  • Do something you like!!

    They clearly just don’t like drag race which is fine don’t watch it go do something else but the fact they keep coming back to something they don’t like is beyond me, plus some of the things they say are actually disgusting, and they really need to stop complaining about the “crazy fandom” they are apart of it.

  • Drag race content I actually enjoy?

    I don’t watch drag race anymore, but I’ve come to really enjoy this podcast. I love Kayla and Derek’s perspectives even if I disagree. I appreciate that they’re honest and genuine in their evaluations of the show. They always make me laugh, and even though I don’t enjoy the show, I always enjoy hearing other people’s opinions and especially from people in the fandom who can acknowledge the flaws. I really recommend it if you want drag race opinions and recaps without the toxicity.

These two pair incredibly well for this podcast, Kayla is dry and critical but coming from a loving place and Derek is peppy and critical but coming from a loving place (lmao). Their opinions and personalities work well together and their conversations are more interesting and nuanced than just discussing what’s going on in All Stars 9. Great podcast, wonderful to listen to througho... more
