With one of the longest names in Drag Race history, we finally wrap up the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars with our remaining girls - and our bring-back Kerri Colby - tasked with lip syncing to the death (or at least the crown) in a seeded bracket! They found a theme and by god, they're gonna stick with it. Join Joe, Steve, and David as they go over the final episode of this momentous All Stars Season. And remember: We did it, Joe!

In the penultimate episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, the remaining eight girls are tasked with performing their padded asses off in a variety show to show off talents, bitch tracks, saucy outfits, and possibly even their actual talent! Before that, Mistress Isabelle Brooks brings the capital-D (mm, love a capital d) DRAMA with a petulent attitude that has some of the bois wondering if this is the appeal but, hey, whatever, Bosco is there and Bosco is so pretty. Join the conversation today and listen up, because it's the last week before the grand finale!!!

The girls are back for the semi-final round of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Tournament of All Stars!

Find out this and more in the newest episode of This Toxic Fandom!

The bitch is back as the girls of the Purple bracket pair off (again?) to try to woo the heart of... Some guy none of the bois know but all find GORGEOUS. All this with Daya deciding that Alyssa is the worst person alive for not giving her a point, Cynthia wearing the worst thing ever worn on the Drag Race runway and yes I will stand by that statement fight me Christine, Ginger Minj continuing to destroy the competition because she's better than you and she knows it, AND did we mention the really pretty man whimpers a...

This week on the pod we have extra special guest Kat Robichaud of Misfit Cabaret and The Voice Season 5. With her, Joe and David discuss the 8th episode of season 10 Stagecooch AKA the girl group challenge. Apparently Drag Race was just pandering to David as the mini challenge is based on Clueless, Orville Peck shows up, and the runway is Night of 1000 Mileys. How many Clueless references are made? Do we agree with the winner of the week? And how many references do David and Kat make that go over Joe's head? All this and more! 

I was all prepared to go to Boston to get called a slur by Plane Jane but then it turned out to be an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 that was sponsored by the upcoming musical "Wicked: For Good!" This week we begin the Purple Bracket featuring some all time classic queens like Ginger Minj and Acid Betty as they prepare to enter the gauntlet that is the Tournament of Champions! Who will come out on top, who will explain to Steven how Denali's talking head shirt works, and who will be joining our six other...

On a very special episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois go deep under cover as sex workers in 1990s New York City to help out the international superspy Starbooty! Okay, that's not true, but wouldn't it be wild if we did the whole episode like that? Anyway, the girls of the Pink bracket of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 are given a Rusical so Jorgeous can show off how good of a dancer they are, where they play with PUSS, DIC, and TITS! Or something like that. It's kind of a mess. It's a messy bracket with messy...

It's a new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, and it starts with an unintentional Mean Girls homage when the meanest girl in a one-inch heel decides to play dirty with her new lackey, causing every gay millennial to think "And none for Gretchen Wieners." Chapelle Roan shows up and blows us all away (or is it just a blow up doll?) and we have the six girls of the Pink bracket roast each other in a rap! Who will come out on top? Join us for a brand new This Toxic Fandom to find out!

We begin the Pink Bracket with six new all-star queens, including a girl who hasn't been on the show since Season 2 and a girl who was on a season that finished airing A MONTH AGO! Wild discrepancies in ages and seasons abound as the six girls of the Pink Bracket of RuPaul's All Stars Season 10 are tasked with making a complete garment out of eight randomly assigned items that would flummox a lesser queen! That's right, after seventeen normal seasons and ten regular seasons, we're finally doing Drag Race Chopped! Join the bois as they talk about the return...

The orange bracket queens of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 are asked to take some GORGEOUS basketball-playing divas and turn them into drag family in the final challenge of the orange bracket! David has fled to Canada, so Steven and Joe have decided to debate over who was the second-worst girl of the week because this episode is a pulse-pounding thrill-a-minute escapade through some great looks, some truly horrific looks, suspicious padding, and the ever burning question: Is Bosco hot enough to make one of the bois straight? Who knows! Find out in this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM...

