This week on RulaskaThoughts, Joe and Robert unpack RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 3 — an installment that inspires far more commentary about the state of the franchise than about the challenge itself. Along the way, they detour through internet discourse, celebrity behavior, and why Drag Race increasingly feels like a legacy show coasting on goodwill rather than innovation. Joe opens by apologizing — not for the episode, but for how little the episode itself deserves attention. Both agree RDR Live wasn't actively painful, but also wasn't good — merely another in a long line of mediocre acting challenges. Juicy Love Dion wins for fully disappearing into character, even if she wasn't the funniest. Athena Love Dion's hosting performance sparks disagreement: Joe finds it serviceable and thankless, while Robert reads visible nervousness and lack of authority. Mandy Mango's critiques reignite the recurring Drag Race issue: queens being punished for doing exactly what's written in the script. The lip-sync song choice is widely panned as fundamentally ill-suited for a “lip-sync for your life,” regardless of who technically won. Joe lays out what he sees as a pattern of soft bullying toward Athena across multiple episodes. Evidence cited: Repeated exclusion from team selection Roles being denied without discussion or competition Other queens weaponizing “you should want this” logic against her Age-based digs becoming an easy, recurring punchline Joe questions why Athena is treated as the default host when other queens (notably Jane Doe) have equivalent hosting credentials. Briar Blush is positioned as a key instigator, particularly in steering Athena toward roles designed to undermine her. Robert counters that Athena may unintentionally fuel the dynamic through visible frustration and exaggerated reactions, making herself an easy target. Both acknowledge the possibility that off-camera behavior may be influencing how the cast responds — but stress that the edit has not justified the treatment so far. Joe argues the problem is not the cast, but entrenched production leadership. Drag Race is compared to Saturday Night Live: Long-running, culturally important Run by aging leadership increasingly out of sync with audience taste Resistant to structural change Discussion of why Drag Race scripts remain weak despite access to: UCB Groundlings Queer comedy writers who could elevate the material with minimal investment The absence of meme culture is flagged as a major warning sign — Drag Race no longer drives online conversation the way it once did. Alaska's recent comments about drag queens no longer releasing music are cited as another indicator that the franchise has lost its grip on the “gay dollar.” Joe dismantles the argument that Drag Race is “too hard to find,” noting it has always lived on basic cable. The real issue, both agree, is diminishing reward — viewers don't feel like they're missing a cultural moment anymore. Unlike earlier eras, skipping an episode now carries no social consequence. Next week's runway mash-up challenge is previewed with skepticism — familiar concepts repackaged yet again. The upcoming talent show inspires preemptive dread over self-serious spoken-word tracks and faux-quirky personas. Joe predicts certain queens are currently protected by “filler eliminations” — but their time is coming. This episode of RulaskaThoughts becomes less about RDR Live and more about Drag Race's identity crisis: a once-vital franchise struggling under the weight of its own longevity. While Joe and Robert still clearly care — and still watch — the conversation makes clear that love has shifted from excitement to obligation, and from celebration to critique.

Joe and Lauri are back with their immediate, no-filter reactions to RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 3. In this first-response episode of Big Takeaway, they break down a divisive RDR Live challenge, debate the judging, and ask the uncomfortable question: does this challenge even work anymore? Joe and Lauri assess whether the right queens landed in the top and bottom, and whether the correct winner and eliminated queen were chosen A spirited debate over Jane Don't vs. Juicy Love Dion, including how expectations, nerves, and runway presentation factor into the judges' decisions Frustration with the overall quality of the sketches, with comparisons to Saturday Night Live that do the queens no favors A larger critique of the RDR Live challenge itself, including whether it's fair—or even viable—for the current generation of queens Thoughts on performance anxiety, especially from queens expected to excel in comedy A breakdown of the lip sync, including whether track record ultimately determined the outcome Growing concern about what this episode signals for the upcoming Snatch Game Joe argues that RDR Live may be a fundamentally flawed challenge—one that asks queens to succeed at a format that even seasoned professionals struggle to execute well. Lauri agrees, pointing out that without proper rehearsal, writing support, or clear comedic direction, the challenge sets many contestants up to fail. Together, they question whether Drag Race should retire the format altogether—or radically rethink how it's produced. “At a certain point, you're not judging talent—you're judging who failed the least.” The full, moment-by-moment Drag Race Recap—with deeper analysis, runway discussion, and extended commentary—lives exclusively on Patreon and Apple Podcasts Subscriptions throughout the season.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét recap RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 2. They talk team formation drama, the “leftover group,” and whether Drag Race is ever really a team sport.

