message, A’keria is spellbinding despite a flighty interpretation of the runway theme and Vanjie conjures up one more chance to prove herself with some bewitching caftanography.

Rescue 911! Somebody save this episode! Okay, so this week’s improv challenge was no crime against humanity—A’keria and Brooke are certainly innocent!—but in the lineup of Season 11’s episodes, this one is certainly suspect. Silky is practically bugging the judges to serve time in the Bottom 2, Nina and Shuga struggle with being bystanders in their scenes, Yvie is a star witness to A’keria’s winning turn and someone needed to call in Animal Control on Plastique and Vanjie. The cat fight turns into a Bottom 2 lip sync, but was the wrong queen sent away? We plead the fifth....

Ahoy, Mary's! This season's Snatch Game is hitting the high seas (because it's a great way to tie in their sponsor?). Nina West does a first class job of teaching the children about both Harvey Fierstein AND Joanne Worley, but Silky sets a course for victory with TS Madison (or is that Silky in a 22 inch wig)? It's queen overboard for Brooke's Celine and Vanjie's "cash me outside" meme of the moment, but Yvie's wishy-washy Whoopi keeps us from getting the inevitable Branjie lip sync just yet. Also: A'keria gets a life preserver from home, Ru points at the stars, Nina's boy drag gets cruised and I managed to go this entire episode description of vaguely nautical puns without making a single poop deck reference.

Plants on the runway! This week’s design challenge has the queens feeling their oats, wheats, grains, thins and oatmeal—and a whole array of other food groups—to create high fiber fashion on the runway! Plastique gets three mommies, Yvie gets fed up, Shuga gets fed, RaJah isn’t afraid to bark, Silky isn’t as smooth as she thinks, A’keria is your aunt who plays football, Nina West is Snoopy, Vanjie sounds off in Untucked and Brooke wastes no time showing personality with those reaction shots.

Yvie’s honesty is put to the test while Vanjie talks through her tears in the work room. Nina West brings us operatic drag while Scarlet cuts a rug and a dress to try to stay in the competition for one more week. While Akeria finally takes home the gold, Rajah qualifies through one more last dance despite her 3rd time on the bottom.

RuPaul’s throwing a monster mash this week for this season’s ball challenge. Most of these queens tend to serve more beauty than beast—and we’re not sure how half of them are trick-or-treating in those outfits—so it’s a runway big on ooky, but not quite spooky (besides Scarlet, who is somehow just safe this week). Ariel, like most mermaids, isn’t great on her feet, but was swimming away with that lip sync until that flip of the fin, and Brooke Lynn is, believe it or not, the only mummy on pointe in RuPaul’s Drag Race history.

This week, there is collusion among the queens for a lip sync musical extravaganza inspired by both Grease and the grease fire that is current events. Nina West continues to win the popular vote, Ariel struggles in the primaries, and Brooke and Vanjie might be rigging each other's polls. The Divine Miss Minj makes an appropriately ginger cameo, Silky snags a win that could be considered fake news, and RaJah air guitars no less than three times in the lip sync but still gets the electoral vote from the judges.

On this week's Nuance, we dive into Yvie and Silky's battle of principles (complete with a non-sequitur of a dress reveal), how important it is or isn't to know pop culture references, which diva we could host a televised prayer circle for, and who deserves to be awarded. this week's Best Supporting Actress.

Praise be, Mary! The queens are ministers of the good word of musical divas Mariah Carey and Britney Spears, but only one group can ascend to the heavenly safety of the Untucked lounge. Nina West, on the third challenge, has risen, and Vanjie is making the most of her second coming. But a vengeful Ru casts a plague of lip syncs on half the queens, giving Honey a hell of a time for falling from grace--I mean, the stage.

We had our very first live show at the 2019 Listen Up PDX Festival in February! While Portland has lovely people and delicious potatoes, it also has legendary drag, including the oldest working drag queen (with a Guinness World Record to prove it!), Darcelle XV! We had the huge honor of sitting down with both Darcelle (aka Walter Cole) and Portland's premier drag clown Anthony Hudson (aka Carla Rossi) to discuss what exactly is Portland drag, how the city's drag scene even started (it's largely thanks to lesbians!) and the experience of watching the queer community evolve through some of its most formative decades. This was a really amazing experience--a big thank you to Listen Up PDX for making this happen! @ListenUpPDX (Twitter) Follow Anthony Hudson at @thecarlarossi everywhere!

