QueerAnon with Mister Sister

Hey kids, We're back....again!! We've got a nice long check in. Then we're looking back at all the big stories we missed from the summer and gettin real ethereal talking about Bjork's new podcast. Then we're chatting about Phantom closing, and what this means for the future of Broadway. Theater in the metasphere?!?! As always, we end with ConsQUEERacies. Thanks for being so patient, babes. 

Hey kids, We're back with an all new episode. This week it's all about Mama! After a long overdue check-in, we jump into a very very very late discussion of the infamous slap heard round the world. (C'mon you know y'all  wanna know what we think). Then, after our newest segment: Slap of the Week!,  we've got a new Stupid Quiz all about celebrities and their Moms. Then it's on to this week's Pop Culture Moment: the new HBO stand-up special from Jerrod Carmichael entitled Rothaniel.  Spoiler: WE LOVED IT. That leads us into a Deep Dive on Moms and our coming out stories. As always we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy's got some thoughts on New York apartments and their paper thin walls. And Jordan tries to answer the question ‘Is Nick Lachey alive?' The truth is here. The truth is queer. And Mama, she just killed a man. 

Hey kids, we're back with a new episode. After a nice long check-in, we jump into the Bottom 5 stories of the week. (Well, last week. We'll get to the Oscars and that infamous slap in our next episode). We're talking Ukraine, Prince Philip, Covid Year 3 and of course, Drag Queens. Then we jump into this week's Pop Culture Moment, the HBO series The Gilded Age. What did we love? (The costumes) What did we hate? (The plot). And we answer the question, how many Tony nominees can you fit in one HBO period piece? That takes us into a Deep Dive on the nature of courtship, monogamy, and how two ethical non-monogamists navigate the tricky world of heteronormativity. And as always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Randy tries to make a connection between confirmation hearings and witch trials, and Jordan wonders what's really going on with these Senators and their obsession with destroying a Black woman's reputation. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she is reclaiming her time. 

Hey kids, it's time to go back to school on this week's episode. First, we have a convo about sitcoms as social commentary, and we learn just how much TV Jordan has watched in his life. (Hint: It's embarrassingly high). Then we're talking all things Abbott Elementary. We talk about the fantastic new ABC sitcom and look at how it picks up where shows like The Office and Parks and Rec left off with it's documentary style. And we sing the praises of that killer cast, the brilliant writing, and show creator Quinta Brunson. Then after a new Stupid Quiz, we go back in time to our elementary school days, and give thanks (and a few no-thank-yous) to the teachers that shaped us into the dysfunctional queerdos we are today. As always, we end with ConsQUEERacies. Jordan has some theories about the intersection of Snatch Game and The Gilded Age, and Randy makes one up on the spot! The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she just came out to the whole school at assembly. 

Hey kids, Mister Sister is back!! This week Jordan and Randy break down Jordan's time in Australia and we try to finally understand why Jordan just can't get that accent right. Maybe a dingo ate his baby. Then, it's time for a new Stupid Quiz: And Just Like That- Oscars Edition. After that, we jump into this week's Pop Culture Moment, the new HBO Max series And Just Like That. We join up with Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte and see how 20 years later the show tries (and kinda fails) to be woke. That's gonna take us into a Deep Dive on course-correcting and what TV shows get wrong about life in New York. And, as always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Randy has a theory on the true nature of Che Diaz, and Jordan tries to understand what Xanax and And Just Like That  have in common. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she's texting us from London. 

Hey kids, we had some technical difficulties so this episode is a bit delayed, but FEAR NOT! We have a Fantastic episode for our last podcast of 2021. The full Mister Sister crew is here to wrap-up QueerAnon's very first year! We're looking back at some of the major events that happened this year in a Queer For It wrap-up with our all-star panel. Then, we're discussing the Prom episode of Canada's Drag Race and using that as a deep dive into heteronormative rituals and whether or not we should keep em or toss em. Then, we're ending with our New Queer's Resolutions!! So long, 2021. You sucked!

