Two big ole rants for you this week!

First is the news that Kenya Moore has been suspended from filming the new season of Real Housewives of Atlanta amid an alleged revenge porn scheme? Wild.

Then I'm discussing Apple TV+, in general, and the issues I have with so many of their shows, including the ones I'm currently watching: Dark Matter and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

Wow, I didn't mean to take four months off! Sorry! I explain within.

Then it's on to the new season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars 9, which has a new format, a new prize, and an odd(er than usual) cast.

Happy 100th episode of the podcast! To celebrate, I'm thrilled to welcome Brett White, host of Must Have Seen TV, to discuss RuPaul's Drag Race season 16. But it's a long conversation, and we detour to what's on the show's application, the upcoming season of We're Here, a bunch of international Drag Race franchises, and the book Brett is writing about Irving Berlin, Hayden Rorke, and soldiers who do drag.

I'm so sorry, but I had to rant for like 15 minutes about people's (unwanted!) hot takes on Kevin's selfishness in Home Alone 2. But then it's on to my favorite TV shows of the year!

I'll be back in 2024 with episode 100, but in the meantime, follow me on ⁠Serializd⁠ (a TV watching app where you can see what I'm currently watching and discuss TV with me) and ⁠Letterboxd ⁠(for my annual ranking of Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas movies and more).

A new season of Drag Race is around the corner, and the cast has been announced... and there's a queen local to me on it!

This week I'm breaking down the Dancing with the Stars finale and the season premiere of Hollywood Houselift with Jeff Lewis. And it's time for my last Hallmark Countdown to Christmas recommendation of the year!

Fargo is back on FX and Hulu! I didn't realize I only actually watched one previous season, but if the rest of this new season is as visceral, thrilling, and funny as the first two episodes, I'm excited to be on board.

I'm trying something different and talking about the lack of empathy and emotion in reality TV as of late, particularly on Catfish and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and how that's a symptom of our decaying society. Happy Thanksgiving!