Do you smell Oscar buzz from this week’s double feature acting challenge? Yeah, neither do we, but People’s Choice Awards for sure to Nina West, Plastique Tiara, Shuga Cane, and of course this week’s Best Actresses — a tie on Drag Race, can you imagine?! — Yvie Oddly and Scarlet Envy. We’re then seeing stars on the runway with astrologically inspired couture, but it’s just not in the cards for Kahanna this week once Mercedes finally revs into high gear in the lip sync.

The wait is over, Mary’s! The Season 11 premiere is teeming with queens new and old—as well as a refreshingly re-engaged RuPaul. Vanjie is gunning for Narrator from the start—but we’re not mad at it, Mary! We’re also living for Canada’s Brooke Lynn, and are bringing our sweet tooth (sweet teeth?) for this season’s pizza queen. And then there’s Hurricane Silky, a cavalcade of Davenports, some serious BDE from Yvie Oddly, and the potential cast for All Stars 5 in the photo shoot.

And the winner is…well, there’s room for everybody, let’s just say that! All Stars 4 saved one more goop for the finale, crowning both our pizza queen Monet X Change and pageant royalty Trinity the Tuck in a last minute twist. We explore the arguments for and against the tie, celebrate the unequivocal Best Supporting Actress of the episode (if not the season) and discuss the inherent meritocracy of Drag Race and how All Stars changes the game and potentially the foundation of the show.

This week on All Stars, the final 5 are brunching and bitching as the cast of Sex and the City (and their unnamed characters for copyright reasons) in a threequel no one asked for. Meanwhile, we couldn’t help but wonder… who wrote this script? But all is forgiven this episode once the topic of NUANCE comes up in the workroom! Then it’s a revival of Cats on the runway (plus one airbrushed lion), Janet in the lip sync, and finally, the Top 4 of All Stars 4. Meow, Mary!

The queens get by with a little help from their Judy's for this season's makeover challenge. The Top 6 are serving chosen family resemblance realness--though some are more like distant cousins or ex-spouses who once hosted a variety show together. We discuss how Judy Garland had (and hadn't) kicked off the Stonewall riots and find plenty of Best Supporting Actress nuances to nominate. We get into report cards vs. strategy, which runway looks sent us over the rainbow and why Naomi is a ninja star.

This week, our hot takes on the Season 11 queens have cooled just enough to discuss who we’re excited by right off the bat, who we’re keeping a curious eye on, and what trends we’re noticing with this season’s cast.

HGTV meets downtown NYC as the seven superstars still standing split into teams to curate the hottest party you can have in a cubicle on a soundstage in Simi Valley. Monet and Monique are putting the E.T. in meet & greet, Latrility are a’buzz with bee puns, Naomi carries the weight of Club 96 on her skinny shoulders and it’s last call for Valentina’s French vanilla fantasy.

Put ya lighters up, it's a RuPaulapalooza! Or is it a LuLaRuPaZa? A Lululemon Pizzeria? Either way, all the eliminated queens are back to duke it out in some All Stars lip sync death matches. Latrice isn't mad, but don't get it twisted, she is back to attack Monique Heart for bypassing her path to the crown. Is she possessed by the Spirit of Delusion, or just giving us the drama we've been asking for? Also, is Trinity nervous? Gia seems to think she looks nervous. Naomi bends but doesn't snap, Farrah works on her hair toss, Valentina channels her inner Alexis Michelle, Jasmine, for one brief moment, reminds us of her mastery, and Monet and Manila have the easiest week ever in Drag Race history.

The queens pay their disrespects to RuPaul’s dearly departed best Judy—the original pizza rat herself, Lady Bunny! In this roast of the living dead, Monet and Manila burn the house down while Trinity and Naomi are dead on arrival, Monique calls on the spirits, and Valentina’s on life support. Despite an instantly iconic Top 2 lip sync, the All Star rules are changing this week, and some familiar faces are back in the workroom. Everyone is officially gooped, but hey, that’s showbiz.

Manila Luzon faced a true maxi challenge on the runway last week when her first choice for a runway dedicated to padding was deemed “distasteful.” We bring lots of question marks and exclamation points to the controversy over a period, then dive into some hot takes on who’s making it to Top 4 at this stage of the game.