All Stars 10 continues with the second episode of the not-a-two-part-premiere-but-they-made-us-do-double-duty-anyway premiere, this time with an improv challenge for Team Orange as they have to deduce who the murderer on the dance floor is! Turns out, it's Michelle, but who cares, this is a glass eye, and I lost this eye to glaucoma! We're blind! But more importantly, find out what you call an all gay Conclave, who is a Calculus Rising, and if David ever bought the merch he promised he'd buy from Bosco, all in this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM as they cover All Stars 10, Episode 2, Murder on...

LET'S GET ALL STARTED! The bois are colorful, creative, and coocoo as they kick off a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars! As the Orange Team enters the work room, they discuss the growth of these queens, who they're rooting for, and most importantly, who will make it to the second round of the Tournament of Champions! Will a new format change bring out the best of a format that's been more miss than hit lately? Will this be what saves the world after Season 9 failed to do much? Will Joe ever get all that purple out...

Well, we've been dropped into a dunk tank, had our jokes stolen, held our lighters up in a jazz bar, saw a human tumbleweed, and learned never to trust thithers. We'd say we were big fans if we were all dressed as oscillating fans, but honestly, we've had a fun time with YOU, dear listener, as we've watched Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Now it's time to crown the winner and see who will take it!... You know who took it, right? Like, it was kinda obvious? Anyway, join the bois for one last splash in the Season 17 pond...

The ten eliminated queens of Season 17 are back back back back again to battle it out for the title of She Done Already Done Had Herses, and while we're lacking a Megami to pray to or a shot of Morphine, these girls show their Butthole and prove whose King and give us a pretty good Toot while they're at it as they trick, dip, and flip their way to $50,000 in one of the most entertaining episodes of the season. Join Joe and David as they talk about their lip sync dreams, New York, backpacks, and why it takes a...

It's time to toot (or really boot) the Vegas strip as the girls "audition" for RuPaul's Drag Race Live! The bois discuss what makes a good season, their highlights of S17, what they expect from the Lalaparuza, and the most important question: Is Latrice good at interviewing, or is she just charismatic? Find out this burning question and more on this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

Not a dry eye in the house as the top 5 queens of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are asked to put their parents in drag! The bois of This Toxic Fandom talk about their own parents, the complicated relationships you can have with your adult child, how hard it is to be a queer child even with supportive parents, and some actually fun topics too such as fashion, how to be a proper clown, and LEGO! Join the conversation today and maybe call your mom while you're at it!

This week the queens have to showcase their minds, bodies, and souls as they write monologues and create interpretive dances for the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent Monologues. We have two hosts this week (David and Joe) who take a stab at writing each other's bios (a take on the mini challenge), talk about seeing Lexi Love at a viewing party (watching her watch the show was its own show), and find out why David and Pope haven't been in the same recording room for the past 3 weeks (feud of the decade). All this and more!

All these ducks but not one Mighty Ducks or Daffy Duck or Donald Duck reference to be seen? Despicable! While David's off doing dope shit Joe and Steven are left to discuss Ross Matthews Vs the Ducks, a parody sketch where the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 perform a parody of the limited series Capote vs The Swans. That's right, we have a character named Butthole, and we're going to teach you about Truman Capote. Who said reality TV was trash?! Parodies upon parodies are done as Steven and Joe discuss John Cena's heel turn, the ravages of...

Don't hate on us cause the episode is late, but we may let you roast us! This week we're covering the Haters Roast, where the queens have to roast 3 villains from Drag Race past (Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Plane Jane, and Kandy Muse). We also discuss if Jewels' order was fair, if Lexi's inner saboteur is getting the best of her, as well as Suzie Toot-y's fruity booty! 

This episode was edited by the amazing Nicholas Crawford 

Designer to the stars and dollmaker to the fabulous Astor Yang joins This Toxic Fandom as the bois discuss the pink, the powerful, and the split-tacular Betsey Johnson in one of the most fun and well thought-out design challenges in the show's history! The girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 are given three of Betsey Johnson's most iconic collections and told to reinvent them in their own image, and there are some high highs, low lows, and a showmance for the ages. Kiss me deadly, it's This Toxic Fandom, and it's time to join the conversation by downloading now!<...

