Episode 45 - Booked & Blessed (RPDR S16, EP 14)

4/8/2024
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 get really real as they make their own memoirs! Proving that you can recycle from even your own season and make something great, how will the bois handle this shocking and literary twist because reading is WHAT?! Hard! Join us as we dive into RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 and get illiterate on the runway!

Episode 44 - Drag Race Vegas Live! Makeovers (RPDR, S16, EP 13)

4/1/2024
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 tucking, and why Joe finds makeover episodes to be a personal attack. Join them as they dive into fashion faux-pas and dancing divas on this week's This Toxic Fandom!

Episode 43 - Bathroom Hunties (RPDR S16, EP 12)

3/27/2024
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 girls of RuPaul's Drag Race have to decorate bathrooms and see if they can spill more tea. Or share actual traumatic moments. I'm still not over that, are you? Morphine makes us think about the bathroom bills America is dealing with (because Republicans are FREAKING WEIRD and not allowed to enjoy Drag and be obsessed with who uses what bathroom at the same time) and Dawn might have to phone home. Y'know. Like ALF. Yeah I'm never recovering from that one. Tune in and join in the fun 'cause Dad's MIA and the bois are having a bathroom party! Woo!

Episode 42 - Corporate Queens (RPDR S16, EP 11)

3/18/2024
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 like they're Debbie from the Addam's Family or something. The girls this week have to give a presentation on Drag in the office and then walk the runway in a totally gnarly 80s-inspired fashion. Who wore it best, and will we be seeing AI queens on drag race!? Find out in this week's mandatory meeting-- I mean, this week's This Toxic Fandom!

Episode 41 - Werq the World (RPDR S16, EP 10)

3/11/2024
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 for anything else to talk about? I think we both know the answer, dear listener, but the bois bring the energy and try to bring the funk (with a side of mayonnaise) on this week's This Toxic Fandom!

Episode 40 - See You Next Wednesday (RPDR S16, EP 9)

3/4/2024
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 goth phase, but hey, who are we to judge? Well, we're podcasters! It's our job! As they discuss fashion, goth, and the horrific mental image Joe gets of "club kids", they celebrate the gender spectrum and get into the nitty gritty of a goth runway!

Episode 39 - Snatch Game with special guest Daddy Kylex (RPDR S16, EP 8)

2/27/2024
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! Again! Will this be a legendary flop like season 14? An overstuffed mess like S15? Or will it actually be... A good snatch game?! Give it a listen to find out! Because with a snatch stuffed by a daddy, it's hard not to have an extra-long episode! Oh god, I'm so sorry you had to read that, but seriously, it's a great episode and a great guest.

Episode 38 - The Sound of RuSic (RPDR S16, EP7)

2/19/2024
The pain, the pain of it all! It's another musical episode! Will Steven survive the endless references he doesn't understand?! Will Joe and David get into a heated debate over the best uses of Fossey styled choreography? Well, freakin' DUH, but hey they have a good time and even talk about an amazing runway with a gay Cloverfield monster! That's just special! The bois are going deep and getting broad(way) - It's time for the sound of Rusic, y'all!

Episode 37 - Welcome to the DollHouse (RPDR S16, EP 6)

2/12/2024
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 get the prompt, some girls flounder, some girls panic and drink something they shouldn't, and at least three girls wear blue stretch velvet. It's a weird done, y'all! The bois dive into the toy aisle and their childhood loves and talk a big game, but can they survive the valley of the dolls, or will they end up in the bargain basement bin!?

Episode 36 - Girl Groups (RPDR S16 EP 5)

2/5/2024
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 continues to be a bully but a really ineffective one and we have OPINIONS on Dawn and the life she's found on Mars. Will the bois have the wherewithal to be the Spice Girls or are they looking at being B*Witched and only remembered by weirdos who remember Disney Channel Original Movies?

Episode 35 - RDR Live! (RPDR S16 EP 4)

1/29/2024
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 luster, but matters because it's made some pop-culture icons that define generations? Wait, am I talking about SNL or RPDR? Or both! Doesn't matter! We're super excited because CHEEEERRRRR and also we get all emotional about Mirage because she's great xoxo call Joel.

Episode 34 - The Mother of All Balls with special guest Kayla Kleinman

1/22/2024
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! Either way - Holy crap that's a lot of clothes to look at! The runways include Mother Goose, a famous mom (or really just anyone you can justify) and then making clothes for your mother out of clothes for your father! Clothes out of clothes, why hasn't anyone done this before? And don't say Canada, we both know we couldn't fit that in the schedule! It's not our fault! Anyway, immunity is discussed and Steven actually gets excited about Untucked in a moment of pure madness! Come join the fun and remember that a tie goes with any outfit!

Oh, wait, no, it's the second part of the season 16 premiere! We meet seven new queens that make them go bananas, stop by the DMV with two special guest stars, and wonder: Why would you give the premiere guest star a bunch of air horns?

1/9/2024
Adult film star and generally amazing person joins the bois as they dive into the first real season of RuPaul's Drag Race they've watched since the podcast began! Hooray! No more asterisks and only one uncomfortable photoshoot! In the premiere episode, seven new queens join the title of Ru Girl as they put on a talent show that's inexplicably hosted by Derrick Berry (who's less of a get as Joel Someone IMHO) and themed after an MTV thing they used to do in the summer. Sure! As the bois gush over Dawn, fall for Sapphira, and wonder who's at the door - oh, wait, it's Love Connie, guess the neighborhood is going to hell. Join us as we get this new season rolling!
