  • The Boulets would hate this

    Why bother doing a podcast on a show you seem to dislike? And have the audacity to take “Hello Uglies” from the Boulets. Please don’t ever do this again. There are so many good podcasts, including Post Mortem from the Boulets, that actually love Dragula. Just no.

  • Do these people even like the Dragula?

    If you love having two people feed of each others’ negative energy, Hello Uglies is for you! The hosts don’t seem to enjoy watching Dragula. Half of each podcast episode is spent complaining about the show, and a quarter is the hosts accusing each other of gaslighting. The other quarter of the show I would consider actual commentary, but the hosts (especially Lauri) don’t like any of the contestants. It’s fine to not like floorshow looks, but give us some explanation of why you don’t like them, ... more

  • Why?

    Why recap a show you don’t like about a genre you don’t know anything about or care to understand? I really wanted to like this but Laurie’s opinions are just awful and hearing the constant voice clearing is unnerving

  • Love the show but worried about downhill spiral

    I absolutely love Joe and Lauri together and live for their content. I’m really saddened with the direction the podcast has gone in with the Drag Race podcasting federation bit and the not even releasing the finale and reunion eps of this season to the public feed.

    This show is great fun! Joe and lauri give a hilarious take on the show with a tongue in cheek approach, while showing a real affection for the sauce material. This is part of the Afterthought media network on Patreon and all the shows are really great and well worth a listen. I highly recommend dipping your toes into this and all of Joe Betance podcasts. Lauri roddenkamp is a star of glitz, glamour, gossip and gore!
