We're back for the Makeover Episode! This week the queens have to makeover four OFW women and bring them into their joint new houses (yes, it's also a teams challenge). Which team is in the top? Which team is in the bottom? and can we please get more Bevilicious D?!?!

Mabuhay! The remaining nine queens of Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale are tasked with creating a gag worthy musical parody of Crazy Rich Asians and then serve face face face beauty face on the runway with a Face-tival that leaves the bois screaming and fainting. This episode was recorded remotely and has special guest Daddy, Steven Pope!

This week it's the design challenge as the queens are asked to create fabulous outfits using local hand died cacao leaves. We talk fashion, chocolate, and who we were shocked to see in the bottom and top! Also find out which queen makes like cacao and leafs. Again Pope is sorry he could not be here, find out why in the episode which was also edited by the king of podcasting editing Nick Crawford. 

This week we're discussing A-Pop because it's the Girl Group challenge! We talk about the drama of the international group and the lack of drama with the all Filipino group. Did Khianna plan to have an all Filipino team? Was the right girl in the bottom 2? Was the runway really fishy? and did we find Pope yet? All of this and more will be discussed! 

This season we're headed to the Pearl of the Orient seas and covering Drag Race Philippians: Slaysian Royale. We also welcome our new co-host and technical advisor for the season Luigi Gonzalez (@_luigigonzalez)! In this we discuss the sickening crop of All star queens and the first challenge, the Miss Shutacca pageant. Who wins, who forgets herself during the Q&A, and which queen just really...

With one of the longest names in Drag Race history, we finally wrap up the tenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars with our remaining girls - and our bring-back Kerri Colby - tasked with lip syncing to the death (or at least the crown) in a seeded bracket! They found a theme and by god, they're gonna stick with it. Join Joe, Steve, and David as they go over the final episode of this momentous...

In the penultimate episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10, the remaining eight girls are tasked with performing their padded asses off in a variety show to show off talents, bitch tracks, saucy outfits, and possibly even their actual talent! Before that, Mistress Isabelle Brooks brings the capital-D (mm, love a capital d) DRAMA with a petulent attitude that has some of the bois wondering if th...

The girls are back for the semi-final round of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Tournament of All Stars! With nine queens remaining, it's time to seperate the wheat from the chaff with RuPaul's favorite challenge: The Snatch Game! Who will come out on top, and who will do so bad that they BLANK? Find out this and more in the newest episode of 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,...