It's disorder in the courtroom when the queens duke it out in a small claims court off Exit 7 of the Garden State Parkway presided over by the questionably honorable Michelle Visage. This week's improv challenge inspires some questionable Jersey drag, but Monique's ironbound commitment and Manila's new arc as the queen to beat take them both to the top of the turnpike. Latrice is feeling unpleasant at this point, Monet narrowly misses her exit and Trinity is guarding her state in this competition by maintaining a union with Valentina.

In this week's Nuance, we chime in on the state of Snatch Game in the series and what the future might hold for this consistently anticipated episode. We then take a deeper look at Snatch Game, comparing how this season's all star queens performed on their own seasons' Snatch Games and how often past winners of this checkpoint challenge go on to win or get close to the crown.

Trinity Taylor's stodgy Caitlyn Jenner and Manila's muppet-like Streisand shine while Gia Gunn hangs on by her fingernails as Jenny Bui and Latrice is once again not having it with this romper room fuckery, but this time as Della Reese. Valentina lives her telenovela fantasy in the Bottom 2, Naomi continues to ninja through the competition, Monet and Trinity try not to laugh through a produced fight and narrator of the season Monique continues to be gooped.

Merry merry, Mary! This week's Matreon episode is a surprise Christmas open skate for all of our Mary's as we revisit a VH1 production of A Christmas Carol from 2000 starring Drag Race alum Vanessa Williams as the titular diva Ebony Scrooge. The movie is a total cheese log, but it's worth it for an oddly sexy Bob Crachett, some lukewarm acting from Chilli as this version's Marley, Kathy Griffin with her old nose as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and the seductive musical stylings of Desire.

Alright Henny! This week the queens are auditioning as back-up singers for Season 3 sweetie Stacy Layne Matthews—well, sort of. Stacy doesn’t actually sing either of the songs. We’re not quite sure what she’s doing here. But it doesn’t really matter because the real star this episode is Gia Gunn taking aim at Farrah Moan. We also get to the heart of the matter with Monique, fantasize about Sister Act 3, wave a bandanna at Kacey Musgraves, lust a little for Leland and gag over a magical micro-moment from an otherwise mellow Manila (runway aside). And oh, that lip sync-- we were "into" it.

Oh say can you see, Mary! All Stars 4 kicks off with some USO realness as the returning ten queens kick, flip, tuck and—well, whatever Jasmine was doing—for an audience of LGBTQ veterans. Monique and Monet extend their trademarks into talents, Manila keeps it conceptual, Trinity teaches us a lesson and Farrah learns one. It’s a tame start in a season full of superstars, but we’re keeping an eye on Gia Gunn’s tendency for target practice, Valentina’s virtuous potential and Latrice’s wabi-sabi star power to keep things interesting this season.

Merry Christmas, Mary! The Alright Mary aftershow is back!

For the reputation that Season 7 gets, it definitely has one of the series' tightest snatches--Snatch Game, that is. From Kennedy's rootie-tootie Little Richard to Violet's nail flying off as Alyssa Edwards to Pearl's grotesque interpretation of Big Ange, there's a lot to love here--and a lot to question (Why did Ginger also win this week?). And while Max delivers a dulled Sharon Needles, it doesn't justify the egregiously shady edit she gets on the runway. Also, she looked better in gray.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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'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.

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.

Before we head home to Season 7 of RuPaul's Drag Race from our summer vacations into Drag Race Thailand and Dragula, we thought we'd take a week to reflect briefly on DragCon 2018 NYC and give you a movie review of one of our favorite queer movies that deserves a larger discussion: Carrie (1976). It speaks to that queer kid in all of us. Trust me, Carrie....er... Mary.

Before America's next drag supermonster can be crowned (and covered in blood), the exterminated seven are reanimated to join the Top 3 for a family dinner hosted by the Boulets and catered by Meatball, where we FINALLY get into the infamous Monikkie shame. Then it's on to the final floor show. After some compelling testimony in the boudoir from each queen, we get a cavalcade of glamour, filth and horror, including James Majesty getting mustardy, Victoria Elizabeth embracing her inner blackness and Biqtch eating more than just pudding....Which queen will take home in the crown?

Mad Max meets Max Factor in a Four Horseman of the Apocalypse inspired photo shoot before a group performance in the evening that, well, happens. We get a welcomed return from our Season 1 supermonster, Biqtch being the adult in the car, Abhora emerging as the most nuanced contestant, queens beating the snot out of each other with foam bats and LOTS of questions about the logistics and social customs of Wasteland.

Biqtch Puddin' not only kills the challenge but the extermination as well with her gifable reactions.