In this latest recap of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, Steven has been kidnapped by Joe and forced to talk about A Chorus Line! I mean The Wiz. I mean The Wizard of Oz. I mean, Wicked? Eh, screw it, we'll just throw all of them in a blender and make a Rusical out of it! The remaining ten girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 show off their musical talents as they take on iconic Wizard of Oz characters such as Dorothy, The Scarecrow, Glenda the Good Witch, and... Cher, I suppose! Who will be getting a Tony and who...

Well it's the snatch game. Again. Will it ever be fun again? Survey says... Maybe! But at least we have fun talking about it and talking about it along with a hair-raising and nail-biting exciting runway! Also, wait, oh lord, it's our 100th episode! Come celebrate with us and download now!!!

Oh dear, did a wet ball drop? Sorry, that joke was disgusting, but you know what's not disgusting? 36 sickening looks based on the 70% of the earth we can't live in! The girls of season 17 are tasked with making outfits out of sea trash, while also showing off a bathing beauty look AND a look inspired by marine life! And not a mermaid to be seen. Tragic, really. Meanwhile the boys talk about how they stan Hormona Lisa, why being pretty can be a bad thing, and who's afraid of the big bad Ru. Join the discussion and download now!<...

Because we never learn from our mistakes, we're doing RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE LIVE! But not really, because that would be gonzo. Yes it's the return of everyone's one-take-sketch-comedy show and we have notes upon notes to share before we get tickled pink on the runway! As the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 argue and fight over what's "good drag," we can't help but wonder - Has anyone ever taken a sketch comedy class on the production team? Find out in this week's episode of THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

It's a new day, and after the first elimination, the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are in their feelings, but so are the bois as they talk about Drag Race Alumni's OnlyFans, the rise and fall of J-O-E and don't forget the ELLA, and how we've already seen several girls pull ahead despite only having two real competitive episodes! Seriously, for an episode the bois aren't too fond of, they find a lot of ways to talk about it. Join in the conversation now!

This episode we bid farewell to season 5 of Canada! We get tea from a listener, Pope's hot take from the bathroom (He was sick and couldn't make it), crown a winner, hear who Joe wanted to get the crown, and celebrate David's Birthday. Oh, David also annoys Joe with how much he wants to just talk about his love Orville Peck

Fun fact, Steven misread this title as "menopause" and was very confused. Anyway! It's a new day in the Werk Room as the girls are given money honey and then asked to make outfits based on everyone's least favorite board game that we all have a copy of anyway, Monopoly! Will Steven keep the boardgamery in his pants? Will the girls serve the looks or end up not passing go and going straight to Jail? Find out in this week's episode of This Toxic Fandom as we dive into RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, episode 3!

The top 5 girls are brought together to... Be interviewed by Brad Goreski? It's a weird one, folks, but it's Canada's Drag Race and we're almost at the finish line! We talk about Wicked, Munchkins, Canadians, Anita Bryant finally doing something good with her life by dying, and how if you squint really hard in some parts of the podcast you might see Steven hanging around. Will these jokes make sense? Only if you join us as we continue to talk about Canada's Drag Race on This Toxic Fandom!

We're back to find out who wins, who lipsync's against Acacia, and who goes home. We also answer questions like what does rollerskating lead to? Is standup a good talent? and what is a Badonk-a-dunk twist? All this and more! Sadly due to the ongoing fires in LA, Pope was not able to join us this episode. He will be back for Canada on Thursday!  

Oh, I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You download your favorite podcast about the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race because you think you're too good for the international seasons, but what you don't know is that that episode is not just well produced, it's not just funny, it's taken from one of the greatest challenges ever produced on Drag Race Canada where the remaining contestants are asked to make custom outfits for the host of the program to model. You're so unaware of the fact that while America is doing Rate A Queen...

IT'S THE SEASON PREMIERE! I REPEAT: IT'S THE SEASON PREMIERE! Join Steven, Joe, and David as they explore the season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, The Squirrel Games! Fourteen new girls join the fray and enter the gauntlet as the hit reality TV show returns with the return of the controversial Rate A Queen and a jaw-dropping talent show filled with twists, splits, and lemonade! Join the conversation now and listen to This Toxic Fandom!

