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!

Episode 364: Huluween Dragstravaganza

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

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?

Episode 451: Drag Race All Stars 9 -  Ep 1 & 2: Drag Queens Save the World / The Paint Ball

This week, we're bringing you the first 20 minutes of our discussion about a movie that must be included in the gay canon! If you want to hear the rest of the discussion, check out the link to our Patreon below!*Cruel Intentions* (1999) may mostly be about the heterosexual pursuits of Manhattan’s filthiest and richest, but it’s overwhelmingly queer coded. The cast includes Buffy Summers, Tracy Flick, Joshua Jackson with a box dye job, a cadre of older character actresses in supporting roles, a Tara Reid cameo, Selma Blair casually stealing the movie and even Eric Mabius as the Gregster. Plus Ryan Philippe’s butt, the spittle string when Kathryn and Cecile famously French kiss in the park, a soundtrack with zero skips, and a deeply satisfying female empowerment ending to the tune of “Bittersweet Symphony.”Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 450: Patreon Preview - Cruel Intentions (1999)

It’s time for Ru to pack up the pink limousine and peel out, but first—an uncanny valley version of a live finale! The Top 3 perform signature songs we’ve never heard before, and two of them are actually pretty great while one of them is sort of growing on us. (On an unrelated note, we do a full autopsy of “Bodysuit” this week.) We get some much welcomed mompreciation, plus Mrs. Wind and Mrs. Cristàl, Malaysia Babydoll Eagle, Sasha Colby (SASHA COLBY, Donna TaDonna) being She Her Hers, and finally, a “Padam Padam” lip sync on Drag Race between a vampire from Philadelphia and a boba-filled banana lady. Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 449: Drag Race S16 Ep 16 - Grand Finale

Instead of hashing out old fights while perched on stadium arranged bar stools on either side of the stage, the queens of Season 16 are reuniting to face off in a lip sync bracket for $50,000 and, in Megami’s case, a total rudemption arc. It’s a brand new stage (from Secret Celebrity Drag Race?), a playlist of top tier lip sync songs, Bruno just happy to be there, some girl in the audience high off her heels, and an opportunity for the top three to sit back and be judgey gays in the workroom while the best of the rest put on one of the most entertaining episodes of Drag Race ever. Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 448: Drag Race S16 Ep 15 - LipSync Lalaparuza Smackdown - Reunited

The workroom becomes a writers retreat this week as the top four put pen to paper, photo to book cover and personality to podcast for a memoir-able final lap before the finale. Oh and there’s some casual waterboarding during the mini challenge, but at least it comes with a trip to Puerto Vallarta! Nymphia discusses the challenges of meeting Western beauty standards with Matt Rogers, Sapphira slues her way to the top, Q takes a bite out of soup, Plane finally descends to the bottom 2 and RuPaul gets his life as director of those photo shoots. Want even more Alright Mary?
