Alright Mary: All Things Rupaul's Drag Race

In this week's Nuance, we take a deeper dive into who we think Kameron Michaels really is, explore how Eureka's size might influence people's opinions of her and try to decode Aquaria.

Wagon Wheel Watusi, Mary! The queens are channeling their inner Chad Michaels to bring us Cher through the ages in this season's live singing Rusical. But first, we queen OUT on Asia's chat with The Vixen in the workroom. We also discuss Aquaria's long con, who really should have won this week and disagree on the amazingness of that lip sync. Plus: Mario Kart strategies, Billy Eichner fantasies and the nuances of air instruments done right (if that's possible).

In this week's Nuance, we discuss the post-Snatch Game Untucked--specifically The Vixen and the subtext of her anger. Get in touch, Mary! Twitter: @alrightmary Email: alrightmarypodcast@gmail.com Patreon: patreon.com/alrightmary www.alrightmary.com

Well blank me silly, Mary--it's Snatch Game! The top 7 have made it to the heart of the season--and for the Heart of the Season, it's the end of a tough road. (But nevertheless, she wiggled!) We celebrate Monique Heart a little more before turning our attention to this season's panel of celebrity guests. Aquaria's Melania was surprisingly nuanced, while Asia's Beyonce was more Mommie Dearest than Sasha Fierce, with her sights set on The Vixen's not fully realized Blue Ivy. But the real drama is on the runway when Ru stokes the fire by asking who should go home this week... Get in touch, Mary!

In this week's Nuance, we talk about the importance of Blair St. Clair telling her story and our thoughts on trauma healing and the effects of abuse in the queer community. We also spend a few minutes on what's been going on with Tyra Sanchez and give some more love to "Whimsically Volatile."

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.

This week on NUANCE, we discuss a new appreciation for Miz Cracker, we spend only like a few minutes on the whole Robbie Turner thing, talk about Instagram thirst trapping. and give our thoughts on the recent episodes of Katya's podcast.

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!

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."

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.

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!

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.

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."

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!

In this week's Nuance, we discuss Dela's open letter to toxic Drag Race fans, and explain how that interview with Trixie happened!

Remember All Stars 3, Mary? Me neither! Season 10 wasted no time gabbing our undivided attention and erasing any woes about where the series is going. The queens this season are not only ready to compete, they are ready to be good on TV. (Monique Heart, where have you been all our lives?) We get a welcomed throwback to Drag on a Dime, focusing more on the artistry of drag--but adding a little lukewarm drama with this emerging Cracquaria feud. (Alyssa vs Coco, this is not.) We come to Dusty's defense, are over the moon for Monet, and it bears repeating, in love with Monique Heart. Kalorie killed in the lip sync, but we're left wanting more of those cookies from Miss Vanjie...(Miss Vanjie...Miss...Vanjie....)

On a snowy spring night in New York, we sat down with the freshly crowned Trixie Mattel to talk All Stars 3, her new album "One Stone"(now available on iTunes *wink*), The Trixie & Katya Show and our hot takes on Season 10. I'm writing this episode description waiting for the "JK," but there was no JK, Kimora. This really happened and it was amazing.

People are already ranking All Stars 3 as one of the worst of the franchise--are they just in their feelings for a few days or did this season really misstep somewhere? We try to figure out what might have gone wrong, and more so, what nerves were hit. (And why it's not that bad, Mary!) Plus, straight men who watch Drag Race, some new Matreon requests, and the conclusion of this season's Morality Tale!

All of Shangela's Game of Thrones references were terribly prophetic this week; much like many of the queens fighting for the throne, things took an unexpected twist for our professional comeback kid, landing her in ostensibly third place of a competition she was killing from the start. We spend quite a bit of time discussing how it all went down and what the response has been, highlights from the music video, and of course, all the nuance of that final lipsync...

Click-clack those ruby slippers, Mary--we're going to Oz! As a special bonus episode for all our Mary's this week, we're looking back at a little known movie called "The Wizard of Oz." And as a couple of veritable Friends of Dorothy, we queened out on the gay archetypes represented in the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, the power of Dorothy Gale and what home really means. Keen to get more bonus episodes like this in your life? We're putting them out every week for our Matreons--just ease on down to patreon.com/alrightmary for all the details!
