It’s our last episode of 2022. But we will hopefully have an update for you all soon on the future of United Queendom. In the meantime, we recap the finale Denali of season four of Drag Race UK. Condragulations to Danny SmootheFace. WE LOVE YOU ALL.Sponsored by Fat Pigeon Artfatpigeonart.uk/www.instagram.com/fatpigeonart/?hl=enemail edward.m.dyson@…

A live chaotic episode see in as we did it in person in Sam Doohler’s bed post-wine. It’s the penultimate episode of Drag Race UK season four - and perhaps ours for a while - and the queens are roasting, though not very well for the most part. Black Pepper, Pixie and Cheddar make for some of the most uncomfortable roasts the show has ever seen but …

Thanks for all your messages last week about our hiatus / possible demise, we’re working on it, rest assured! But in the meantime, we’re doing what we do best, slagging off Drag Race, including Ru’s return from covid given by Naomi Campbell, a terrible parody of Squid Games and Big Brother, a ruff runway - especially for Pixie Polite, while also ra…

I’m going to post my announcement / speech / monologue here: “I’m afraid, and this is NOT a joke, that we’re going to do what I hoped we would never have to do. And announce that the United Queendom gang are taking a hiatus. And I hi-hate us for doing this. But let me explain. It’s been three years now of doing this, and it’s been amazing. And we c…

It’s Snatch Game time! And surprise surprise, it’s shit. Cilla Cack, Pete Burnt Out, Lame Shirley Bassey and RuPaul giving terrible advice. And Mel B’s drunk guest appearance with a Spice Girls Stop lip sync that needed to stop. A poor ep, for sure, but ours is still good so that’s all that matters really.Sponsored by Fat Pigeon Arthttps://fatpigeo…

It’s the Rusical! And this week we get a take on Mary Poppins and a fan runway of west end shows, both of which Danny Beard destroys. We also talk Liz Truss’ shock elimination, Sam’s bday, Hacks the TV show and further updates about the Guy Onions saga. Enjoy!Sponsored by Fat Pigeon Arthttps://fatpigeonart.uk/https://www.instagram.com/fatpigeonart/…

Well this might be the craziest episode of the podcast we’ve ever done. I’m afraid it descends quite quickly into madness then only goes further off the rails, as we discuss politics, cats in suitcases and onions before meltdowns ensure. Definitely a keeper.Sponsored by Fat Pigeon Arthttps://fatpigeonart.uk/https://www.instagram.com/fatpigeonart/?h…

The Naftas are suitably naff, as the judges go rogue, creating mini challenge awards to crush confidence and judging bizarrely. But we get some good looks, thank you Cheddar, and some chat about our favourite subject, sex with straight men. We even get to discuss famous child murdered briefly, what more could you want?Sponsored by Fat Pigeon Arthtt…

It’s Yasssssstonbury - and the queens have to rock out with their cocks… well, tucked, as usual. Fucker Twigs is a guest judge, giving as much life as Starlet does in her performance, and Cathy Dennis channels queen of mean to help them with their songwriting - which they clearly need a LOT of help with. We see SIX badges given out (I say five in t…

Due to the death of the Queen (Liz,) these episodes were delayed in their release on BBC iPlayer in the UK, so apologies to international listeners who’ve had to wait for them. As a result, when they were finally released, we’ve summarised the penultimate makeover episode and the finale Denali in one recap, but still managed to squeeze in plenty of…

It’s baaaaaack! In an episode dedicated to the late Chery Valentine, we celebrate the return of Drag Race UK, (quite the palette cleanser after Down Under…) and it’s already off to a better start than season three of UK. Black Pepper snatches a win, Cheddar Gorgeous is instantly iconic, Dame Joanna Lumley makes an absolutely fabulous cameo, and we …
  continue reading
 
We discuss the passing of her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, as we know everyone has been on the edge of their seat waiting for our hot take on it. And then we move onto some living queens, the new cast of Drag Race UK season four, including such titans as Cheddar Gorgeous and Danny Beard. Who will snatch the crown? Well, besides Charles, obvs… (o…

This week we get one of the craziest lip syncs of all time as Beverly Kills goes head to head - and leg to leg, knee to knee, back to back - with rival Queen Kong, and that stage takes more of a pounding than Sam at Mardis Gras. But before that we have to sit through the queens attempting to endorse their hometowns, which is equally painful.Sponsor…

This week we’re treated to the worst reading challenge of all time - burn this library down - and the most pointless drama of all time, as well as a pretty shitty runway to boot. However, on a positive note, Bosom Buddies pops off, and we also sink our teeth into some Canada, Secret Celebrity Drag Race, and even Drag Race Philippines chat - as well…
  continue reading
 