On the runway, they call out wearing the same wig twice in a row, the designer knockoff trend, and pick the best and worst looks of the week.

Joe and Robert are back for a midweek check-in on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 18, Episode 2—and things quickly spiral from Girl Group fatigue to larger questions about whether Drag Race has officially lost the plot. Along the way, they unpack the ethics of watching the show in 2026, RuPaul's role in the franchise machine, and why communal viewing might be the last thing keeping Drag Race alive. Joe recounts a chaotic Whole Foods run and sets the tone with some early-morning nonsense Robert responds to lingering “allegations” made against him across the Afterthought Media universe A deep dive into why the Girl Group challenge continues to underwhelm—and actively embarrass—the queens A comparison between Drag Race's creative stagnation and long-running institutions like SNL and The Simpsons Joe argues that RuPaul has become more “face of the brand” than active creative force—and what that means for the show's future A discussion on whether Drag Race is designed to be watched socially rather than alone Robert predicts the upcoming RDR Live challenge will once again fall into the show's creative rut A listener asks whether there is an ethical way to consume Drag Race in 2026 Joe and Robert debate Paramount+, corporate media, and the moral gymnastics of still loving a problematic franchise They explore alternatives like bar viewing parties, supporting local queer spaces, and tipping local queens Joe gives a heartfelt thank-you to a listener whose voicemail arrived at exactly the right moment The “Mr. Tendernism” TikTok barbecue controversy as an analogy for RuPaul's current role in Drag Race Why viral fame, brand dilution, and overexposure eventually turn on everyone A brief but pointed check-in on the ongoing Ginger Minj discourse—and why the stories keep unraveling Nostalgia for Drag Race moments that genuinely shocked even production Joe and Robert agree: Drag Race no longer feels like an event. With challenges recycled, stakes lowered, and the franchise stretched thin across platforms and continents, the show may need a radical reset—or at least fewer All Stars seasons—to regain its spark. Still, as long as the queens and the community remain, there's something worth holding onto.

They break down the scream mini challenge, the unconventional materials design challenge, runway critiques, hair trends, and a brand-new contender for worst runway walk.

In today's episode, Amanda drinks a Cutwater Lime Margarita with drag queen, actress, and model Makayla Couture. Makayla is a Toronto-born performer whose artistry began in the halls of Earl Haig Secondary School, where she trained as a theatre major in the Claude Watson program. After discovering drag as a powerful form of self-expression, she skyrocketed onto the national stage, being featured on one of the most famous episodes of Canada's Drag Race, in Season 2, becoming a runner-up contestant on OUTtv's Call Me Mother, and most recently securing second place on Canada's Drag Race Season 5.

We're back talking about Drag Race Season 15! This season is massive, and there's so much to talk about including storylines that are just starting to get off the ground, disrespect towards certain queens, and some folks who are cutting up while others aren't laughing. We get into the details of the fashion houses of Visage, Kressley, and Matthews, a terribly constructed girl group challenge, and a reboot of a classic that wasn't so amazing the second time around.We had a lot to get through, and a lot to talk about, so let's get loose again! Twitch
Season Finale: “He's Playing the Long Game” Joe and Nathan close out the 2025 season of The Rumor Mill with a chaotic blend of heartfelt listener love, Eurotrip plans, and Blackstone-fueled madness. Nathan's packing his bags (and possibly his Grindr grid) for Europe, while Joe swears he's “totally straight now” and absolutely not talking about Jeremy or Carlo—except, of course, he is. From ghosted text threads to imaginary girlfriends, Joe gives a full report on his German heartbreak saga as Nathan tries (and fails) to keep the show on track. The duo takes listener voicemails covering everything from Drag Race Season 2 nostalgia to Real Housewives rankings, with shoutouts to Travon, Kevin, Katie, and the beloved “Elder Gay from Kentucky.” Joe even summons the long-dormant Mites for an update that veers into horror-movie territory before unveiling the return of the one and only Mr. Blackstone, who tears into a new listener's fashion sense with trademark venom (and suspiciously German admiration). Between fake news of Jane Goodall's demise, spontaneous voicemails, and a failed live call to Evan, the episode spirals in the best possible Rumor Mill way—equal parts chaos, camp, and catharsis. Before signing off, Joe and Nathan reflect on their chemistry, their listeners, and their growing legend as the internet's favorite duo to dish about everything except actual drag rumors. Joe's “I'm straight now” era—complete with girlfriend Aiden and denial. Nathan's European adventures (and the hunt for Eurocock). Listener voicemails from Trevon, Kevin, Katie, and Sean. The return of the Mites (with unexpected tragedy). Mr. Blackstone reviews listener Brendan's looks—and maybe civilization itself. Fake news of Jane Goodall's “death” and Joe's wild theory about podcast espionage. Talk of the Rulaska Thoughts future and potential format changes. A sweet farewell from Nathan before his trip—and a teaser that Rumor Mill will return. “I only express my emotions on shows. I never say how I really feel… which is probably why everyone's mad at me.” Got thoughts, theories, or voicemails for next season? Leave a SpeakPipe or DM @joebetance.

