I think Alaska said somewhere that the producers told them to wear red within a week of the finale. And a bunch of queens already had their outfits ready and said f*ck you im wearing this
So the thing about the Dry-Fit shorts, is that that's the same runway that Bob wore the robot catsuit from Amazon. And Bob has said the reason she packed that, was because she didn't think the roller girl thing was going to be a full runway category; she thought it was for a mini challenge. So if Bob was under that impression it's possible Cynthia was similarly mistaken as well. (It's still a bad look but for a mini challenge who cares?)
About the red dresses: one of the queens (Alaska possibly) dished years ago that they were all told to wear red, but then Detox turned up in her B&W look and they said to them all “ok you don’t have to stick to the red theme then”. So a few switched to something else but most stayed with the red dress they had already chosen.
Avaryl and Andrew!! I just want to say that I have been watching the two of you since I was 17 years old and I'm now turning 25 this year! You two were literally an integral part of my late teens to the point where I joke to my boyfriend that I have know the two of you since high school LOL! I'll always be a fan
i love that you brought up "why can't we find people who can sing and dance" because i was JUST telling my girlfriend after we watched singin in the rain together "yknow, there used to be triple threats, people who could sing dance AND act. now we got a-listers who aren't even a single threat."
Alaska said on her podcast that they were given the red memo last minute, and most of the girls already had their outfits made by then and didn't want to change them.
its a testament to the talent and charisma of the cast that CDR season 1 is so enjoyable despite the judging seeming like its on a completely seperate plane of reality
27:45 if you want a Santino-style judge on the panel, then I think you’ll really enjoy the second design challenge of season 16. The guest judge was Law Roach and he was incredible!
Knowing Laganga didn't have her medicine as a viewing experience is as follows: you're just as annoyed, but sometimes you feel bad about being so annoyed
According to Alaska's podcast they were all asked to wear red but only a few days before so queens who had already planned/bought outfits just wore those anyways
On the conversation of refreshing the judges, I know you havent been watching S16 but theres been a lot of interest recently wanting TS Madison, Law Roach, and Nicole Byer as the permanent judges as opposed to Ross and Carson. I know TS is already in the rotation officially but we need more of her, honestly.
For Summer Camp, I hope you'll eventually cover this weird camp movie from my childhood, Camp Nowhere, about a bunch of rowdy kids and teens who don't wanna go to boring college credit camps, so they trick their parents into letting them go to this 'new camp' where the kids are basically all by themselves, save for a 'counselor' played by the legendary Christopher Lloyd into acting as a 'despicable adult'. I remember Parent's Day bit just being the best scene of the movie! When their parents visit and they quickly have to swap the camp from looking like a Broadway Theater camp, to a Military-style camp, to a Computer Camp where they accidentally hack into the CIA. I also remember it had a banging original song for the closing credits, back when 90's movies would actually make songs for their movies instead just licensing everything.
I loved Camp Nowhere and fully thought that is how summer camp would be. I think Meatballs/Camp Nowhere/Salute Your Shorts really warped my view of how Summer Camp/sleep away Camp would be.
oh yeahhh! and if i remember correctly, Kate Mulgrew and Jonathan Frakes played two of the parents of said ragtag group of kids (kinda funny that they are both from Star Trek)
about revisiting season 6 🙈 idunno im always so saddened about how they treated laganja it always almost verges on bullying and she exits in such a way that gives no closure to her relationship with anybody but besides her the cast the talent the drama is just beyond iconique
What’s really interesting about season 5 is that Jinkx is so much “baby drag queen” and now she is a Drag Empress. So many of Queen are sorta come fully formed personality wise but Jinkx is so much more of a powerhouse & confident.
So, as I understand it, Jade Julie’s outfit was a character from Adventure Time. It’s a rainbow unicorn dragon. And honestly, if you know what the references, the outfit is really amazing. Because she genuinely was trying to re-create that. Jade was very much a cosplay queen and that’s really where her passion is. Unfortunately, the show wouldn’t let her do a lot of her cosplay stuff because of IP rights. But I think she was like you know what it’s the finale, they can’t stop me from doing this one. And I always love it. But, I guess if you don’t know what the references it probably gets lost in the sauce.
16:47 Hopefully, someone else saw Jade Jolie destroying Lineysha's train by stepping on it during the walk in the beginning. Like, Lineysha had to awkwardly walk two steps back to collect fabric. And then, at 18:41, you can see her still walking to her mark with a bunch of fabric in her hand while Ivy walks forward.