Our Top 3 Southeast Asian sensations are back for one more round of challenges before the crowning--only this time, it's in front of a live studio audience! Drag Race Thailand's finale may be one of the best--not only do all of the eliminated queens return for a brief reunion and get to give us multiple looks throughout the night, we get Pangina in performance, Art Arya running the show with an iron fist in a velvet glove, a host of past guests on the judges panel (hey Christoris!), a lip sync with ANOTHER twist and fierce final performances produced from head to toe by the Top 3 queens themselves before the winner is finally announced for "Drag Race Thailand debut season!"

Our Thai top four may be at the last 100 meters, but it's going to be an exhausting sprint to Top 3! That being said, Annee Maywong lives up to her nickname (the one we've given her, anyway) of Anne May Win, because she sweeps this entire episode, from makeup mini-challenge to Songkran goddess on the runway. All of the eliminated queens return for a mini-makeover/unconventional materials challenge before the whole cast puts on an extravagant soap opera that puts every other Drag Race acting challenge to shame. The game of musical chairs for Top 3 reaches an emotional conclusion on the runway for our resident pizza queen, but this journey to the finale ends with the same joy and positivity we've come to love all season. Come through, kind media!

Drag queens need to know how to market themselves--and what better way to practice than marketing some SIM cards care of Drag Race Thailand sponsor LINE Mobile! Our resident elephant queen sweeps the episode with her trunk and her charm, while Jaja gets a little coo-coo and Natalia Pliacam gives us flashbacks to the furry in "The Shining."

Amadiva blows us all away in her reading challenge, Natalia Pliacam gives us nuance nuance nuance as Miss Sumanee(that's three drinks, Mary), and B Ella blows us all away as she emerges as a comedy queen alongside JaJa. We comment on the first negativity from a guest judge toward Annee May Wong, find our disagreement with the runway/lip sync outcome (an elephant never forgets...), and of course... we are gooped, gagged, and waving our hankies at that intoxicating lip sync! As Pangina Heals says, "Thank F@#$%ing you!"

Mary, if you are gonna start Drag Race Thailand anywhere but the beginning, start here. We go in this week and love on the nuanced faces of JaJa in the mini-challenge, gag over every runway look (Every. Single. One) and name B Ella as the Pizza Queen we all need right now (Pizza = always good even when its bad). We also hail the production of the runway which sets Drag Race Thailand apart from RuPaul's Drag Race in a very important way. Get into, Mary!

Even without the Gone With the Wind reference, the curtain challenge is a classic example of resourcefulness and imagination. The Top 8 are turning drapes and panels into looks, looks, looks--but not before a welcomed return to puppet-based mini challenges. Art Arya is a hoot the whole episode ("Christoris!") and Pan Pan gets cuter by the draped blazer.

As soon as we both saw Hannah Gadsby's "Nanette," we knew we needed an entire episode to discuss... Get in touch!

Everybody say love! This week, we head back to the southeast Asian workroom as the remaining nine queens (well, nine once Morrigan comes back from having a terrible time in the bathroom) say "I Do" to themselves in a recreation of the Season 2 "Here Comes the Bride" photoshoot challenge before giving variations on the theme of "the power of love" on the runway. Apparently, that means being pregnant, resulting in this season's version of Kimonogate.

Before we officially close out the season, enjoy some nuanced BONUS content, Mary! Here is the extensive runway rundown we did with the queens from Grizzly Kiki during our Season 10 finale joint recap. Looks looks looks!

Before we say goodbye to a season that has truly been a production, often an ooh-ahh sensation, and occasionally quite brown cow stunning, we celebrate our favorite looks, quotes, moments, queens, and of course nuances of Season 10, and discuss what we'd love to see happen in future seasons. Facts are facts, America--this season may have not always known its words, and its wig may have fallen clear off its head at times, but you've got to give to Season 10: it, nevertheless, still wiggled. (And it also gave us Monique Heart!)

Let's have a kiki, Mary! We've invited the queens from the Grizzly Kiki podcast over to recap the finale of what has been a marathon of a season!

It’s family reunion time at RuPaul’s Drag Race, and let’s just say, sh*t got real. It truly is Asia O’Hara’s Drag Race when she stands up to Ru in The Vixen’s defense, reminding us once again that beyond the glitter and glam, this is supposed to be a community of people. Tears are shed with Dusty and Monique, Vanjie reminds us that she’s so much more than a catchphrase, Kalorie eats popcorn from a sandwich bag, Mayhem creates screen time for herself when none is given and Kameron is crucified in the 11th hour for her coyness. We of course spend a significant portion of this episode dissecting Ru’s interactions with Asia and The Vixen and where things went astray.

