In this fashion-forward episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois get really into the history of Moschino (and David's personal history with Jeremy Scott), talk about some great runways, and try to keep morale up as we dig into the darkest part of the RuPaul's Drag Race lore: RuPaul's music career. Nah, we're mostly joking - The girls make outfits based on those songs you hear when they walk the runway, and they're really great! Well, most of them are.

2024/06/25

The bois huddle together in the nonbinary bathroom (aka all of them you weirdos) and talk about the latest acting challenge from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars while also ignoring the horrible fact that this is the second bathroom episode in as many seasons. Once is an accident, twice is a hobby, y'know? Anyway they talk about Showgirls, acting, putting the wrong EMPHASIS on WORDS for humor, and the fact that Steven needs to learn to buy more shoes like he's a dictatorship in the 80s or something

You'd think with a name like that they'd get the Property Brothers as guest stars. One of them is gay, right? Anyway, this week, the queens have to sell houses in mythical, made-up places such as Florida (RIP Uncle Raydell) and Texas. Then they have to take the runway in a day-to-night Ruveal that reminded this ol' bitch about the Barbie Doll who could do that.

The bois are back to where it all began with an EXTRA chaotic episode to start of Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars!

We're not doing a music video?! My brain! It's on fire! As is Nymphia's pussy! As the top four girls go from relaxed and celebratory to panicked and hilarious, they're forced to dive deep into the murky waters of RuPaul's kiddy pool for an underwater lipsynch of silliness, and then they have to dig deep into their own personalities and souls and get really real as they make their own memoirs! Proving that you can recycle from even your own season and make something great, how will the bois handle

What do you mean this episode came late?! It wasn't like Steven was just really busy and left the other bois to figure out how to podcast without him! Then again, they're so cute and charming in this episode it's hard not to enjoy it. Oh dear, is Steven paying them compliments in the copy? Yes, but they never read this so it's okay. This week the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race have to decorate bathrooms and see if they can spill more tea. Or share actual traumatic moments. I'm still not over that, are

2024/03/18

Hi, welcome to This Toxic Fandom's TED Talk on how to be a fandom and only be moderately toxic. The bois this week get corporate and discuss the nuances of celebrating a month in a week, the longing for forbidden fried chicken, the trouble with confused editing, and how some people come out emotionally and other people come out with a powerpoint like they're Debbie from the Addam's Family or something. The girls this week have to give a presentation on Drag in the office and then walk the runway in

2024/03/11

The campaign trail is a bumpy one as the bois have to watch the first less-than-good episode of this season of RuPaul's Drag Race! With a lack of elimination, an episode title that leaves them scratching their head, and a complete lack of a message, will the Bois find something worth talking about, or will they wander around the wastelands looking for anything else to talk about? I think we both know the answer, dear listener, but the bois bring the energy and try to bring the funk (with a side of

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!
