Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

It’s pilot season this week as three teams of three produce trailers of their own TV shows. Best Friends 4 Never might get picked up, mostly in order to give Jimbo her own show, but Getoff Island gives off mid-season cancellation vibes. (And don’t even get us started on the grammatical decisions made by the title Run Queen, Run.) We have a lot to say about unrelated things like The Warner Brothers Store and the sister in “Dirty Dancing,” but we also queen out on Alexis’s bare-assed runway confession, Jimbo’s Creed, the divine presence of Aunt Shannel and the inherent shame of the Fame Game.

Our grand union of queens are off to market to stop and shop for a look for this week’s supermarket ball! LaLa, Alexis and Heidi shop rite, Kandy takes the safeway and Jimbo is covered in whole foods, but our Rochester queens just aren’t serving Danny’s favorite. (Okay, that’s a Wegmans joke.) Jessica’s trip to foodtown puts her in the express line to the top this week, which is frankly a giant surprise. But no bigger than those La Veneno boobs she sports during the lip sync that end up being worth $15,000 each. Price check! Want even more Alright Mary?

Hot on the heals of the premiere episode comes Drag Race's take on Saturday Night Live which, despite some jokes clearly written by ChatGPT, kind of nails the SNL energy. (Even if "RDR Live" really does't roll off the tongue.) Darienne and Alexis bring us home to Jersey and Jimbo and Jessica flourish as the manscaping McCall Girls, but Kahanna's Kitty doesn't have us Jonesing for more and Naysha gets stuck on Uranus in that cold open. The Net Gala runway features zero references to "The Net," Thai royalty arrives to bop her way through the season's second lip sync assassination and our sister Naysha heads back to Roscoe's.

Eight is enough, except when it comes to All Stars! 12 familiar faces (well, except Kahanna, who looks completely different) are back in the workroom and on our screens this week for a brand new season. In lieu of the usual talent show premiere, we get a girl group challenge, a few dozen looks (including an iconic Eilish), some emotional ups and downs for Miss Hillz, a lip sync worth sliding into someone's DMs over to ask if they have a background in ballroom, and our prolonged introduction to this Fame Game.Want even more Alright Mary?

With one more week of off-season before All Stars 8, we're putting out an OnlyMarys discussion from last year on "Center Stage"! We queen out on the sheer presence of Debra Monk, Donna Murphy rubbing her neck, dancing the shit out of it in gray sweatpants, best supporting Eva, Marcia Jean Kurtz's moment, Cooper's apartment, that impossible final performance and the sheer number of times you hear the name Jodie Sawyer.

We are covering this season of Drag Race España as part of our weekly Matreon episodes! Here is our discussion of Episode 2's Dragvision rap battle/girl group fiasco. We're starting to pick our favorites in the cast, even if this episode wasn't our favorite of the series. We still got the Javis' furrowed brows, a stern reprimand from all four judges, an iconic talking head look and a vague education of the sensation that is Eurovision.Want even more Alright Mary?

As this brief off-season continues before All Stars 8, this week we're releasing our OnlyMarys discussion of Episode 3 of "The Last of Us" on the main feed! We break down the beats and nuances of Frank and Bill's Linda Ronstadt scored courtship, dissect all of the meaning in the line "Go take a shower, Bill" and totally Mary out on the evolution of this gay relationship in spite of the zombie apocalypse going on around them.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s a time capsule within a time capsule this week as we flash back to a Matreon episode from June of 2019 about, that’s right, Drag Race time capsules! This is just after Season 11 ended as we make our choices for each season’s time capsule and veer off down memory lane for a tangent or two. Want even more Alright Mary?

The season of the Sasha Colby meet and greet ended, appropriately enough, with a Sasha Colby crown and scepter. And maybe we should have seen that coming since Kerri Colby uttered her name at the beginning of last season. It certainly felt obvious in the finale, as Anetra, Luxx and Mistress delivered good warm up act performances of Leland songs before Sasha gave us G-O-D-D-E-S—you know the rest.Meanwhile we got a not in memorium of Bob Mackie, a sway-along to a Wigloose number (particularly Sugar), Best Supporting Mama Monsoon, an important message from Kevin Bacon and friends (and by friends we don’t mean those VHS tapes), Malaysia’s congenial era (it’s not funny) and the lip sync showdown we’ve been expecting since the Lalaparuza.

Ru brings back her girls for a supersized reunion. Well, more like a Mistress Isabelle Brooks meet and greet with guest host Luxx, cameos from Anetra and Sasha (GOLBY), Poppy’s homage to entrance jeans, Loosey determined to show us how loose she can let, Kevin Bacon’s VHS collection, the pizza queen adjacency of the Golden Boot, moments of garbled insight from Spice, a non-response response to nogueing and finally, a moment of recognition for “It’s not funny.” More importantly, we have merch! https://www.alrightmary.com/storeWant even more Alright Mary?

