Alright Mary: All Things Rupaul's Drag Race

Heaven's a place on earth this week as 15 queens try to sell us on their version of the afterlife. To be honest, most of them needed a bit of divine intervention, though we can agree that God is good, either as a Dolly or a Colby. With just 43 minutes on the clock, we don't get a mini challenge, judges' deliberations or Aura Mayari this episode, but we do get a heavy metal runway, two little white girls lip syncing to Diana Ross and the end of Princess Poppy's brief reign.

Nuance, the Alright Mary aftershow, is back for another season! We're kicking this week off on the main feed, but will be Patreon only after this!We get our feelings out this week on "The Real Friends of WeHo" and why we might still watch it, and reminisce again about the bizarrely fascinating social experiment gone wrong, Vanjie's 24 Hours of Love. We also take a walk down memory runway of some classic seasons of "Project Runway" so get ready to hear some thoughts on Angela Keslar and her poor mom. Plus: the state of RuPaul's Best Friend Race in 2023 and real early predictions for the finale of Season 15.Season 15 Bingo Board! Want even more Alright Mary?

It's been a long two weeks, but we finally have a new season of Drag Race! Season 15 has a record 16 contestants and is shaping up to be TikTok Queens vs. IRL Queens. And then of course, there's SASHA COLBY! This episode may stick to some familiar mini challenges and the tried and true talent show, but there's a slick MTV finish on it all, to say nothing of this charismatic pack of competitors, that has us excited. (Even if most of them lip synced to their own hype track.) And while it took no less than a solid 120 minutes before the first elimination this week, that's nothing compared to last season.

Peter's return to Neverland in Steven Spielberg's "Hook" takes us on a number of tangents and deep dives and rabbit holes, because Mary..."Hook" is so gay. From Peter Pan Syndrome to the chosen family of Lost Boys to the high diva performance of Dustin Hoffman, we have much to discuss this week. To say nothing of the dreamy Bob Hoskins, Rufio the mean gay, Tinkerbell the fairy chaser, Maggie Smith doing that old lady thing, some requisite daddy issues, and what it means for gay men to go to Neverland today. Plus: we make a very important Jennifer Esposito related decision!Want even more Alright Mary?

This season came in like a lion and went out like a mysterious budget cut with a final floorshow that was unfortunately overshadowed by a picture at the final moments that spoke a thousand words. Or actually, spoke no words, because we have no idea why the season ended on a Jpeg and a tour promo. Regardless, congratulations to Victoria Elizabeth Black for the more than deserved title of Titan!Want even more Alright Mary?

Icons celebrate icons this week as the top 5 Titans bring their horror idols to life for the semifinal floorshow. To no one's surprise, Victoria takes us to Universal Studios but Hoso climbed out of that TV and under our skin. Koco serves Boulet Stepbrother, Evah's spaceship doesn't quite land and Astrud's hunt for a win this season leaves her neon Predator empty handed. While the Top 3 may have been no huge surprise, our bigger question is whether or not the other queens actually get to go on the tour. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week the monsters get their deepest and bluest for a sea monster floorshow. Evah’s tendency towards the dramatic works in her favor this week, but Melissa Be Over It and raises hell in the cauldron before melting down in the hallway.

The Love Triangle of Terror has been disbanded but the tension looms in the boudoir, so it's the perfect week for the Top 6 to be wrestling each other. (Even if it is all highly choreographed thanks to Best Supporting Emmy.) We're of course coo-coo for Koco's puffs this week, as well as Vicky's resemblance to a certain Oscar winning actress. Evah gives us some intense orgy ensemble acting, Melissa Be Nuanced in the confessional, guest judge Katya goes hog on Astrud's shoes and the bottom two know who they are and they're not done showing it, alright Mary?

The zombie prom themed floorshow this week is befitting of an episode rife with high school drama. The love triangle of terror continues to dominate the conversation, and our only hope is Koco Caine. We have much to say about eating brains, titty babies, Victoria as a future judge, our feelings for the Boulets, and our predictions for the finale. Want even more Alright Mary?

This week's Dungeons and Dragons inspired acting challenge sends the monsters on location, or at least out of the boudoir, to be elves and gnomes and barbarians, oh my. This naturally led us to some tangents on Medieval Times and the perils of Shakespearean comedy. Astrud geeks out, Abhora eases up, Evah has a moment and Hoso gets a bump on the head. Koco continues to steal the show, but finally earns a win for it, while Melissa excels as the head camp counselor, Vicky looks like Glenn Close and Erika is freed from the miserable time she's been having here.

It's sci-fi in the floorshow but a soap opera in the boudoir this week as the Ab-Hoso-strid love triangle dominates the conversation. Evah continues her run as camp counselor, Melissa be emotional in the cauldron and Koco always tells us the truth, when she's not busy making a gun in three hours. Kendra nearly saves herself with phone acting this week, Erika serves Suspiria red and a drop crotch, and Vicky is the Thing that Ate this Competition. Want even more Alright Mary?

in the words of Rosemary Woodhouse, all of them witches! And we do mean all of them, as Abhora saunters back into the competition and the love triangle of the season rears its pointy head again. The monsters are bringing their witchiest looks to the floorshow this week and the head of your high school drama club is here to judge. The curse of baldness and Votegate from last week fail to launch any new drama before the masked monster of the North is flushed into the afterworld. Want even more Alright Mary?

We're going towards the light, Mary! "Poltergeist" may not be the scariest movie on our shelves, but it is the one that features an Oscar worthy JoBeth Williams as an unstoppable Final Mom, Craig T. Nelson giving his hottest suburban dad, an amazing Jerry Goldsmith score, the legendary Beatrice Straight, some beautiful dog acting, an in over her head Tangina, and some brilliant commentary on the perils of the American dream.

We're back in the budoir with 10 familiar faces from seasons past for an all-star season of Dragula Titans! This supersized episode had supersized personal drama, including a love triangle, resentments harbored from exterminations past, and one monster's striking resemblance to a toilet bowl. About an hour in, we get to the challenge itself, before things quickly go the way of a Real Housewives reunion and end with a Double Dare style trap door elimination. Want even more Alright Mary?

Not to be confused with Penny Marshall in "The Looker," this week we're discussing Ryan Murphy's loosely inspired by true events miniseries "The Watcher." We love the New Jersey of it all, how much fun Margo Martindale is having and the extent to which Mia Farrow and Noma Dumezweni got the assignment. We could (and do!) go on all day about our love for Bobby Cannavale and his bedroom furniture. But seven episodes of red herrings that were all more interesting than the truth? And who exactly killed the ferret? Plus, our thoughts on and then impressions of Jennifer Coolidge, how we would have liked to see this all have gone, and the varied success of past Ryan Murphy productions.

We’re broing out this week on the movie “Bros”! While much has been said about its box office numbers or its production credentials, we have a lot more to say about what it did or didn’t achieve as an occasionally satirical but definitively gay take on the romcom. Plus even more to say about the experiences from our own lives it touched upon (and just some semi-related tangents that are at least really gay.)Want even more Alright Mary?
