The boiz dip into the waters of Darienne Lake, discuss one of the worst musical challenges the franchise has ever had, and try to talk about sixty different looks without going cross-eyed! Will they make it out alive? Will they ever learn what was on the back of Naysha Lopez's prison jumpsuit?! Oh, it said "beauty?" Okay, werk. Well, there's still plenty more to discuss and they are going to do their due diligence as the toxic fans! | |||

08 Apr 2024 | Episode 45 - Booked & Blessed (RPDR S16, EP 14) | 01:20:54 | |
We're not doing a music video?! My brain! It's on fire! As is Nymphia's pussy! As the top four girls go from relaxed and celebratory to panicked and hilarious, they're forced to dive deep into the murky waters of RuPaul's kiddy pool for an underwater lipsynch of silliness, and then they have to dig deep into their own personalities and souls and get really real as they make their own memoirs! Proving that you can recycle from even your own season and make something great, how will the bois handle this shocking and literary twist because reading is WHAT?! Hard! Join us as we dive into RuPaul's Drag Race Season 16 and get illiterate on the runway!

23 Oct 2023 | Episode 24 - Disaster Class (DRUK5, EP 4) | 01:32:42 | |
The girls are tasked with creating a comedic take on master classes based on working, partying, and love! But how can they do that if you don't give them suits, RuPaul?! The bois cover this and more while being sleep-deprived and talking about the majestic land of Northern California, where they can't pronounce "lachaim," and also join in on making fun of Posh Spice because that's the theme of the season! We're so tired, y'all. Do us a favor and give us a five-star review for the monumental effort of doing a podcast about possibly the best season of Drag Race we've had in a minute!

04 Sep 2023 | Episode 18 - Drag Brunch (DRDU S3, EP 6) | 01:53:20 | |
Whether way your toilet flushes, one thing unites all humans: The desire, and the love, of brunch! And no one does brunch better than drag queens who are guaranteed to take advantage of bottomless mimosas! So, of course, that means the black sheep of the Drag Race franchise uses it as an excuse for a talent show that gives the bois a bit of agita. Questionable judging, insane outfits, FINALLY learning the story of BMX Bandits (maybe?) and more await you in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, where they watch RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, Season 3, Episode 6: Drag Brunch!

22 Aug 2024 | Episode 65 - Snatch Game: The Rusical (CvtW S2 EP 5) | 01:12:55 | |
Leave it to the Canadians to look at two of the hardest challenges that queens do every season and go "Hey, what if we combined the two?" While we experience some technical difficulties, the bois go into what makes a good and a bad choice, what is so damn funny about saying Cheryl like she bit your finger in an aughts viral video, and why Joe is wrong about How Far I Go not being a good lipsynch song YES JOE I CONTINUE TO CALL YOU OUT HERE IN THE COPY! Want context for this nonsense? Give it a listen now! Check us out on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@thistoxicfandom and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thistoxicfandom/ | |||

Well chickens, we've made it to the end of another season! This week we talk about who was crowned, the final challenge, some tic-tac lunches, and whether or not we agree with the crowned queen (spoiler alert: it's nuanced). Graba cuppa tea and enjoy this finale before we officially head true north and strong to Drag Race Canada. | |||
12 Jun 2023 | Episode 6 - JOAN: The Unauthorized Rusical (AS8, EP 6) | 01:52:02 | |
This episode contains spoilers for episode six of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8, JOAN: The Unauthorized Ruscial.
Gays into musical theatre?! Groundbreaking. In this energetic episode, the bois dive into choir performances of years gone by, the fact that Steven doesn't know musicals all that much, and that Joe is maybe a tenor. Maybe? Who knows! But we know this was the best episode of the season, and there is a lot to say about it, including us gushing about Grace Jones! Join us (or maybe Joan us) in this extra-large episode of This Toxic Fandom because it may not be perfect, but it's perfect for you! | |||
10 Jun 2024 | Episode 52 - Property Queens (AS9, EP 5) | 01:30:44 | |
You'd think with a name like that they'd get the Property Brothers as guest stars. One of them is gay, right? Anyway, this week, the queens have to sell houses in mythical, made-up places such as Florida (RIP Uncle Raydell) and Texas. Then they have to take the runway in a day-to-night Ruveal that reminded this ol' bitch about the Barbie Doll who could do that. Meanwhile, the bois are fffffffffffreakin' exhausted after David's bachelor party and try their damnedest. Give them a break; they're SLEEPY! Anyway, love you mean it. XOXO Judy Newmeyer.

05 Feb 2024 | Episode 36 - Girl Groups (RPDR S16 EP 5) | 01:43:11 | |
Well, it's time to ask the age-old question: Does RuPaul actually know what ASMR is? The girls are broken up into teams for maximum carnage and forced to write lyrics to RuPaul's latest ear-worms such as ASMR Lover, Star Baby, and one other song I can't remember but will inevitably be humming for the rest of the week. One of the contestants continues to be a bully but a really ineffective one and we have OPINIONS on Dawn and the life she's found on Mars. Will the bois have the wherewithal to be the Spice Girls or are they looking at being B*Witched and only remembered by weirdos who remember Disney Channel Original Movies?

