We’re kicking off Pride month with a bonus deep dive into the new gay rom-com with a little dram, “Fire Island”! We have as much to say about the movie as we do about what the movie is saying about class, status and social equity in this relatively tiny corner of an island. Plus: an In the Bedroom reference, the allusions to Pride & Prejudice, Erin’s story, fairies, ferries, $9 for Cheez-Its and the truth about the underwear party…
For a much more personal take on Fire Island and our own gay vacation experiences, check out our “Gaycations” episode at the OnlyMary’s level on Patreon!

Episode 345.5: BONUS! “Fire Island”

Alright Mary is two parts Drag Race viewing party, one part queer studies lecture and a healthy dose of obscure pop culture references, all wrapped in a nuanced layer of dad jokes and pun-offs served weekly with a side of piping-hot tea.

After Shows

Roxxxy Andrews more than earns her commission in the final minutes of this week’s episode. After a series of real estate commercials that weren’t necessarily fighting off bidders, some workroom drama about Florida accents, Jorgeous's Mommy and me moment on the runway and a pretty hairy lip sync, an anguished blind crab walk was just what this episode needed to continue to sell us on this absurd telethon pitting charities against one another. Also, the Teletubbies show up and we have some very strong opinions on real estate agency branding, silly straight boys and of course, Shannel.  Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 454: Drag Race All Stars 9 Ep 5: Property Queens

Makeovers meets the girl group challenge with a healthy dose of daddy issues in this week’s episode. We have much to say about Shannel, including the fact that she is iconically badgeless, not as much to say about alliances and cliques and lots of feelings about that pole dancer, Ross’s commitment to making/not losing these references, and why All Stars needs more stars.   Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 452.5: BONUS! All About Yvie (w/ Yvie Oddly!)

We get twice the tickled ivories this week when two Liberaces show up on Snatch Game of Love. Personally, we have dibs on Marla Gibbs and whatever she’s got in that shoulder bag. Thanks to Shannel, we spend some necessary time on both the expression and the movie “in the cut” and Jorgeous inspires us to revisit an internet legend. We also figure out who Roxxxy looks like in her confessionals, and of course can’t resist a tangent on Terrence. Inevitably we end up talking at some point about Vanjie’s fever dream of a WOW+ dating show again, but we also cover the night of 1000 reveals, Gottmik running away with the runway theme and the perils of doing imaginary characters on Snatch Game.   Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 452: Drag Race All Stars 9 -  Ep 3: Snatch Game of Love

Sisters are doing it for charity this season of All Stars, and the stakes have never been lower! But honestly, it’s kind of nice to just watch a variety show for the next couple months, especially with a cast this solid. Episodes 1 and 2 both dropped in the wee hours of the morning so we’re covering both in a supersized episode this week. We got two hours of familiar faces reading, singing, dancing, sewing, painting, literally painting, lip syncing and scissoring one another and we can’t really complain, except maybe it could have been shorter? (Here comes that Change.org petition.) We’d like to know so much more about Shannel’s Christmas house. Also, Roxxxy Fucking Andrews, a very important moment of appreciation for Shelly Williams, a look back at our own art histories, a potential Jump in the Line bracket and the power of a hanky.   Want even more Alright Mary?