Hey Queerios, we've got a special episode this week. Jordan and Randy discuss the life and times of the great Stephen Sondheim. No jokes. No puns. Just remembering a giant. (Plus, a stupid quiz). 

Hey kids,WE ARE BACK! And we've got a brand new episode!! This week we're starting off with a new segment, Queer For It! We'll be looking back at what's been going on and offer a queer or a jeer on the latest pop culture highlights. After that we jump into this week's Pop Culture Moment: Thanksgiving, the hypocrisy around it, and the holiday season in general. And we'll be using that as a Deep Dive on the nature of gratitude. How do we, as queer people, maintain gratitude in a world that's getting closer and closer to being a straight up post-apocalyptic hellscape? As always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy's got some thoughts on deals Adele has made and Jordan tries to uncover how anyone can think Black Privilege is a real thing. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And dude, she's getting Adele! 

Hey kids, time for a new Q(ueer)Anon with Mister Sister!! This week we slow things down for a bit and have a nice long check-in with Jordan and Randy. Randy shares the crazy joy of seeing live theater for the first time in ages, and Jordan goes deep on what's it like to live life on standby. Then it's time for a Stupid Quiz to prep for this week's Pop Culture Moment: the new Netflix animated series, Q-Force, by Gabe Liedman. We LOVED the series and it's crazy talented cast, which includes Wanda Sykes, Sean Hayes, Laurie Metcalf, and many more. That takes us into a deep dive on the nature of stereotypes. When are they useful? When are they hurtful? And who gets to use them? (Answer: it's complicated). As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies. Randy's questioning what he's been doing for love his whole career, while Jordan has some theories about Broadway's surge of new Black plays. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she likes it shaken, AND stirred. 

Hey kids, we're back with a new Q(ueer)Anon with Mister Sister!! This week, Jordan and Randy are joined by our sister from another mister, one Mikeah Ernest Jennings!!! We jump right into a new Bottom 5 where we talk about All Stars 6, Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's balls, and we find out how RuPaul got her wings. After that, we're heading back to high school to discuss this week's Pop Culture Moment: the new Lil' Nas X song and video,  "That's What I Want," off his new album, Montero. That takes us into a deep dive on coming up queer in the minefield that is high school life. And specifically, what we all did to survive (and maybe even thrive) in the locker room gauntlet. As always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy's got some thoughts on America's resistance to bidets, and Jordan makes some guesses as to who will follow in Trump's awkwardly small footsteps. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she learned the truth at seventeen. 

Hey Queerios, We're back with an all-new episode!! This week, I'm joined once again by the one and only Randy Harrison and we've got BIG NEWS: Randy's my new co-host!! We start off looking at the Bottom 5 news stories of the week. We've got Santino having a meltdown on twitter, Laura Osnes refusing the jab, and of course, some Lil' Nas X-stasy.  After that we play a new Stupid Quiz: Asana-nah-nah and we test how well Randy knows his own Downward Facing Dog (hint: disturbingly well). That leads us into this week's Pop Culture Moment where we discuss the new Mike White written and directed, HBO MAX  Limited Series, White Lotus. And we spill the tea on all the Namas-té!! That leads us into a Deep Dive on serenity, new age healing, and the inequities around wellness. I promise it might make sense.  And of course, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies...which we both make up on the spot. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she could really use a spa day. And don't forget to check out the songs 'Rabbit Hole' by Valerie Orth, and 'It's All Connected' by Andy Bull, which are both featured each week.