The Snatch Game this week was so bad that it made Joe catch the flu bug! But seriously, people, wash your hands and get your flu shots, you morons. Anyway! David and Steven are left to summarize the Snatch Game and then be teleported to Mars by the intergalactic popstar runway! With Joe not there to moderate, let's ramble and talk about David Letterman, sad backstories, and the rare WOODEN BEAVER! All this and more in this week's This Toxic Fandom, so give it a listen and let's get impersonational!

Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her drag race podcast! It's just, like, so... Big. This week on This Toxic Fandom, we gave up on the new millennium and went back to the halcyon days of slap bracelets, beanie babies, roller blades, and making way too many hand gestures. That's right kids, we're totally bugging and going back to the 90s! The girls of Canada's Drag Race make their very own girl groups and then have to combine the fashions of grunge and glamour on the runway. Who will be a fly girl, who will fly away like Lenny...

We want to see some H&M on this runway for the first time! For this season's first design challenge, the girls will have to make fashions that look off the rack, which Steven thinks is a great idea because he's WHAT? Insane. The girls are also tasked with presenting a slow-motion outfit to varying degrees of success and somehow, Squirrel Girl from Marvel Rivals is brought up. Check out the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom and listen as we dive head-first into Canada's Drag Race!

Steven is back back back back again with Joe and David after his hiatus and the bois are reunited and better than ever! The three of them dive into the world of Drag Race Canada, where they get into the Tim Horton Hears a Who of it all as the top ten girls of Canada's Drag Race Season 5 compete in a smackdown lip synch for glory, honor, fame, and the chance to distribute their golden beaver however they see fit. Alanis Morisette before her big break, Joe not knowing when songs were popular to their own detriment, and David...

Well chickens, we've made it to the end of another season! This week we talk about who was crowned, the final challenge, some tic-tac lunches, and whether or not we agree with the crowned queen (spoiler alert: it's nuanced). Graba cuppa tea and enjoy this finale before we officially head true north and strong to Drag Race Canada.

This week the queens are getting in a tiny car cause they're heading to a Roast dressed as clowns. Which queens will give you the tears of a clown and which will have you questioning your sexual attractions to Bozo? Plus being the semi finals, we now know our top 4! Want to know who Joe and David are supporting? Listen to find out! 

This week on Drag Race UK it's the makeover challenge! The contestants need to make over members of their family and work with what they almost all already have... Family resemblance. We laugh, we cry (no really, we talk about how we cried, it's an emotional one), we both wish Chara Tea's mum was ours. So grab your fave (or the one you'd most likely makeover) loved one and enjoy this week's episode. It's sure to be a Pope-ular one! (you'll understand when you get to the end of the episode). 

Oh what a beautiful mornin! It's time for a Rusical! This week the queens get to star in a brand new Rusical as some of the UKs most influential pop stars on a Top of the Pops parody! Joe and David talk about whether they have faith in Kyran getting another win and if Actavia can spice up her life or not. Regardless, much like the character Marmalade plays, the bitches are back! 

We are halfway through the season and finally at the snatch game! This week, the Queen’s have to start the episode by reading the house down boots yassss God… A.k.a. the reading challenge, followed by the snatch game! Is RuPaul being shady by having them do both of these in one Episode let us know in a five star rating in review on Apple podcasts. David and Joe truly have the best time discussing one of the best snach games in a minute. 

It's a Halloween treat as we finally finish Global All Stars! Yaaay! No one is satisfied and everyone wants to go home! We talk fashion, we talk lewks, we talk Wicked (because we have a problem), we talk about THE BORE WORMS and make references that Joe doesn't get, and we finally put this season to bed. Here's hoping that if we get GAS again, it'll be with some Tums or something. Join the conversation now with This Toxic Fandom as they say goodbye to RuPaul's Global All Stars!

David is in London! Joe is in LA! and Pope... will be on the finale of GAS. This week the Queens have to pull out their best anecdotal stories because they're guests on the Graham Norton show! Well, the version that fits on the MainStage. Joe and David tell their own stories, talk about who they'd like to interview, as well as which queens bared their soul, and which queens were barely there. As Bowie says in the lip-sync song, Let's Dance! 

