This Toxic Fandom

The bois learn to dance dance dance with their hands hands hands above their head head heads! Or something like that. Maybe that song is just stuck in my head. Regardless, in this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the queens are tasked with making high-fashion goth inspired looks. Of course, they do this after getting rid of the only girl who had a goth phase, but hey, who are we to judge? Well, we're podcasters! It's our job! As they discuss fashion, goth, and the horrific mental image Joe gets of "club kids", they celebrate the gender spectrum and get into the nitty gritty of a goth runway!

While Steven is still in recovery from a musical episode, David and Joe team up with adult content creator and general zaddy, Daddy Kylex!  And it's just in time, too, because it's the snatch game! Again! Will this be a legendary flop like season 14? An overstuffed mess like S15? Or will it actually be... A good snatch game?! Give it a listen to find out! Because with a snatch stuffed by a daddy, it's hard not to have an extra-long episode! Oh god, I'm so sorry you had to read that, but seriously, it's a great episode and a great guest.

Special thanks to Nick Crawford for editing this episode.

The pain, the pain of it all! It's another musical episode! Will Steven survive the endless references he doesn't understand?! Will Joe and David get into a heated debate over the best uses of Fossey styled choreography? Well, freakin' DUH, but hey they have a good time and even talk about an amazing runway with a gay Cloverfield monster! That's just special! The bois are going deep and getting broad(way) - It's time for the sound of Rusic, y'all!

Content Warning: For some reason Joe brings up ALF of all things?! Do you remember ALF? He's back! In reference form! Steven may never recover. We're down to 11 girls and after a fun flamenco number they're forced to be THE DOLLS and create their very own fashion doll! Marketing, storytelling, and fashion all clash in the toy aisle as some girls get the prompt, some girls flounder, some girls panic and drink something they shouldn't, and at least three girls wear blue stretch velvet. It's a weird done, y'all! The bois dive into the toy aisle and their childhood loves and talk a big game, but can they survive the valley of the dolls, or will they end up in the bargain basement bin!? Find out this week's This Toxic Fandom!

Well, it's time to ask the age-old question: Does RuPaul actually know what ASMR is? The girls are broken up into teams for maximum carnage and forced to write lyrics to RuPaul's latest ear-worms such as ASMR Lover, Star Baby, and one other song I can't remember but will inevitably be humming for the rest of the week. One of the contestants continues to be a bully but a really ineffective one and we have OPINIONS on Dawn and the life she's found on Mars. Will the bois have the wherewithal to be the Spice Girls or are they looking at being B*Witched and only remembered by weirdos who remember Disney Channel Original Movies?

It's not live and we're not in New York but dammit, we have a show to talk about and we're gonna make it work! The bois talk about Cher, the talents of a certain Plane, and much All Stars 8 we have RDR Live, a parody of SNL, which has devolved into a parody of itself. Like do we need to celebrate a show that came out forever ago, possibly lost it's luster, but matters because it's made some pop-culture icons that define generations? Wait, am I talking about SNL or RPDR? Or both! Doesn't matter! We're super excited because CHEEEERRRRR and also we get all emotional about Mirage because she's great xoxo call Joel.

The bois bring back their honory boi (I guess goil?) Kayla as they talk about 48 looks and nearly die from all the fashion! Or just die from having to talk about 48 looks! Either way - Holy crap that's a lot of clothes to look at! The runways include Mother Goose, a famous mom (or really just anyone you can justify) and then making clothes for your mother out of clothes for your father! Clothes out of clothes, why hasn't anyone done this before? And don't say Canada, we both know we couldn't fit that in the schedule! It's not our fault! Anyway, immunity is discussed and Steven actually gets excited about Untucked in a moment of pure madness! Come join the fun and remember that a tie goes with any outfit! Just ask those who had to live in the aughts!

The bois are gathered in Time's Square with a bunch of cardboard signs and they're DETERMINED to get X-Tina off of Carson's top 10 and get Brittney back in there because she deserves it! Oh, wait, no, it's the second part of the season 16 premiere! We meet seven new queens that make them go bananas, stop by the DMV with two special guest stars, and wonder: Why would you give the premiere guest star a bunch of air horns? We'll see beautiful cultural art lose out to boob jokes and we'll also see some sickening makeup! And what's this?! Did we finally talk about Drag Race Canada?! Tune in to find out!

Adult film star and generally amazing person joins the bois as they dive into the first real season of RuPaul's Drag Race they've watched since the podcast began! Hooray! No more asterisks and only one uncomfortable photoshoot! In the premiere episode, seven new queens join the title of Ru Girl as they put on a talent show that's inexplicably hosted by Derrick Berry (who's less of a get as Joel Someone IMHO) and themed after an MTV thing they used to do in the summer. Sure! As the bois gush over Dawn, fall for Sapphira, and wonder who's at the door - oh, wait, it's Love Connie, guess the neighborhood is going to hell. Join us as we get this new season rolling!

The season may be over, but that doesn't mean the bois don't have something to say about a Christmas movie that needs some Jesus. As Steven has a mental breakdown over poor writing, Joe tries to summarize it, and David... Actually seems to have a good time, good for them. Available on Paramount+ until it inevitably gets consolidated into a megacorporation for the holidays, join us as we watch what may be the worst Christmas special that the Drag Race franchise has ever been a part of! Don't @ me about it, I'm drunk on egg nog and having a wonderful time!
