Drag Race Global All Stars Episode 4 | Queening Out w/ Laganja and Joseph

[@casillasmakeup]

Not being familiar with Frida Khalos art is wild.

[@mack.s8494]

Galo was referencing Frida Kahlo's art. Frida suffered a life of severe chronic pain from what we now know was likely Fibromyalgia. The white banded outfit is her famous self portrait of the metal brace she had to wear 23 hrs/day. She painted her pain in a lot of her art. Her flesh was often tore open by the devices built to "help" eg this brace & her bed, which she was ridden to for decades of her life. As someone who has also lived w/ chronic pain for over 35yrs, I'm not sure how I feel about people calling this presentation "cool" or "sexy". I applaud Galo for bringing such an icon to the runway. Ps. Thx for clarifying the reason for the quick screen pics.

[@JosephAShepherd]

Thanks for this explanation this makes so much sense. I wish they would have told this story better

[@mack.s8494]

@@JosephAShepherd so do I. It helps those with a long term illness or a disability to feel seen. Ganga was talking about there being so many drag artists & françhaises, so where are the KINGS Ru?? Or why hasn't Drag Syndrome had a feature on an episode? Seriously, haven't we waited long enuf? **LOVE the show btw. I really like the few minutes of reading ppl's comments. ❤️🩷

[@tonyvf]

It makes so much sense for Mexicans, we got the reference and I love Galo for representing. Frida Kahlo is not only a Mexican icon. She is an artistic, creative, unique legend. The last look was Frida in a body brace due to an accident that damaged her spine. Gala played up the sexy in a tragedy and I am here for it! 🔥❤️

[@ohwowoh7281]

I think the panel should have been a rotation of all the international hosts

[@xanderjames6510]

The Frida Kahlo reveals were very cool, creative and cultural. CHEERS!💋

[@soymxnuel]

I think the problem with this new franchise is that it is being judged with an American drag metric. It is unfair that the entire judging panel is American. Even the review channels don’t understand other queen’s drag and don’t do the research to back up their critics. Just my opinion.

[@Nelson_504]

38:44 Pabllo is featured on that song, but the main artist on that track is Iranian-Dutch singer Sevdaliza.

[@stanloona8953]

26:26 Gala Varo’s look is 3 different Frida works and it’s pretty consistent / recognizable for a Mexican audience. Not hating but I know the show didn’t really explain it well 👍

[@TombCat]

It's pretty recognizable to most people. Laganja and Joseph need to watch less bad TV. Frida Kahlo is at this point a legend of the art world. Her life story is a painful and beautiful part of feminist, queer, and progressive body politic. The art itself is fascinating and at times macabre - but connects deeply to her Mexican heritage and her own image - elements of nature and love. There have been so many documentaries and books about Frida as well as a PBS series and a prominent feature film starring Salma Hayek. Madonna championed Kahlo's work decades ago and owes 5 of her paintings. The last Kahlo work that came to auction sold for 35 million. Frida's work is now more valued than Diego Riveras. Which was not the case of course during their lifetime. Her work transcends and illuminates her physical suffering.

[@stanloona8953]

@@TombCat claro - I think Laganja and the other one understood it was Frida (the first two looks). Unfortunately from my experience many non-Mexican depictions of Frida tend to ignore or erase her history as someone with cronic illnesses (the third look) where i sensed confusion from the judges ;) 🇲🇽💗

[@TombCat]

@@stanloona8953 I know, I kind of overreacted. But - some of the commentary and lack of awareness in these reviews frustrate me. Especially for Global All Stars. Less talk about what you had for lunch and the cost of the Beverly Hills Hotel and maybe do a bit of research? Laganja could pretend that she watched the episode.....she's fortunate to travel the world - but only knows about the food. Ugly Americans come in GAY too! I recommend IMHO - they have funny things to say and unique and nuanced observations about the queens AND the culture.

[@rwb3562]

The copyright thing is ridiculous, podcasts like this keep us invested in the show! Also keeps us guys who cant afford or get subscriptions to watch the shows interested in the franchise 😊

[@johnhart2619]

Surprise Surprise: The team of English native speakers are on 1 team and Win !!!!