21 May 2024 | Episode 48 - Drag Queens Save The World (AS9, EP1) | 01:46:34 | |
The bois are back to where it all began with an EXTRA chaotic episode to start of Season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars! The girls are tasked with choreographing and dancing to the song Drag Queens Save The World, and the bois are going to need someone to save them as they talk about Dear Evan Hanson, pretend to be Miss Vanjie, and get out the sillies after an amazing season! Will the bois be caped crusaders, or will they be crashing into the side of buildings? Smart money is on the latter, but only YOU can find out by downloading the latest episode of THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

This episode contains spoilers for episode 3 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8, The Supermarket Ball!
The boiz hit up their local grocery store looking for something good to eat but end up with a frozen dinner and a very confused reference to literature, Switzerland, and Nice White Ladies. Join them as they go through thirty freakin' outfits themed around dairy, produce, and random crap brought to you by PitCrewDash. Tea is spilled, more alliances are discussed, and all I can say is... Cleanup on aisle 3! | |||

21 Oct 2024 | Episode 78 - Ghoul Power (RPDRUK S6 E4) | 01:06:58 | |
This week the queens get into two spooky girl groups and have to write their own verses and choreograph to the song "Dead or Alive". In a twist at the end, the girls are actually judged individually instead of as teams shaking up the competition. Which group embodies Scary Spice rather than Spoopy Spice? Was one team All Saints while the other was All Sinners? Joe and David are all Gouls Aloud with their opinions, listen and find out. | |||
17 Sep 2024 | Episode 70 - It's Five O'Clock Somewhere! (RPGAS - S1, EP 6) | 01:25:31 | |
And to think, this is the first time Steven is sober in three episodes! David makes their triumphant return as they come in to celebrate everyone's second favorite kind of cock, cocktails! Okay, that joke might've been too blue, sorry. But the bois talk about cocktail dresses, the mysteries around the suitcases the queens brought, and more!

10 Sep 2024 | Episode 69 - Boobie The Shequel (RPGAS S1 EP 5) | 01:02:47 | |
Woe be upon us as we continue to crawl our ways out of the hot, sunny, blistering heat of Los Angeles and try to bring you entertainment from a boulder of unpleasantness known as RuPaul's GAS! I'm sorry, I meant Global All Stars. This week the girls are given hilarious (questionable) scripts that are parodies of classic films and also sequels to Barbie, but everyone gets Jimbo's breast plate because we learned nothing from Veronica Scone I suppose! Meanwhile, Joe and Steven try to keep the boat afloat and by Joe and Steven I mean Joe because Steven is WHAT? Inebriated.

The bois are back in town and they've never been loopier! Who are we? Where are we? Down Under, apparently! For this spicy episode we have TWO Lip Synchs For Your Lives to cover, a questionably improvised improv challenge, what qualifies as "fancy underpants," what makes a performance good versus Shakesqueer 2.0, and a villainous runway that has the bois gobbling up some poison apples. | |||
26 Jun 2023 | Episode 8 - You’re a Winner, Baby! (AS8, EP 8) | 01:31:20 | |
Costumes, costumes, and more costumes! It's a fashion challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars as the top five have to make an outfit inspired by a previous All Stars Winner!

And what will the bois say about a shocking (well, not THAT shocking) elimination from Steven's own reality TV show husband?! Find out this week on a brand spanking new episode of This Toxic Fandom, where we will finally answer the question: Why didn't she cut the baaaags? | |||
23 Jan 2024 | Episode 34 - The Mother of All Balls with special guest Kayla Kleinman | 01:45:15 | |
The bois bring back their honory boi (I guess goil?) Kayla as they talk about 48 looks and nearly die from all the fashion! Or just die from having to talk about 48 looks! Either way - Holy crap that's a lot of clothes to look at! The runways include Mother Goose, a famous mom (or really just anyone you can justify) and then making clothes for your mother out of clothes for your father! Clothes out of clothes, why hasn't anyone done this before? And don't say Canada, we both know we couldn't fit that in the schedule! It's not our fault! Anyway, immunity is discussed and Steven actually gets excited about Untucked in a moment of pure madness! Come join the fun and remember that a tie goes with any outfit! Just ask those who had to live in the aughts!

The bois are down a boi as Steven has caught something nasty and for once, he can't blame it on this season of All Stars! With him out of the picture (mostly), David and Joe get into the nitty gritty of a rather sh-- Not great episode where everyone returns to put on a talent show! But not Heidi, she's at home enjoying herself. Lucky. Join them as they share their hot takes on boob plates, the twisted twist of the Fame Games, and their feelings about flats on the runways! All this and more as they talk about RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars's "Fame Games Variety Extravaganza!" | |||

We want to see some H&M on this runway for the first time! For this season's first design challenge, the girls will have to make fashions that look off the rack, which Steven thinks is a great idea because he's WHAT? Insane. The girls are also tasked with presenting a slow-motion outfit to varying degrees of success and somehow, Squirrel Girl from Marvel Rivals is brought up. Check out the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom and listen as we dive head-first into Canada's Drag Race! | |||

What a title, huh folks? While we try to figure out how to make our new profile picture look good (turns out two unathletic Jews and a gym bunny lead to some interesting olympic-themed photographs) let's meet our very first GLOBAL ALL STARS! From all around the world, from the Philipines to Belgium to America, drag queens have congregated under the banner of Drag Race for a chance at glory and now some of the best of the best (and honestly it's a pretty damn stacked cast) have come together to battle it out for the first inductee into the Drag Race Hall of Fame International Pavilion! How EPCOT of them. The bois sit down and go through both parts of this two-part premiere and it is a HOOT, so give it a download now and let's see what these queens from around the world can do!