Can season two’s Snatch Game improve upon the shit show that was season one’s? Well, no. Apparently, Snatch Game just isn’t their strength. But we get a decent Dame Edna, a good Liza (again,) and a bunch of crap to bitch about, as well as a few more Minnie Cooper work room dramas. We also discuss the recent deaths of Anne Heche and Darius (RIP) and…

It’s drag brunch! And nothing makes you quite in the mood for brunch like a drag queen with an injected eye, eh? This week UraGuy has a Poorly Eye, we learn the true meaning of SABO, and see Minnie’s pensioner nips. We also have a good old rant about Olly Alexander and treat you do a bit of off the cuff opinions on Canada’s Drag Race though we won’…
  continue reading
 
The queens do their first acting challenge in Caged Queens, a prison drama… and they all should be locked up after this. It was Prisoner Cell Block H for Horrible, but we did get some entertaining moments with Minnie’s dyslexia and apologies / demands for apologies, and some old beef from back in the day resurfacing (sounds like my trip to Toby Car…
  continue reading
 
Down Under is baaaack! Crack open the chicken goooooouujoooooons. Has the budget improved? No. Have the challenges improved? No. Does it look like RuPaul is in the same room as the queens now? No. But has Ru’s makeup got worse? YES! We’ve got age debates, shitty outfits and lots of offensive Aussie accents to kick things off for season twoooooo.Spo…

Win-kx Monsoon! She did it! In a weird awkward production-assisted way admittedly, but Jinkx Monsoon is the queen of all queens after a string of very controversial lip syncs. Thanks for joining us for All Stars 7, it’s been a hell of a ride and I’m proud we were able to offer up all the negativity that the show was sorely missing. Join us for the …

Wow what a rollercoaster. Shea leapfrogs everyone else by winning three legendary legend stars in the variety performance. Was it riggamorris? We investigate! And by investigate I mean speculate with no evidence. We also rank all of the queens variety performances, which is essentially 35 more lip syncs to terrible original songs, but do get some l…
  continue reading
 
It’s the roast! And we love it! Jinkx gives another master class, Raja gets another robbing, Trinity clearly had a bit of help and Jadia clearly needed a bit of help. Sam Dowler had his classic joke plagiarised by The Viv, and we even manage to discuss politics, curry and appropriate terms for gay men. A hilarious ep if we do say so ourselves!Spons…
  continue reading
 
This week the queens have to make social media videos that would go viral. So naturally we get deep throating peanut butter sandwiches because WHY WOULDN’T WE? Dear Evan Hansen’s Ben Platt brings some much needed smugness to the panel and we get our first ever spoken word lip sync for your life as well as the reveal that the runway is reveals upon …

A Christmas episode? In July? That’s fucked up. Almost as fucked up as the script on this acting challenge. And almost as fucked up as the knitwear choices on the runway. Not the greatest episode this season. That’s why it was a bit late, we had to process the issues. Apologies! We’ll have an early one for you sooooon!email edward.m.dyson@googlemai…
  continue reading
 
Another design challenge, and this week the theme is kissing Ru’s arse. Which is ironic as in the lip sync we get our first ever on stage rimming. Finally! Also Jaida pulls ahead with the legendary legend stars and the rivalry between Jinkx and Viv is heating up. Sorry this episode was a bit late because of Glastonbury, and for the resulting voice,…

We’re early girly! We’re going back to the year 2000, where double denim was acceptable and if you’d said Instagram people would think you were ordering a bag of brown. Y2K hun! And it’s the girl band challenge, as well as a night of a thousand Dolly Partons. Could it be any gayer? Well, yes The Vivienne puts a plunger up her arse. And most shockin…

The queens give graduation speeches, and deliver another iconic episode. Jinkx ‘I got hit by a fucking car’, Raja’s cult leaked shtick, and drink Viv all leave an impression, as does Ru’s controversial work room outfit, and revelation that the star system just got even more complicated. No wonder the queens’ strategies are falling apart. Thanks for…

Fairytale Justice is such a treat it gets the first 10/10 of All Stars 7 from us (despite the fact some people coughs Ed have been trying to give every ep 10/10.) and speaking of coughing, apologies that today’s sounds like it’s from a covid ward but the hosts have had a heavy week. And no not just on the scales. This week’s ep is longer than last …
  continue reading
 
It’s the BALL! And Raja delivers one of the most gagworthy ball looks ever. But sadly still doesn’t win. But there’s many other gags. Jinks and Monet cobbling together half decent looks. Trinity being nice! The Vivienne winning cash! We also discuss THAT boot - or double boot - by Violet. And Gia Gunn’s Drag Con comments.email edward.m.dyson@google…
  continue reading
 