[@romanzaporozhets4237]

Nehellenia was the best dancer. She was called things and mobbed for speaking up. What a terrible episode. Alyssa and Queen are so fake for that

[@bluekinopio9390]

I love the catch up talk before the review !! One of my fave parts and what sets you guys apart from the other recap shows.

[@Andreispunk]

the language barrier is definitely going on, for the acting challenge they should've done physical acting, one lipsync song in each language, the globe is such a good idea also... feels like we're invited to be 2nd place :/ (or 11th in this case, we love you miranda) I would've loved to see rupaul say "welcome to the main stage" in a different language each week, or saying "thank you" to the eliminated girls, something to make us feel like we're in the same level and not just filling in to make it "global"..... imagine the opening song of each franchise, I mean, so many missed opportunities

[@evlnte]

OMG thank you for saying everything I have been thinking! This “faux” global thing is driving me crazy. I am so sad that the songs and judging are so anglo-centric. Hoping global season 2 will fix this. Much luck to Laganja on her trans journey.

[@CMDMP]

Kitty is the BREXIT queen, we would have left first... if there where eliminations. I am in the UK and have no idea why they choose her, no shade, she can be funny, but there are so many way more talented queens in the UK.

[@rwb3562]

This is a common comment on everything i see about this series and Kitty, I totally agree! And im from the UK too 😅

[@jolynekuho.97]

Cherry Valentine would've been perfect for this season. rest in peace, always thinking of you🕊🍒🌈

[@romanzaporozhets4237]

Congrats and support with the surgery. Wish laganja the best recovery

[@Electricacid67]

Joseph, you were right! Nehellennia on Italia s2 was pronounced as you originally said (and with an unaspirated h). Ru seems to be pronouncing it the way people have said is correct - with the third syllable rhyming with hay - and the queens tend to call her Nelly. But you are Italian and the Italians pronounce it Neh-eh-leh-nee-ah

[@Electricacid67]

Hope you saw my comment @josephashepherd !

[@user-pj7rk6xo6t]

the beverley hills hotel is owned by the Sultan of Brunei, he is the reason the gays are murdered in Brunei

[@abelcares2735]

I love the show and both of you. Seeing Laganja´s face when Joseph was reading the feedback comments was the best!

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

OMG! I got quoted! I feel famous. The name is Occam (as in Occam’s Razor which is the theory that the simplest solution is usually the answer). I like to be difficult. No razors, sledgehammer’s only.

[@morgenmuffel5747]

Frida Kahlo was an amazing and intriguing artist and human being - a true iconoclast that should be a recognized gay touchstone for a host of reasons. It’s sad that you guys are not familiar with her. Wishing Laganja all the best with her surgery and recovery

[@brugedo]

at first I thought Joseph was wearing speedos lol

[@soymxnuel]

Since we’re correcting the way we say queens names. Please pronounce Gala Varo right, thank you!☺️ Joseph, keep showing off them legs 🫠

[@carloscastro3039]

Laganja’s respect and admiration for the hispanic Culture gives me so much life!😊

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

7:40 I also recently saw Alyssa’s show. Laganaja, you are the next Alyssa Edwards. I can see it now. I feel like a proud mom. Sending you much love.

[@rossanovigna6275]

47:27 Joseph "at the end of the day" Shepherd was my comment, hahahahah ❣️

[@nando_chavez]

Thank you for the wardrobe choice, Joseph 😘

[@teddibear1153]

Joseph, your LEGS are amazing! If you are single in ur 50's, lets get married x yum!

[@Andreispunk]

yesss pabllo vittar and brazil mentioned love yall

[@tinabc4694]

The man spreading in the little shorts is definitely a choice

[@ohwowoh7281]

Ru said Vanity should have eliminated some of the pride flags for her look. I wonder which flag Ru thinks she should have gotten rid of and not represented on TV?

[@Shifty005]

Guys you have to learn about Frida Kahlo, you sounded like ignorants on the third gara valo look. That was when Frida got the accident and broke her spine.

