Alright Mary: All Things Rupaul's Drag Race

Things get gross for this week’s filth-focused floor show. To the surprise of no one who watched the trailer, JayKay comes back just in time to chug sludge and win the opportunity to force Cynthia to do her makeup in a dirty Port-a-Potty. Speaking of which, we have a lot to say about Cynthia, from her bad mom vibes to her meth mom presentation. There’s something off about Onyx’s critiques, we kind of loved Anna’s bananas reveal and can agree that Throb was two scoops above the rest when it came to creating a Trash Can Kid. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re ending Alright Scary the way we started it, with another slick early 90s thriller delivering a TV movie story with a lobster dinner budget, a sweeping score by a legendary composer and a rising Hollywood star front and center of any promotional materials. 1993’s “The Good Son” is a chilly, unsettling turn in Macaulay Culkin’s career, but we’re more concerned with Wendy Crewson’s Susan, the Good Mom, caught between Henry the Bad Seed of coastal Maine and Mark who believes she’s the reincarnation of his dead mother. And let’s not even talk about Connie, but let’s definitely talk about the implications of that iconic cliffside climax. We also get those Culkins straight, sing the spoiler-free praises of “Orphan” and try to get to the bottom of this treehouse situation. Want even more Alright Mary?

Spooky season may be over but a new season of Dragula has just begun! The Boulets welcome an airport van full of new monsters over the river and through the woods to a snazzier, sleeker set with a lot more lights and a lot less spiders all over anyone's tits. We have some early favorites, from spooky kook Jarvis to cigarette mom Cynthia, a new rattle we’ll likely be repeating all season, a lot of trouble with the name Satanna and some very sharp words for a certain DVD cover.Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s an Alright Scary tradition to revisit the Scream franchise just in time for Halloween, and this year we’re Marying out on “Scream 3”! Despite a reputation for being a bit of a slump in the saga, we found a lot to appreciate—specifically Parker Posey. Neve’s back in her signature earth tones, Gail’s bangs have been slashed, Scott Foley inspires an important ranking of the Great Scotts of the era, and despite the lack of Kevin Williamson, the script has some surprisingly astute commentary about the dark underbelly of Hollywood (especially as a Miramax production).Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Scary makes a pit stop in Nilbog for 1990's cult classic,"Troll 2"! This is of course not actually a sequel to "Troll" and doesn't even necessarily feature trolls, but it does have a hot dad, a veritable Mary Tyrone of a mother, MAGA Holly, a sweaty camper full of dudes, a corny witch with dry lips, the absolute worst minivan in the world, lots of daytime horror, so much green frosting, and some Grandpa ex machina in the form of a double decker bologna sandwich.

This week, we're talkin' about the floor fillers challenge on Drag Race UK Season 5. We discuss why it was a blessing in disguise to have the queens self-select their groups, what we're still missing from these girl group challenges, and of course what we think Tomara Thomas loves.

We are finally navigating the Buffyverse for Alright Scary this week with the Season 4 episode “Hush”! It’s as much about fairy tale monsters stealing voices and hearts across Sunnydale as it is about Buffy confronting her intimacy issues, Willow navigating a sexual awakening, Anya learning the complexities of human relationships and how much of our civility is tied to our communication skills. But it’s also a genuinely scary episode and a great entry point if you want to dip your toes into this series or just queen out on Sarah Michelle Gellar for 44 minutes. Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Scary continues with the controversial (summer) camp classic from the slasher boom of the 80’s, “Sleepaway Camp”! This video store staple is best remembered for a twist ending that hasn’t aged well, but there’s so much to say about Aunt Martha, Ricky, Best Supporting Queen Judy, the unabashed sleaze and overt homoeroticism, that distinct Jersey vibes, the unfathomable hotness of Gene, Susie Snell, and how else to interpret what this movie could (hypothetically) be saying about Angela. Want even more Alright Mary?

We're covering Season 5 of Drag Race UK exclusively on Patreon! Here is a sneaky preview of what to expect as we get to know ten new queens off to the camptown races for badges, screentime, meme potential and maybe even a guest spot on a future season (hey Sminty!).