I have NEVER understood the not wanting to spoil who wins. I don’t really care if who wins gets spoiled,.. I care about seeing the winner win. That emotion and excitement is the show. The winner reactions they post to RUclips always have more views than the actual crowning 👀 just saying.
Season 6 is my favorite because it’s the only one that had my winner from the start to win. 😂 I do think you guys would enjoy season 15 if you hadn’t watched it. Spice pulling out the shower cap for the stupid photo shoot was amazing and Mistress was amazing haha
Yesssss to a hard reset on the judging panel! But, keep RuPaul in, as a wizard of Oz style floating face engulfed in flames/smoke to announce the sashay and shauntay. End each episode with that! Cheers
considering I have been a fan and watcher of you guys since maybe 5+ years now I can only recommend you guys watching Down Under 2. It really has some characters. Also S15-16 are both great shady modern seasons
I think you'd really enjoy the canadian series, to me it has a freshness reminiscent of the golden seasons of US Drag Race. Of course UK too, and even France, Philippines or Spain I think you would like a lot!
About modern takes on classic Busby Berkeley musicals: it's too expensive. Kenneth Branagh sort of tried it with Love's Labour Lost, and the amount of rehearsal hours needed for those huge choreographies, with lots and lots of highly skilled dancers, is insane.
i dont really have a favorite season but if i had to use non all stars, it would be five. but really seasons 2-10ish are all FIRE. REWATCHABLE! cant wait to watch milk and the gang with yall! and season 7!!!!!! the shakespeare play baby! but if we can include all stars, my favorite season of drag race is the all stars that had most of this cast on it (alaska, roxy, detox,) along with katya and trixie. SO AMAZING!
34:20 There is a story about Violet going mad at crowd in Europe for not tipping her. Which then made the audience proceed to pummel her with coins. 34:25 Well we pay our workers here, no tipping needed. And these days post-rona era fast mobile transactions are always the best.
I really want you guys to watch Drag Race Down Under season 2. It is a great season which feels so chill and relaxed, much like the earlier seasons. I also think you would love Spankie, Hannah, Kong and many of the other queens
Definitely revisit season 7! It has one of the strongest casts with a ton of fan favorites the only issue is the challenges but in retrospect they’re honestly camp with how bad some of the queens do
My understanding regarding the red outfit memo is that they told the girls to wear red like 2-3 days before but a bunch of the girls already had looks they were gonna wear so they said no. Production then decided that only the top 3 needed to wear red but some of the other girls either had found something red and/or didn’t get the update about the top 3
Can’t wait to see what season you do next! I will say I was getting drag race burnout with the last few new seasons but Season 16 is really getting me back on board. The cast is so fun. Also I feel like the show just needs a rotating seat on the judge panel of former season contestants.
The ideal re-vamp would just be a panel of revolving panel of past winners tbh, but Delta confirmed Ru doesn't like having other queens on the judging panel.
Yes, not on past winner is shocking. But then again lady bunny hasn’t even been a judge and she’s supposedly friends (duno about now with the latest tweets!). We’ve not had coco Peru, jackie beat, sherry vine, Lypsinka etc. all absolute legends to sit on panel. Not one 😮. This all speaks to Ru’s attitude and personality
oooh i hope musical theater camp goes on the poll! speaking of: camp and theater camp are great options for watchalongs/retro reviews. SO MUCH TALENT. and camp AT camp? come on, it dont get much better then that.
My theory is this. Girls happened to wear red and then when they got there, some ga PA said "Wait no, the finalists are in red!" so Penny went in the back and made that look, Serena went to wet seal and bought that skirt and top, Honey put on that ugly cape and the others...just didn't give a shit. Re: Judges Unfortunately Santino has gone full nutso. Honestly I feel like they were testing Law Roach the same way they were testing TS Madison. Billy B was good when he was on. I think they need an actor or actress tbh
If you gonna continue with something - I feel like Season 6 and 7 are obvious step, considering those are the last older seasons you haven't reviewed fully. Unless we gonna wait for the Global All Stars or something. vs The World series are also total clusterfecks and short enough to do them. And it gives more insight into international seasons, you probably won't be watching any time soon. And obviously - watching international seasons would be such a serve. Like Thailand 2, Philippines? Spain, France? Heck just going for Canada and UK would be cute. Hopefully Patreon chooses wisely.
AS1 would be a gag. I watched it a while back and discovered that Tammie/Nina and Yara/Alexis were both victims of highway robbery. Also I still don’t know the origin of “of course” but it’s how I say it now
I feel like season 6 is the best from the Usonian seasons. But I would probably put it all below some of the international seasons and maybe some All Stars. Like France or UK2, AS2?
