And a Rewatch Podcast

Chels (@Chels725), Paige (@paigenkiser), and Jesse (@speakupjesse) are joined by their friends Spooky Queen Sharai Bohannon (@misssharai) to cover this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

This week, the queens are interviewing chaotic guests Charo, Love Connie, and Frankie Grande and barely survive. From Fast and the Furious-style golf carts to cooking segments and Barbara Walters-esque interviews, find out who shines and who crashes. 

Over on the runway, it's a Night of a Thousand Beyoncés and some queens missed the memo.  Plus, TS Madison returns to the judges' table and gives some incredible advice to our queens in Untucked.

It's time for a grift... or is it? We're covering "Grifting 101" this week!

Jenn's got Emmy-nominated writer Alrinthea Carter (@alrinthea) back to the pod to talk about grifting movies (and heist movies), the fantastic Matt Berry, an insecure Jeff, and whether or not this episode benefitted from Yahoo! Screen's longer runtime.

Enjoy, everyone!

Chels (@Chels725),  Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Paige (@paigenkiser) are joined by Eoin Daly (@EoinDaily) to cover last week's RuPaul's Drag Race.

It's the 200th episode and our queens are tasked with a Crystal Ball where they have to showcase three different looks, including one crystal themed look they create in a day. They have to start their engines and honor RuPaul's famous opening credits and pay homage to their favorite balls from the past. Who surprises us with their skills and who falters? Plus, special guest judge Julia Garner visits the queens and we actually get a mini-challenge!

This week, it's family only and the queens are faced with a good ol' fashion lip-sync LaLaPaRUza smackdown. In this stripped-down competition, queens pick their opponent and songs as they face off in a sudden death elimination. And it wouldn't be Drag Race without a few twists! Who destroys the competition, who skates by, and what felt the most produced?

This week, the queens are tasked with returning to season 14's The Daytona Winds, this time as a sitcom!

Was it a mistake or will the two queens shine? Plus, the handsome Harvey Guillén joins our judges panel for the "Puffer Please" runway. Which queens did their homework and which queens came up short?

Jenn's back at Greendale this week to unpack the quiet, unsuspecting 100th episode of Community: "Basic Crisis Room Decorum"!

She's joined by her friend Deb (@wordybee) as they recount what it was like to tag-team writing reviews of Community's sixth season. Since this was Deb's episode to review back in the day, they talk about the choice to center the show's 100th episode around a Jeff/Annie/Frankie conflict, hope, Elroy/Britta's brief scenes, and what in the world the show's doing with Chang.

Enjoy!

Chels (@chels725),  Jesse (@speakupjesse) & Paige (@paigenkiser) are joined by their friend Megan (@MissMeganMann) to cover this week's Drag Race.

Faced with their first design challenge, the queens are divided into three houses (Visage, Kressley, and Matthews) and must create distinct but cohesive looks within their groups from unconventional materials. Who can sew,  who is is thrifty with a glue, and who is holding on by a safety pin? We will find out!

Elsewhere at the judges' table, singer and Glass Onion star Janelle Monáe joins the  panel and is gooped and gagged by the looks, and the first great lip sync of the season happens.

It’s Snatch Game time! Chels (@chels725), Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Paige (@paigenkiser) are joined by Spooky Queen Sharai Bohannon (@misssharai) to cover this episode of Drag Race. 

The queens have a lot to prove following the season 14 disaster. Split into two groups, they play Snatch Game with the pit crew as guest judges... with muted to terrible results. Elsewhere, the spectacular Amandla Stenberg graced us with her presence as a runway judge in a Sharai-approved "beautiful nightmare" runway theme. Did the queens live up to our Spooky Queen’s standards or is it back to Camp Crystal Lake for them? Plus, the lip sync we’ve been waiting for since they announced the cast.

It’s a soap opera takeover as Chels (@chels725) and Jesse (@speakupjesse) cover this week's Drag Race. 

The queens are tasked with creating commercials for the queer afterlife and tensions arise when the teams are picked and the queens are forced to work together. Who brought the jokes and who won’t make it to air? Plus, special guest judge Maren Morris visits the queens, and new rotating judge TS Madison makes her debut and steals our hearts!