Hey kids, I know it seems like we've been gone for the Last Five Years, but we're back! And the hills are alive with the sound of a brand new QueerAnon.  We've got the Wicked talented Randy Harrison!! We kick things off with this week's Bottom Five. We're talking DaBaby, Matt Damon and all the other Guys and Dolls who are having a hard knock life this week cause they can't say no when it comes to being stupid Damn Yankees all the time. Then we drive down Avenue Q for another stupid quiz called SchmigaDO. This one's a doozy for Randy, but he had it coming. Then, for this week's Pop Culture Moment, we have a Wild Party and chat about the new AppleTV Plus series, Schmigadoon! That's right, we're easing on down the road to that titular Wonderful Town to dish on what it looks like when SNL folk take on old school musical theater. (Hint: S'Wonderful). And with that as our guide we Journey to the Past for our Deep Dive and look at the good-old fashioned classic American musical. What are its Follies? Is life a Cabaret? And how do we feel about straight forms of masculinity being reenforced in a stereotypically gay genre?  As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Randy realizes a certain Actor's Union might be full of Nunsense, while Jordan has an epiphany about the Company of Netflix therapy while he's in Australia. The truth is here (pop), the truth is queer (six), and she wants to know how many bullets are left in this gun, Chino!!!! 

Hey Queerios, This week we are joined by my Broadway buddy, the one and only Reggie White! We've got a new Bottom Five, where we dish on the biggest stories of the week. (Well, last couple of weeks. We're making up for lost time. Britney, Sha'Carrie, and Bill. Oh my!) After that, Reggie plays this week's Stupid Quiz:  Fill In The Black. And for this week's Pop Culture Moment, we're looking at The Amber Ruffin Show on Peacock, and her recent segment on the abundance of lakes where black neighborhoods used to be. Hmmm...How'd that happen? (Hint: Racism). And we're using that to take us into a deep dive on Black Erasure and try to figure out why people still see us as supporting characters all the damn time. As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Reggie is trifling and forgot one, but Jordan's got some thoughts on how Zoom's popularity skyrocketed so quickly. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she's says, 'GET VAXXED ALREADY!!'

Hey kids, it's time for a new QueerAnon with Mister Sister. Dr. Shure is back to discuss this week's Bottom 5 news stories of the week. And then in celebration of it's 25th anniversary we're taking on The Birdcage in this week's, 'Is This Problematic? And we're seeing how well the movie holds up by today's standards. After that, we're having the Daddy of all conversations about the one and only Daddy of the Melonnium, Chris Meloni. We go over his impressive body...of work, to figure out what makes his Victims' Unit so damn Special. After that, we're diving deep into a convo on Daddy culture, and figuring out how today's silver foxes differ from those of yesteryear. And of course, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Caitlin tries to make sense of what's going on down under, while Jordan tries to get Covid out of his life. The truth is here. The truth is here. And she's gonna go watch an SVU marathon!

Hey Kids, WE ARE BACK! That's right. After two months away, we're here-r and we're queerer than ever. This week, we're joined by the inimitable Randolph Harrison to shoot the sh!t and talk about working our way up from the bottom. First,  we start off with our newest segment, the Bottom 5, where we take a look at 5 stories impacting the queer world. We're talking Pride, Pose, and Pennsylvania!  After that it's time for a new Stupid Quiz: 'Aussie or Naw, See!' Then, for our Pop Culture moment, we're slipping and sliding into a convo about some recent mishaps on a certain NBC game show and then Deep Diving into the Bottom of the barrel to find out who really is having the best sex. (Hint: Sorry, Straights.) Then, as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: We uncover the identities of the slithery trash-bags pushing Randy to the "Edge of Seventeen", and we finally find out what Jordan's really got going on Down Undah. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she started from the bottom. (Now's she's queer!)

Hey kids, we have an AMAZING episode for you this week. First, Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure Ru-Cap the Grand Finale of Ru-Paul's Drag Race Season 13. We give the final four their flowers and we ask the question, will Kandy actually take the crown?!?! (Answer: She betta don't). Then, We. Have. PEPPERMINT, y'all!!!!!!!! That's right. The Drag Race icon, New York staple, Broadway diva, award-winning singer/songwriter, and all-around goddess, Miss Peppermint, is in the house for an in-depth interview. We talk about her intimate new album, A Girl Like Me: Letters to My Lovers, and its array of heartfelt, sexy songs. We chat about her time in the NY drag scene, especially her weekly show Cattle Call, and how much it meant to little gayby Jordan. Then we discuss her groundbreaking, glass-ceiling-shattering performance in Broadway's Head Over Heels, which officially catapulted her to icon status. And, of course, Jordan makes her take a Stupid Quiz: Pep-or-Mint. (If you ever wanted to know why Ms. Peppermint lives for zombies, you should check this one out). Y'all, we are still pinching ourselves over this interview. As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies, but who even cares about those this week. Cause did I mention PEPPERMINT IS HERE?!?!?! The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she stans PEPPERMINT!