In Europe, you trade in your small coins (1 and 2 euro coins) for fake paper money....and that is what you tip with. The things you learn moving to Berlin!
Andrew : “I always tell people watch 4,5, and 6. 1,2,3 and then I dunno about the newer ones”
Are we talking about Drag Race or Star Wars ?
No, because he included 1 in there. ;)
Works for both!
4 5 6, 1 2 3, 10.
Same logic!!
I do too!!! I understood every word with my heart ❤
“*It’s Dennis O’Hare*” is one of my favourite reoccurring jokes in the MovieBitches Bible
Continue on with season 6!
best season
ABSOLUTELY *Gia Gunn voice*
They need to do 6! Puhleez
I think Alaska said somewhere that the producers told them to wear red within a week of the finale. And a bunch of queens already had their outfits ready and said f*ck you im wearing this

The journey to remembering Alan’s name had me dying 😂
Thank you Avaryl for reminding Andrew of the "Share/Cher - HOOoo". It is indeed an integral part of a moviebitches review!
No seriously I do it too so I was just waiting with her 😂
About the red dresses: one of the queens (Alaska possibly) dished years ago that they were all told to wear red, but then Detox turned up in her B&W look and they said to them all “ok you don’t have to stick to the red theme then”.

Alaska said on her podcast that they were given the red memo last minute, and most of the girls already had their outfits made by then and didn't want to change them.
Maybe that explains why most of them look so bad
Literally can’t stop staying “Of course!” out loud and in my head 😆
Canada season 1 would be such a slay. The cast is amazing but the judging can get a little ridiculous
its a testament to the talent and charisma of the cast that CDR season 1 is so enjoyable despite the judging seeming like its on a completely seperate plane of reality
Tbh I wish they saw Canada 2 or UK 2. Just to see some of those other iconic girls. Or wait for Global All Stars.
That season is devoid of fan service in the judging, and judges according to what good drag is. Which is why the teenage fans think it is biased
27:45 if you want a Santino-style judge on the panel, then I think you’ll really enjoy the second design challenge of season 16. The guest judge was Law Roach and he was incredible!

I would add Nicole Byer as a full time judge. Her drag race knowledge is quite remarkable.
On the conversation of refreshing the judges, I know you havent been watching S16 but theres been a lot of interest recently wanting TS Madison, Law Roach, and Nicole Byer as the permanent judges as opposed to Ross and Carson. I know TS is already in the rotation officially but we need more of her, honestly.
The Journey To Alan Carr! Thank you for not editing that out, that was great 😄
Your reviews are single-handedly putting me through med school (would love to hear your thoughts on Dragula, seasons 1-3 give old Drag Race!!!)
Jesus i cant even imagine how would our lives look like if yall stopped making videos.
God bless you both for these videos. They’re deeply enjoyable and I appreciate you uploading them.
For Summer Camp, I hope you'll eventually cover this weird camp movie from my childhood, Camp Nowhere, about a bunch of rowdy kids and teens who don't wanna go to boring college credit camps, so they trick their parents into letting them go to this 'new camp' where the kids are basically all by themselves, save for a 'counselor' played by the legendary Christopher Lloyd into acting as a 'despicable adult'.

I also remember it had a banging original song for the closing credits, back when 90's movies would actually make songs for their movies instead just licensing everything.
Lol, meant Christopher Lloyd is acting like the 'responsible adult', not sure why I wrote despicable.
I loved that movie as a kid!
Wow, you just unlocked a memory! I need to see this now!
I loved Camp Nowhere and fully thought that is how summer camp would be. I think Meatballs/Camp Nowhere/Salute Your Shorts really warped my view of how Summer Camp/sleep away Camp would be.
oh yeahhh! and if i remember correctly, Kate Mulgrew and Jonathan Frakes played two of the parents of said ragtag group of kids (kinda funny that they are both from Star Trek)
PLEASE season 7 review. I love it
I love the way Avaryl says words.
about revisiting season 6 🙈 idunno im always so saddened about how they treated laganja it always almost verges on bullying and she exits in such a way that gives no closure to her relationship with anybody but besides her the cast the talent the drama is just beyond iconique
I found Laganga quite annoying when I first watched season 6 but when I re watched it I really felt for her
The season16 runway song is cake and candy . Nostradamus
Season 7 was low-key tea. Especially with the untucked 🔥
What’s really interesting about season 5 is that Jinkx is so much “baby drag queen” and now she is a Drag Empress. So many of Queen are sorta come fully formed personality wise but Jinkx is so much more of a powerhouse & confident.