Oh beautiful for spacious skies, Mary! The final challenge is upon us fooling nobody with any suspense of the outcome. But we gotta let the kids play, right? Hate all you want on this follow-through episode, but we insist on its importance. We go deep into how these queens are positioned before the live finale, celebrate arguably the most important segment RuPaul’s Drag Race offers to its viewers, and Colin recounts meeting a rather grand “friend” in the lovely Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We're almost done with this season. Who do you *want* to win?

Episode 107.5: NUANCE - "Pose" Premiere + "The Boys in the Band" on Broadway by Colin & Johnny

Episode 107: Drag Race Season 10 - Evil Twins by Colin & Johnny

To quote the legendary Gia Gunn, we're just taking a little trip to Asia and landing like fresh tilapia on Drag Race Thailand! With a week off from Season 10, we're getting a head start on this little biddi-biddi TV show's southeast Asian sister by diving into the first episode. We still don't know who wins, but there are a few queens we're already excited about. (To say nothing of "big mama" Natalia Pliacam!) We also go on a tangent about gay cruises, Drag Race music cues, campy competitiveness and Project Runway Season 10 contestants. Our apologies for the sound this week, we only realized after recording that our mic's really failed us. Nevertheless, we wiggled!

In this week's NUANCE, we discuss this week's episode of Untucked, some thoughts on Hurricane Bianca 2, reacting to The Great British Bake Off, plus we condragulations to our Mary's in Ireland and get a whole rack of love from the UK.

Six camera ready social media mavens make for good TV in this season's makeover challenge. Cracker finally catches a break with Miss Cookie, who joins the legion of breakout makeovers (like Sarge...). We look back on previous season's narrators, spend an inordinate amount of time talking about ugly crying, theorize about the future of Miss Vanjie, thirst for Chester See and ponder a season without our bespectacled narrator as we say a fond farewell to Monet X Change.

In this week's NUANCE, we dive into this week's Untucked, and specifically focus on Kameron Michaels and what her story and significance on the show is, the importance of seeing a successful introvert on television and why the other queens are pushing her to open up.

In Breastworld, all your fantasies can come true--so long as those fantasies involve Bingo and something to do with chicken. Despite a questionable script for this week's acting challenge, Aquaria finds her niche as a relatable robot (which has sort of been Miz Cracker's thing this whole season, right?) while Kameron struggles with human emotions altogether. Monet wears even less hair on the runway, Eureka taint afraid of no splits in the lip sync and Cracker gets crumbs from the judges once again.

In this week's Nuance, we take a deeper dive into who we think Kameron Michaels really is, explore how Eureka's size might influence people's opinions of her and try to decode Aquaria.

Wagon Wheel Watusi, Mary! The queens are channeling their inner Chad Michaels to bring us Cher through the ages in this season's live singing Rusical. But first, we queen OUT on Asia's chat with The Vixen in the workroom. We also discuss Aquaria's long con, who really should have won this week and disagree on the amazingness of that lip sync. Plus: Mario Kart strategies, Billy Eichner fantasies and the nuances of air instruments done right (if that's possible).

In this week's Nuance, we discuss the post-Snatch Game Untucked--specifically The Vixen and the subtext of her anger. Get in touch, Mary! Twitter: @alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Patreon: patreon.com/alrightmary www.alrightmary.com

Well blank me silly, Mary--it's Snatch Game! The top 7 have made it to the heart of the season--and for the Heart of the Season, it's the end of a tough road. (But nevertheless, she wiggled!) We celebrate Monique Heart a little more before turning our attention to this season's panel of celebrity guests. Aquaria's Melania was surprisingly nuanced, while Asia's Beyonce was more Mommie Dearest than Sasha Fierce, with her sights set on The Vixen's not fully realized Blue Ivy. But the real drama is on the runway when Ru stokes the fire by asking who should go home this week... Get in touch, Mary! Twitter: @alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Patreon: patreon.com/alrightmary www.alrightmary.com

In this week's Nuance, we talk about the importance of Blair St. Clair telling her story and our thoughts on trauma healing and the effects of abuse in the queer community. We also spend a few minutes on what's been going on with Tyra Sanchez and give some more love to "Whimsically Volatile."