While Joe's away, the gays will play as David and Steven discuss a lip-synch smackdown for a consolation prize! All the queens return (again?!) to perform for a $50,000 prize, and each girl has their own reason for fighting it out besides just kinda deserving a consolation prize for being on this season. Meanwhile, David and Steven discuss theatre etiquette (and their lack thereof), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and how much stuff can fit into a butt. It's a weird one, folks, so tune in and join the fun as we get every closer to ending Global All Stars!<...

This week the queens get into two spooky girl groups and have to write their own verses and choreograph to the song "Dead or Alive". In a twist at the end, the girls are actually judged individually instead of as teams shaking up the competition. Which group embodies Scary Spice rather than Spoopy Spice? Was one team All Saints while the other was All Sinners? Joe and David are all Gouls Aloud with their opinions, listen and find out.

HOW HAVE WE HAD TEN WEEKS OF THIS!? The girls are asked to make commercials advertising their home country (or, y'know, where RuPaul THINKS their country of origin is) and then we have weird commercials for Star Trek and Canva! What a world! Meanwhile Steven is back from his break and we're gonna see how many times we can say the not-nice-word-for-gay because apparently it's a food! Hey, United Kingdom, quick question: What the fuck? Join us for a bit of spotted dick and a trip to the clinic in Australia in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom!<...

We're just a podcast sitting in your up next queue asking you to listen to us. It's an acting challenge this week, and the queens are asked to dig deep into their diaries to see if acting actually is in their wheelhouse. They spoof some of the best British (and a few American) Romcoms and on the runway see if they can spin the judges right round with their New Romantics look. Yes, "romance" is in the air, but one of these queens is going to sashay away and find a brand new lover.

Steven continues to be MIA and now he’s missing the first good episode in a minute! Well that’s fine as David and Joe dive into the obligatory makeover challenge, this time with the remaining girls giving the eliminated queens new looks and new names for some reason! Nehelina finally gets her roses, but will that be enough to stop the reign of the Ru Girls? Find out in this all new This Toxic Fandom!

This week the queens have to work in teams to create a cohesive collection to present on the runway. Their materials? Things mama Ru has Marie Condoed from different rooms in her house! Did you know Rupaul has a disco room!? You do if you watched her AD video... Garments are made, queens are thrown under buses, and the Drag Race franchise proves once again that if it were an Olympian, it'd probably be Tonya Harding.

Much like Sabrina Carpenter, and how one of these podcasters takes their espresso, this episode is Short n Sweet. Do you have a lot to say about Global All Stars? That's what we thought. Find out who we thought was giving us a real buzz this episode, how we take our coffee, and why we're crying over spilled greek yogurt (they can't all be coffee jokes.) 

Cheerio and welcome back to Drag Race UK!! In this season premiere we discuss the new queens, their talents, and figure out which queen truly shows us if life really is a Cabaret. Bliebe, reste, stay and listen to us talk about this brand new season! (Please note due to technical difficulties, this episode came out strangely in the audio quality department.)

In the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, Steven cashes in his doctor's note to be excused from this season and leaves David and Joe to talk about RuPaul's Global All Stars Snatch Game of Love. The roughest challenge on a season that's aggressively rough? What could go wrong? What about cultural insensitivity and King Kong in the year of our lord 2024! Oh bother. Then the girls serve us dinner as the runway theme is - brace yourselves - food from your country! Makes me want a hot dog real bad. Join us as we explore the tops, flops...

And to think, this is the first time Steven is sober in three episodes! David makes their triumphant return as they come in to celebrate everyone's second favorite kind of cock, cocktails! Okay, that joke might've been too blue, sorry. But the bois talk about cocktail dresses, the mysteries around the suitcases the queens brought, and more! Tune in now and let us know: What's something pretty like you doing in a season like this?

Woe be upon us as we continue to crawl our ways out of the hot, sunny, blistering heat of Los Angeles and try to bring you entertainment from a boulder of unpleasantness known as RuPaul's GAS! I'm sorry, I meant Global All Stars. This week the girls are given hilarious (questionable) scripts that are parodies of classic films and also sequels to Barbie, but everyone gets Jimbo's breast plate because we learned nothing from Veronica Scone I suppose! Meanwhile, Joe and Steven try to keep the boat afloat and by Joe and Steven I mean Joe because Steven is...

