He probably films most of them on a greenscreen in his office/studio. It's easier for him than a lot of people, I'd bet.

Yeah I'm not trying to diminish the work that goes into Willam's videos because it takes a lot of people, time, and money to get something so well-produced. My point was that releasing a video or two a week is her business model and she's uniquely good at it because of her Hollywood experience and connections. She's been on a lot of productions so she knows how filming works and she's also a very competent businesswoman with lots of connections which allows her to pull together a ton of talent.

Willam does gigs and makes videos, that's her thing. Also writes books and does podcasts and stuff but churning out well-produced youtube videos is her hustle.

What alternate reality season 7 did you watch?
Of the 4 episodes concluding in that lip sync, Trixie was definitively better in at least 2 (Glamazon, Shakesqueer) and in that episode Trixie wrote most of the lyrics which the judges liked.

How was Pearl better in general?

Yeah, Kennedy somehow has convinced people that she is a good dancer. Just look at any time when they try and have her do choreography, and she can't do poo poo. Throwing your arms spastically and doing a cartwheel every 30 seconds does not a good dancer make.

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a clear answer to as why you can't watch any of the older seasons. The option to buy some of the seasons is there for $30 each, but I'm not about ready to do that given the fact that I've seen every season several times already when it was still available on Netflix in the US. I used to use a proxy to watch Netflix catalogues in other countries, but I hear they're really cracking down on that.

I'm just amazed VH1 doesn't have some way to watch their poo poo on demand. Or maybe they do and it's behind a cable provider.

At any rate with how hot Drag Race is right now you'd expect one of the big streaming services to have snatched it all up.

If you have a VPN and a little expendable cash, Wow Presents Plus is a great option. I connect to Argentina or whatever and have access to everything.

I am rooting for Latrice to take it all. I think Manila might have a better shot at it though - I love Latrice, but I think her looks are on the whole a little weaker/less polished. I hope she just went around to every designer she knows to get a wardrobe for the gods.

I think Latrice will be able to win, I saw her on heels of hell tour and her performance was the best (although Willam was a close second), she was hilarious and has so much personality.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the thread (or the forums at all, really) for a bit, but have y'all talked about Super Drags? Is it on Netflix in the USA? I got about ten minutes into it and gently caress me that is not a good show. Like, at all.

Apparently it's a Brazilian show that got dubbed into English, voiced by our beloved American drag queens.

I've seen people say Super Drags works better in the original Portuguese, and the people translating didn't adapt the humor well.

I have my doubts.

It's bad. Probably less bad in the original language with original jokes and dialogue, but I doubt watching it in Portugese suddenly makes it good.

I'd assume the Library/Talent Show/Snatch Game cycle in the first two eps are a given at this point. Let the Queens show off at first and then put them through the wringer.

I wasn't clutching my pearls about it or anything, but it waded into some fairly dicey territory in the only episode I watched. I think I'm actually pretty forgiving about transgressive humor if the joke lands well enough to make that trip worth it, but when the joke is a complete flop you have to wonder why the writers thought the risk was justified. In the case of Super Drags I think the intent in many cases might have been to make fun of outdated gay stereotypes, but when the "fun" part of that doesn't materialize you just get "lazily repeating and reinforcing outdated gay stereotypes", which ain't a show I care to watch.
