Flame ON!

Ello, Ello, Ello, gov'nah! We all know that the queen always enters a room purse first, but RuPaul's Drag Race UK enters Baga Chipz first! Listen in for all the tea about the Drag Race UK premiere!

It's time for the tea... and crumpets, dear listeners! The premier of RuPaul's Drag Race UK has landed and these queens came here to make their mark and win their badges! From their entrance looks, to the first mini challenge, the Drag Race formula has crossed the pond and we've picked up a few new colloquialisms to add to our vocabulary! Hear the boys chat about their thoughts on the show's (lack of change in) format, the lack of prizes, and the queen inspired looks on the runway. It's time to pour the Vinegar into your finest Crystal and get ready for a new RuCap!

Grab your wig and heels, 'cause we're bringing you another fabulous episode of Drag is the New Spandex!

We just took a DNA taste, turns out we're 100% THAT gay! Whether it's shaking our groove thangs or being scared of IT, we're ready to tackle the month in pop culture and share it all with you!

After the glitter and sequins have faded from RuPaul's DragCon NYC 2019, the boys have found their way back to the round table for a new discussion on the pop culture topics that are on everyone's lips... Okay, well maybe just theirs - but that's enough for them!

They start the show by tackling the topic of white privilege and Chelsea Handler's new Netflix documentary, Hello. Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea before diving into the songs and tears brought on by Steven Universe: The Movie and the epic cloning reveal in Jonathan Hickman's reboot of Marvel's X-Men in House of X and Powers of X. This month's break for station identification also includes the formal announcement of the new Flame ON! Patreon page where you can become part of our podcast family and help support the show at one of four genetically modified tiers! 

We also discuss hard it is to escape your childhood demons as they review It Chapter 2 before moving on to puppets that scream at each other in Netflix's new show, Jim Henson's Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and some chatter and excitement for the return of The Good Place for its fourth and final season. Before the boys sign off, you'll get to hear about the things that are giving them life in this month's 1-UPs (hint... one of them might involve Lizzo).

Sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!

What's better than stopping to smell the Blu Hydrangeas? Maybe a Baga Chipz with a side of Vinegar served in some Crystal? Well, we think that having a kiki with the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK is top of the pops and we hope you do too!

RuPaul's DragCon NYC 2019 was the gift that just keeps on giving! While Brian and Pat were covering the convention, they were lucky enough to have a chance to interview the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in pairs of two and they wanted to get all the tea on their geeky traits, habits, and loves. Even though they had some equipment issues on day one, they still made sure they had a great time chatting with these amazing new queens to who are over the moon to join the legacy and family that is RuPaul's Drag Race!

What happens when you fill a convention space with fabulous celebs, outstanding drag queens & kings & genderbending artists, pink carpet, glitter, and a whole lotta love? It's called RuPaul's DragCon NYC and it celebrated its third year with a weekend full of panels, performances, and fierceness at the Javits Center. Pat and, off air contributor, Brian got some amazing photos and interviews that they were glad to share on the show's Instagram page, but Pat wanted to sit down and share his experiences with you, dear listeners.

Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, our regular DragCon RuCappers were unavailable to join him, so Pat shares his thoughts with you solo. He shares stories, thoughts, and some upcoming surprises as well as sharing news and info about our brand new Patreon for Flame ON! where you can help support the show directly while receiving great new perks. All in this fabulous new episode!

With the past behind us, we look to the present to see where representation has come since our early days, but beyond even that, we take a look at the horizon and venture to guess what the future will hold for not only us, but for generations to come! Welcome to the Gays of Future Present!

After the cliffhanger at the end of our last episode, BeeJay is safely back behind the microphone to bring guide our crew through a new discussion on LGBTQIA+ representation. This time around we take a look at modern day representation in TV, movies, and much more in pop culture. Whether it's Schitt's Creek, Stranger Things, and Valkyrie being the MCU's first LGBTQIA+ super hero or Steven Universe, RuPaul's DragCon, or Marvel's Jessica Jones, we are seeing representation on a level that couldn't have dreamed of twenty years ago. Not content to stop there, we also take a look towards the future and discuss what we want to see in the future so that generations to come will be able to live out and proud!

What is the first instance of homosexuality that you can remember from pop culture? Was it something that stuck with you, or was it a fleeting caricature of that was included for laughs? It's time for Rachel Summers to send us back in time as we discuss the Gays of Future Past!

Beejay is back behind the host mic to bring you our newest installment in our Now That's What I Call Gay Life series! This time around, he has dropped the deeply personal and introspective questions and instead wants to find out what was the first LGBT+ representation the panel saw in pop culture. From Liberace and All My Children to Married With Children and The Simpsons, the boys dive into the Gays of Future Past to discuss the pop culture influences that shaped their early lives. Did they touch on the representation that you first saw on television, music, or games? Listen in and find out, but be careful because there may be a cliffhanger before reaching the Gays of Future Present...

We all have dealbreakers. Those little (or not so little) qualities about other people that shut down our romantic and sometimes even platonic attraction to the people that enter into our lives. Check out what the boys of Flame ON! consider absolute dealbreakers!

Beejay is back with Pat and Josh for another round table discussion about the things that make gay life oh so interesting. We parse those qualities that make you take a step back and decide that you can't continue getting to know someone either romantically or even platonically. Whether it's good dental hygiene, complaining that someone works too much, or kissing - these qualities could be the last straw in a budding relationship. Find out all the details in this new installment of our Gay Life series!
