In this latest recap of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, Steven has been kidnapped by Joe and forced to talk about A Chorus Line! I mean The Wiz. I mean The Wizard of Oz. I mean, Wicked? Eh, screw it, we'll just throw all of them in a blender and make a Rusical out of it! The remaining ten girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 show off their musical talents as they take on iconic Wizard of Oz characters such as Dorothy, The Scarecrow, Glenda the Good Witch, and... Cher, I suppose! Who will be getting a Tony and who will be getting a Booty?! Find out in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom!

Oh dear, did a wet ball drop? Sorry, that joke was disgusting, but you know what's not disgusting? 36 sickening looks based on the 70% of the earth we can't live in! The girls of season 17 are tasked with making outfits out of sea trash, while also showing off a bathing beauty look AND a look inspired by marine life! And not a mermaid to be seen. Tragic, really. Meanwhile the boys talk about how they stan Hormona Lisa, why being pretty can be a bad thing, and who's afraid of the big bad Ru. Join the discussion and download now!

Because we never learn from our mistakes, we're doing RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE LIVE! But not really, because that would be gonzo. Yes it's the return of everyone's one-take-sketch-comedy show and we have notes upon notes to share before we get tickled pink on the runway! As the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17 argue and fight over what's "good drag," we can't help but wonder - Has anyone ever taken a sketch comedy class on the production team? Find out in this week's episode of THIS TOXIC FANDOM!

It's a new day, and after the first elimination, the girls of RuPaul's Drag Race season 17 are in their feelings, but so are the bois as they talk about Drag Race Alumni's OnlyFans, the rise and fall of J-O-E and don't forget the ELLA, and how we've already seen several girls pull ahead despite only having two real competitive episodes! Seriously, for an episode the bois aren't too fond of, they find a lot of ways to talk about it. Join in the conversation now!

This episode we bid farewell to season 5 of Canada! We get tea from a listener, Pope's hot take from the bathroom (He was sick and couldn't make it), crown a winner, hear who Joe wanted to get the crown, and celebrate David's Birthday. Oh, David also annoys Joe with how much he wants to just talk about his love Orville Peck

Fun fact, Steven misread this title as "menopause" and was very confused. Anyway! It's a new day in the Werk Room as the girls are given money honey and then asked to make outfits based on everyone's least favorite board game that we all have a copy of anyway, Monopoly! Will Steven keep the boardgamery in his pants? Will the girls serve the looks or end up not passing go and going straight to Jail? Find out in this week's episode of This Toxic Fandom as we dive into RuPaul's Drag Race season 17, episode 3!

The top 5 girls are brought together to... Be interviewed by Brad Goreski? It's a weird one, folks, but it's Canada's Drag Race and we're almost at the finish line! We talk about Wicked, Munchkins, Canadians, Anita Bryant finally doing something good with her life by dying, and how if you squint really hard in some parts of the podcast you might see Steven hanging around. Will these jokes make sense? Only if you join us as we continue to talk about Canada's Drag Race on This Toxic Fandom!

We're back to find out who wins, who lipsync's against Acacia, and who goes home. We also answer questions like what does rollerskating lead to? Is standup a good talent? and what is a Badonk-a-dunk twist? All this and more! Sadly due to the ongoing fires in LA, Pope was not able to join us this episode. He will be back for Canada on Thursday!

Oh, I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You download your favorite podcast about the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race because you think you're too good for the international seasons, but what you don't know is that that episode is not just well produced, it's not just funny, it's taken from one of the greatest challenges ever produced on Drag Race Canada where the remaining contestants are asked to make custom outfits for the host of the program to model. You're so unaware of the fact that while America is doing Rate A Queen, Canada included that level of drama and gamery in at least two-thirds of its season. Fascinating. Does this need a belt? Find out in this week's episode of This Toxic Fandom!
