Spoilers ahead, Mary! The Dragula Season 3 supermonster was crowned and we have celebratory thoughts. It’s good to be king! Landon Cider landed in the top as Season 3’s official supermonster. (In the words of another supermonster, we’re so proud to see it!) Dollya delivered impeccable glamour and THAT SKIN DRESS and Priscilla made us sick with filth, but Landon downright deconstructed a queer classic (and its heroine!) with his horror floor show, and continued to be an inspiration in the boudoir...

It’s a Toot or Boot Sale in the workroom this week as the Top 8 try to style trash with panache. The Vivienne fast forwards with another blockbuster of a look, Baga gives us a sack’a scrubbers, Vinegar goes out of print, Cheryl (Chaz!) gets fingered for her fashion, and Davina assembles an ingenious idea out of IKEA. Sum Ting’s look wasn’t that wrong, but her lip sync was just right. Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @alrightmary Johnny: @johnnyals...

The Hell Mouth is coming to a close, but before it does, we have one last supper (or drink in this case) with our dearly beloved Dragula monsters. We discuss Landon’s energy, Dollya’s maturity, Hallow’s meme being, and Louisianna’s precision. The second half of the episode we provide a post mortem going back through our favorite looks, challenges, and quotes of the season and even throw in a real throw back to a questionable Alright Mary segment. Who will win this season, Mary? Let us know your ...

And the BAFTA goes to…well, maybe no one in this week’s Downton Abbey inspired acting challenge, but Baga Chipz certainly did MUCH BETTER than some of her fellow queens. The Vivienne continues to be the doyenne of the workroom, Divina’s divinely inspiring and just doesn’t see it yet, Sum Ting Wong does some things very right this week, at least in talking about her coming out story, and Scaredy Kat is sent off to the pound, though we suspect nine lives on that one… Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrig...

We may be saying “Boo!” to this week’s elimination, but we are two pleased pumpkins to have Brooklyn drag king GOD COMPLEX on the podcast to discuss the Top 4 of Season 3 of Dragula! We cover the nuances of God’s drag, expectations put on drag kings and even share some tips for tipping! We also king and queen out on what each of our final 4 monsters brought to the competition and why Landon’s got this one in the bag.

The premiere of Drag Race UK is serving British royalty realness this week! Our ten new heirs to the throne are giving us hometown glory and Buckingham Palace monarchy with two looks on the runway. Crystal pounds the stage and earns some coin, Sum Ting Wong stamps to the top, The Vivienne reaches great heights despite the flats, and Cheryl Hole needs a handbag. It’s a bitter start for Vinegar, Gothy’s breathy roaring barely makes a peep and Scaredy Kat has really got her dander up. Michelle pick...

Look at all the freaks! This week our monsters compete to be the main attraction at the Freak Show and Louisianna emerges as a real staple of the season by facing her fears all on one leg. We applaud Dollya’s decision to defend her drag, question Priscilla’s penchant for putdowns that pummel too hard, and analyze Evah’s self-destruction that has been tapping at her all season. Colin tortures Johnny with blueberries, Johnny campaigns for Miss Nelson’s drag persona, and a top three prediction rear...

Jan Sport joins us this week to Mary out on the monsters, celebrate being a reference queen and talk about what’s next for Stephanie’s Child! The six uglies left standing are serving medical mystery realness for a haunted hospital photo shoot. The conversations in the boudoir are the real highlight, though—both Landon’s defense of Hollow and Louisianna’s revisiting of her roots. This season has veered straight into kind media territory, and it makes our black little hearts skip a beat. Jan Sport...

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. Follow as we deep dive into RuPaul’s Drag Race, the world of Drag Race and the paradigm that RuPaul has created with this little (bidi-bidi) TV show.

Reduce, reuse, revolt! The monsters are turning trash into fashion this week and making magic happen with markers for makeup. Priscilla has a moment interrupted by Hollow having a moment before rising to the top of the trash heap in the floor show (and interview with Season 2 pizza queen/calzone queen Disasterina!) But the real drama was what we didn’t see re: Hollow’s censored look and subsequent meltdown, bringing up a lot of questions around what’s allowed on TV and what is an apparent nightm...

The monsters are playing Dungeons & Drag Queens in this week’s acting challenge! (Cue the dramatic drone footage of the set.) Maddelyn goes mad for the sake of good TV, Hollow incites Babygate, Dollya parents her grandmother, Maxi Glamour serves Masky Glamour, Evah discusses her reconstruction, and Israel comes in. Whatever. We Mary out on Priscilla’s tanktop and put on a riveting two-hander about two-handers. Not that we’re conservatory trained or anything. Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightm...