The final four are headed to space this week courtesy of the RuZQ to add their two cents in eight bars to RuPaul’s “Blame It on the Edit.” But first, we debate whether it's Anetra or Sasha getting the winner’s edit based on the narratives of these Tic Tac lunches and Blame it on the Amazon for having to sit through so many mop commercials.The girls are out of small talk in the workroom, giving us time to also talk about our love for Roxxxy Andrews in “Read U Wrote U,” Tyra’s run on Season 2, Kennedy Goddamn Davenport in general, Sasha Velour’s semifinals golemography, the various love letters of Drag Race, Johnny Guitar and even some strong feelings on picnic salads. We get beautiful gowns, beautiful gowns on the runway, terrifying messages from the future to their past selves, and the double shantay we’ve been expecting all season. To wrap things up, we spin out on an extended tangent about early 2000’s romcoms often starring Bradley Cooper. Want even more Alright Mary?

Trailblazing Portland drag legend Darcelle XV passed away on March 23rd at the age of 92 after a Guinness World Record making career in drag. We were beyond fortunate to interview Darcelle (aka Walter Cole) back in 2019, along with Anthony Hudson aka Carla Rossi (and co-host of Gaylords of Darkness podcast), as part of the Listen Up Podcast festival. In memory of Darcelle, we're sharing our conversation with her here, discussing how she got started in the true Wild West of drag, the power the art form has had on audiences and on Walter, of course the impact of Drag Race, and what the future of drag looks like.Want even more Alright Mary?

Our Teachers of Drag Race fantasy comes true with this week’s makeover challenge. We could talk all day about Sasha Colby in a parent teacher conference with America’s next Tamisha Iman, to say nothing of Intro to Art queen Miss Tang and Mistress cutting up after class. But who we have the most to talk about this episode is actually Loosey, including everything we didn’t see in the show. (Shoutout to the Roscoe’s Viewing Party!) Plus: a formative memory about Mrs. Beck, an addition to the family on the soundboard, Fresh Quotes, not the star of The Flight Attendant, teachers striking a pose, a reference queen’s lip sync, and a pissed Miss La Duca ready for a Comeback.Want even more Alright Mary?

Art imitates life this week as the Top 6 mounts this season's polished and prophetic Rusical "Wigloose"! We have much to say about the unfortunate inspiration for the challenge but we also have a lot of love for Salina EsTitties, even if we can't agree on those gloves. We get some mini therapy sessions with workroom Ru while Loosey's breaking point proves to be less entertaining than Mistress thinks and morphs into one of the more unfortunate edits of the series. Everyone shines in the performance, but none more than the music and vocals themselves. Given the heavy undercurrent of this episode, a little Kate Bush feels like an appropriate lip sync to close things out. Want even more Alright Mary?

It was really seven queens and about three good jokes in this week’s standup comedy challenge, but let’s be honest, the real star of the episode is that lip sync. We also get Sasha Colby (Taaaassha Gooollllby) quoting an Emmy winning icon, No More Mrs. Nice EsTitties having a mirror micromoment with Mistress, the pure rush of endorphins that was that mini challenge (unless of course you’re Aja), and Luxx and Ru having a volley on the runway that made us want to smear our lipstick (while doing the arm thing) and wear combat boots. If ever there was a week to save the musical theatre queen, it was maybe the one right before the Rusical challenge, but Ru’s the boss, bitch, and we say goodbye to the little lady from the house of Brady.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s a lesson in active listening this week as the queens channel their inner Barbara Walters (or, Hugh Downs in a wig) for the C-List celebrity chat show 50/50 (or 33/33/33 in some cases). Love Connie drives away with our hearts, and Luxx more than keeps up. Frankie Grande and Loosey just can’t stop quoting “Aliens,” Mistress misses her first beat all season, and Sasha tosses both her cards and Charo’s salad. A night of 1,000 Beyonces is 7 great looks and Marcia but this recurring theme is just nothing to get into formation over. The lip sync song choice puts the Bey in Basic, but Salina puts a nice ring on it and, while it’s not funny, the Babydoll is sent back to the crib. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s not just any old ball this week, it’s the Reference Ball! Or, no, the Crystal Ball. Either way it’s the 200th episode of Drag Race! If you like queens quoting queens, you and Luxx are in for a treat this week, as the mini-challenge, the producer prompted workroom banter and two of the runways are inspired by balls, gags and the most iconic bodysuit in Drag Race herstory. Mistress shines in her congenial era, Loosey’s all wound up, Salina is a good bro in the workroom, Ru gives us a prance and we find out what’s wrong, Anetra. Did Sasha Colby (Tasha Gooooolllby) smoke the competition, or are the judges high? Thyme’s up for Spice and she’s sent trotting back to the TikTok rack. Want even more Alright Mary?