The inmates are running the asylum as David takes a break (because he HAD A FREAKIN' WEDDING AND IS TIRED DAMMIT) so Steven and Joe are left to their own devices, but sadly after a computer malfunction they had to get together after some drinking and re-record this episode! Oh no, it's very silly!!! While the bois slur their way through the latest episode of RuPaul's Global All Stars, the girls are put into groups and told to make a girl group by writing original lyrics to the song Everybody Say Love. Are any of them good? Will Alyssa...

The top four of Canada Vs The World get their portraits done, recap this palette cleanser of a season, and dive into a Lip Sync for the Crown where it could be anyone's game! But it belongs to Lemon, let's not be silly, here. The bois meanwhile dive into how much fun this season was and how great it is when you have a cast with great chemistry and a narrative that makes any of our top four a viable heir to Rajah Davenport O'Hara's crown! Will the crown go back to Canada, or will it remain somewhere else...

For some reason that can only be chalked up to poor planning and/or intentional villainy, they decide to do a ball in episode two with THIRTY SOMETHING LOOKS. Glad to know poorly planning international trips isn't just a me problem! The girls are given a James Bond-inspired challenge where they have to make super spies and their octopussy is on fire! Well, some of them. Some of them just wrap themselves in fabric and put on a good wig and call it a day. The bois talk about runways, international travel, and how much they stan Canada. Hey...

Leave it to the Canadians to look at two of the hardest challenges that queens do every season and go "Hey, what if we combined the two?" While we experience some technical difficulties, the bois go into what makes a good and a bad choice, what is so damn funny about saying Cheryl like she bit your finger in an aughts viral video, and why Joe is wrong about How Far I Go not being a good lipsynch song YES JOE I CONTINUE TO CALL YOU OUT HERE IN THE COPY! Want context for this nonsense? Give it a...

What a title, huh folks? While we try to figure out how to make our new profile picture look good (turns out two unathletic Jews and a gym bunny lead to some interesting olympic-themed photographs) let's meet our very first GLOBAL ALL STARS! From all around the world, from the Philipines to Belgium to America, drag queens have congregated under the banner of Drag Race for a chance at glory and now some of the best of the best (and honestly it's a pretty damn stacked cast) have come together to battle it out for the first inductee into...

Let's get this roast a-cookin'! The producers up in Canada prove that they're smarter than the average bear (they have bears in Canada, right?) by combining the reading mini-challenge with the roast challenge! As the girls pair off to read each other the house-down-boots-tongue-pop-yes-gawd, the bois gush about this amuse bouche of a season as it cleanses the pallette and reminds us that the only thing we're fucking is funny. Does that joke work? Are you still reading this? If you are, you have to give us a five star review and listen to the latest episode of This...

It's a new day on the pod and we're having a ball! ...Literally. This week the queens have to take on the future in what we're lovingly calling the AI Ball. I was going use AI to write this summery but as a writer I couldn't bring myself to. Can all of these bottom ball girls find a top? Is Feircealicious a petulant child? Who gets a Rudemption? And is there such thing as a good Avril Lavigne lip sync song (David thinks they all are, don't come for him)? All this and more! Take a listen and enjoy!  Duration: 01:11:10

We're back this week to discuss Canada Vs The World Season Two Episode! Find out if anyone is or found the Hole, while we still ponder why Cheryl lost hers. Also, which reality TV archetype are you? We're itching to know. 

Well, we did it, Joe! We finished the season of... Well, not a whole lot. We've probably seen worse, but not by much. How will it end? With a bang or a whimper? Will the judging make sense? Will Steven try desperately to remain positive despite having brain problems? Will David talk about The Fabulous Four, now in theaters, go see it? Will Joe give some of their hottest takes? Yes! To all of these! But more! Check it out now and join the conversation as we finally bid adieu to All Stars 9!

It's a smack-down, drag-out fight for the finish as the second round of girls enters Canada Vs. The Wor-- Well, it's really more of Canada Vs. The Commonwealth if you only have one girl from a season that isn't from an English-speaking country, innit? After slogging through All Stars 9 the bois are back and ready to watch girls from France, the UK, America, and Canada battle it out for a crown and $100,000 in a season that Joe probably called "Lemon-tastic" in private and would never admit it. Sadly, due to technical issues, Steven had already passed out by the...

UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BREAK THE FINALE INTO TWO PARTS DO THEY NOT THINK PEOPLE HAVE LIVES?! The bois are on the struggle bus and it's careening towards a cliff as the girls of All Stars 9 do the world's longest makeover mini-challenge of all time and then faff about forever. Tic Tacs are eaten, sleep is not had, and the twists on twists on twists don't really feel all that twisty in the grand scheme of things, so the Bois get medical and start dissecting what worked and what didn't about this really, really...

The bois are here, they're queer, and they're gonna watch some drag queens lip sync for a badge! As the season begins to wind down we watch as the girls of All Stars 9 dip, trip, dive, duck, and dodge through a lip sync smorgasbord of (kinda alleged) fan favorite numbers! It's hard to be invested but by golly they give it their all. Or something like that. Download the latest episode now so you can join in on the toxic fandom discourse!

With Steven away, it's up to Joe (who has never seen a movie) and David (who doesn't like scary movies unless there are lesbian undertones) to watch a Rusical about scary movies! Prepare to scream, queens! Meanwhile, the queens of AS9 get spooky in all-monster, all-Santanic, all excellent musical that is actually legitimately good? Like, what?! Why did Steven miss this one?! Because he had to go run around the woods with a stick? The nerd! You don't want to be a nerd, do you?! Download the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom as we talk about All Stars 9...

In this fashion-forward episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois get really into the history of Moschino (and David's personal history with Jeremy Scott), talk about some great runways, and try to keep morale up as we dig into the darkest part of the RuPaul's Drag Race lore: RuPaul's music career. Nah, we're mostly joking - The girls make outfits based on those songs you hear when they walk the runway, and they're really great! Well, most of them are. Check it out as we dive into another episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9!

The bois huddle together in the nonbinary bathroom (aka all of them you weirdos) and talk about the latest acting challenge from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars while also ignoring the horrible fact that this is the second bathroom episode in as many seasons. Once is an accident, twice is a hobby, y'know? Anyway they talk about Showgirls, acting, putting the wrong EMPHASIS on WORDS for humor, and the fact that Steven needs to learn to buy more shoes like he's a dictatorship in the 80s or something. It's a weird one, folks. Give it a download now and...

It's your patriotic duty to download this episode as the bois get into the National Drag Convention Roast, a roast themed around the idea of "hey what if we did a roast but randomly put up some stuff so we can say it's about getting people to vote." What a concept! Jorgeous tries being butch, Sailor Moon takes up smoking, and we discuss what's so funny about truth, Drag, and the American way! Podcasts don't have gerrymandering, so get into it and listen NOW!

You'd think with a name like that they'd get the Property Brothers as guest stars. One of them is gay, right? Anyway, this week, the queens have to sell houses in mythical, made-up places such as Florida (RIP Uncle Raydell) and Texas. Then they have to take the runway in a day-to-night Ruveal that reminded this ol' bitch about the Barbie Doll who could do that. Meanwhile, the bois are fffffffffffreakin' exhausted after David's bachelor party and try their damnedest. Give them a break; they're SLEEPY! Anyway, love you mean it. XOXO Judy Newmeyer.

So we're all running on three hours of sleep because David's bachelor party but we love you enough to get an episode out to you. You're WELCOME. In this week we get a bunch of drool-worthy firefighters getting in drag as the girls work in teams. Who serves kitty and who serves burn victim? Listen to the episode to find out! I don't know! Steven and Joe spend most of it twirling their hair (well, Joe twirls their hair, Steven just kinda twirls air) and being giddy about firefighters while David tries to run the show. Now enjoy, dammit!<...

We've been doing this for 50 episodes?! Wild. Unhinged. Unheard of. Today we're talking about the Snatch Game, the go-to favorite challenge for celebrity impersonations, and we're looking at some amazing (and less amazing) tailsticles and chesticles inspired runways! Listen now to join in on the fun as we discuss RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, Season 9, Episode 3!
