Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...
