Alright Mary: All Things RuPaul's Drag Race
Colin Drucker & Johnny Also
Alright Mary is two parts Drag Race viewing party, one part queer studies lecture and a healthy dose of obscure pop culture references, all wrapped in a nuanced layer of dad jokes and pun-offs served weekly with a side of piping-hot tea.

Episode 101: Drag Race Season 10 – DragCon Panel Extravaganza
Proportionize, Mary! And productize! The queens are creating fantasy DragCon panels and learning what it really takes to pay your rent as a Ru girl. Monet and Eureka are something of a dream team, while Miz Cracker reads Blair to filth but forgets to read the room first. Meanwhile, Monique Heart is running away with this entire season and isn't getting nearly enough credit for it. We explore what Kameron's real backstory is, digest that air instrument incident that happened during the lip sync, and send Ms. St. Clair off with a thoroughly modern Last Chance Lip Sync.

Episode 100.5: NUANCE – Breaking the 4th Wall + Whimsically Volatile

Episode 100: Drag Race Season 10 – The Bossy Rossy Show
Geraldo oh no she betta don't, Mary! Donahue betta work! Dip into the cool waters of Ricki Lake! This week, the queens are guests on The Bossy Rossy Show, a Jerry Springer-like talk show with Ross Mathews behind an authentic pair of red Sally Jesse Raphael glasses and tackling the hard topics: Monet's addiction to eating hip pads, Blair and Monique's love triangle with a cactus, and some strange adult baby fetish play that gave Eureka her first win. Plus: Cracker dressed up like a pickle. We spend some time on Eureka and The Vixen's conflicting damage and their need to be heard, Ross's nuance, that air guitar incident that had happened, and also just queen out on hitting 100 episodes!

Episode 99.5: BONUS! – An Evening with Alexis Michelle!
We mention Alexis Michelle on this podcast so many times it's become a drinking game! So we couldn't be happier to sit down with the Broadway queen herself to catch up on life after Season 9, behind the scenes T, the nuances of reading, and what to expect from her new album "Lovefool."

Episode 99: HOT TAKE! Drag Race Season 10 – The Last Ball on Earth
It's the end of the world as we know it, Mary's, and the queens are going out in style. We not only get 33 runway looks for this season's ball challenge, but Asia O'Hara as the Mom of the workroom, Monet's history lesson, Ru in a turtleneck, and OH GOD THAT LIP SYNC. And then Untucked got real, and really tricky to talk about. (This is just a hot take, Mary's, in case you missed the multiple disclaimers.) We go in on the nuances of conflict and analyze our own gut reactions to what went down between Eureka and The Vixen.

Episode 98.5: NUANCE – The Optics of The Vixen vs. Aquaria
We go in deep on this week's episode of Untucked (surprise surprise), exploring this concept of The Optics, the roles each queen played in the conflict between The Vixen and Aquaria, and what it means to create a narrative. On a lighter note--we also talk about Dragula and Drag Race Thailand!

Episode 98: Drag Race Season 10 – Tap That App
Swipe right, Mary's! The queens are given the tall task of marketing three new dating apps that simply aren't a match. Asia O'Hara steals the show (and is starting to run away with the season) while Monique Heart expertly captains a sinking ship, due mostly to Mayhem lost at sea. But the real drama, as usual, is in the workroom, as a borrowed wig sets off one of the most interesting conflicts of the series. (We'll go deep on The Optics in Nuance.) We also discuss gays who believe in God, better app ideas, Birds of Drag Race the Sequel and death by air guitar.

Episode 97.5: NUANCE – Why You Need to See Todrick Hall’s “Forbidden”
On this week's Nuance, our thoughts on this week's Untucked, queening out on Monet X Change's "Street Beatz" videos, and some high praise for Todrick's new musical "Forbidden."

Episode 97: Drag Race Season 10 – PharmaRusical
The queens are pill-popping prescription peddlers in this week's lip sync musical. Kameron, Monet and Aquaria shine despite some strange staging (sorry Alyssa) and confusing costuming, but it was clear from early on that Kalorie and Eureka's thick and juicy tag team would be splitting up shortly. We discuss the many sides of The Vixen, our feelings on Andy Cohen, and of course, the Haunting of Miss Vanjie!
