(featuring occasional forays into movies, television shows, and air-conditioning) The New York Times called them models, moguls, actors, influencers, drag queens, RuPaul's Drag Race contestants, and even humanoids.

  • I can re listen to these episodes and they bring me joy repeatedly. I am still working on catching up on the previous years of episodes. I love these two queens so much.

  • BINGING

    I’ve been a fan for so long but I’ve only just started listening (from the beginning) recently. It’s on at work, on the drive home, in the shower. I LAUGH. Trixie does not let Katya finish a story, so many cliffhangers. Cum and cock and balls are brought up as much as on the workaholics dudes pod.

  • Chill, Katya

    When Katya is super hyper and interjects the same nonsense phrases throughout the pod, it becomes hard to listen. Couldn’t get through the last one. And I love Tom Hanks.

  • Emilia Pérez’s BIGGEST Promotion

    I really enjoy this podcast…for the most part. Have listened to 3/5 of it while working this year alone. That said, I’m not listening in order and surprised at how many times Emilia Pérez gets mentioned. Especially by someone who doesn’t enjoy musicals, yet the obsession with attacking it is interesting. I could go on about why it is one of the most awarded films in history and also what doesn’t work about it. What I’m curious about is why it lives rent free in Katya’s head and why all the free ... more

Alyssa Edwards and the Woeful Wigs of Purgatory

Candis Cayne’s Resplendent Institute for Joint Health
Q: If you had all the money in the world, because one time I heard Margot Robbie talk about iTanya and she said, what you'll learn in Hollywood is there's never enough money and never enough time. Yeah. I think that's kind of true. But if you had unlimited time and money, what would you want to make?
Cayne says she would make Chaser, a funny romantic comedy with horror elements about trans culture and the men who love trans people. She also wants Mary Productions to support other trans filmmakers and is developing a trans film festival with Outfest.
