2024/10/17

HOW HAVE WE HAD TEN WEEKS OF THIS!? The girls are asked to make commercials advertising their home country (or, y'know, where RuPaul THINKS their country of origin is) and then we have weird commercials for Star Trek and Canva! What a world! Meanwhile Steven is back from his break and we're gonna see how many times we can say the not-nice-word-for-gay because apparently it's a food! Hey, United Kingdom, quick question: What the fuck? Join us for a bit of spotted dick and a trip to the clinic in

Episode 76 - Brit-Flicks (RPDRUK S6 E3)

This Toxic Fandom ·

2024/10/14

We're just a podcast sitting in your up next queue asking you to listen to us. It's an acting challenge this week, and the queens are asked to dig deep into their diaries to see if acting actually is in their wheelhouse. They spoof some of the best British (and a few American) Romcoms and on the runway see if they can spin the judges right round with their New Romantics look. Yes, "romance" is in the air, but one of these queens is going to sashay away and find a brand new lover.

2024/10/11

Steven continues to be MIA and now he’s missing the first good episode in a minute! Well that’s fine as David and Joe dive into the obligatory makeover challenge, this time with the remaining girls giving the eliminated queens new looks and new names for some reason! Nehelina finally gets her roses, but will that be enough to stop the reign of the Ru Girls? Find out in this all new This Toxic Fandom!

Episode 74 - Haus of Rupaul (RPDRUK S6 E2)

This Toxic Fandom ·

2024/10/07

This week the queens have to work in teams to create a cohesive collection to present on the runway. Their materials? Things mama Ru has Marie Condoed from different rooms in her house! Did you know Rupaul has a disco room!? You do if you watched her AD video... Garments are made, queens are thrown under buses, and the Drag Race franchise proves once again that if it were an Olympian, it'd probably be Tonya Harding.

Much like Sabrina Carpenter, and how one of these podcasters takes their espresso, this episode is Short n Sweet. Do you have a lot to say about Global All Stars? That's what we thought. Find out who we thought was giving us a real buzz this episode, how we take our coffee, and why we're crying over spilled greek yogurt (they can't all be coffee jokes.)

Cheerio and welcome back to Drag Race UK!! In this season premiere we discuss the new queens, their talents, and figure out which queen truly shows us if life really is a Cabaret. Bliebe, reste, stay and listen to us talk about this brand new season! (Please note due to technical difficulties, this episode came out strangely in the audio quality department.)

2024/09/24

In the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, Steven cashes in his doctor's note to be excused from this season and leaves David and Joe to talk about RuPaul's Global All Stars Snatch Game of Love. The roughest challenge on a season that's aggressively rough? What could go wrong? What about cultural insensitivity and King Kong in the year of our lord 2024! Oh bother. Then the girls serve us dinner as the runway theme is - brace yourselves - food from your country! Makes me want a hot dog real bad

And to think, this is the first time Steven is sober in three episodes! David makes their triumphant return as they come in to celebrate everyone's second favorite kind of cock, cocktails! Okay, that joke might've been too blue, sorry. But the bois talk about cocktail dresses, the mysteries around the suitcases the queens brought, and more!

Episode 69 - Boobie The Shequel (RPGAS S1 EP 5)

2024/09/10

Woe be upon us as we continue to crawl our ways out of the hot, sunny, blistering heat of Los Angeles and try to bring you entertainment from a boulder of unpleasantness known as RuPaul's GAS! I'm sorry, I meant Global All Stars. This week the girls are given hilarious (questionable) scripts that are parodies of classic films and also sequels to Barbie, but everyone gets Jimbo's breast plate because we learned nothing from Veronica Scone I suppose! Meanwhile, Joe and Steven try to keep the boat

The inmates are running the asylum as David takes a break (because he HAD A FREAKIN' WEDDING AND IS TIRED DAMMIT) so Steven and Joe are left to their own devices, but sadly after a computer malfunction they had to get together after some drinking and re-record this episode! Oh no, it's very silly!!! While the bois slur their way through the latest episode of RuPaul's Global All Stars, the girls are put into groups and told to make a girl group by writing original lyrics to the song Everybody Say

