The queens get by with a little help from their Judy's for this season's makeover challenge. The Top 6 are serving chosen family resemblance realness--though some are more like distant cousins or ex-spouses who once hosted a variety show together. We discuss how Judy Garland had (and hadn't) kicked off the Stonewall riots and find plenty of Best Supporting Actress nuances to nominate. We get into report cards vs. strategy, which runway looks sent us over the rainbow and why Naomi is a ninja star.

Episode 145: RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 4 - RuPaul's Best Judy's Race

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

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?

Episode 447: Drag Race S16 Ep 14 - Booked & Blessed

What happens in Vegas doesn’t really ever stay in Vegas anymore these days, which is all to say that this week we finally get the makeover challenge! Five backup dancers from Drag Race Vegas LIVE (!) are perfectly paired with our five remaining showgirls--but oh also, we didn't get nearly enough Showgirls references this episode, I know that much. We have a lot to say about Monopoly, GUESS WHO, the blushing police, Ru’s roots in San Diego, that Plane and Lazy workroom connection, the audacity of TS Madison to notice a color story, the potential in the name Susan, this moment that country is having and why Sapphira very much won that lip sync while looking like one of the Knicks. Want even more Alright Mary?

Episode 446: Drag Race S16 Ep 13 - Drag Race Vegas LIVE! Makeovers

There’s no room to rest this week as the top six put their backs into custom bathrooms with thrones fit for a strange German couple played Carson and Michelle. Plane writes all of her worries down on a piece of paper and tears it up, and that is the vulnerability the judges are looking for. Q continues to rue the decisions Ru makes, Morphine loves shit talking, Dawn and Nymphia circle the drain as challenge partners and Sapphira is officially Number 1 in the race by the time she’s scooting down the runway looking like a Dalmatian in a gimp mask. Alas, the sun sets on the morning glory of Brooklyn, but at least we all discovered a new Pit Crew crush. Want even more Alright Mary?