It's a cat pun! Get it?! In this week's Toxic Fandom the bois are missing their pigtailed partner as David is out and out leaving Steven and Joe to talk about catfights, fashion, sewing, and Linda the magical secret horse-pony! It's only week two of Drag Race UK's fifth season, and it is heating up when the girls are given stuff from the pet shop and told to make something worth of the cover of Vogue! And they brought in the editor-in-chief so you know they mean business! What fashions should be thrown out with the kitty litter and what manages to give us cat scratch fever? Well you'll have to listen to find out, silly! Remember to check out the latest episode of DragRace UK on BBC iPlayer or WoW Presents +!

30 Dec 2024 | Episode 90 - Canada's Snatch Game (CDR S5 EP 6) | 01:03:41 | |
The Snatch Game this week was so bad that it made Joe catch the flu bug! But seriously, people, wash your hands and get your flu shots, you morons. Anyway! David and Steven are left to summarize the Snatch Game and then be teleported to Mars by the intergalactic popstar runway! With Joe not there to moderate, let's ramble and talk about David Letterman, sad backstories, and the rare WOODEN BEAVER! All this and more in this week's This Toxic Fandom, so give it a listen and let's get impersonational! | |||
13 Feb 2024 | Episode 37 - Welcome to the DollHouse (RPDR S16, EP 6) | 01:54:58 | |
Content Warning: For some reason Joe brings up ALF of all things?! Do you remember ALF? He's back! In reference form! Steven may never recover. We're down to 11 girls and after a fun flamenco number they're forced to be THE DOLLS and create their very own fashion doll! Marketing, storytelling, and fashion all clash in the toy aisle as some girls get the prompt, some girls flounder, some girls panic and drink something they shouldn't, and at least three girls wear blue stretch velvet. It's a weird done, y'all! The bois dive into the toy aisle and their childhood loves and talk a big game, but can they survive the valley of the dolls, or will they end up in the bargain basement bin!?

This episode contains spoilers for episode five of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 8, The Snatch Game of Love.
While Steven and Joe lie in a pool of despair, David transforms into Taylor Swift and tries to lead the podcast through a very rough episode of All Stars 8, with a shocking self-elimination, a horrifying man-creature acting as Shirley Temple, and a very vulnerable conversation about representation and why that matters. Will the songs of Evermore be enough to lift the spirits of the boiz after a rough Snatch Game? Listen now to find out! | |||
19 Jun 2023 | Episode 7 - Forensic Queens (AS8, EP 7) | 01:33:31 | |
The bois find themselves in quite a pickle with low morale, nonsensible acting plots, throwbacks to 2013, and a low-effort runway. Oh, and the episode was bad too! Join us as we talk about one of the worst episodes of Drag Race in a dang minute, and talk about how production probably screwed up the closest we'll get to Early Outs ever! Will someone pull a Heidi and just leave? Will there be a Scooby Doo reference? And will Steven ever win a game of Jeop-Ru-dy?! Find out in this week's This Toxic Fandom as they talk about RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8, Episode Seven! | |||

But it belongs to Lemon, let's not be silly, here.

Will the crown go back to Canada, or will it remain somewhere else in the commonwealth? Download now to find out!

The season may be over, but that doesn't mean the bois don't have something to say about a Christmas movie that needs some Jesus. As Steven has a mental breakdown over poor writing, Joe tries to summarize it, and David... Actually seems to have a good time, good for them. Available on Paramount+ until it inevitably gets consolidated into a megacorporation for the holidays, join us as we watch what may be the worst Christmas special that the Drag Race franchise has ever been a part of!

Well, it's Snatch Game, and we haven't had five of those this year yet, so let's jump on it! Or run up it, as we're joined by Kate Bush, played by Kate Butch, a dirty old lady that solidifies Ginger Johnson as a frontrunner of this "competition," DeDeLicious's creeping insecurity, jokes that go over our Yank heads, and a runway that's guaranteed to give you a heart attack! Or not; it was kind of underwhelming, but still! We got a wonderful episode edited by our wonderful guest editor and fan of the show, Nicholas Crawford! Thank you for being a friend! And join the bois as they finally address: Is this the best season of RuPaul's Drag Race this year?

With one of the weirdest episode titles we've seen in a minute, it's Snatch Game, and that doesn't happen every season! Down Under has had its highs and lows with Snatch Game and the bois get into it, along with a long discussion about Kylie Minogue. Will an Italian accent win out over a Lord and Savior? Will Cardi B ever win a Snatch Game? Does Ru know any celebrity born after the Bush administration? Follow us on social media at https://www.instagram.com/thistoxicfandom/ and don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts for Joe to give you a shoutout. | |||
25 Jun 2024 | Episode 54 - Meeting in the Ladies Room (AS9, EP 7) | 01:29:30 | |
The bois huddle together in the nonbinary bathroom (aka all of them you weirdos) and talk about the latest acting challenge from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars while also ignoring the horrible fact that this is the second bathroom episode in as many seasons. Once is an accident, twice is a hobby, y'know? Anyway they talk about Showgirls, acting, putting the wrong EMPHASIS on WORDS for humor, and the fact that Steven needs to learn to buy more shoes like he's a dictatorship in the 80s or something. It's a weird one, folks. Give it a download now and meet us in the bathroom!

