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!

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!
