Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

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.

Underneath the wigs and lashes and everything else that makes Alyssa Edwards pop (tongue pop, to be specific), there's Justin Johnson, the acclaimed dance instructor and lifelong resident of Mesquite, Texas. This week, we're queening out on Dancing Queen, the first season of the Netflix series featuring the infamous Beyond Belief Dance Studio as well as a deeper look into Justin's relationships with his birth family and his drag family--and a drag number every episode and color commentary from Alyssa serving Higher Self realness.

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? Well, we spoiled it like five episodes ago. But she more than earns it this episode!

The final four pack their bags for a weekend away at Wasteland--think Burning Man, except you might actually see someone lit on fire. 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.

Season 2's six remaining supermonsters trek out to the woods to give scream queen realness in Episode 5's slasher challenge, with Peaches Christ and Miss Coco Peru serving us Siskel & Ebert (if they were somebody's sensible aunts). Biqtch Puddin' not only kills the challenge but the extermination as well with her gifable reactions. Then it's a funereal wedding floor show in Episode 6 that ends in an unfortunate divorce with one of the season's standouts. We spend a significant amount of this episode queening out on Disasterina.

HEY FRED! Johnny and Colin discuss the next two episodes of Dragula season 2 and find a new episode to beat in Sci Fi Babies. We go toe to toe on Erika Klash's need for camera time vs. her adult in the room qualities, find a new type of queen in our love for Disasterina, and discuss some of the tea we got from our Marys who are in the know. The Boulet Brothers are flawless of course in their cold opens and in this episode, we point out more of their kindness and knowledge. By the way (in a high pitched voice),"What about 80s Glam Rock was expensive?"

Alright Scary! This week we're diving into the ooky-spooky world of Dragula with a double header of Episodes 1 and 2. Our Season 2 supermonsters are bringing backstory to the boudoir from day one--Abhora abhors Biqtch Puddin', James performs Her Majesty, Monikkie is shameless and Kendra gives us military grade ghoul. Victoria and Abhora shine in both floor shows, Felony makes a fatal flaw, Disasterina serves monstrous mother in her babies dress and the Boulet Brothers host the hell out of the whole thing.

This week, as we come down from the high of Drag Race Thailand and before we gear up for Season 2 of Dragula, we're catching up on things like: plans for DragCon, delayed thoughts on Pearlgate, Colin's latest feature on In the Details and Johnny's trip to Barcelona, plus some movie recommendations, a moment of appreciation for our sister podcast and a little Mary'ing out on sobriety.