We were just gooped to chat with the iconic Simon Doonan about his new book “DRAG: The Complete Story,” some of the amazing drag icons he discusses in the book, his own experience in drag, the evolution of comedy drag, why now is a good time to be a drag king and of course, the use of the nickname “Mary” in gay generations past and present!

Rock out with your emotional honesty out! The nine remaining Uglies break off into bands for Dragula's staple of a rock challenge this week, but we waste no time celebrating the Big Mom and Big Aunt energy backstage from Louisianna and Hollow. Was this week's elimination a bit of rigor morris? Also, what makes "good bad drag" good? Plus: a PSA on tucking from Landon, some viewing party T from Maddelyn, and even more quotable MOMENTS from Hollow... Patreon: www.patreon.com/alrightmary Email: alri...

While the claws aren't out yet this season yet, the fangs are this week as the ten remaining monsters transform into Vampire Queens. Ironically, the king of the room rules this challenge, but Hollow's confidence and worm reveals also take a bite out of the challenge. Our hearts are still with Louisianna, though, and especially with that Jean Rollin-inspired illusion, to say nothing of the mustard wrap...

We are back in the boudoir with 11 new uglies for Season 3 of Dragula! We’re here for Louisiana’s Big Mom Energy, Hollow’s penchant for catchphrases, Dollya’s makeup tricks and Evah’s jawline.

If you're looking for a wonderful way to end a televised drag competition, look no further. This season 2 finale really stepped it up in terms of production, emotion, and drama. The three finalists gooped, gagged, and utterly broke us down with their talent. We can't believe it's over... but we're happy we watched this *after* watching RuPaul's Drag Race season 11 finale. There was so much more heart and artistry showcased! Well... only one thing left to say, Mary: Andele. Patreon: www.patreon.c...

It's been a stampede of queens this season, but only five remain to deliver white elephant eleganza--and of course, produce their own verses for a music video. But luckily, that means we get studio time with p'Gene and some vogueing 101 with p'Debbie! Frontrunner and Alright Mary favorite Angele Anang veers into Silky territory in the final lip sync, but is still the queen to beat against superstar returning contestants Kana and Kandy. We then catch up with the entire cast (except M Stranger Fox...

This week, we get to know the queens through their loved ones eyes! We celebrate the relationship between Bandit and his mom, Kandy and hers, and Kana and his little sister. Johnny gets emotional over the lip-sync song and Colin connects mostly with those elders in the mini-challenge. Also- Art is double booked this week on the runway so we're left with the Pangina as the baby-sitter home from college for the summer. This was a good one. Only one more challenge before the reunion, Mary! Patreon:...

The top five are serving us the courage to be someone else in the main challenge: Snatch Game of Love! Deja Vu, right Mary? Vanda gives us a horny Cardi B, Srimala slays us with her quirky old lady drag, Bandit is perfection in yellow, and Tormai wins our hearts with a helicopter and a water gun. The real drama happens on the runway when Angele shows us the creation of her body and Vanda struggles to reveal herself and the judges are left... Hungry. The real gag is when Johnny finds out his favo...

*Spoiler Warning: this interview may contain spoilers for Drag Race Thailand Season 2* Make a wish, Mary! This week, we get to talk with DRTs2 queen Genie who graciously offers up her journey to the Drag Race Thailand stage, behind-the-scenes logistics, and some wonderful perspectives on drag. She delights us with her humor, her music choices, and her insights. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Did we miss any questions you might have had? Do you have a wish? Reach out to Genie!

It's dinner and a show this week with the Top 6 whipping up delicious designs inspired by classic Thai cuisine. We also get a pretty extensive crash course in cooking from the dreamy Chef Fang, which sends us on a long tangent about desirability politics and sexual preferences. Angele Anang serves up an amazing green curry (and interesting makeup choices), Bandit breaks her yolk but not her safe streak, Smirala is a good egg, Vanda should have ordered out, Genie's an acquired taste, and while To...

Ironically, on the "power of speech" episode, we had a slight technical difficulty and Colin's mic crapped out 22 minutes in, but that didn't stop us from queening out on the Top 8's talk show circuit, Bandit's mature wisdom in the workroom, and Genie, Tormai and Vanda's powerful speeches on the runway. But of course, the biggest goop of the episode was the rigor morris called out at the 11th hour by Mocha. Pangina came painted to read this week and delivered the toughest love we've seen from he...

This week we get a recycled mini challenge, a Rigor Morris suspicious Maxi Challenge outcome (rare for DR Thailand), and Pagina Heals as Mariah Carey! On the runway, the queens have to serve two looks (again!) and we can't help but chant along with a past Pangina: don't be pretty, don't be pretty, don't be pretty, don't be pretty!