It was a big week for Bruno! He got to call the balls (silently of course) for this week’s lip sync smackdown AND sit at the judges’ table! But more importantly, we got wall to wall lip syncs for 34 minutes, including some that just tore the roof off the house. Selina transformed Celine, Marcia put on more makeup (and won her lip sync!), Mistress didn't miss a beat, Spice did about as well as you would expect, and we were gifted with Anetra vs Sasha Colby (Sasha Coooooolllby). Speaking of Anetra, she and Jax spent the entire episode emptying the tank of all kicks, flips and ducks while Malaysia got double gooped, Loosey nearly lost it and Luxx lucked out. Ultimately one more Connecticut queen was sent home to Queens. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week’s acting challenge took a huge swing into absurdist territory and many fans said, “It’s not funny.” We found a lot to love, including the Too Many Queens opening credits, Sasha’s eye acting, that Latrice laugh and the mere idea of a surprise Danny Trejo. Malaysia and Mistress stole the show in both the challenge and the episode, and gave us lots to discuss about evoking the Bully Card and making adult decisions in a playground fight. Plus: Loosey’s Lips, a little EsTitties moment, Spice’s troll trot, and a non-specific goodbye message to Aura from a mother to her bitch. Want even more Alright Mary?

The Season 15 speed run continues with golden oldie girl groups this week. Metalgate almost turns the workroom into a mosh pit but we also get Mistress’s old school charm and Sasha Justice Corner. We give Robin more airtime than the show did, identify deeply with Malaysia, discuss campy Drag Race narratives, and have an impromptu PSA about a very important topic: stretching.

It's double the Snatch Game in half the time this week! On the upside, we got less time with the performances that bombed, but on the downside, we didn't get more of Tim Gunn, Rosie O'Donnell or Joan Rivers--or just about any of Sasha Colby. The runway was a bit of a Dragula crossover but the main event was the conclusion of this season's Act One headliners, The Twins, with a choreographed swan song of a lip sync that sent Sugar back to TikTok.

Heaven's a place on earth this week as 15 queens try to sell us on their version of the afterlife. To be honest, most of them needed a bit of divine intervention, though we can agree that God is good, either as a Dolly or a Colby. With just 43 minutes on the clock, we don't get a mini challenge, judges' deliberations or Aura Mayari this episode, but we do get a heavy metal runway, two little white girls lip syncing to Diana Ross and the end of Princess Poppy's brief reign.

We're kicking this week off on the main feed, but will be Patreon only after this!We get our feelings out this week on "The Real Friends of WeHo" and why we might still watch it, and reminisce again about the bizarrely fascinating social experiment gone wrong, Vanjie's 24 Hours of Love. We also take a walk down memory runway of some classic seasons of "Project Runway" so get ready to hear some thoughts on Angela Keslar and her poor mom.

It's been a long two weeks, but we finally have a new season of Drag Race! Season 15 has a record 16 contestants and is shaping up to be TikTok Queens vs. IRL Queens. And then of course, there's SASHA COLBY! This episode may stick to some familiar mini challenges and the tried and true talent show, but there's a slick MTV finish on it all, to say nothing of this charismatic pack of competitors, that has us excited. (Even if most of them lip synced to their own hype track.) And while it took no less than a solid 120 minutes before the first elimination this week, that's nothing compared to last season.

Peter's return to Neverland in Steven Spielberg's "Hook" takes us on a number of tangents and deep dives and rabbit holes, because Mary..."Hook" is so gay. From Peter Pan Syndrome to the chosen family of Lost Boys to the high diva performance of Dustin Hoffman, we have much to discuss this week. To say nothing of the dreamy Bob Hoskins, Rufio the mean gay, Tinkerbell the fairy chaser, Maggie Smith doing that old lady thing, some requisite daddy issues, and what it means for gay men to go to Neverland today.

This season came in like a lion and went out like a mysterious budget cut with a final floorshow that was unfortunately overshadowed by a picture at the final moments that spoke a thousand words. Or actually, spoke no words, because we have no idea why the season ended on a Jpeg and a tour promo.

Icons celebrate icons this week as the top 5 Titans bring their horror idols to life for the semifinal floorshow. To no one's surprise, Victoria takes us to Universal Studios but Hoso climbed out of that TV and under our skin. Koco serves Boulet Stepbrother, Evah's spaceship doesn't quite land and Astrud's hunt for a win this season leaves her neon Predator empty handed. While the Top 3 may have been no huge surprise, our bigger question is whether or not the other queens actually get to go on the tour. Want even more Alright Mary?

