This Toxic Fandom

The bitch is back as the girls of the Purple bracket pair off (again?) to try to woo the heart of... Some guy none of the bois know but all find GORGEOUS. All this with Daya deciding that Alyssa is the worst person alive for not giving her a point, Cynthia wearing the worst thing ever worn on the Drag Race runway and yes I will stand by that statement fight me Christine, Ginger Minj continuing to...

This week on the pod we have extra special guest Kat Robichaud of Misfit Cabaret and The Voice Season 5. With her, Joe and David discuss the 8th episode of season 10 Stagecooch AKA the girl group challenge. Apparently Drag Race was just pandering to David as the mini challenge is based on Clueless, Orville Peck shows up, and the runway is Night of 1000 Mileys. How many Clueless references are made...

I was all prepared to go to Boston to get called a slur by Plane Jane but then it turned out to be an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 that was sponsored by the upcoming musical "Wicked: For Good!" This week we begin the Purple Bracket featuring some all time classic queens like Ginger Minj and Acid Betty as they prepare to enter the gauntlet that is the Tournament of Champions! W...

On a very special episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois go deep under cover as sex workers in 1990s New York City to help out the international superspy Starbooty! Okay, that's not true, but wouldn't it be wild if we did the whole episode like that? Anyway, the girls of the Pink bracket of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 are given a Rusical so Jorgeous can show off how good of a dancer they are,...

It's a new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, and it starts with an unintentional Mean Girls homage when the meanest girl in a one-inch heel decides to play dirty with her new lackey, causing every gay millennial to think "And none for Gretchen Wieners." Chapelle Roan shows up and blows us all away (or is it just a blow up doll?) and we have the six girls of the Pink bracket roast each ot...

We begin the Pink Bracket with six new all-star queens, including a girl who hasn't been on the show since Season 2 and a girl who was on a season that finished airing A MONTH AGO! Wild discrepancies in ages and seasons abound as the six girls of the Pink Bracket of RuPaul's All Stars Season 10 are tasked with making a complete garment out of eight randomly assigned items that would flummox a less...

The orange bracket queens of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 are asked to take some GORGEOUS basketball-playing divas and turn them into drag family in the final challenge of the orange bracket! David has fled to Canada, so Steven and Joe have decided to debate over who was the second-worst girl of the week because this episode is a pulse-pounding thrill-a-minute escapade through some great...

All Stars 10 continues with the second episode of the not-a-two-part-premiere-but-they-made-us-do-double-duty-anyway premiere, this time with an improv challenge for Team Orange as they have to deduce who the murderer on the dance floor is! Turns out, it's Michelle, but who cares, this is a glass eye, and I lost this eye to glaucoma! We're blind! But more importantly, find out what you call an all...

LET'S GET ALL STARTED! The bois are colorful, creative, and coocoo as they kick off a new season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars! As the Orange Team enters the work room, they discuss the growth of these queens, who they're rooting for, and most importantly, who will make it to the second round of the Tournament of Champions! Will a new format change bring out the best of a format that's been more...

Well, we've been dropped into a dunk tank, had our jokes stolen, held our lighters up in a jazz bar, saw a human tumbleweed, and learned never to trust thithers. We'd say we were big fans if we were all dressed as oscillating fans, but honestly, we've had a fun time with YOU, dear listener, as we've watched Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Now it's time to crown the winner and see who will take it...

The ten eliminated queens of Season 17 are back back back back again to battle it out for the title of She Done Already Done Had Herses, and while we're lacking a Megami to pray to or a shot of Morphine, these girls show their Butthole and prove whose King and give us a pretty good Toot while they're at it as they trick, dip, and flip their way to $50,000 in one of the most entertaining episodes o...

It's time to toot (or really boot) the Vegas strip as the girls "audition" for RuPaul's Drag Race Live! The bois discuss what makes a good season, their highlights of S17, what they expect from the Lalaparuza, and the most important question: Is Latrice good at interviewing, or is she just charismatic? Find out this burning question and more on this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

Not a dry eye in the house as the top 5 queens of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are asked to put their parents in drag! The bois of This Toxic Fandom talk about their own parents, the complicated relationships you can have with your adult child, how hard it is to be a queer child even with supportive parents, and some actually fun topics too such as fashion, how to be a proper clown, and LEGO! Join...

