Alright Mary: All Things Rupaul's Drag Race

It’s time to bring out the black lights because this week’s theme is something like 80’s funhouse neon darkroom nightmare demon—oh and also make it two in one looks. Throb is back to playing Boulet’s Best Friend Race with Nio, and Orkgotik is worried they’re kissing. Meanwhile, Blackberri glows like an Egyptian, Cynthia goes full club kid and Fantasia barely wriggles out of the bottom. Nio strong arms her way to another win and we say goodbye to the much beloved narrator of the season in an extermination that was not shocking, literally. Want even more Alright Mary?

Set your sonic transducers to stunning because we’re headed to the intergalactic backpages for some casual connections that are out of this world. And a little muppety, if that’s your thing. This week’s sex workers in space floor show was a mixed bag when it came to interpreting the prompt, but it’s JayKay who is most feeling the gravity of the situation as Throb vows to send them to Uranus because Jarvis lost a lip sync a couple weeks ago. We manage to also use up some oxygen on male orgasms, Mary Higgins Clark, Meet the Feebles and the treacherous black hole that is the Dragula subreddit. Want even more Alright Mary?

It’s the battle of the bands this week! While Chaotik is horns above Devil’s 4 Play when it comes to banding together, Blackberri drums up some deserved praise for making the most of being, daresay, a background singer. “Gods of Death” sends us down a late 90s/early 2000s rock rabbit hole, but we also talk about organic peanut butter and class trips for a little bit, so there’s something for everyone. Cynthia goes full Baddie Mom, Throb wears sunglasses inside, JayKay has Disney voice, Fantasia brings out a second bucket hat, Orkgotik wears that ROBE, Nio is no guitar hero and in a shock to no one, Anna Phylactic is branded and disbanded. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re not quite buying what they’re selling for this week’s QVShe home shopping challenge. From fancy flats to party ponchos, the queens hawk crap on live TV, try to make “Daddeldoo” happen and in some cases completely fall apart under the pressure to sell bras with pockets. The runway is a rocky road of precious stones, but guest judge Rajah O’Hara is a welcomed addition, as is the Golden Beaver twist. Kitten not only wins this week, but may work at Home Depot, and we say see see ya later to Sisi. Indeed, that’ll do. Want even more Alright Mary?

t’s time to separate the beasts from the babies, the monsters of rock group challenge is (almost) here! This week’s opening act is a full metal floorshow followed by an on the spot extermination via a lip sync for your death. Fantasia takes center stage, Orkgotik is the baddest bitch of the night and Niohuru continues to chop through the competition. JayKay’s rollercoaster of a journey this season takes another hard left, but it’s the Hammer that gets nailed this week. We also discuss Anna’s outburst, Cynthia’s day job, House of Villains and the sounds that bat hands make. Want even more Alright Mary?

Eleven new queens of the north have entered, subsequently exited, then re-entered en masse through that maple leaf shaped door for a new season of Canada’s Drag Race! In what is essentially one big Meet the Queens, we get a showgirls mini-challenge, workroom banter, a social justice alcove, a visit from Tegan and Sara in their best raincoats and a first impressions runway for the true north trio of Brooke, Brad and Tracy. We’re already having a great Girlfriend Experience, but we loved when Sisi bonked her head on the lamp and then fell off the couch. We also have a lot to say about Alanis, Aunt Linda at the wedding, the Real Gays of WeHo, Season 2 of “Up the Lakeside” and Fleetwood Mac. Want even more Alright Mary?

We’re checking into the spookiest Marriott you’ve ever seen for this week’s haunted hotel floorshow! Throb takes it to the penthouse suite, but is bested by JayKay’s sentient bar cart. Nio nearly says “I do” to a second win, despite some cold feet in the Lab, Anna misses her shot but hits our bullseyes, Fantasia and Jarvis get notes and Satanna briefly quits before three of them lay on some cots while rats give them tickles. Want even more Alright Mary?

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?

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?