11 Oct 2024 | Episode 75 - Re-United Nations Makeover (RPDRGAS S1 EP 9) | 01:01:40 | |
Steven continues to be MIA and now he’s missing the first good episode in a minute! Well that’s fine as David and Joe dive into the obligatory makeover challenge, this time with the remaining girls giving the eliminated queens new looks and new names for some reason! Nehelina finally gets her roses, but will that be enough to stop the reign of the Ru Girls? Find out in this all new This Toxic Fandom! | |||
24 Oct 2024 | Episode 79 - Global Lip Sync Lalaparuza (RPDRGAS S1 EP 11) | 00:51:57 | |
While Joe's away, the gays will play as David and Steven discuss a lip-synch smackdown for a consolation prize! All the queens return (again?!) to perform for a $50,000 prize, and each girl has their own reason for fighting it out besides just kinda deserving a consolation prize for being on this season. Meanwhile, David and Steven discuss theatre etiquette (and their lack thereof), the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and how much stuff can fit into a butt. It's a weird one, folks, so tune in and join the fun as we get every closer to ending Global All Stars! | |||
28 Oct 2024 | Episode 80 - Sofa Showdown (RPDRUK S6 E5) | 00:59:31 | |
David is in London! Joe is in LA! and Pope... will be on the finale of GAS. This week the Queens have to pull out their best anecdotal stories because they're guests on the Graham Norton show! Well, the version that fits on the MainStage. Joe and David tell their own stories, talk about who they'd like to interview, as well as which queens bared their soul, and which queens were barely there. As Bowie says in the lip-sync song, Let's Dance! | |||
30 Sep 2024 | Episode 72 - Cabaret Talent Show (RPDRUK S6 E1) | 01:10:52 | |
Cheerio and welcome back to Drag Race UK!! In this season premiere we discuss the new queens, their talents, and figure out which queen truly shows us if life really is a Cabaret. Bliebe, reste, stay and listen to us talk about this brand new season! (Please note due to technical difficulties, this episode came out strangely in the audio quality department.) | |||
13 Nov 2023 | Episode 27 - Melodrama-Rama (DRUK S5, EP 7) | 01:12:29 | |
You know we made this whole episode and didn't mention the seminal work by Lorde once? We're slipping. This week the girls of Drag Race UK series 5 have to pair off and do an acting challenge that inevitably involves objectifying the Brit Crew! With a long history of acting challenge flops behind us, can we look forward to more physical pain or will we actually get a laugh? Maybe both! Join the bois as they talk about theme park food, the upcoming sequel to Inside Out, and have SO MANY OPINIONS ON THE RUNWAYS!

08 Aug 2024 | Episode 62 -Glamorous Drag Queen Ball Challenge (Canada Vs The World S2 E3) | 01:11:10 | |
It's a new day on the pod and we're having a ball! ...Literally. This week the queens have to take on the future in what we're lovingly calling the AI Ball. I was going use AI to write this summery but as a writer I couldn't bring myself to. Can all of these bottom ball girls find a top? Is Feircealicious a petulant child? Who gets a Rudemption? And is there such thing as a good Avril Lavigne lip sync song (David thinks they all are, don't come for him)? All this and more! Take a listen and enjoy! | |||
03 Jul 2023 | Episode 9 - Carson Kressley, This Is Your Gay Life (AS8, EP 9) | 01:59:31 | |
The bois welcome special guest and honorary boi (who they've name-dropped about nine hundred times already!) Kayla Kleinman onto the show as they talk about their shared husband in Alexis Michelle and this very special roast of style superstar and resident Horse Girl of RuPaul's Drag Race, Carson Kressley! The husbands are being eliminated, the feelings are real, the cases are real, and the jokes are really, really good in the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Episode Nine! | |||
20 Nov 2023 | Episode 28 - Hotline Makeover (DRUK S5, EP 8) | 01:08:34 | |
You used to call me on my Toxic Fandom but now you're... Actually, I have no idea what the lyrics to Hotline Bling are and I don't think you'd be interested in a Hotline Miami joke, so instead: It's the makeover episode! Oh no! Oh yay? Who knows! It's a very special makeover episode, tho, as the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Series 5 makeover the volunteers of Switchboard, the UK's longest running LGBT crisis line! Will we be gagged by their beauty? Will the bois make it one episode without a poppers joke?! Will Joe get Rodrigo's number from a loving fan?! Who knows!

04 Mar 2024 | Episode 40 - See You Next Wednesday (RPDR S16, EP 9) | 01:36:12 | |
The bois learn to dance dance dance with their hands hands hands above their head head heads! Or something like that. Maybe that song is just stuck in my head. Regardless, in this episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, the queens are tasked with making high-fashion goth inspired looks. Of course, they do this after getting rid of the only girl who had a goth phase, but hey, who are we to judge? Well, we're podcasters! It's our job! As they discuss fashion, goth, and the horrific mental image Joe gets of "club kids", they celebrate the gender spectrum and get into the nitty gritty of a goth runway!

