Episode 34 - The Mother of All Balls with special guest Kayla Kleinman

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!

Episode 33 - Queen Choice Awards (RPDR S16 EP 2)

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!

Episode 32 - Rate A Queen with special guest Joel Someone (RPDR S16 EP 1)

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!

Episode 31 - The Bitch Who Stole Christmas Holiday Stocking Stuffer!

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! Don't @ me about it, I'm drunk on egg nog and having a wonderful time!

Episode 30 - Grand Finale (DRUK S5, EP 10)

After ten weeks of shocking swerves, zigs, and zags, we've come to Coronation Street (or just a coronation!) and will finally see which one of our top three finalists will take home the crown and scepter and a show in a basement in Los Angeles! 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!

Episode 29 - Dragiator’s Roast (DRUK S5, EP 9)

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!

Episode 28 - Hotline Makeover (DRUK S5, EP 8)

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!

Episode 27 - Melodrama-Rama (DRUK S5, EP 7)

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!

Episode 26 - Snatch Game (DRUK S5, EP 6)

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?

Episode 25 - Panto Dames (DRUK5, EP 5)

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!