This week the queens have to showcase their minds, bodies, and souls as they write monologues and create interpretive dances for the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent Monologues. We have two hosts this week (David and Joe) who take a stab at writing each other's bios (a take on the mini challenge), talk about seeing Lexi Love at a viewing party (watching her watch the show was its own show),...

All these ducks but not one Mighty Ducks or Daffy Duck or Donald Duck reference to be seen? Despicable! While David's off doing dope shit Joe and Steven are left to discuss Ross Matthews Vs the Ducks, a parody sketch where the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 perform a parody of the limited series Capote vs The Swans. That's right, we have a character named Butthole, and we're going to teach...

Don't hate on us cause the episode is late, but we may let you roast us! This week we're covering the Haters Roast, where the queens have to roast 3 villains from Drag Race past (Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Plane Jane, and Kandy Muse). We also discuss if Jewels' order was fair, if Lexi's inner saboteur is getting the best of her, as well as Suzie Toot-y's fruity booty!    This episode was edited by...

Designer to the stars and dollmaker to the fabulous Astor Yang joins This Toxic Fandom as the bois discuss the pink, the powerful, and the split-tacular Betsey Johnson in one of the most fun and well thought-out design challenges in the show's history! The girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 are given three of Betsey Johnson's most iconic collections and told to reinvent them in their own image,...

In this latest recap of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, Steven has been kidnapped by Joe and forced to talk about A Chorus Line! I mean The Wiz. I mean The Wizard of Oz. I mean, Wicked? Eh, screw it, we'll just throw all of them in a blender and make a Rusical out of it! The remaining ten girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 show off their musical talents as they take on iconic Wizard of Oz charact...

Well it's the snatch game. Again. Will it ever be fun again? Survey says... Maybe! But at least we have fun talking about it and talking about it along with a hair-raising and nail-biting exciting runway! Also, wait, oh lord, it's our 100th episode! Come celebrate with us and download now!!!

Oh dear, did a wet ball drop? Sorry, that joke was disgusting, but you know what's not disgusting? 36 sickening looks based on the 70% of the earth we can't live in! The girls of season 17 are tasked with making outfits out of sea trash, while also showing off a bathing beauty look AND a look inspired by marine life! And not a mermaid to be seen. Tragic, really. Meanwhile the boys talk about how t...

Because we never learn from our mistakes, we're doing RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE LIVE! But not really, because that would be gonzo. Yes it's the return of everyone's one-take-sketch-comedy show and we have notes upon notes to share before we get tickled pink on the runway! As the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 argue and fight over what's "good drag," we can't help but wonder - Has anyone ever taken...

It's a new day, and after the first elimination, the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are in their feelings, but so are the bois as they talk about Drag Race Alumni's OnlyFans, the rise and fall of J-O-E and don't forget the ELLA, and how we've already seen several girls pull ahead despite only having two real competitive episodes! Seriously, for an episode the bois aren't too fond of, they f...

This episode we bid farewell to season 5 of Canada! We get tea from a listener, Pope's hot take from the bathroom (He was sick and couldn't make it), crown a winner, hear who Joe wanted to get the crown, and celebrate David's Birthday. Oh, David also annoys Joe with how much he wants to just talk about his love Orville Peck

Fun fact, Steven misread this title as "menopause" and was very confused. Anyway! It's a new day in the Werk Room as the girls are given money honey and then asked to make outfits based on everyone's least favorite board game that we all have a copy of anyway, Monopoly! Will Steven keep the boardgamery in his pants? Will the girls serve the looks or end up not passing go and going straight to Jail...

The top 5 girls are brought together to... Be interviewed by Brad Goreski? It's a weird one, folks, but it's Canada's Drag Race and we're almost at the finish line! We talk about Wicked, Munchkins, Canadians, Anita Bryant finally doing something good with her life by dying, and how if you squint really hard in some parts of the podcast you might see Steven hanging around. Will these jokes make sen...
