Steven and…

We've been doing this for 50 episodes?! Wild. Unhinged. Unheard of.

Listen now to join in on the fun as we discuss RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, Seaso…

The two-part premiere leads the bois into the world of art and fashion as the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 are tasked with making colorful and unique outfits celebrating famous artists, the best monochromatic looks (with a fun little Chromatica reference) and then given a swath of canvas and told: "go nuts." Who will impress us? Who will…

The bois are back to where it all began with an EXTRA chaotic episode to start of Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars!

We're not doing a music video?! My brain! It's on fire! As is Nymphia's pussy! As the top four girls go from relaxed and celebratory to panicked and hilarious, they're forced to dive deep into the murky waters of RuPaul's kiddy pool for an underwater lipsynch of silliness, and then they have to dig deep into their own personalities and souls and ge…

The girls are given hunky background dancers for a show RuPaul really wants you to go see in Vegas and has to turn them into glamorous drag queens! Do they do it? Of course, you've seen a makeover episode before, and so have the bois, so they spend time faffing about in their own werk room talking about delayed queer adolescence, the terrors of tuc…

What do you mean this episode came late?! It wasn't like Steven was just really busy and left the other bois to figure out how to podcast without him! Then again, they're so cute and charming in this episode it's hard not to enjoy it. Oh dear, is Steven paying them compliments in the copy? Yes, but they never read this so it's okay. This week the g…

Hi, welcome to This Toxic Fandom's TED Talk on how to be a fandom and only be moderately toxic. The bois this week get corporate and discuss the nuances of celebrating a month in a week, the longing for forbidden fried chicken, the trouble with confused editing, and how some people come out emotionally and other people come out with a powerpoint li…

The campaign trail is a bumpy one as the bois have to watch the first less-than-good episode of this season of RuPaul's Drag Race! With a lack of elimination, an episode title that leaves them scratching their head, and a complete lack of a message, will the Bois find something worth talking about, or will they wander around the wastelands looking …

The bois learn to dance dance dance with their hands hands hands above their head head heads! Or something like that. Maybe that song is just stuck in my head. Regardless, in this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the queens are tasked with making high-fashion goth inspired looks. Of course, they do this after getting rid of the only girl who had a go…

While Steven is still in recovery from a musical episode, David and Joe team up with adult content creator and general zaddy, Daddy Kylex! And it's just in time, too, because it's the snatch game!

The pain, the pain of it all! It's another musical episode! Will Steven survive the endless references he doesn't understand?!

Well, freakin' DUH, but hey they have a good time and even talk about an amazing runway with a gay Cloverfield monster! That's ju…

Content Warning: For some reason Joe brings up ALF of all things?! Do you remember ALF? He's back! In reference form! Steven may never recover. We're down to 11 girls and after a fun flamenco number they're forced to be THE DOLLS and create their very own fashion doll! Marketing, storytelling, and fashion all clash in the toy aisle as some girls ge…

Well, it's time to ask the age-old question: Does RuPaul actually know what ASMR is? The girls are broken up into teams for maximum carnage and forced to write lyrics to RuPaul's latest ear-worms such as ASMR Lover, Star Baby, and one other song I can't remember but will inevitably be humming for the rest of the week. One of the contestants continu…

It's not live and we're not in New York but dammit, we have a show to talk about and we're gonna make it work! The bois talk about Cher, the talents of a certain Plane, and much All Stars 8 we have RDR Live, a parody of SNL, which has devolved into a parody of itself. Like do we need to celebrate a show that came out forever ago, possibly lost it's…

The bois bring back their honory boi (I guess goil?) Kayla as they talk about 48 looks and nearly die from all the fashion! Or just die from having to talk about 48 looks!

The season may be over, but that doesn't mean the bois don't have something to say about a Christmas movie that needs some Jesus. As Steven has a mental breakdown over poor writing, Joe tries to summarize it, and David... Actually seems to have a good time, good for them. Available on Paramount+ until it inevitably gets consolidated into a megacorp…

After ten weeks of shocking swerves, zigs, and zags, we've come to Coronation Street (or just a coronation!) and will finally see which one of our top three finalists will take home the crown and scepter and a show in a basement in Los Angeles! Ah, the glamorous life of a Drag Queen. For this celebration the bois have broken out their hottest takes…

Have you ever seen a title that has to bend over so hard to make sense that it probably needs a chiropractor? Not as much as that girl from the last episode needs one, but still. This week the girls are tasked with roasting their former competitors, the judges, and each other as they don their butchest of wrestling singlets and get this roast a coo…

You used to call me on my Toxic Fandom but now you're... Actually, I have no idea what the lyrics to Hotline Bling are and I don't think you'd be interested in a Hotline Miami joke, so instead: It's the makeover episode! Oh no! Oh yay? Who knows! It's a very special makeover episode, tho, as the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Series 5 makeover the …

You know we made this whole episode and didn't mention the seminal work by Lorde once? We're slipping.

Well, it's Snatch Game, and we haven't had five of those this year yet, so let's jump on it! Or run up it, as we're joined by Kate Bush, played by Kate Butch, a dirty old lady that solidifies Ginger Johnson as a frontrunner of this "competition," DeDeLicious's creeping insecurity, jokes that go over our Yank heads, and a runway that's guaranteed to…

LOOK BEHIND YOU! But not in a scary way! The bois are talking about Panto, the drag-tastic child theatre of England, as the girls of Drag Race UK Series 5 (since y'all don't have seasons) have to act and sing their way through a brand new Rusical called "Oh No She Panto Don't!" A name so bad it could have only come from this show! The thrilling sto…

The girls are tasked with creating a comedic take on master classes based on working, partying, and love! But how can they do that if you don't give them suits, RuPaul?! The bois cover this and more while being sleep-deprived and talking about the majestic land of Northern California, where they can't pronounce "lachaim," and also join in on making…

The bois are all about that pop life this week as the girls of Drag Race UK Series 5 are forced to record a new hit club banger that's sure to sweep the musical charts, "Don't Ick My Yum!"

Whether way your toilet flushes, one thing unites all humans: The desire, and the love, of brunch! And no one does brunch better than drag queens who are guaranteed to take advantage of bottomless mimosas! So, of course, that means the black sheep of the Drag Race franchise uses it as an excuse for a talent show that gives the bois a bit of agita. …

Not letting an ocean keep them apart even while vacationing, the bois manage to cobble together an episode like these girls managed to cobble together a girl group challenge!

Steven picked one hell of an episode to get out of town, leaving David and Joe to talk about one of the wildest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under by themselves! Sexy boudoirs!

We've made it to the end and it's Jimbo Vs Kandy! The Clown Vs The Producer! Who will win?! Well, it's kind of obvious considering the favoritism, but still, it's the season finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8 and we need to see our finalists lip-synch, dance, and bare their souls for their last chance to enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame! Or s…

The bois are down a boi as Steven has caught something nasty and for once, he can't blame it on this season of All Stars!

The bois find themselves in quite a pickle with low morale, nonsensible acting plots, throwbacks to 2013, and a low-effort runway. Oh, and the episode was bad too!

This episode contains spoilers for episode six of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8, JOAN: The Unauthorized Ruscial. Gays into musical theatre?! Groundbreaking.
