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?! Download the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom as we talk about All Stars 9's Rusical extravaganza!Check us out on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@thistoxicfandom and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thistoxicfandom/

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!

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!

It's your patriotic duty to download this episode as the bois get into the National Drag Convention Roast, a roast themed around the idea of "hey what if we did a roast but randomly put up some stuff so we can say it's about getting people to vote." What a concept! Jorgeous tries being butch, Sailor Moon takes up smoking, and we discuss what's so funny about truth, Drag, and the American way! Podcasts don't have gerrymandering, so get into it and listen NOW!

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.

So we're all running on three hours of sleep because David's bachelor party but we love you enough to get an episode out to you. You're WELCOME. 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. Now enjoy, dammit!