The top four of Canada Vs The World get their portraits done, recap this palette cleanser of a season, and dive into a Lip Sync for the Crown where it could be anyone's game! But it belongs to Lemon, let's not be silly, here. The bois meanwhile dive into how much fun this season was and how great it is when you have a cast with great chemistry and a narrative that makes any of our top four a viable heir to Rajah Davenport O'Hara's crown! Will the crown go back to Canada, or will it remain somewhere

2024/08/26

For some reason that can only be chalked up to poor planning and/or intentional villainy, they decide to do a ball in episode two with THIRTY SOMETHING LOOKS. Glad to know poorly planning international trips isn't just a me problem! The girls are given a James Bond-inspired challenge where they have to make super spies and their octopussy is on fire! Well, some of them. Some of them just wrap themselves in fabric and put on a good wig and call it a day. The bois talk about runways, international

2024/08/22

Leave it to the Canadians to look at two of the hardest challenges that queens do every season and go "Hey, what if we combined the two?" While we experience some technical difficulties, the bois go into what makes a good and a bad choice, what is so damn funny about saying Cheryl like she bit your finger in an aughts viral video, and why Joe is wrong about How Far I Go not being a good lipsynch song YES JOE I CONTINUE TO CALL YOU OUT HERE IN THE COPY!

What a title, huh folks? While we try to figure out how to make our new profile picture look good (turns out two unathletic Jews and a gym bunny lead to some interesting olympic-themed photographs) let's meet our very first GLOBAL ALL STARS! From all around the world, from the Philipines to Belgium to America, drag queens have congregated under the banner of Drag Race for a chance at glory and now some of the best of the best (and honestly it's a pretty damn stacked cast) have come together to

2024/08/15

Let's get this roast a-cookin'! The producers up in Canada prove that they're smarter than the average bear (they have bears in Canada, right?) by combining the reading mini-challenge with the roast challenge! As the girls pair off to read each other the house-down-boots-tongue-pop-yes-gawd, the bois gush about this amuse bouche of a season as it cleanses the pallette and reminds us that the only thing we're fucking is funny. Does that joke work? Are you still reading this? If you are, you have to

2024/08/08

It's a new day on the pod and we're having a ball! ...Literally. This week the queens have to take on the future in what we're lovingly calling the AI Ball. I was going use AI to write this summery but as a writer I couldn't bring myself to. Can all of these bottom ball girls find a top? Is Feircealicious a petulant child? Who gets a Rudemption? And is there such thing as a good Avril Lavigne lip sync song (David thinks they all are, don't come for him)? All this and more! Take a listen and

Well, we did it, Joe! We finished the season of... Well, not a whole lot. We've probably seen worse, but not by much. How will it end? With a bang or a whimper? Will the judging make sense? Will Steven try desperately to remain positive despite having brain problems? Will David talk about The Fabulous Four, now in theaters, go see it? Will Joe give some of their hottest takes? Yes! To all of these! But more! Check it out now and join the conversation as we finally bid adieu to All Stars 9!Check us

It's a smack-down, drag-out fight for the finish as the second round of girls enters Canada Vs. The Wor-- Well, it's really more of Canada Vs. The Commonwealth if you only have one girl from a season that isn't from an English-speaking country, innit? After slogging through All Stars 9 the bois are back and ready to watch girls from France, the UK, America, and Canada battle it out for a crown and $100,000 in a season that Joe probably called "Lemon-tastic" in private and would never admit it

UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BREAK THE FINALE INTO TWO PARTS DO THEY NOT THINK PEOPLE HAVE LIVES?! The bois are on the struggle bus and it's careening towards a cliff as the girls of All Stars 9 do the world's longest makeover mini-challenge of all time and then faff about forever. Tic Tacs are eaten, sleep is not had, and the twists on twists on twists don't really feel all that twisty in the grand scheme of things, so the Bois get medical and start dissecting