07 Aug 2023 | Episode 14 - Muriel’s Bedding (DRDU S3, EP 2) | 01:08:56 | |
Steven picked one hell of an episode to get out of town, leaving David and Joe to talk about one of the wildest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under by themselves! Sexy boudoirs! Uncensored feet! Fashion! Beauty pageant contestants! And a queen goes down - but not under! Can the podcast manage without the stick-in-the-mud to keep things going? Yes! Because of the incredible Nicholas Edward, who guest edited this episode!

24 Jul 2023 | Episode 12 - Grande Finale (AS8, EP 12) | 01:48:25 | |
We've made it to the end and it's Jimbo Vs Kandy! The Clown Vs The Producer! Who will win?! Well, it's kind of obvious considering the favoritism, but still, it's the season finale of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8 and we need to see our finalists lip-synch, dance, and bare their souls for their last chance to enter the Drag Race Hall of Fame! Or something like that. The Bois meanwhile have to sit there and wonder where exactly it went wrong - 'Cept for David, who for sure had the best time this week. It's a doozy of an episode so give it a download today! | |||
15 Jan 2024 | Episode 33 - Queen Choice Awards (RPDR S16 EP 2) | 01:38:24 | |
The bois are gathered in Time's Square with a bunch of cardboard signs and they're DETERMINED to get X-Tina off of Carson's top 10 and get Brittney back in there because she deserves it! Oh, wait, no, it's the second part of the season 16 premiere! We meet seven new queens that make them go bananas, stop by the DMV with two special guest stars, and wonder: Why would you give the premiere guest star a bunch of air horns? We'll see beautiful cultural art lose out to boob jokes and we'll also see some sickening makeup! And what's this?! Did we finally talk about Drag Race Canada?! Tune in to find out!

15 Aug 2024 | Episode 63 - Reading Battles (CvTW S2 EP 4) | 01:21:00 | |
Let's get this roast a-cookin'! The producers up in Canada prove that they're smarter than the average bear (they have bears in Canada, right?) by combining the reading mini-challenge with the roast challenge! As the girls pair off to read each other the house-down-boots-tongue-pop-yes-gawd, the bois gush about this amuse bouche of a season as it cleanses the pallette and reminds us that the only thing we're fucking is funny. Does that joke work? Are you still reading this? If you are, you have to give us a five star review and listen to the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom - Canada Vs The World series 2!

07 Oct 2024 | Episode 74 - Haus of Rupaul (RPDRUK S6 E2) | 00:49:07 | |
This week the queens have to work in teams to create a cohesive collection to present on the runway. Their materials? Things mama Ru has Marie Condoed from different rooms in her house! Did you know Rupaul has a disco room!? You do if you watched her AD video... Garments are made, queens are thrown under buses, and the Drag Race franchise proves once again that if it were an Olympian, it'd probably be Tonya Harding. | |||
09 Dec 2024 | Episode 87 - The Slayoffs: Teams Edition (Canada's Drag Race Season 5, Episode 3) | 01:10:54 | |
Steven is back back back back again with Joe and David after his hiatus and the bois are reunited and better than ever! The three of them dive into the world of Drag Race Canada, where they get into the Tim Horton Hears a Who of it all as the top ten girls of Canada's Drag Race Season 5 compete in a smackdown lip synch for glory, honor, fame, and the chance to distribute their golden beaver however they see fit. Alanis Morisette before her big break, Joe not knowing when songs were popular to their own detriment, and David having a field day with Avril Levine?! It's all happening in the latest episode of THIS TOXIC FANDOM! | |||
11 Sep 2023 | Episode 19 - Terriers in Tiaras (DRDU S3, EP7) | 01:38:14 | |
Woof woof, we've reached the makeover challenge and it's gone to the dogs! There, I've written the most obvious copy we could for this episode. As our top four queens get ready to makeover some beautiful folks and their cute dogs, the bois dress up David's dog in drag and give her an awful name and then discuss the long, sordid history of the makeover challenge in Drag Race. Bad jokes are made, salient points are had, and they also get REALLY into describing the queen community as "the rainbow community." Who will our top three be?! Who will go home THIS CLOSE to the crown!? Well, I mean, I assume you already know, but if you don't, come explore with the bois as they get into Drag Race Down Under Episode 7, Terriers in Tiaras!