Hey kids, this week we've got a new guest co-host: the great Reggie White! Together we Ru-cap the reunion episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. And we ask the question...why? Then it's time for another stupid quiz: Demi (Lovato) or Demi (Moore). That leads us into this week's Pop Culture Moment, where we look at the latest controversy surrounding Ms. Lovato and a certain froyo shop in Los Angeles. Then (Trigger Warning!) we talk about Triggers, and how to navigate the crazy minefield of virtue signaling, performative allyship, and PC policing. And, as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Reggie's got some theories on Broadband and Congress. And Jordan tries to figure out what D.E.M.I. stands for. The truth is here, the truth is queer, and she's dancing with the Devil.  

Hey kids, this week our hormones are all aflutter cause we are BABY CRAZY!! First up, we Ru-cap last week's Drag Race and we ponder why Kandy Muse, who coincidentally looks like a giant baby, still has not gotten sent home!! Then we take on a new "Is This Problematic" and consider how someone as unremarkable as Prince Philip could be considered a deity by certain Native peoples. (Answer: Colonialism). Then it's time for a new Stupid Quiz we're calling "Baby Truth", and that leads us into this week's Pop Culture Moment: the recent announcement that Tan France and his husband are expecting a child! This takes us down the rabbit hole as we consider baby culture and how we childless folk can possibly navigate a world of endless baby books, playdates, and instagram updates. As always, we end the episode with these week's ConsQUEERacies: Caitlin starts putting together what's really behind her obsession with peanut butter. And Jordan wonders how much control Amazon truly has over his life. (Answer: Total). The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she just made a doo-doo in her diapies. 

This week, we have a HUGE treat for our Queerios out there. Caitlin had to step away for the week, and we miss her terribly. But stepping in, we have the inimitable star of stage and screen, Randy Harrison!!! You might know him from his stint as the Emcee in the National Tour of Cabaret, his turn as Prior Walter in the Berkeley Rep production of Angels in America, and a little iconic show called Queer as Folk in which he played Justin Taylor. We start by discussing last week's Drag Race and check to see if Kandy Muse can play a villain in a challenge as well as she does on the show. (Verdict: She can't). After that we play a new Stupid Quiz called BEADS. And for our Pop Culture Moment we're discussing the new Lil' Nas X song and music video Montero (Call Me By Your Name). And we learn how Jordan would look pole dancing down to hell the way Lil' Was X does. (Answer: Awkward). Then for our Deep Dive we go down the rabbit hole to discuss shame and how we, as queer men, have had to deal with the shame so many of our detractors want us to have. Then, as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: Randy has some thoughts on what Dry Cleaning truly is, and Jordan tries to answer the question- Why the hell does Randy still look so young? The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she DON'T CARE MUCH. GO OR STAY!!And don't forget to check out our featured artist, Valerie Orth and her song/album Rabbit Hole, and Andy Bull, whose song, It's All Connected closes out our show. 

Hey kids, this week Mister Sister (Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure) follow Alice down the rabbit hole to discuss last week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, and we answer the question: Is Kandy making a comeback? (Verdict: Please God No). Then we head over to Spotify where we're checking out the new podcast, Renegades: Born in the USA  with Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen. We're checking out their discussion on fathers and masculinity. And then deep diving into our own thoughts on masculinity and gender performance. After that, Jordan has a chat with White America in our new segment, "This Is Not a Thing". And, as always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Caitlin tries to remember life before Utica...or does she?

And she just adopted kittens. And don't forget to check out our featured artist, Valerie Orth, and her new song (and album) Rabbit Hole. 

