The Shade Of It All: A Rucast Podrace for RuPaul's Drag Race

READERS, EVERYBODY SAY (HOUSE OF) LOVE! To add some flavor to our supersized recap of Supersized Snatch Game, Kyle, Keith and Ben are taste testing 3 of the 6 assorted flavors of the House of Love cocktails and mocktails 24 pack! (This week’s refreshments include the Ginger Mule mocktail, as well as the 7% ABV Pomegranate Lime Vodka and the whopping 12% ABV Tangerine Margarita. 🥳) Did the queens make good choices in the Snatch Game and on the runway? Did the show make a good choice putting Snatch Game this early? Did we make good choices drinking on mostly empty stomachs as we shared our thoughts? Tune in and find out, you dumb bitch in the front row! (music: bensound.com; beverages: houseoflovecocktails.com)

Readers! Ever wonder what it'll be like when we die? Us neither, but Kyle and Ben explore musings on Broadway, M3GAN, an inability to tell Black people apart, reality TV show edits, these truncated episodes and this week's afterlife-based improv challenge. Was heaven missing an angel? Did anyone go to Hell in a hand basket? Does Ru give a look of confusion and disdain to any queen this week? (Yes!) (music: bensound.com)

A two episode premiere warrants a double-length episode of TSOIA! (We won’t fault you for splitting this up into two listens.) Our two hour recap and the new $200,000 grand prize has the return of two return librarians and our thot shit - Jake Leizear is back, along with the four-years-reigning Miss Nerd New York, Megami! We dive into the show’s move to MTV, the largest cast and talent show ever, the old school vs. new school drag argument, 40 inch wigs, a suspicious lack of padding, lowered twink expectations, and some spicy and hot drag queen getting-to-know-you takes. Oh Drag Race, how we missed you! (For all of a week.) 😘 Do you think the right winner was selected, and the right queen went home, at the end of One Night Only (Pts. 1 & 2)? Sound off!

New year, same us readers - deal with it! Kyle and other recurring librarian Keith Avery discuss their thoughts on meme brands, knitters, mismeasured sandwiches, being tricked by the new year and all of our travels this year. Oh, and our thoughts on the remaining nine episodes of All Stars 7 that we didn’t cover when it aired originally! 😅 Which queen are each of us apologists for? Which runways were (and were not) for us? How many minutes does it take for us to start discussing our thoughts on All Stars 7? (Spoiler alert: 26! Use the show’s yellow plunger and jump to the 26 minute mark if you don’t need banter in your 2023.) Dust off your library cards for our imminent Season 15 coverage with this hefty palate cleanser of Episodes 4-12 of All Stars, All Winners! (music: bensound.com)
