Chris Dockum & Katy Clay

Join hosts and judges Chris and Katy as they embark on the ballroom journey of a lifetime: watching and recapping past seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Chris and Katy critique, giggle, argue, and discuss in far too much detail one of the biggest reality TV hits of the mid-2000s.

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2022/09/20

There’s a party going on right here! The Queens of the Night are throwing a very long premiere party for DWTS’ 31st season, and everyone is invited. Clearly everyone was invited to be in this 16 person cast. Can Megan get over her hatred of weather? What is Katy’s biggest fear? Will Katy and Megan talk for hours about the Real Housewife? How often can Chris interrupt and derail the conversation? And does Tyra still suck? Come in, find out, and party hard! Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod, on Facebook at

QUICKSTEP REAX: Season 31 Preview!

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2022/09/13

We’re BACK, baby! The Queens of the Night are reunited and entering uncharted territory of this new streaming era. Tyra-nny still rules the ballroom, but there’s a somewhat interesting cast, a (technically) new co-host, great returning Pros, and a lot of question marks about what Dancing with the Stars 31 is going to be. Katy, Megan, and Producer Chris are just excited to be back together, despite someone’s condition. But most importantly: do Katy and Megan know these celebrities? Sort of. Can Katy

The shock of the century is in this episode, and it comes not from where you think! If you think you know YHAJ, be prepared to have your core beliefs shattered by either or Chris or Katy. (Is it that big a deal? No, but, whatever.) Katy and Chris send off this era of DWTS by picking their favorite dances (and one least favorite) of seasons 5-8, and they have some doozies.

Benny Franks 2: Moves Like Jagger

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2022/07/07

They said it couldn’t be done. A sequel to one of Chris and Katy’s favorite episodes, where they pick a Mt. Rushmore of DWTS contestants from seasons 5-8. One that surpasses its predecessor in sincerity, silliness, and surrealism. An episode to celebrate the 4th of July that envisions an America that could be instead of the one it is. Well, they were wrong. It is here, and it is glorious. What a concept. Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod, on Facebook at Just Meaningful Plastic, or on Instagram at

This is it- it’s the true set-up to DWTS All-Stars! Shawn, Melissa, and Gilles compete in the closest final the show has ever seen, and why not just listen to this ep? Because after this, I wouldn’t be surprised if we never heard from DWTS season 8 again.

2022/06/23

It’s a very special Pride episode of JMP (because we mention it once, just like any good corporation)! Your Hosts and Judges (YHAJ? Maybe we’ll try it out) discuss the gay icons that are Gina Gershon and Rihanna, and they get to look at the smokeshow that is Gilles. They get heated over the straight cowboy, hunty, and you know Chris is ready to read him to filth. But is Chris also being the jester flop in the clown square? Katy would probably say YASSSSSSS, queen. And they are ready to serve the

Get out your cardboard cutouts of Shawn Johnson, because it’s time for weeks 7 and 8 of DWTS 8! A group dance, two team dances, and dances that actually matter await within this hour of chaos. More injuries abound both on the show and on the pod, deep dives into rival podcasts occur, and changes of heart are in store. But not about Chuck. Never about Chuck. Bye, Chuck. Oh, and EDYTA GOES GOLFING. Buried the lede, we did. Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod, on Facebook at Just Meaningful Plastic, or on

And No Rings for Melissa Rycroft

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2022/06/09

Praise to Lord Mirrorballus and the Virgin Latoya, because it’s an all-new episode of JMP! Chris is on painkillers and Katy is not, so it must be good. And speaking of good, Melissa is too good, to the point where betrayals of past selves are necessary. The Dark Side beckons, and she is a fabulous temptress without a ring. The halfway level point of season 8 is here, so get ready for a rollicking end to the season, and make sure to avoid that lift police brutality! Follow us on Twitter @JMPPod, on