Hey kids, this week Mister Sister (Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure) take on all things Superheroes. We start with real-life Super-Queeroes, Drag Queens, in our Ru-cap of last week's Drag Race. And we ask the question, Is it possible that Utica Queen is a lip-sync assassin? (Answer: She is not). After that we play the new Stupid Quiz: "Super. Gurl?" Then, like a hot, shirtless Jason Momoa, we dive head first into this week's Pop Culture Moment, Zach Snyder's 4-hour director's cut of Justice League, and try to figure out if and how queerness fits in a world replete with catchphrases, capes, and tight spandex. (The overlap is less apparent than you might think). After that we ask 'Fa Who?' to Debbie from HR. And, as always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Caitlin seeks answers for how to relieve her back pain, while Jordan wonders why there are so many movies that feature The Joker. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And, ooh look, she just bought some new shoes!

Hey kids, it's time for new QueerAnon with Mister Sister, and what a show we've got for you this week!! First off, we Ru-cap the all-too-important makeover challenge from last week's Drag Race and we get to see how Utica embodies the swagger of a black woman like Symone. (Verdict: Awkwardly). Then it's time for a new Stupid Quiz: Grammy's Schmammy's. And for this week's Pop Culture Moment, we're turning super straight. Correction: We're talking about the new social media movement, "Super Straight," and using that to lead us into a chat about how we, Mister Sister themself,  identify as queer people. As always, we end with ConsQUEERacies: Jordan's curious about who's actually behind this year's Oscar noms. And Caitlin questions the real reason we switch our clocks forward every Spring. The truth is here. The truth is queer. And she won't stop using WIRE HANGERS!!

This week, Jordan and Caitlin (aka Mister Sister) are thrilled to have a new Ru-Cap, and this week it's the legendary Snatch Game!! Who crushed it? Who choked? And who will be the subject of this week's Ru-logy? Then, we turn our attention to Tyler Perry's House, where apparently Prince Harry and Duchess Megan have been hiding out, to discuss the explosive interview they had with one Oprah Winfrey. And for our Deep Dive, we're looking at the concept of "passing". When does it help? When does it hurt? And can't we all just leave lil' Archie alone?!?! As always, we end with our ConsQUEERacies: Jordan's thinking of projects that might involve Madea meeting the Queen of England. And Caitlin asks the age old question, 'Who let the dogs out?' The truth is here. The truth is queer. And her slip is showing.

Hey kids! This week we're premiering a new segment called, "Is this Problematic?" where we'll be looking at modern day appropriation and seeing if being woke is actually just being whack. After that we play the new Stupid Quiz: "Cinder-Fella," which takes us into this week's Pop Culture Moment, the 1997 tv-movie adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, starring Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston. After that we take on the Princess Trope for our Deep Dive, and as always, we end with this week's ConsQUEERacies: What's Caitlin's theory on the true insidious nature behind those vitamins we take everyday? And Jordan tries to figure out what Tinkerbell and Taylor Swift have in common. PLUS, make sure to check out our featured artist, Andy Bull, and his song "It's All Connected," available on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you get your music.

Welcome back, Queerios. This week, Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure (aka Mister Sister) dive into another exciting Ru-Cap and answer the question, if a Symone falls in the forest, does she have to lip-sync??? After that, it's time for another Stupid Quiz: Whitney, Britney, or Sh*tney! Then, for our Pop Culture Moment, this week we're looking at the recent Sherry Pie interview on the Tamron Hall talk show, which segues into a Deep Dive convo on the nature of Cancel Culture. What is it? Is it real? And do we think Louis C.K. deserves another chance? (Hint: Not really). After that, we turn our attention to Texas and ask the eternal question, Fa Who? And of course, we end with our ConsQUEERacies. What's up with February being so short? And who really sabotaged Ted Cruz's Cancun getaway? The truth is out there. And she owes us five dollars!!

