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.

Episode 405: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 7 - Forensic Queens
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...
Episode 404: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 6 - JOAN: The Unauthorized Rusical!
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...
Episode 403: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 5 - Snatch Game of Love
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?

Episode 402: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 4 - Screen Queens
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...
Episode 401: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 3 - The Supermarket Ball
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...
Episode 400: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 2 - "It's RDR Live!"
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...
Episode 399: Drag Race All Stars 8 Ep 1 - The Fame Games
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...
Episode 398: "Center Stage" (2000)
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.

397.5 - BONUS! Drag Race España S3 Ep 2 (Preview)
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...
Episode 397: The Last of Us - Long, Long Time
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?