17 Oct 2024 | Episode 77 - There's No Place Like Home (RPDRGAS S1 EP 10) | 01:17:04 | |
HOW HAVE WE HAD TEN WEEKS OF THIS!? The girls are asked to make commercials advertising their home country (or, y'know, where RuPaul THINKS their country of origin is) and then we have weird commercials for Star Trek and Canva! What a world! Meanwhile Steven is back from his break and we're gonna see how many times we can say the not-nice-word-for-gay because apparently it's a food! Hey, United Kingdom, quick question: What the fuck? Join us for a bit of spotted dick and a trip to the clinic in Australia in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom! | |||
09 Jan 2024 | Episode 32 - Rate A Queen with special guest Joel Someone (RPDR S16 EP 1) | 02:09:47 | |
Adult film star and generally amazing person joins the bois as they dive into the first real season of RuPaul's Drag Race they've watched since the podcast began! Hooray! No more asterisks and only one uncomfortable photoshoot! In the premiere episode, seven new queens join the title of Ru Girl as they put on a talent show that's inexplicably hosted by Derrick Berry (who's less of a get as Joel Someone IMHO) and themed after an MTV thing they used to do in the summer. Sure! As the bois gush over Dawn, fall for Sapphira, and wonder who's at the door - oh, wait, it's Love Connie, guess the neighborhood is going to hell. Join us as we get this new season rolling!

The girls are given hunky background dancers for a show RuPaul really wants you to go see in Vegas and has to turn them into glamorous drag queens! Do they do it? Of course, you've seen a makeover episode before, and so have the bois, so they spend time faffing about in their own werk room talking about delayed queer adolescence, the terrors of tucking, and why Joe finds makeover episodes to be a personal attack. Join them as they dive into fashion faux-pas and dancing divas on this week's This Toxic Fandom!

14 Oct 2024 | Episode 76 - Brit-Flicks (RPDRUK S6 E3) | 01:03:00 | |
We're just a podcast sitting in your up next queue asking you to listen to us. It's an acting challenge this week, and the queens are asked to dig deep into their diaries to see if acting actually is in their wheelhouse. They spoof some of the best British (and a few American) Romcoms and on the runway see if they can spin the judges right round with their New Romantics look. Yes, "romance" is in the air, but one of these queens is going to sashay away and find a brand new lover. | |||
27 Feb 2024 | Episode 39 - Snatch Game with special guest Daddy Kylex (RPDR S16, EP 8) | 02:16:10 | |
While Steven is still in recovery from a musical episode, David and Joe team up with adult content creator and general zaddy, Daddy Kylex! And it's just in time, too, because it's the snatch game! Again! Will this be a legendary flop like season 14? An overstuffed mess like S15? Or will it actually be... A good snatch game?! Give it a listen to find out! Because with a snatch stuffed by a daddy, it's hard not to have an extra-long episode! Oh god, I'm so sorry you had to read that, but seriously, it's a great episode and a great guest.

23 Dec 2024 | Episode 89 - The One Where They Went 90s (CDR S5 EP5) | 01:01:40 | |
Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her drag race podcast! It's just, like, so... Big. This week on This Toxic Fandom, we gave up on the new millennium and went back to the halcyon days of slap bracelets, beanie babies, roller blades, and making way too many hand gestures. That's right kids, we're totally bugging and going back to the 90s! The girls of Canada's Drag Race make their very own girl groups and then have to combine the fashions of grunge and glamour on the runway. Who will be a fly girl, who will fly away like Lenny Kravitz, and who will get beamed in the head with a giant cell phone? And which one of the bois is a virgin who can't drive?!!? Find out this week on THIS TOXIC FANDOM as they dive into CANADA'S DRAG RACE SEASON 5 EPISODE 5!!! | |||
03 Oct 2024 | Episode 73 - Mmm... A Rich International Roast (RPDRGAS S1 E8) | 00:53:32 | |
Much like Sabrina Carpenter, and how one of these podcasters takes their espresso, this episode is Short n Sweet. Do you have a lot to say about Global All Stars? That's what we thought. Find out who we thought was giving us a real buzz this episode, how we take our coffee, and why we're crying over spilled greek yogurt (they can't all be coffee jokes.) | |||
11 Nov 2024 | Episode 83 - Pop of the Tops: The Rusical (RPDRUK S6 E7) | 01:04:47 | |
Oh what a beautiful mornin! It's time for a Rusical! This week the queens get to star in a brand new Rusical as some of the UKs most influential pop stars on a Top of the Pops parody! Joe and David talk about whether they have faith in Kyran getting another win and if Actavia can spice up her life or not. Regardless, much like the character Marmalade plays, the bitches are back! | |||
22 Jul 2024 | Episode 58 - Grand Finale Part 1 (AS9, EP 11) | 01:13:03 | |
UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO BREAK THE FINALE INTO TWO PARTS DO THEY NOT THINK PEOPLE HAVE LIVES?! The bois are on the struggle bus and it's careening towards a cliff as the girls of All Stars 9 do the world's longest makeover mini-challenge of all time and then faff about forever. Tic Tacs are eaten, sleep is not had, and the twists on twists on twists don't really feel all that twisty in the grand scheme of things, so the Bois get medical and start dissecting what worked and what didn't about this really, really weird season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. Listen now so you too can complain about strange productions with us!

