Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race

This week, we erect a digital billboard celebrating the gay satire “Adam and Steve” from 2005. Throughout this movie, you get a healthy dose of why Parker Posey is the perfect indie film star, a choreographed line-dancing scene that’ll have you waving your color-coded bandana, Jackie Beat contributing in the lowest way possible, and a plot line that mocks gay men’s collective worst fear. This one had us boisterous and giggly, Mary!

We’re hitting the road with Ruby Red Ru and her angry small companion for the first three episodes of AJ and the Queen! We discuss Ru’s acting in and out of drag, Izzy G’s rage readings, the cavalcade of cameos from Ru girls, clunky lines, tone deaf blind jokes, chirpy music cues, Adrienne Barbeau, what happens at drag shows, and why you should keep watching.

It’s that time of year again, Mary’s! A new batch of queens have arrived for Season 12, and whatever Drag Race fatigue we were feeling disappeared through the gap in Heidi N Closet’s teeth. Once again, New York is heavily represented in the workroom, from the refreshing Brita to the batty Nicky Doll. But Missouri loves company, so we’ve got two queens representing the state this season, plus a San Francisco treat full of tricks, the Essence of Milwaukee, a bedroom queen from Georgia, a sinful sibling from Aja’s drag family, great drag from a Goode queen and the revelation that is Heidi.

The season 7 reunion/finale double feature is a great reminder that a lot of the season’s charisma was eliminated each week. The top 3 perform final lip syncs that are, well, FINE, Trixie tries her Ru impression out on Ru, Kennedy’s mom doesn’t do audience participation, Ginger has robot feet, Max gets one last drag, Kandy is candente, and Katya is the clear winner of the season. Season 7 has officially come through, and we’re so proud to see it, again.

And the rest drags on as the Top 4 performers act, dance, lunch, and bicker their way through the final challenge. Guest instructors Candis Cayne and Mathu Andersen are worn down by wig mishaps and flat line readings, Ginger backtracks and back combs like a true pageant girl, Kennedy trades pride for wrath in Untucked, Violet doesn’t like drag competitions and Pearl proves, despite her age, that she really does know how to condone herself.

Hello Kitty, Goodbye Katya. This week we’re revisiting one of the oddest balls in Drag Race herstory, the Sanrio-sponsored Hello Kitty Ball. Santino returns with his no drag knowledge mouth, Kennedy bows under pressure, Violet is giving us chastity cage realness, Pearl serves face on stage and faces in Untucked, Ginger Minj is on the fringe, and Capitalism conquers Communism with the fall of this season’s Siberian pizza queen.

The top six pair off in a trio of dancing duos, mashing up two genres and two genders for one just FINE episode. So fine we spent about twenty minutes discussing Oscar predictions. But it’s an interesting look back at baby Trixie, Untucked at its un-produced best, Alyssa Milano in diamond studded maternity wear, Ginger in her element in the lip sync and a rabbit hole fantasy of wartime era husbands in house dresses.

Happy New Year Mary! This week, we’re taking a holiday break for travel and posting a Free Skate Matreon Episode of our discussion of the 2005 Christmas movie, The Family Stone.

We’ve finally arrived at the John Waters musical spoof episode of season 7 and we couldn’t be more pleased. C’mon Dawn! Where’s your Christmas Spirit? Special shoutout to Katya as the Cowardly Lion having an identity crisis during untucked and that Mrs. Doubtfire reference when Miss Fame leaves to go to the bathroom. Was it truly Ginger’s challenge to win this week? We weigh in on who else could have reigned Divine this week.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyalso (Instagram) Colin: @colindrucker (Twitter) Web: www.tasteofreality.com/alright-mary/ www.alrightmary.com
