Ducks, body horror and queerness: Wreck stars talk “gruesome” season 2

admin, , , ,

Wreck creator Ryan J. Brown discusses the long-awaited second season of BBC’s slasher comedy series with stars Miya Ocego and Sam Buttery. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN With a switch from slasher to folk horror, the absence of the Sacramentum and the savage deaths of beloved heroes, “safe” isn’t a word that can be associated with the second season of Wreck. “I just wanted to come back with a bang, and I think we’ve created a space for those things to happen now,” writer and creator Ryan J. Brown…

Drag Race: Scarlet Envy addresses ‘surprising’ UK vs the World drama

admin, , , ,

Scarlet Envy speaks with GAY TIMES about her “surprising” rift with Hannah Conda and why she’s “glad” she was eliminated instead of Marina Summers. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “Scarlet Envy” and “viral” go hand-in-hand at this point. Ahead of her stint on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 6, the Southern beauty added a new phrase into the ever-expanding queer lexicon – “is it me, am I drama?” – while a resurfaced clip from season 11, in which she put the “race” in “Drag Race“, had…

Drag Race UK: Why Choriza May wanted another double elimination

admin, , , ,

Catherine of Aragon’s praise beyond the grave. Marge Simpson’s “blue muff”. Eating ass. Incoming: a very serious interview with Drag Race UK vs the World star Choriza May. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC Choriza May might have sashayed away from Drag Race UK vs the World in sixth place, but it doesn’t matter: her 2021 debut single ‘My Pussy is Like a Peach’ has just surpassed three billion streams on Spotify. (That might need fact-checking.) On this week’s episode of the all-star…

WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC Gothy Kendoll is the current reigning queen of self-awareness. “I was living on borrowed time,” she admits of her trajectory on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World.

Drag Race UK vs the World: All 8 Snatch Game performances, ranked

admin, , , ,

Major spoilers ahead for the fourth episode of Drag Race UK vs the World.  ‘Unhinged’ is the adjective we’d use to describe this week’s edition of Snatch Game – and, to be honest, it’s the adjective we always want to use in reference to Drag Race‘s staple challenge. Rather that than “romper room fuckery”, huh? For their fourth maxi, the eight remaining contestants on UK vs the World season two – Choriza May, Gothy Kendoll, Hannah Conda, Keta Minaj, La Grande Dame, Marina Summers, Scarlet Envy and Tia Kofi – flexed…

‘I wasn’t standing in my power’: Keta Minaj on Drag Race UK vs the World exit

The Drag Race UK vs the World fan-favourite speaks with GAY TIMES about her “bitter” final episode, Tia Kofi’s strategy and how she plans to “redeem” herself on a future season. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC With three maxi-challenge wins on Drag Race Holland, Keta Minaj was one of the most formidable players heading into the second season of UK vs the World. A frontrunner, if you will. While she left no crumbs with her psychedelic original song and gymnastics hybrid in the talent show and…

Drag Race UK: Jonbers Blonde reflects on “confusing” challenge

Drag Race star Jonbers Blonde lets rip on the ‘confusing’ UK vs the World challenge that sent her home and her wild plans for Snatch Game. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC “There are a lot of things that I could say, and I don’t want to get in trouble,” Jonbers Blonde tells GAY TIMES. The Northern Irish fashionista is referring to this week’s befuddling Drag Race UK vs the World challenge, in which the queens worked in teams of three to sell their individual…

Drag Race UK vs the World teases the end of Best Friend’s Race

admin, , , ,

This season of UK vs the World is currently on track to dethrone season 12 as the ultimate edition of RuPaul’s Best Friend’s Race, with episode two eliciting a lot of laughs and squidgy “aww!” moments between the cast. But, with the final moments teasing some season one-esque shenanigans ala Jimbo and Pangina Heals’ eliminations, how long will it stay, y’know, squidgy? (In the profound words of Katya Zamolodchikova, “I don’t know, I’m not a scientist.”) Following the events of the premiere, which saw Marina Summers defeat La Grande Dame…

Drag Race star Arantxa on UK vs the World exit: ‘Claws are coming out’

Drag Race star Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha discusses her UK vs the World exit, why she had to change her talent show number and finally “feeling comfortable” as a trans woman. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN SPECIAL THANKS TO MARY JONES AND ELOISE LONGDEN AT THE BBC As the Drag Race UK vs the World contestant whose drag is, according to her sisters, in the most “need”, Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha had one thought when episode two was revealed to be the ball: ‘Well, it’s over.’ This week, the queens served three looks for the ‘Happy Ending…

Drag Race UK vs the World: Was the season 2 premiere a success?

admin, , , ,

‘Well-received’, ‘critically-acclaimed’ and ‘best ever!’ are not phrases we would associate with the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World. With a rushed six episodes, a rather whelming second half and the wildly controversial back-to-back exits of frontrunners Jimbo and Pangina Heals, it’s not often ranked in the upper echelons of Drag Race seasons. (Jimbo’s unhinged introduction of Casper the Baloney Ghost, Jujubee’s so-bad-it’s-bloody-brilliant impersonation of Cher and the runways deserve praise, however.) As a result, fans have been less… enthused, we’ll say, about the follow-up. How…