28 Aug 2023 | Episode 17 - BMX Bitches (DRDU S3, EP 5) | 01:44:49 | |
Not letting an ocean keep them apart even while vacationing, the bois manage to cobble together an episode like these girls managed to cobble together a girl group challenge! Themed after the famous (citation needed) Australian extreme sports flick The BMX Bandits, our top six girls have to sing, dance, and ride bikes to some of the worst music since BDE. Will they ride into the sunset or crash and burn? Answer: Both! And that's what makes for good TV! Which is still better TV than the reads from this mini-challenge. Will someone get that Ben fellow Joe's number? Will there be singing? Will there be audio issues? Well, yes to that last one, but only by downloading and listening now can YOU find out if the bois got the stuff to take off their training wheels and start riding motocross. Also, Motocrossdressing. Why wasn't that pun used this episode?! | |||
11 Mar 2024 | Episode 41 - Werq the World (RPDR S16, EP 10) | 01:34:52 | |
The campaign trail is a bumpy one as the bois have to watch the first less-than-good episode of this season of RuPaul's Drag Race! With a lack of elimination, an episode title that leaves them scratching their head, and a complete lack of a message, will the Bois find something worth talking about, or will they wander around the wastelands looking for anything else to talk about? I think we both know the answer, dear listener, but the bois bring the energy and try to bring the funk (with a side of mayonnaise) on this week's This Toxic Fandom!

16 Oct 2023 | Episode 23 - Club Bangers (DRUK S5, EP 3) | 01:37:37 | |
The bois are all about that pop life this week as the girls of Drag Race UK Series 5 are forced to record a new hit club banger that's sure to sweep the musical charts, "Don't Ick My Yum!" The bois talk about Madonna, Kim Petras's drama with her recent concerts, what constitutes a pop star, and who among them hasn't screwed up a catchphrase or six in their time?! The runways this week are all about the divas and male-equivalents-of-divas who inspired us through generations, and the song is shockingly catchy, so what on earth will they talk about?!

The bois are here, they're queer, and they're gonna watch some drag queens lip sync for a badge! As the season begins to wind down we watch as the girls of All Stars 9 dip, trip, dive, duck, and dodge through a lip sync smorgasbord of (kinda alleged) fan favorite numbers! It's hard to be invested but by golly they give it their all. Or something like that. Download the latest episode now so you can join in on the toxic fandom discourse!

31 Oct 2023 | Episode 25 - Panto Dames (DRUK5, EP 5) | 01:21:04 | |
LOOK BEHIND YOU! But not in a scary way! The bois are talking about Panto, the drag-tastic child theatre of England, as the girls of Drag Race UK Series 5 (since y'all don't have seasons) have to act and sing their way through a brand new Rusical called "Oh No She Panto Don't!" A name so bad it could have only come from this show! The thrilling story about Dick (the name, you pervert) trying to find his missing cat! I don't see any double entendres there and neither should you! Check out the latest episode as we discuss the sickening mirrored fashions, the musical prowess of the girls, and how much it sucks to be a podcaster when you have COVID!

26 Aug 2024 | Episode 66 - International Queens of Mystery (Dragrace Global Allstars Ep 3) | 01:33:30 | |
For some reason that can only be chalked up to poor planning and/or intentional villainy, they decide to do a ball in episode two with THIRTY SOMETHING LOOKS. Glad to know poorly planning international trips isn't just a me problem! The girls are given a James Bond-inspired challenge where they have to make super spies and their octopussy is on fire! Well, some of them. Some of them just wrap themselves in fabric and put on a good wig and call it a day. The bois talk about runways, international travel, and how much they stan Canada. Hey, the finale comes out Friday, so make sure you tune in for that!

27 Nov 2023 | Episode 29 - Dragiator’s Roast (DRUK S5, EP 9) | 01:35:31 | |
Have you ever seen a title that has to bend over so hard to make sense that it probably needs a chiropractor? Not as much as that girl from the last episode needs one, but still. This week the girls are tasked with roasting their former competitors, the judges, and each other as they don their butchest of wrestling singlets and get this roast a cookin'! Then we get poofy (har har) with a runway of Poofs on Parade, where we find out that Gay Gasping is still alive and well! What do the bois think of the penultimate episode of the best season of the year? Will pesto be involved? Let's find out together in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, where we dive into Drag Race UK season 5!

27 Mar 2024 | Episode 43 - Bathroom Hunties (RPDR S16, EP 12) | 01:34:39 | |
What do you mean this episode came late?! It wasn't like Steven was just really busy and left the other bois to figure out how to podcast without him! Then again, they're so cute and charming in this episode it's hard not to enjoy it. Oh dear, is Steven paying them compliments in the copy? Yes, but they never read this so it's okay. This week the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race have to decorate bathrooms and see if they can spill more tea. Or share actual traumatic moments. I'm still not over that, are you? Morphine makes us think about the bathroom bills America is dealing with (because Republicans are FREAKING WEIRD and not allowed to enjoy Drag and be obsessed with who uses what bathroom at the same time) and Dawn might have to phone home. Y'know. Like ALF. Yeah I'm never recovering from that one. Tune in and join in the fun 'cause Dad's MIA and the bois are having a bathroom party! Woo!

25 Jul 2024 | Episode 59 - Drag Pop (Canada Vs the World S2, EP 1) | 01:23:41 | |
It's a smack-down, drag-out fight for the finish as the second round of girls enters Canada Vs. The Wor-- Well, it's really more of Canada Vs. The Commonwealth if you only have one girl from a season that isn't from an English-speaking country, innit? After slogging through All Stars 9 the bois are back and ready to watch girls from France, the UK, America, and Canada battle it out for a crown and $100,000 in a season that Joe probably called "Lemon-tastic" in private and would never admit it. Sadly, due to technical issues, Steven had already passed out by the time they recorded it so prepare for an... Animated first episode.