Proportionize, Mary! And productize! The queens are creating fantasy DragCon panels and learning what it really takes to pay your rent as a Ru girl. Monet and Eureka are something of a dream team, while Miz Cracker reads Blair to filth but forgets to read the room first. Meanwhile, Monique Heart is running away with this entire season and isn't getting nearly enough credit for it. We explore what Kameron's real backstory is, digest that air instrument incident that happened during the lip sync, and send Ms. St. Clair off with a thoroughly modern Last Chance Lip Sync.

This week on NUANCE, we discuss a new appreciation for Miz Cracker, we spend only like a few minutes on the whole Robbie Turner thing, talk about Instagram thirst trapping. and give our thoughts on the recent episodes of Katya's podcast.

Geraldo oh no she betta don't, Mary! Donahue betta work! Dip into the cool waters of Ricki Lake! This week, the queens are guests on The Bossy Rossy Show, a Jerry Springer-like talk show with Ross Mathews behind an authentic pair of red Sally Jesse Raphael glasses and tackling the hard topics: Monet's addiction to eating hip pads, Blair and Monique's love triangle with a cactus, and some strange adult baby fetish play that gave Eureka her first win. Plus: Cracker dressed up like a pickle. We spend some time on Eureka and The Vixen's conflicting damage and their need to be heard, Ross's nuance, that air guitar incident that had happened, and also just queen out on hitting 100 episodes!

We mention Alexis Michelle on this podcast so many times it's become a drinking game! So we couldn't be happier to sit down with the Broadway queen herself to catch up on life after Season 9, behind the scenes T, the nuances of reading, and what to expect from her new album "Lovefool."

It's the end of the world as we know it, Mary's, and the queens are going out in style. We not only get 33 runway looks for this season's ball challenge, but Asia O'Hara as the Mom of the workroom, Monet's history lesson, Ru in a turtleneck, and OH GOD THAT LIP SYNC. And then Untucked got real, and really tricky to talk about. (This is just a hot take, Mary's, in case you missed the multiple disclaimers.) We go in on the nuances of conflict and analyze our own gut reactions to what went down between Eureka and The Vixen.

We go in deep on this week's episode of Untucked (surprise surprise), exploring this concept of The Optics, the roles each queen played in the conflict between The Vixen and Aquaria, and what it means to create a narrative. On a lighter note--we also talk about Dragula and Drag Race Thailand!

Swipe right, Mary's! The queens are given the tall task of marketing three new dating apps that simply aren't a match. Asia O'Hara steals the show (and is starting to run away with the season) while Monique Heart expertly captains a sinking ship, due mostly to Mayhem lost at sea. But the real drama, as usual, is in the workroom, as a borrowed wig sets off one of the most interesting conflicts of the series. (We'll go deep on The Optics in Nuance.) We also discuss gays who believe in God, better app ideas, Birds of Drag Race the Sequel and death by air guitar.

On this week's Nuance, our thoughts on this week's Untucked, queening out on Monet X Change's "Street Beatz" videos, and some high praise for Todrick's new musical "Forbidden."

The queens are pill-popping prescription peddlers in this week's lip sync musical. Kameron, Monet and Aquaria shine despite some strange staging (sorry Alyssa) and confusing costuming, but it was clear from early on that Kalorie and Eureka's thick and juicy tag team would be splitting up shortly. We discuss the many sides of The Vixen, our feelings on Andy Cohen, and of course, the Haunting of Miss Vanjie!

In this week's Nuance, we discuss Dela's open letter to toxic Drag Race fans, and explain how that interview with Trixie happened!

Remember All Stars 3, Mary? Me neither! Season 10 wasted no time gabbing our undivided attention and erasing any woes about where the series is going. The queens this season are not only ready to compete, they are ready to be good on TV. (Monique Heart, where have you been all our lives?) We get a welcomed throwback to Drag on a Dime, focusing more on the artistry of drag--but adding a little lukewarm drama with this emerging Cracquaria feud. (Alyssa vs Coco, this is not.) We come to Dusty's defense, are over the moon for Monet, and it bears repeating, in love with Monique Heart. Kalorie killed in the lip sync, but we're left wanting more of those cookies from Miss Vanjie...(Miss Vanjie...Miss...Vanjie....)