Evah’s tendency towards the dramatic works in her favor this week, but Melissa Be Over It and raises hell in the cauldron before melting down in the hallway. We cover everything from LL Cool J to Eileen Davidson this episode, so dive in and leave it all on the stage, babies. Want even more Alright Mary?

The Love Triangle of Terror has been disbanded but the tension looms in the boudoir, so it's the perfect week for the Top 6 to be wrestling each other. (Even if it is all highly choreographed thanks to Best Supporting Emmy.) We're of course coo-coo for Koco's puffs this week, as well as Vicky's resemblance to a certain Oscar winning actress. Evah gives us some intense orgy ensemble acting, Melissa Be Nuanced in the confessional, guest judge Katya goes hog on Astrud's shoes and the bottom two know who they are and they're not done showing it, alright Mary?

The zombie prom themed floorshow this week is befitting of an episode rife with high school drama. The love triangle of terror continues to dominate the conversation, and our only hope is Koco Caine. We have much to say about eating brains, titty babies, Victoria as a future judge, our feelings for the Boulets, and our predictions for the finale. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week's Dungeons and Dragons inspired acting challenge sends the monsters on location, or at least out of the boudoir, to be elves and gnomes and barbarians, oh my. This naturally led us to some tangents on Medieval Times and the perils of Shakespearean comedy. Astrud geeks out, Abhora eases up, Evah has a moment and Hoso gets a bump on the head. Koco continues to steal the show, but finally earns a win for it, while Melissa excels as the head camp counselor, Vicky looks like Glenn Close and Erika is freed from the miserable time she's been having here.

It's sci-fi in the floorshow but a soap opera in the boudoir this week as the Ab-Hoso-strid love triangle dominates the conversation. Evah continues her run as camp counselor, Melissa be emotional in the cauldron and Koco always tells us the truth, when she's not busy making a gun in three hours. Kendra nearly saves herself with phone acting this week, Erika serves Suspiria red and a drop crotch, and Vicky is the Thing that Ate this Competition. Want even more Alright Mary?

in the words of Rosemary Woodhouse, all of them witches! And we do mean all of them, as Abhora saunters back into the competition and the love triangle of the season rears its pointy head again. The monsters are bringing their witchiest looks to the floorshow this week and the head of your high school drama club is here to judge. The curse of baldness and Votegate from last week fail to launch any new drama before the masked monster of the North is flushed into the afterworld. Want even more Alright Mary?

We're going towards the light, Mary! "Poltergeist" may not be the scariest movie on our shelves, but it is the one that features an Oscar worthy JoBeth Williams as an unstoppable Final Mom, Craig T. Nelson giving his hottest suburban dad, an amazing Jerry Goldsmith score, the legendary Beatrice Straight, some beautiful dog acting, an in over her head Tangina, and some brilliant commentary on the perils of the American dream.

We're back in the budoir with 10 familiar faces from seasons past for an all-star season of Dragula Titans! This supersized episode had supersized personal drama, including a love triangle, resentments harbored from exterminations past, and one monster's striking resemblance to a toilet bowl. About an hour in, we get to the challenge itself, before things quickly go the way of a Real Housewives reunion and end with a Double Dare style trap door elimination. Want even more Alright Mary?

Not to be confused with Penny Marshall in "The Looker," this week we're discussing Ryan Murphy's loosely inspired by true events miniseries "The Watcher." We love the New Jersey of it all, how much fun Margo Martindale is having and the extent to which Mia Farrow and Noma Dumezweni got the assignment. We could (and do!) go on all day about our love for Bobby Cannavale and his bedroom furniture. But seven episodes of red herrings that were all more interesting than the truth? And who exactly killed the ferret? Plus, our thoughts on and then impressions of Jennifer Coolidge, how we would have liked to see this all have gone, and the varied success of past Ryan Murphy productions. We wrap things up with some initial thoughts on Dragula Titans, which we'll be covering later this week!Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re broing out this week on the movie “Bros”! While much has been said about its box office numbers or its production credentials, we have a lot more to say about what it did or didn’t achieve as an occasionally satirical but definitively gay take on the romcom. Plus even more to say about the experiences from our own lives it touched upon (and just some semi-related tangents that are at least really gay.)Want even more Alright Mary?

We're kicking off Alright Scary this year with Hulu's Halloween drag variety show/extended seasonal content promo, "Huluween Dragstravaganza"! Monet and Ginger are taking the Elvira-ish reigns, hosting a bonkers 42 minutes of familiar faces from Drag Race, Lady Bunny and Jackie Beat keeping it refreshingly tongue in cheek and corny, a questionable song choice from Kesha that at least inspires a "Dahmer" tangent, an ear worm of an opening number and no crown or cash prize at the end!