No spoilers, but let's just say, if you miss Alyssa, there's something GREAT coming down the pipes
So, as I understand it, Jade Julie’s outfit was a character from Adventure Time. It’s a rainbow unicorn dragon. And honestly, if you know what the references, the outfit is really amazing. Because she genuinely was trying to re-create that. Jade was very much a cosplay queen and that’s really where her passion is.

And I always love it. But, I guess if you don’t know what the references it probably gets lost in the sauce.
I do love this beginning. Did you guys notice Lineysha's trail got stuck in the space on the edge of the runway and ripped?
…and latoya jackson!
thank you coonts for reviewing one of the most legendary seasons in drag race herstory 🫡
Oh man retro review Patreon list!!! Ahhhh. I cannot wait until you get to mine. I hope it’s one of the ones Avaryl’s is excited for.
So happy to see this. I have started to rewatch all the reviews starting at your 15 minute season 8 reviews. Just started season 10 episode 2.
16:47 Hopefully, someone else saw Jade Jolie destroying Lineysha's train by stepping on it during the walk in the beginning. Like, Lineysha had to awkwardly walk two steps back to collect fabric. And then, at 18:41, you can see her still walking to her mark with a bunch of fabric in her hand while Ivy walks forward.
I think it looks like the train got stuck to the stage/lighting.
When it cuts to Jade you can see Lineysha yanking the train stuck to the stage/lights
I have NEVER understood the not wanting to spoil who wins. I don’t really care if who wins gets spoiled,.. I care about seeing the winner win. That emotion and excitement is the show.

Yesssss to a hard reset on the judging panel! But, keep RuPaul in, as a wizard of Oz style floating face engulfed in flames/smoke to announce the sashay and shauntay. End each episode with that! Cheers
No lashes, No nails for the finale ? Lov you guys 💟
Jade's look was giving me like... thermometer? or one of those rain measuring tubes
The fans have been asking for TS Madison to be a perma judge for YEARS she is a breathe of fresh air every time she judges!
I'd love to see you review the Drag Race UK - the Bimini season. I can't get enough of them!!! Cheers!
We did!
Yes, please do The Opposite Sex! I prefer the 1939 The Women, but I'll take this, if you could just throw some clips of Rosalind Russell in.
I’ve been waiting for yall to do season 6!
I cannot stop watching you guys, I feel like you’re family at this point ❤❤❤❤
considering I have been a fan and watcher of you guys since maybe 5+ years now I can only recommend you guys watching Down Under 2. It really has some characters. Also S15-16 are both great shady modern seasons
We need first wives club 🤍
I would LOVE if you caught up with season 16, it’s fantastic so far
I think you'd really enjoy the canadian series, to me it has a freshness reminiscent of the golden seasons of US Drag Race. Of course UK too, and even France, Philippines or Spain I think you would like a lot!
Classic Hollywood camp all technicolor! Summerstock, Blue Hawaii, Where the Boys Are, Beach Blanket Bingo, Gidget, Come September ...THE OPTIONS!!
What a wonderful journey this has been! You two reviewing episodes will always be my favourite way of consuming this show.
Ok but Season 16 is 10,000% worth it, they finally have another fresh-campy-messy-disaster-perfection season like the old days. 😍
About modern takes on classic Busby Berkeley musicals: it's too expensive. Kenneth Branagh sort of tried it with Love's Labour Lost, and the amount of rehearsal hours needed for those huge choreographies, with lots and lots of highly skilled dancers, is insane.
Season 7 is still my favorite regular season to this day. No I will not be accepting questions at this time. 😅
No one but me remembers her but Miss Fame is my second favorite drag to come out of the show tbh
i dont really have a favorite season but if i had to use non all stars, it would be five. but really seasons 2-10ish are all FIRE. REWATCHABLE! cant wait to watch milk and the gang with yall! and season 7!!!!!! the shakespeare play baby! but if we can include all stars, my favorite season of drag race is the all stars that had most of this cast on it (alaska, roxy, detox,) along with katya and trixie.

34:25 Well we pay our workers here, no tipping needed. And these days post-rona era fast mobile transactions are always the best.
Everyone on patreon please vote for season 6 because im dying to see the commentary on my favourite regular us season
I really want you guys to watch Drag Race Down Under season 2. It is a great season which feels so chill and relaxed, much like the earlier seasons. I also think you would love Spankie, Hannah, Kong and many of the other queens
Omg I hope everyone votes for season 16. It's legit entertaining
Definitely revisit season 7! It has one of the strongest casts with a ton of fan favorites the only issue is the challenges but in retrospect they’re honestly camp with how bad some of the queens do
The best Drag Race Finale EVER is Thailand Season 2. Do yourself a favor and watch on WOW. Then come back and tell me how right I am.
