Join Chels, Paige, Eoin, and Jesse as they dish about their favorite unscripted stories. After the tumultuous talent show, episode 7 sees the judges regain control of the game and our Queens are flustered when presented with the Rate-A-Queen results. They're then paired together and tasked with creating comedic political ads. Some bottom Queens rise to the occasion while our top Queens falter. In a fun change of format, episode 8 gave us the Snatch Game of Love Island and viewers were presented with some of the best impressions in half a decade. Brooke Shields steals the show as she makes her runway debut as a Guest Judge. Plus, our hosts prove to be psychic as they ponder the boot order for the second half of the season. Let us know who you think will be America's Next Drag Superstar! Listen to Jesse talk Jawbreaker on Female Gaze: The Film Club!ChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...

Join divas Jesse and Chels as they dive into new developments in daytime and recap our favorite stories. Queen of Daytime Susan Lucci is out promoting her new memoir La Lucci and made a stop at former costar and talk show host Kelly Ripa's podcast, where Ripa revealed her and husband Mark Consuelos are developing two All My Children movies at Lifetime and ask Susan if she'd reprise her role as Erica Kane. They also lament the loss of The Kelly Clarkson Show and Sherri and wonder what this means for daytime and what could replace them. Our hosts dive deep into season two of Beyond the Gates. Anita's breast cancer storyline is on the front and center and our hosts discuss the importance of this storyline and how it's educating viewers on this serious healthcare issue through their partnership with Know Your Lemons.   They also rundown all of the major couples and storylines and welcome two of their favorite Emmy-winning soap veterans (and hotties) to the canvas. Recommended MediaSusan Lucci's memoir La LucciKim Zimmer, Laura, Wright, & Bradley Cole Guiding Light Reunion w/ Michael FairmanGated Podcast w/ Kat & SharaiDishin' DaysFollow ChelsAcross the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon PodcastThe Q Division: A James Bond Movie Marathon PodcastBlueskyLetterboxdSerializd InstagramChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...

Join Chels, Paige, Eoin, and Jesse as they yap about their favorite unscripted stories. This week, we welcome our friend and writer Brian Richards to the pod to breakdown the mess that is The Traitors. From the unconscious bias running rampant through the castle to the nasty roundtables, we cover it all. Episode Six saw the isolation of Ron Funches and how unconscious bias leads to double standards at the roundtable. Episode Seven saw history repeating itself when a guy named Rob decided to turn on his fellow traitors so he could control the game. Is this season salvageable and will they ever enforce the Traitors oath? Follow BrianBlueskyInstagramRead Brian's WorkChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...

Tensions rise as queens are forced to work with people they don't like and we learn who can dish it but cannot take it. Episode 4 serves us another design challenge as our queens are forced to mash-up two iconic red carpet looks and battle their bestie in a "who wore it best" runway showdown with rotating judge Law Roach and guest judge Annaleigh Ashford. Our drama reaches a tipping point as Briar ruffles every feather in the werkroom, Kenya ruveals some great personal history, and an unforgettable moment happens on the main stage. Let us know who you think will be America's Next Drag Superstar! Follow ChelsAcross the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon PodcastThe Q Division: A James Bond Movie Marathon PodcastBlueskyLetterboxdSerializd InstagramFollow PaigeBlueskyInstagramSubstack Across the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon PodcastFollow EoinInstagramBlueskyOne of Us Network Follow Jesse as "Jo"InstagramBlueChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...

Join Chels, Paige, Eoin, and Jesse as they yap about their favorite unscripted stories. The Traitors is back and Peacock is wild for dropping five episodes the first two weeks but not as wild as our contestants. Week one introduced us to our new players, and quickly established that this is not a gamer-friendly season. While we fell in love with our Traitors in the turret, especially during the "Murder in Plain Sight", but the new "Secret Traitor" twist quickly proved to be a flop. Week two gave us highs and lows, with our Traitors continuing to delight but unconscious bias and actively bad behavior made for a difficult viewing experience. Production's poor casting choices were on full display at both roundtables when our two most controversial contestants showed their true colors. Plus, we wishfully cast more Drag Race contestants onto the show and try to spot the differences in any of these missions. Ginger Minj Lying For No ReasonBeyond the Gates InstagramChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...

Join Chels, Paige, Eoin, and Jesse as they dish about their favorite unscripted stories. RuPaul's Drag Race is back for its 18th season and the fam is here to breakdown our new batch of queens. The premiere surprised and thrilled us as the show went back to its roots with a design challenge instead of a talent show. The girls showed off their looks created from repurposed materials for guest judge Cardi B, and Cardi took the time to honor the dolls in her life. The second episode saw the return of girl groups, with the top two queens from the premiere picking their groups, leaving a group of leftover queens in the dust. After a tense battle for disco, pop, and punk, the queens performed for guest judge Dove Cameron, while having fun with the runway theme "Your Neck, Your Back, Your Pussy, and Your Crack". Let us know who you think will be America's Next Drag Superstar! Follow ChelsAcross the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon PodcastThe Q Division: A James Bond Movie Marathon PodcastBlueskyLetterboxdSerializd InstagramFollow PaigeBlueskyInstagramSubstack Across the Whoniverse: A Doctor Who Marathon PodcastFollow EoinInstagramBlueskyOne of Us Network Follow Jesse as "Jo"InstagramChelsAcross the WhoniverseThe Q DivisionBlueskySerializdPaigeBlueskyIGSubstackAcross the WhoniverseEoinIGBlueskyOne of Us NetworkJesse as "Jo"IGFollow Us:IGBluesky...
