All Stars 10 continues with the second episode of the not-a-two-part-premiere-but-they-made-us-do-double-duty-anyway premiere, this time with an improv challenge for Team Orange as they have to deduce who the murderer on the dance floor is! Turns out, it's Michelle, but who cares, this is a glass eye, and I lost this eye to glaucoma! We're blind! But more importantly, find out what you call an all gay Conclave, who is a Calculus Rising, and if David ever bought the merch he promised he'd buy from Bosco, all in this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM as they cover All Stars 10, Episode 2, Murder on the Dance Floor! You better not kill the groom, folks.

Well, we've been dropped into a dunk tank, had our jokes stolen, held our lighters up in a jazz bar, saw a human tumbleweed, and learned never to trust thithers. We'd say we were big fans if we were all dressed as oscillating fans, but honestly, we've had a fun time with YOU, dear listener, as we've watched Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race. Now it's time to crown the winner and see who will take it!... You know who took it, right? Like, it was kinda obvious? Anyway, join the bois for one last splash in the Season 17 pond as they cover the season finale!

Monday Apr 14, 2025

The ten eliminated queens of Season 17 are back back back back again to battle it out for the title of She Done Already Done Had Herses, and while we're lacking a Megami to pray to or a shot of Morphine, these girls show their Butthole and prove whose King and give us a pretty good Toot while they're at it as they trick, dip, and flip their way to $50,000 in one of the most entertaining episodes of the season. Join Joe and David as they talk about their lip sync dreams, New York, backpacks, and why it takes a whole lot of clown to be a lesbian.

It's time to toot (or really boot) the Vegas strip as the girls "audition" for RuPaul's Drag Race Live! The bois discuss what makes a good season, their highlights of S17, what they expect from the Lalaparuza, and the most important question: Is Latrice good at interviewing, or is she just charismatic? Find out this burning question and more on this week's THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

Not a dry eye in the house as the top 5 queens of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are asked to put their parents in drag! The bois of This Toxic Fandom talk about their own parents, the complicated relationships you can have with your adult child, how hard it is to be a queer child even with supportive parents, and some actually fun topics too such as fashion, how to be a proper clown, and LEGO! Join the conversation today and maybe call your mom while you're at it!

This week the queens have to showcase their minds, bodies, and souls as they write monologues and create interpretive dances for the Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent Monologues. We have two hosts this week (David and Joe) who take a stab at writing each other's bios (a take on the mini challenge), talk about seeing Lexi Love at a viewing party (watching her watch the show was its own show), and find out why David and Pope haven't been in the same recording room for the past 3 weeks (feud of the decade). All this and more!

All these ducks but not one Mighty Ducks or Daffy Duck or Donald Duck reference to be seen? Despicable! While David's off doing dope shit Joe and Steven are left to discuss Ross Matthews Vs the Ducks, a parody sketch where the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 perform a parody of the limited series Capote vs The Swans. That's right, we have a character named Butthole, and we're going to teach you about Truman Capote. Who said reality TV was trash?! Parodies upon parodies are done as Steven and Joe discuss John Cena's heel turn, the ravages of time, and more only on this episode of This Toxic Fandom. Download now and join the conversation!

Don't hate on us cause the episode is late, but we may let you roast us! This week we're covering the Haters Roast, where the queens have to roast 3 villains from Drag Race past (Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Plane Jane, and Kandy Muse). We also discuss if Jewels' order was fair, if Lexi's inner saboteur is getting the best of her, as well as Suzie Toot-y's fruity booty!

Designer to the stars and dollmaker to the fabulous Astor Yang joins This Toxic Fandom as the bois discuss the pink, the powerful, and the split-tacular Betsey Johnson in one of the most fun and well thought-out design challenges in the show's history! The girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 are given three of Betsey Johnson's most iconic collections and told to reinvent them in their own image, and there are some high highs, low lows, and a showmance for the ages. Kiss me deadly, it's This Toxic Fandom, and it's time to join the conversation by downloading now!