On a snowy spring night in New York, we sat down with the freshly crowned Trixie Mattel to talk All Stars 3, her new album "One Stone"(now available on iTunes *wink*), The Trixie & Katya Show and our hot takes on Season 10. I'm writing this episode description waiting for the "JK," but there was no JK, Kimora. This really happened and it was amazing.

People are already ranking All Stars 3 as one of the worst of the franchise--are they just in their feelings for a few days or did this season really misstep somewhere? We try to figure out what might have gone wrong, and more so, what nerves were hit. (And why it's not that bad, Mary!) Plus, straight men who watch Drag Race, some new Matreon requests, and the conclusion of this season's Morality Tale!

All of Shangela's Game of Thrones references were terribly prophetic this week; much like many of the queens fighting for the throne, things took an unexpected twist for our professional comeback kid, landing her in ostensibly third place of a competition she was killing from the start. We spend quite a bit of time discussing how it all went down and what the response has been, highlights from the music video, and of course, all the nuance of that final lipsync...

Click-clack those ruby slippers, Mary--we're going to Oz! As a special bonus episode for all our Mary's this week, we're looking back at a little known movie called "The Wizard of Oz." And as a couple of veritable Friends of Dorothy, we queened out on the gay archetypes represented in the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, the power of Dorothy Gale and what home really means. Keen to get more bonus episodes like this in your life? We're putting them out every week for our Matreons--just ease on down to patreon.com/alrightmary for all the details!

It was a big week, Mary's! We talk about how things feel since discussing That Interview with Ru, Michelle's great interview with Vulture and some plans for our upcoming Patreon bonus episodes!

For your consideration, Mary! The Top 5 queens are gunning for Oscars and headed for Razzies in one of the most convoluted acting challenges in Drag Race history. Trixie shines as Sharon, Shangela and Bebe play themselves in wigs, and Kennedy plays the role Ben was supposed to send her home and play. Oh yeah, and Morgan stopped by. We spend an inordinate amount of time remembering bird themed runway looks, discuss the etiquette of meeting the queens at the airport, and of course talk about Shangie's fat suit.

RuPaul's recent comments about trans and cis female drag queens in his latest interview in "The Guardian" have been making waves on social media for all the wrong reasons, and we are here to break it down, Alright Mary style. We also take a deeper dive into BenDeLaCreme's self-elimination and other nuances we may have missed in our Hot Take recap of the last episode, answer some Mary emails and send you out with a Last Chance Lipsync you might recognize.

Oh hey kitty girl! It’s a special “hot takes” episode of Alright Mary—we’re queening out as the drama unfolds (well, in breathless (Mahoney) discussion during commercial breaks) when the eliminated queens return to not only get a chance to return to the race, but also to get some things off their chests (spoiler: it's not their breast plates). We discuss Morgan the adult, the downright curdling of Milk, Bebe’s nuance, and of course BendelaChrist, Savior of Drag Queens.

On this week's Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, we discuss the Best Supporting Actresses of Snatch Game through the seasons before diving into our hot takes on the Season 10 queens, based mostly on their Meet the Queens videos and what scattered knowledge we already have of the queens.

Soup's on, Mary's! This week the queens are literally designing soup cans, instead of any other possible pop art inspired design challenge they could have done for All Stars 3. We come to Aja's defense after RuPaul made her the scapegoat for all the Millenials she wants off her lawn, spend an inordinate amount of time describing what a Shop Rite Can Can Sale is, and celebrate the nuanced perfection of Bebe's second Diana Ross of the season. (There goes the Mole Theory...)

This week, we're talking about the recent Slate article regarding racial bias in the Drag Race community. We also explore the ongoing morality theme in the eliminations, the perils of pleasing the judges and the case for a potential top 3 this season. Plus: some upcoming Matreon episodes announced!

It's not a party without punch and it's not a season of Drag Race without Snatch Game! (Looking at you, All Stars 1....) The theme this season is Herstory: queer legends like Paul Lynde and Crystal Labeija, legendary divas like Grace Jones and Jenifer Lewis and royal queens like RuPaul and M(a)ya Angelou. (Also: Phaedra Parks, a queen in the making.) We have a moment of appreciation for Aja's Crystal, break down what went wrong with Trixie, debate the validity of Notegate aka "Get Out of my Station" and nominate Chi Chi as the unofficial Miss Congeniality of the season. (PS: leave the USB.)

We're bringing you a separate Alright Mary Untucked again this week! We discuss what Trixie's really doing back in the race, issues with the Handmaid's Tale allusions and an interesting theme emerging in these eliminations.