This week is a doozy, and we talked for a long time about it!

Latch your steamer trunk and press your travel slacks, as Trixie and Katya summon you for a grand tour through the jeweled harbors of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7, Episodes 9 and 10. Like discerning aesthetes adrift upon the sapphire sea, they linger in reverie over the operatic revels of the Divine Comedy challenge, then recline in first-class velvet banquettes to consider, with equal parts mirth and melancholy, the metamorphic splendor of the makeover episode. Their discourse gleams with the intricacy of freshly-blown Murano glass, refracting triumphs radiant as a Tuscan dawn and humiliations heavy as an Amalfi dusk. Let your eyes and ears wander as their recollections drift like perfumed zephyrs along the cliffs of the Cinque Terre.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
The stars have spoken and celestial forces have aligned as Trixie and Katya gaze backwards in time through the planetary veil to Episode 8 of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7. According to famed Houston Chronicle astrologer and self-proclaimed inventor of tangerines Madame Claire Voyánt, this was the episode where destiny shuffled the queens into roles both triumphant and tragic, their fates written in glitter across the firmament of the universe. As foretold by the primordial deity Uranus, the cosmic portents reveal an eclipse of glamour during the “Conjoined Queens” makeover challenge, where angelic twins were forged from duct tape, desperation, and questionable comedic taste (it was a different time). Stars burned brightly for the triumphant return of Trixie, while others faded into the planetary shadows of elimination, their runway destinies sealed by the fickle hands of fate.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
A storm of lace bodices and shattered dreams erupts as Trixie and Katya revisit Episodes 5 and 6, where the workroom transformed into a bloody battlefield and destiny itself teetered on stilettos. Katya, radiant yet tormented, recalls the soaring ecstasy of comedic victory before plunging into the abyss of crippling self-doubt, her every glance a silent scream for redemption. With the dual crucibles of Shakespearean tragedy and a sinister Snatch Game, crowns were forged and egos were obliterated. The legendary Ru Hollywood Stories challenge unfurled like a telenovela within a telenovela, blurring fiction and truth in a tempest of wigs and weeping. In this operatic retelling, Trixie and Katya render the runway not as mere fabric and dime store wigs, but as an altar upon which laughter, heartbreak, and RuPaul's merciless decree were sacrificed in the name of drag divinity.

This evening's Auberge du Bald prix fixe menu opens with a velvety consommé of critiques simmered to perfection as Trixie and Katya revisit Episode 4 of Season 7, ladling out a slightly tart first course of humiliation and an amuse-bouche of sweet nostalgia. Before the main course, light humiliation is flambéed tableside, its acrid smoke mingling delightfully with champagne bubbles of self-deprecation. For the main course, the producers and RuPaul are folded into the cassoulet de canard with rare Austrian truffles—transforming the dish into a life-altering lesson in flavor, foie gras, and friendship. For dessert, a traditional crème brûlée is served with genuine gratitude on a gilded platter, thus concluding an episode that is a shining banquet of memory, misery, and the miracle of drag destiny.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
You are cordially invited to the first Drag Race Season 7 Reminiscence, a decadent audio dégustation featuring Miss Trixie Mattel and Madame Katya Zamolodchikova. The first course is an amuse-bouche of backstage trauma, served slightly chilled with a reduction of self-doubt and chicken coop wigs, as the dolls recount their entrances in RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7. For the main course: tender morsels of personal revelation, seasoned with delusion, resilience, and the subtle bitterness of un-reimbursed oversize luggage fees. The feast shall conclude with a dessert featuring a rich soufflé of genuine love, appreciation, and grace—deflated, of course, by the cruel gusto of Michelle Visage's withering critiques.
