‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×10’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars, we said goodbye to Eureka after the queens had to design and create a new animated character to add to the drag tots. I enjoyed that the idea of school and toddler was embedded into most of the sections of the episode and I did […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×09’ Review

by Rhys Payne

There has been a lot of discussions online about the differences between a normal series of Drag Race with the snatch game and Drag Race All-Stars seasons that have the snatch game of love. While I personally prefer the regular snatch game, I do believe that there needs to be a difference between the challenges […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×08’ Review

by Rhys Payne

In last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars, the queens had to write and perform an original verse to “Show Up Queen” which contained a heavy focus on activism and standing up for what you believe in. Trinity was declared the rightful winner after choreographing her whole team, creating moving lyrics regarding her […]

‘The Movies That Made Us: Season 2’ Review (Netflix)

by Rhys Payne

A little while ago I reviewed season one of The Movies That Made Us and I really enjoyed it; so I was super-excited when it was announced that we were getting a second season of this show. The creative team behind the series The Movies That Made Us have created the perfect formula for a […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×07’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I have to admit that last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars was not one of my favourites. The queens were instructed to over-act in an American Horror Story inspired sketch which to me came across as very slow and dragged out. I can’t comprehend how Kylie was declared the winner as Michelle […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×06’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I still can’t get my head around the pink table discussion challenge from last weeks episode…. I struggle to understand how the queens were supposed to perform as their drag personas, in full drag but real and personable; surely that’s the complete opposite of what a drag queen is supposed to be? This challenge led […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×05’ Review

by Rhys Payne

If you love a spectacle as much as I do, then you would have thoroughly enjoyed last weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars where the queens had to cover some of Ru Paul’s most iconic songs in the style of another celebrity! The production value on this episode was amazing and included wonderful […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×04’ Review

by Rhys Payne

I don’t care what anyone says, I don’t believe that it was the other queens on Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6 that sent Silky Nutmeg Gnache home last week but instead it was the fans. After her original season, Silky received horrendous amounts of hate from the fans as they thought she was loud […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6×03’ Review

by Rhys Payne

What a start to Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars 6 we have had this year! We were given two episodes in one day which contained the iconic talent show and then the first ball of the season. We have had loads of drama and every queen has showcased some level of evolution since their original […]

Wow aren’t we lucky, not only was it announced that Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars season six would be airing on Netflix in the UK but also we got two episodes in one day! In the last episode, we said goodbye to Serena Cha Cha who had shown incredible progress since their original season and […]

A new season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race All-Stars was announced and we know what that means … the weekly reviews are back! For those who have not watched All-Stars before this show is an opportunity for queens who did not do as well in their original seasons to come back and redeem themselves. Due […]

‘Special: Season 2’ Review (Netflix)

by Rhys Payne

Just over a year ago, Adele stunned the world by posting a picture on Instagram for her 32nd birthday which showed off her incredible seven stone weight loss in a black mini-dress. She was not the only celeb/person who has taken the time over lockdown to go on a fitness journey. Rebel Wilson (most known […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×16’ Review

by Rhys Payne

We have finally reached the final episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race! This has been a season that has created some incredibly iconic moments like Lala Ri’s bag dress compared to Utica’s sleeping bag outfit or Symone’s powerful BLM outfit. We also had the first-ever trans man competing on the show (Gottmik) who has given […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×15’ Review

by Rhys Payne

This weeks episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race was not a traditionally normal one. As we are only one episode away from the finale of the season, the queen met up (albeit virtually) to talk about the season and recap some of the most iconic moments. I talked in a previous review about how this […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×14’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Last week saw both Kandy Muse and Olivia Lux in the bottom two with Olivia been told to leave the competition. She had only been doing drag for just over a year so to get this far in the competition (beating out drag icons such as Tina Burner and Tamisha Imann) is incredible! I can’t […]

‘Prank Encounters: Season 2’ Review (Netflix)

by Rhys Payne

A little while ago I reviewed the first season of Prank Encounters that was hosted by the enchanting Gaten Mazzerato. I hadn’t heard anything about the show since, so I assumed that there would be no second season but to my surprise, Netflix released another season! This is a show that is somewhat similar to […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×13’ Review

by Rhys Payne

People are still talking about last weeks roast, due to the accusations of body shaming by Utica, who went home. She has since apologised for her ‘jokes’ but I am sure this is not how she would want to be remembered in the competition. Instead, I hope people will remember her for her iconic fashion, […]

‘Nailed It: Season 5’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Nailed It has created its own niche in the television market, so much so that I can’t imagine the show coming to an end any time soon! There are so many tweaks and alterations season by season (like, for example, pairing the contestants up – which they did for this specific season), to make the […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×12’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Due to the few early episodes where we met the queens in one vs one lip-syncs and the proceeding episodes where no one went home, this season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race seems to be never ending. At this rate, the finale episode (I wonder if they will do a big scale event or not) […]

‘Waffles and Mochi’ Review (Netflix)

by Rhys Payne

On March 21st it was ‘International Puppet Day’ which celebrated ventriloquists all over the world (don’t worry I didn’t know either!) and I have recently reignited my love for puppetry as an art form and how entertaining it can be done… if done right. Now I love the likes of Jeff Dunham and Avenue Q, […]

‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race 13×11’ Review

by Rhys Payne

Last week episodes of Ru Paul’s Drag Race had a theme that ran through the mini, main and lip-sync song which made it must more congestive viewing-wise! We also saw the very controversial elimination of Denali whom many thought would win the competition. If you remember, Denali was told to leave after Olivia made her […]