This week we discuss 1992's camp horror classic Bram Stoker's Dracula starring Gary Oldman as the highest drag queen in Transylvania opposite the everlasting 'Nona Rider. We praise the performances of Sadie Frost as the vixen Lucy and comment on the 90's aesthetic of showing gratuitous breasts. We go off about the costuming and the "naive" in camera effects and fantasize about the possibilities in Dracula 2000. Enjoy and happy October! Hope it doesn't suck! >:-E Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re kicking off Alright Scary with the mild, uncomplicated thrills of 1991’s “Sleeping With the Enemy.” Julia Roberts goes on a journey of identities, hairstyles and cross-country bus travel to escape from her abusive husband Patrick Bergin and start new life in Iowa and perhaps also in the hirsute arms of Kevin Anderson’s Ben, who will not stop jump-scaring her. Jerry Goldsmith’s score classes up the joint, and we have much to say about baths, carnival scenes, Nancy Fish on the bus, the cast of “Enough”, foyer finales and whether Laura/Sara could be arrested for faking her death. Want even more Alright Mary?

Alright Travis! This week something told us to not discount Miss Geist, and frankly, as if. We’re finally discussing Clueless! We have much to say about the queer and cringe of Christian, Dionne being the smartest person in the room, Best Supporting Brittany Murphy and the critical importance of Ambular, who would never wear something from Judy’s. The Cher and Josh love story may always feel like a bit of a Monet and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones may be a glaring reminder of the 90s ska craze, but this movie is an otherwise total Betty that we will certainly see again, and we hope not sporadically. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re kicking off back to school season with the ultimate day off in Chicago. While this movie is technically about Ferris, it’s really about Cameron, and of course Jeannie. To say nothing of the perils of Ed and Grace! And then there’s Mr. Bueller’s outings in that red Audi, Katie Bueller’s fashion choices, Best Supporting Simone, that girl from “Legend”, the well-endowed garage attendant, a Comeback cameo, a one scene Sheen, Nurse Florence, a potential future telenovela star, a gay maitre’d, and of course that girl on the bus with the hot gummy bears. In some ways, this movie is about everyone but Ferris. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re headed to Kellerman’s for three magical weeks of summer lovin’ in the dreamy arms of a significantly older man. There’s gonna be class struggle, queer subtext, abortion, watermelons, THAT SOUNDTRACK, Jerry Orbach’s eventually donated eyes, the grandma from Gilmore Girls, kid sister Lisa, fertile college boys with toxic hotness, a resident cougar and klepto old lady (who we'd play) and of course, Best Supporting Penny stealing the entire movie before she retired and married Richard Marx. Want even more Alright Mary?

The time has come…*thunder sound effect*...for us to talk about lip syncs that we love! And while we couldn’t possibly discuss them all in one episode, we’ve each chosen five potentially under-celebrated or overlooked Drag Race lip syncs that we think deserve a moment of appreciation and perhaps even a rewatch. Want even more Alright Mary?

We rollerbladed to the theaters this weekend to see “Barbie” (and “Oppenheimer”!) and we have much to Mary out about. Naturally we have a lot of formative memories of Barbie as a coveted childhood toy and, of course, Ken’s mound, but we also queen out on Weird Barbie, America Ferrera, the Ann Roth moment and Margot Robbie’s fantastic in plastic performance. We’re of varying opinions on Ken, but we can agree that it’s good to see Rhea Perlman. We also find time to discuss Ben Shapiro’s bear face, popcorn monsters and what Barbenheimer says about the state of America in 2023. Want even more Alright Mary?

Enough clowning around, it’s time to crown a winner this week! Besides the requisite Tic Tac lunches and choreography rehearsal, we get to see the 9 semi-finalists sit around and win money out of a pink box, RuPaul putting her back brace into it and some pretty stellar finale looks across the board. (Except for some questionable wrinkles and that little wig!) Lala’s impeccable experience this season comes to a famous conclusion before Jimbo and Kandy funk it up for shits and giggles one last time and the best of the breasts takes home over $260,000 in Canadian dollars. Want even more Alright Mary?

We may be a week away from what seems like an inevitable victory for this season’s frontrunner, but the real winner this season is Monica Beverly Hillz for not being a soaking clock. We spend like 20 minutes on her variety show performance alone and at least another 15 minutes on a tangent about Mom Rock and Teacher-as-Savior movies, but we also have much to say about how Jimbo would have won again this week, the power of the LaLa Ri Experience, Jaymes Mansfield finally having her moment and whether or not we should talk about “Bring it On” on this podcast. Want even more Alright Mary?

This season’s makeover challenge brings some much needed lesbians to the workroom and a much appreciated Priyanka at the 11th hour. Kandy bakes a perfect Kookie and gets the obviously inevitable honor of picking the very last lipstick. We cover just about everything this week, including the occasional mention of Johnny’s trip to Spain, but certainly stick around till the end for an impassioned look back at the cast of 2003’s “Mona Lisa Smile.” Want even more Alright Mary?
