Episode 24 - Disaster Class (DRUK5, EP 4)

The girls are tasked with creating a comedic take on master classes based on working, partying, and love! But how can they do that if you don't give them suits, RuPaul?! The bois cover this and more while being sleep-deprived and talking about the majestic land of Northern California, where they can't pronounce "lachaim," and also join in on making fun of Posh Spice because that's the theme of the season! We're so tired, y'all. Do us a favor and give us a five-star review for the monumental effort of doing a podcast about possibly the best season of Drag Race we've had in a minute!

Episode 23 - Club Bangers (DRUK S5, EP 3)

The bois are all about that pop life this week as the girls of Drag Race UK Series 5 are forced to record a new hit club banger that's sure to sweep the musical charts, "Don't Ick My Yum!" The bois talk about Madonna, Kim Petras's drama with her recent concerts, what constitutes a pop star, and who among them hasn't screwed up a catchphrase or six in their time?! The runways this week are all about the divas and male-equivalents-of-divas who inspired us through generations, and the song is shockingly catchy, so what on earth will they talk about?! Find out this week on This Toxic Fandom - Drag Race UK!

Episode 22 - Purr-fect Looks (DRUK S5, EP2)

It's a cat pun! Get it?! In this week's Toxic Fandom the bois are missing their pigtailed partner as David is out and out leaving Steven and Joe to talk about catfights, fashion, sewing, and Linda the magical secret horse-pony! It's only week two of Drag Race UK's fifth season, and it is heating up when the girls are given stuff from the pet shop and told to make something worth of the cover of Vogue! And they brought in the editor-in-chief so you know they mean business! What fashions should be thrown out with the kitty litter and what manages to give us cat scratch fever? Well you'll have to listen to find out, silly! Remember to check out the latest episode of DragRace UK on BBC iPlayer or WoW Presents +!

Episode 21 - Tickety Boo (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 5 EP 1)

Chip chip Cheerio and all that rot! The bois are deep in the United Kingdom with the Queen's English and it's going to be a wild ride when 10 new girls (plus someone who doesn't matter) compete for the prize of... Well, a trip to LA. That's something? Kinda? Hey, at least the badges are cool! Join us on this brand new season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and a brand new season of This Toxic Fandom as Steven, Joe, and David discuss the fashions, the challenges, and the weird judging on this brand new episode - now on BBC3 iPlayer and WoW Presents!

Episode 20 - Grand Finale - Down Under Season 3 (DRDU S3, EP 8)

It seems like just yesterday we were a young and simple podcast about overly competitive fashion clowns fighting for dominance, but now we're all grown up as we watch the Grand Finale of Drag Race Down Under season 3! Good luck and thanks for all the fish, it's been swell but the swelling has gone down, and about sixteen other ways to say goodbye to probably the best season of a VERY controversial gem in the Drag Race crown! Will the bois gush about Flor? Duh. Will they talk about the episode in depth while getting rather goofy and chaotic? You know they will! Join us Down Under one last time as we say goodbye to Season 3 of Drag Race Down Under!

Episode 19 - Terriers in Tiaras (DRDU S3, EP7)

Woof woof, we've reached the makeover challenge and it's gone to the dogs! There, I've written the most obvious copy we could for this episode. As our top four queens get ready to makeover some beautiful folks and their cute dogs, the bois dress up David's dog in drag and give her an awful name and then discuss the long, sordid history of the makeover challenge in Drag Race. Bad jokes are made, salient points are had, and they also get REALLY into describing the queen community as "the rainbow community." Who will our top three be?! Who will go home THIS CLOSE to the crown!? Well, I mean, I assume you already know, but if you don't, come explore with the bois as they get into Drag Race Down Under Episode 7, Terriers in Tiaras!

Episode 18 - Drag Brunch (DRDU S3, EP 6)

Whether way your toilet flushes, one thing unites all humans: The desire, and the love, of brunch! And no one does brunch better than drag queens who are guaranteed to take advantage of bottomless mimosas! So, of course, that means the black sheep of the Drag Race franchise uses it as an excuse for a talent show that gives the bois a bit of agita. Questionable judging, insane outfits, FINALLY learning the story of BMX Bandits (maybe?) and more await you in the latest episode of This Toxic Fandom, where they watch RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, Season 3, Episode 6: Drag Brunch! Pass the syrup and download this episode today, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @ThisToxicFandom!

Episode 17 - BMX Bitches (DRDU S3, EP 5)

Not letting an ocean keep them apart even while vacationing, the bois manage to cobble together an episode like these girls managed to cobble together a girl group challenge! Themed after the famous (citation needed) Australian extreme sports flick The BMX Bandits, our top six girls have to sing, dance, and ride bikes to some of the worst music since BDE. Will they ride into the sunset or crash and burn? Answer: Both! And that's what makes for good TV! Which is still better TV than the reads from this mini-challenge. Will someone get that Ben fellow Joe's number? Will there be singing? Will there be audio issues? Well, yes to that last one, but only by downloading and listening now can YOU find out if the bois got the stuff to take off their training wheels and start riding motocross. Also, Motocrossdressing. Why wasn't that pun used this episode?!

Episode 16 - Snatch Game - Down Under Season 3 (DRDU S3, EP 4)

With one of the weirdest episode titles we've seen in a minute, it's Snatch Game, and that doesn't happen every season! Down Under has had its highs and lows with Snatch Game and the bois get into it, along with a long discussion about Kylie Minogue. Will an Italian accent win out over a Lord and Savior? Will Cardi B ever win a Snatch Game? Does Ru know any celebrity born after the Bush administration?

Episode 15 - Fake Housewives of Down Under (DRDU S3, EP 3)

The bois are back in town and they've never been loopier! Who are we? Where are we? Down Under, apparently! For this spicy episode we have TWO Lip Synchs For Your Lives to cover, a questionably improvised improv challenge, what qualifies as "fancy underpants," what makes a performance good versus Shakesqueer 2.0, and a villainous runway that has the bois gobbling up some poison apples.