Our queens are looking for love in all the wrong reality shows this week with a pitch-perfect satire, "The Bitchelor." Bendelacreme and Kennedy get roses from us, but Milk's crazy stalker and workroom delusions about her performance were, well, a little thorny. We dig into everything that's wrong with "The Bachelor" franchise, our troubles with Trixie, Aja's runway redemption, those Game of Thrones references, and Kennedy's stellar work in that lipsync.

With a jam-packed week of Drag Race adjacent news, we’re trying something new and giving it its own episode! We discuss Courtney Act winning Celebrity Big Brother, Michelle on Ireland’s Got Talent, and the rumors around what Bebe’s really doing on All Stars 3....

The queens are channeling their inner divas for a VH1 branded salute to RuPaul. But is there sabotage afoot? Thorgy’s back on the same conspiracy kick we saw on her season, but she MIGHT be onto something this time. We debate what more she could have done, whether Shangela and Bebe needed to do more, how Ben did so well and why Milk is doing all of that. Also: who really won that lipsync? We disagree considerably this episode, Mary’s!

It's officially All Stars season, Mary's! We already covered the first 15 minutes in Episode 84, so we get right into it with the reveal of the not-such-a-mystery queen! (We clearly just couldn't wait, so this episode is dropping a little early this week!) We get the highlights of a mostly successful reading challenge before settling in for a variety show--because if it ain't broke, why not kick things off the exact same way they did in AS2? Ben pulls a Bianca and sails through EVERYTHING, Aja has the comeback she deserves, Kennedy cartwheels onto a box and Chi Chi makes a choice about those shoes. Plus: the sad tale of the queen who forgot it wasn't Season 2 anymore. And yes, we talk about Vanessa Hudgens being really into voguing right now, before wrapping things up with a glorious Last Chance Lip Sync.

Mary's, the long-awaited meeting of the minds (MOYNDS, as the Squirrel Friends would say) has happened! Over many drinks, we queened on All Stars 3 kweens, their entrance looks, and our predictions for the season. But given the many drinks, we tangent considerably. To be honest, towards the end some of this is a real blur. (But oh my god, SO FUN.)

Ayo sis! The first 15 minutes of All Stars 3 have been released and we are giving you our hot takes on the nine returning queens, the Act One Guns scattered throughout, and our baseless predictions for Top 3!

The final four queens have a busy day of interviews, promoting signature cheeseburgers and even doing a 5 minute standup act at the Comedy Store. Such is the proverbial life of an All Star, in this final challenge before they finally give Chad the crown. We have an 11th hour moment of sympathy for Shannel, discuss Jujubee’s inner saboteurs, reflect on Raven the Runner Up and celebrate the wisdom of Cheri Oteri. Plus, we discuss Katya’s mental health break, Trisha Paytas in boy drag, and finally give Mariah Carey the Lip Sync moment she deserves.

The final four are giving us good vs. evil realness on the runway this week. Apparently if drag queens had super powers, they would involve magical lactating abilities, a strong focus on vaginal cosmetics and, of course, giving people spray tans. ("Can we talk about suntanning?" is suddenly prophetic!) We also discuss Disney gays, queer villains, and the expansion of the RPDR franchise, and wrap things up with a Last Chance Lip Sync that's working through some issues...

Our teamed queens form RuPaul cover bands with the addition of some celebrity daughter guest stars. Shannel is a crisis in choreography, while Raven and Jujubee try to convince Pia Zadora's daughter to wear drag makeup and Kelly Osbourne has the best day of her life.

Well Mary's, in this episode Latrice rummages headfirst in a garbage can looking for props, Chad whips out the mother of all Hunger Games references, and Jujubee wins a lip sync by just kinda walking around. We are knee-deep in All Stars 1 at this point! We also discuss queens on hookup apps, the pressure to be a cultured gay, and what kind of sandwich Janice Dickinson would be, before wrapping things up with a Last Chance Lip Sync that we, well, happen to like.

Instead of another round of Snatch Game this season, the queens are asked to pull out their best celebrity impersonations for a dragged up Laugh In. Yara gives us an inspired Charo, while Latrice proves that being the Oprah of Drag Race doesn't necessarily mean you can do a good Oprah and Shannel's Lucy is, well, a little loosey goosey. We Mary out on Tammie Brown, Latinx queens, father issues and spending the holidays in Trumplandia. (Stay tuned for a very special bop at the end, Mary's!)