The Last We’ll See of Denise Richards

Just Meaningful Plastic: A DWTS Retrospective ·

2022/06/02

Katy had no idea what she was in for on this ep of the pod, and the man who writes the episode descriptions would like to use this space to maybe apologize. Listen as Chris, in real time, goes from happy to befuddled to mad to genuinely furious over something that shouldn’t provoke this level of emotion. There are Argentine tangos to calm and thrill him, so at least there’s that. Anyway, you simps and foxtrot sl*ts, have as much fun with this one as Your Hosts and Judges did! The Denise

You are cordially invited to the ballroom on Planet Mirrorballus for a luncheon with Your Hosts and Judges! Dining with us will be an unsurprising new suitor for Katy, a Mr. Waznawowski, and a trio of icons (two of them queens). The Lady Legwarmer will of course make drop in. Discussions will cover respectable topics like the definition of being out-danced and Grease. Please plan to stay for the WHOLE TIME. This cotillion will leave you saying bravo! Bravo! F’ing Bravo.

Here it is. The premiere of season 8 of Dancing with the Stars has arrived. The prelude to All-Stars is upon us! A well-danced and -produced premiere provides the fodder for surprises, excitement, judgement, betrayals, and so much more. Your Hosts and Judges want to talk about it all, so good luck following any sort of logic!

Keep this big wheel turning, and let Proud Mary keep on burning! For this finale of season 7 of Dancing with the Stars, as usual, it is time for a smack down and an inexplicable amount of RHOSLC references. An audibly exhausted Chris and an only initially calm Katy are once again on opposite sides and devolve into arguing, and it’s basically for no reason. Why are you gagging, they bring it to you every finale. Natalie Walker performs Lisa Barlow's hot mic monologue (NSFW):

The most exciting semi-final ever… is not this one! Despite this, Chris and Katy are here to excite with the most fabulous vision for Katy’s future hypothetical wedding in our penultimate episode about DWTS7. The final three is revealed to us and there shouldn’t be a shock who makes it on, but get ready for a shock about Dancing with the Stars’ 31st and 32nd seasons (which happened weeks ago already, oops)!

How to describe this one? 1, 2, 3- atrocious. The opposite of atrocious is, of course, Edyta. Praise for the Queen of Zoos, Lady Legwarmer, the Beautiful Swamp Witch, Our City Mouse abounds here because we are who we are. We’re here to give tips on the kicks, just like we always do. Even better than them, though- Jerry, Kenny, and Len are here to give the people what they need in a new edition of DanceCenter!!!!

Welcome back to the disco inferno, you… I’m thinking of a word, and while I can't think of it, I know it’s “*something* hoe”. As usual, it’s chaotic energy as Chris reveals far more personal information than intended and Katy sees red as echoes of her ballroom tragedies reverberate across seasons. And if you put money on an obscure NYC-only musical commercial from the 80s as this week's joke-to-be-turned-into-a-dead-horse, well, good news for you! Season 7 is continuing as normally as

Karma is a b*tch, folks, as is Chris’ computer. But you’d never tell that this was our longest recording session ever, plagued with technical difficulties! Unless you can tell where there’s missing audio, which, um, there definitely isn’t any. And if you’re wondering if Chris will ever record a pod in a house with three kids under 5 again, the answer is a resounding teeheehee.

Did you forget something? Yes: Cloris! And now that she’s been found, everyone is losing their minds, Chris and Katy included. Well, mostly Chris. His brain is off the rails. Katy is just leading him away from Diana the Musical and toward the star of DWTS, edition 7, Kim K! There may be a fight brewing about her, but at least there is one person they can agree upon- oh, Oprah!

The streak is over- DWTS 7! It’s week 7, or season 7 if you speak correctly, and that means “Does Katy Know These Celebrities?” returns, this time with added echo effect! More than usual, Katy either knows the people or makes good guesses. Or maybe it just feels that way and it's just as rough as usual. And the question is finally answered- how is Brooke Burke famous beyond being a future host of DWTS? Also, happy birthday, Chris!