19 Feb 2024 | Episode 38 - The Sound of RuSic (RPDR S16, EP7) | 01:34:03 | |
The pain, the pain of it all! It's another musical episode! Will Steven survive the endless references he doesn't understand?! Will Joe and David get into a heated debate over the best uses of Fossey styled choreography? Well, freakin' DUH, but hey they have a good time and even talk about an amazing runway with a gay Cloverfield monster! That's just special! The bois are going deep and getting broad(way) - It's time for the sound of Rusic, y'all!

We are halfway through the season and finally at the snatch game! This week, the Queen’s have to start the episode by reading the house down boots yassss God… A.k.a. the reading challenge, followed by the snatch game! Is RuPaul being shady by having them do both of these in one Episode let us know in a five star rating in review on Apple podcasts. David and Joe truly have the best time discussing one of the best snach games in a minute. | |||

In this week we get a bunch of drool-worthy firefighters getting in drag as the girls work in teams. Who serves kitty and who serves burn victim? Listen to the episode to find out! I don't know! Steven and Joe spend most of it twirling their hair (well, Joe twirls their hair, Steven just kinda twirls air) and being giddy about firefighters while David tries to run the show.

With Steven away, it's up to Joe (who has never seen a movie) and David (who doesn't like scary movies unless there are lesbian undertones) to watch a Rusical about scary movies! Prepare to scream, queens! Meanwhile, the queens of AS9 get spooky in all-monster, all-Santanic, all excellent musical that is actually legitimately good? Like, what?! Why did Steven miss this one?! Because he had to go run around the woods with a stick? The nerd! You don't want to be a nerd, do you?!

01 Jul 2024 | Episode 55 - Make Your Own Kind of Rusic (AS9, EP 9) | 01:19:58 | |
In this fashion-forward episode of This Toxic Fandom, the bois get really into the history of Moschino (and David's personal history with Jeremy Scott), talk about some great runways, and try to keep morale up as we dig into the darkest part of the RuPaul's Drag Race lore: RuPaul's music career. Nah, we're mostly joking - The girls make outfits based on those songs you hear when they walk the runway, and they're really great! Well, most of them are. Check it out as we dive into another episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9!

It seems like just yesterday we were a young and simple podcast about overly competitive fashion clowns fighting for dominance, but now we're all grown up as we watch the Grand Finale of Drag Race Down Under season 3! Good luck and thanks for all the fish, it's been swell but the swelling has gone down, and about sixteen other ways to say goodbye to probably the best season of a VERY controversial gem in the Drag Race crown! Will the bois gush about Flor? Duh. Will they talk about the episode in depth while getting rather goofy and chaotic? You know they will! Join us Down Under one last time as we say goodbye to Season 3 of Drag Race Down Under!

18 Mar 2024 | Episode 42 - Corporate Queens (RPDR S16, EP 11) | 01:42:29 | |
Hi, welcome to This Toxic Fandom's TED Talk on how to be a fandom and only be moderately toxic. The bois this week get corporate and discuss the nuances of celebrating a month in a week, the longing for forbidden fried chicken, the trouble with confused editing, and how some people come out emotionally and other people come out with a powerpoint like they're Debbie from the Addam's Family or something. The girls this week have to give a presentation on Drag in the office and then walk the runway in a totally gnarly 80s-inspired fashion. Who wore it best, and will we be seeing AI queens on drag race!? Find out in this week's mandatory meeting-- I mean, this week's This Toxic Fandom!

We're going off the rails this season and we couldn't be happier! As the bois watch the HIGHEST RATED EPISODE OF DRAG RACE EVER the eliminated girls come back and fight for the title of She Already Done Had Herses and $50,000! Hand puppets, stunts, splits, Miami, New York City, reveals upon reveals, giant hats, googly eyes - There is nothing this episode doesn't have! Join the bois as they gush about Megami and discuss who really earned the title of She Already Done Had Herses (which is just as fun to type as it it is to say!)

30 Jan 2024 | Episode 35 - RDR Live! (RPDR S16 EP 4) | 01:24:24 | |
It's not live and we're not in New York but dammit, we have a show to talk about and we're gonna make it work! The bois talk about Cher, the talents of a certain Plane, and much All Stars 8 we have RDR Live, a parody of SNL, which has devolved into a parody of itself. Like do we need to celebrate a show that came out forever ago, possibly lost it's luster, but matters because it's made some pop-culture icons that define generations? Wait, am I talking about SNL or RPDR? Or both! Doesn't matter! We're super excited because CHEEEERRRRR and also we get all emotional about Mirage because she's great xoxo call Joel.

Here's hoping that if we get GAS again, it'll be with some Tums or something. Join the conversation now with This Toxic Fandom as they say goodbye to RuPaul's Global All Stars! | |||

Ah, the glamorous life of a Drag Queen. For this celebration the bois have broken out their hottest takes, the silliest fakes, and Steven possibly stepped on a rake! Or he just needed a rhyme for the final thing since it's (technically) our last episode of 2023! Come join the fun and send some love to our new Queen of the mother tuckin' United Kingdolls and all the girls that made this the best season of the year!