My understanding regarding the red outfit memo is that they told the girls to wear red like 2-3 days before but a bunch of the girls already had looks they were gonna wear so they said no. Production then decided that only the top 3 needed to wear red but some of the other girls either had found something red and/or didn’t get the update about the top 3
Yes , we need someone to stand up to Michelle ! It’s like she’s the be all and end all , know it all! 😂
32:12 I always thought that moment was RuPaul's version of the Oil of Olay commercial. With Catherine Deneuve. "Come closer... closer..."
PLEASE DO JOHN WATERS JUNE!!! I AM BEGGING YOU!
Can’t wait to see what season you do next! I will say I was getting drag race burnout with the last few new seasons but Season 16 is really getting me back on board. The cast is so fun.
Also I feel like the show just needs a rotating seat on the judge panel of former season contestants.
I remember 4:58 when you two popped up I literally screamed omg
Season 6 feels so necessary to cover next
The ideal re-vamp would just be a panel of revolving panel of past winners tbh, but Delta confirmed Ru doesn't like having other queens on the judging panel.
Yes, not on past winner is shocking. But then again lady bunny hasn’t even been a judge and she’s supposedly friends (duno about now with the latest tweets!). We’ve not had coco Peru, jackie beat, sherry vine, Lypsinka etc. all absolute legends to sit on panel. Not one 😮. This all speaks to Ru’s attitude and personality
you can tell they haven't watched the most recent seasons because they still haven't heard "cake & candy"
Please do clásico hollywood and post the film you're doing so that we can watch it before the video
You have to do season 6! I mean bianca del rio? Must rewatch
Amen I missed y’all the last two weeks 😭
honestly lineysha was ahead of her time she always served GLAM
I've actually never watched AS1 so I will need to watch it through your viewing parties. The perfect way to watch I'm sure
For summer camp please do Camp Nowhere!
Yes to season 7!!! That was my first season and I thought it was excellent. And I’d love to watch those reviews!
I’m pretty sure that the Top 3’s theme was supposed to be red and girls shadily wore red even though it was only for the top girls.
oooh i hope musical theater camp goes on the poll! speaking of: camp and theater camp are great options for watchalongs/retro reviews. SO MUCH TALENT. and camp AT camp? come on, it dont get much better then that.
I hope you are watching UK vs the World 2. Tia Kofi is great.
I think you’d love Canada 4 or UK5!!
Dame Edna Everage should be a judge.
My theory is this. Girls happened to wear red and then when they got there, some ga PA said "Wait no, the finalists are in red!" so Penny went in the back and made that look, Serena went to wet seal and bought that skirt and top, Honey put on that ugly cape and the others...just didn't give a shit.
Re: Judges Unfortunately Santino has gone full nutso. Honestly I feel like they were testing Law Roach the same way they were testing TS Madison. Billy B was good when he was on. I think they need an actor or actress tbh
Season 6 Please!!! ❤❤❤

Hopefully Patreon chooses wisely.
I feel like y’all would love season 16 lol
I get that not everyone loves Barbie.. but I'm sorry Ryan Gosling is great at singing + dancing.
I recently watched The Women. I hope it gets it's time under the Movie Bitches spotlight. It's so funny and Joan Crawford is SO fun in it!
39:59 I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, but FYI that lil Little Edie (Bebe Wood) is Gretchen Weiners in the new Mean Girls movie! 😊
I am absolutely here for Classic Hollywood Camp on the grounds that Barbra MUST make an appearance
Season 15 pwould be everything, Sasha Colby is mother
AS1 would be a gag. I watched it a while back and discovered that Tammie/Nina and Yara/Alexis were both victims of highway robbery.
Also I still don’t know the origin of “of course” but it’s how I say it now
I feel like season 6 is the best from the Usonian seasons. But I would probably put it all below some of the international seasons and maybe some All Stars. Like France or UK2, AS2?
Watch All Stars 1!!! It’s such a fucking fever dream!
I think you guys just want the drag race Thailand style finales. They do what you describe and they're great
Please watch jade jolie’s season of Dragula. It was a great season.
Classic Holllywood! Classic Hollywood!
Pleaseee review Down Under s2, such a crazygood outlier compared to its other seasons
In Europe, you trade in your small coins (1 and 2 euro coins) for fake paper money....and that is what you tip with. The things you learn moving to Berlin!