Is it the best Snatch Game ever? Did Jinkx’ Judy just raise the bar? Was Runour has it a terrible lip sync song? Is the plunger about to cause drama? We answer all the pressing questions. And do some horrible impressions of our own. Spoiler: We both gave this ep a 10/10. And our recap is every bit as good!email edward.m.dyson@googlemail.com@unitedq…

The legends are back! But enough about us - the WINNERS SEASON is finally here! Jinkx! Shea! Trinity! RAJA! Money! Yvie! Jaida! Aaaaand our very own The Vivienne. They meet Naomi Campbell, Cameron Diaz, and write their own verses to Ru’s new song, before a lip sync to Old Macdonald. Yep, it’s gonna be that kinda season. And we love it!email edward.…

Kim Cattrall has FINALLY spilled the T on what she thinks of And Just Like That… so how could we not delve into it? We did it very last minute so sorry it’s a bit chaotic but we hit all the main points and wanted to have an opportunity to thank all the SATC for being so supportive to us for these recaps. This is a bonus that will give you all boner…

Oh Mammy! It’s the winner of UK vs The World. No, not Pangina! The bitch who took her down! BLU HYDRANGEA. Plus Baga Chipz who is fashionably late.

It’s the finale Denali! Condragulations to Willow Pill, who won the longest season of Drag Race of all time, after the iconic performance I Hate People and a lip sync that showed she really wears the trousers. We also review the cast’s returning look, discuss Symone’s controversial coronation look, the odd choice of Miss Congeniality - no shade Cor…

Exclusive interview with star of Drag Race season two, All Stars 5, UK vs the World and pretty much every other season imaginable, the legendary Jujubee, who talks death threats from fans, not caring about UKvWorld backlash and - most importantly - cats. Juju is starting in DEATH DROP on the west end.https://deathdropplay.com/https://www.jujubeeonl…

Ed is podcasting from Venice and Sam from Devon. We've got through part of this reunion episode before technical faults with WiFi got the best of us. With quality over quantity we compare with other reunions, Rue's love for the season, was Rue actually there and who was sliding into Kerri Colby's DM's? Apologies for the disruption but to makeup for…

It’s the penultimate episode, often a boring one of the series. But it’s one of the best recaps of our series, cos we like to make up for when Drag Race let’s you down! This week we discuss carpet cleaning, Gaga’s Telephone, Terms of Endearment, supermodels and dastardly subscriptions. Educational is what it is! Oh and we’re Team Willow.email edwar…

Well, first of all, we have to discuss what the rest of the world is talking about, and cannot keep Will Smith & Chris Rock’s name out of our FUCKING MOUTHS! So we give our two cents on that, keep your hair on Jaida, and then we get into a fabulous roast of Ross Matthews, which includes all our favourite things, incest, doggies and, of course, anal…

The chocolate finally happens! But it’s upstaged by Jorgeous delivering one of the best on stage reads ever. Not a good week for Bosco, who obnoxiously fights for the role she wants then fucks it right up! We discuss Moulin Rouge, Lesley Jordan, musicals and also… how you need to join the Patreon! Now! Please xemail edward.m.dyson@googlemail.com@un…

A lip sync smack down lalapa-doggy-did-a-do-do-za! But as well as did it who will finally be eliminated from the longest season of Drag Race in history, we also delve into why JLo might be responsible for 9/11, Sam’s advice for douching and a review of the Batman, starring Rob Pattinson PLUS a clip of our exclusive chat with Blu Hydranga and Baga C…

RIP Snatch Game. You died doing what you loved most. Humiliating Queens. Still, it gives us plenty to talk about. Drew Barry-no-more! William Shakey-dear… Ozzy Os-bore-no-resemblance… Illana Glazed-over… and NO ELIMINATION AGAIN??? And this is pre chocolate. There’s a lot to be mad about. Fortunately we cheer up when going on our trademark tangents…

It’s the finale denali of UK vs The World, and Jujubee, Blu Hydrangea, Mo Heart and Baga Chipz battle it out in a lip sync smack down. Or a lip sync where they’re all down and on smack… not a great episode, quite anti climactic but don’t worry ours makes it all worthwhile as always. PLUS exclusive chat with Baga Chipz.email edward.m.dyson@googlemai…

This week it’s drag con panels about Menzes (that’s men, not periods,) although there are also pads…. Shoulder pads! Not that everyone got the brief though. And ANOTHER week with no one eliminated. Wtf?! PLUS Sam’s interview with the BOULET BROS. Spooky ooky!email edward.m.dyson@googlemail.com@unitedqueendompodcastwww.patreon.com/UnitedQueendomSPON…