RuPaul, Britney, VDay, OH MY!! On this week's episode Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure offer a RuCap of the latest episode of Drag Race and investigate whether or not Drag Queens can do improv. Quick answer: Outlook not so good. After that, we take a look at the new documentary special, Framing Britney Spears, and find out if #FreeBritney is a legit movement or one more of the bowel variety. Then we dive into Pop Feminism and look at the crazy double standard that women in the industry face. And we wonder when the hell we're gonna see more male pop stars in thongs and bikinis. And as always, we reveal our latest ConsQueeracies: Caitlin gets at the insidious intentions of Dexter Morgan, and Jordan has some harsh words for Your Friend's Grandma. The truth is out there. And she's looking fierce, henny!

We're back! This week on the podcast, we offer our weekly Ru-cap of RuPaul's Drag Race. We bask in the glory that is all things Olivia Lux, Caitlin pulls her earrings off for Utica, and we try to understand how one of our fave queens got sent home so early!! Then for our Pop Culture Moment we're discussing the new Netflix docuseries, Night Stalker. And we try to figure out why 'Merica seems to be so obsessed with all these murder docs. (For the record, we're obsessed too). Plus, stupid quizzes, we take our bras off, we trash-talk the snow, and we offer our latest Consqueeracies. Jordan theorizes where Marjorie Taylor-Green actually came from, and Caitlin sees the darker side of Frosty the Snowman. It's a good one, kids!

Oh no!! We had some technical difficulties this week and lost the episode that we had recorded. BUT, always seeking the silver lining, we decided to dig into an archive of shows we did on another platform last year. In this one we reviewed Mariah Carey’s Christmas Special and its seemingly infinite array of plunging necklines. Plus, a discussion about Christmas music. Shure loves it. Barbour, not so much. It’s a Christmas music death match and only one will survive. Plus, New Queer’s Resolutions, ConsQUEERacies, and much more.

This week, Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure (aka Mister Sister) take a look at the new-ish Disney Pixar film, Soul. What made our souls want to travel to the Great Beyond? And what kept us longing for an Earth Badge? Plus, how did we feel about a black man spending the majority of the film outside his own body? (Hint: We didn't love it). Then we jump into a deep dive around the topic of body swap movies and we pick apart the advantages and the limitations of the genre. As always, we dissect the latest episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, which included the first elimination of the season! And of course, we offer this week's Con-squeer-acies. What does Caitlin think Elon Musk was up to before he became the richest man in the world? And Jordan tries to unwrap the mystery of what's really going on with Ted Cruz's beard. You want answers and we are queer for it!

In this week's episode, Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure offer a recap of RuPaul's Drag Race S13 Episode 3. We talk about who we're dragging, who we're digging, and look back on the late great Tandi Iman Dupree. After that, we jump into all things Bridgerton for our Pop Culture Moment. Get your tea and crumpets out ladies, cause Mister Sister is GOING IN on all things aristocracy, courtship, and some questionable ways they've incorporated race. After that, we take a Deep Dive into the notion of rewriting history. What do The Imitation Game, Braveheart, and Captain America have in common (other than very hot leading men)? And why is Green Book so damn obsessed with fried chicken? And as always, we end with our weekly Cons-Queer-acies. Who's glitter-bombing Joe Biden? And is Michelle Obama actually a superhero? We answer all these questions and more on this week's episode!

In our very first podcast episode, Mister Sister (aka Jordan Barbour and Dr. Caitlin Shure) talk about the first two episodes of the 13th season of RuPaul's Drag Race in our Pop Culture Review. Who are we digging? Who are we dragging? And who do we think has a shot at the crown. After that, we take a Deep Dive into the world of drag and discuss one of RuPaul's most famous sayings: "We're all born naked and the rest is drag." What is drag? Or, more appropriately, what isn't? We end our show with our weekly Con-squeer-acies. Caitlin tries to get at the malevolent intentions of a chin zit, while Jordan has some pretty daring theories as to what was actually motivating the Capitol rioters on January 6th. The truth is coming out. And she wants the world to know!!