[@caioo08]

[@JosephAShepherd]

My apologies. I’ll do some research and address for next episode. This makes a lot of sense

[@Brayton420]

I was one of the divas to comment on the timing of just Joe and Ganj talking vs the rucap, but tbh I wouldn’t mind another chill podcast with these two talking about life❤

[@Brayton420]

Also hate hearing creators having issues with copyright. We just need SOMEONE to bring a suit

[@rwb3562]

I did too and I agree I'd enjoy a life catch up podcast lol

[@Greyshadow511]

I work at a bar and I can totally tell when a drink isn't made right based on the color. And yes lime juice is green lol

[@mason5789]

The judging was a hot mess express with no brakes. The judges literally told Vanity verbatim her verse was the most memorable and then put her in the bottom??? Also I really hope the judges stop sleeping on Gala, she turns it for me. So glad y’all are continuing this pod, love from OK🫶🏻

[@SupergirlUK]

Omg the shoutout! 😂❤ I wish i sound that sassy 🥰

[@SupergirlUK]

i wanted to clarify, i dont dislike Kitty, just disappointed 🙈😂 (I guess my feelings can be likened to Phi Phi & Alyssa - AS2) Feeling like shes getting away with doing less, because of personality. Kittys wearing sub par outfits and acting camp on the runway (the only way to sell a bad outfit) and the judges are eating it up. Ep 5 (dont know if youve seen it yet) the brown runway, Kitty is in a bodysuit, says 'its giving Kardashian' (is it? 🤨) gets zero critiques on runway. I fully expected Michelle to say "in the challenge you were fantastic, but on the runway tonight.... it's a jumpsuit and coat" (cant you just hear Michelle saying that 💁‍♀️) And other queens with better looks get told its basic and the judges expect more from them 🤷‍♀️ Its frustrating as a veiwer :( Anyways no hate to Kitty, shes not at fault for her placements. The judging is just way off this season. Congrats to Laganja on her journey and to you for After Dark ❤😊 Ive been to Costa Rica, its beautiful, but your trip sounds like a cult 😅🙈 Be safe! ❤

[@adrianobier7593]

​@@SupergirlUK I totally get that. And for a lot less, the judges were ripping Tia Kofi to shreds on UK2. Choices...

[@real90sjesus]

I mean, Joseph Shepherd coudl SHRED me....

[@hiyahandsome]

You two are so cute and I look forward to Qweening Out each week, your friendship is wonderful and I love hearing what you both have to say. I agree that RuPaul is spreading herself too thin and I believe that she may be diluting the power of her brand by oversaturating the market. But ya gotta make hay while the sun shines. The riggory of the show bothers me more than the plethora of Drag Race franchises and shows, however. Love you both very much, and Laganja, all best wishes and extra love to you now as you begin a new chapter in your life.

[@e.koponen7226]

Laganja is for sure glowing this episode!

[@elbee4870]

[@scribbles215]

The kid/baby comment made me sad. If you’re staying at the hotel, are you not supposed bring your kids to the pool? Keep the baby and mom in the hotel room? I mean kids and babies are people. If you exclude them, then you will also exclude women, even if it is unintentional. Kids don’t just pop out at 18 as well-socialized and adjusted adults. They will be taking care of us in the nursing home so we should probably try to include them in the social world.

[@joeyaigot3499]

Just because Kween comes from down under doesn’t mean her first language is ENGLISH. She was raised in NZ in a heavily Polynesian populated area. Her first language is SAMOAN her 3rd language is ENGLISH. Clock that TEA.

[@JordanKelemen-d3w]

I wouldn’t say Brooke is a good judge, every season they have judged has had questionable results.

[@raul.vasconcelos]

I hear n I get when LaGanja say that Ru should be the one judging the "vs. The World" franchises, buuuuut with the latest episodes of Global All Stars I think we can all agree that Ru's theorical neutrality/partiality is totally out of the table. I really wish it wasnt the case, because all the queens in this cast (included the english speaking ones) are so good, there's not one of them who need to be play favorites or that arent capable to win this crown.

[@nathanmartin8640]

Laganja saying "I hope they change stuff for season two." like this dumpster fire is going to get another season.. lol..

Can't post links on KZbin - but read Tom and Lorenzo's review of Global All Stars and THIS episode. They aren't afraid to say what's up. And they say it well. Something about this Drag Race iteration is really depressing in its cynicism and lack of human regard.

[@anacaroline1365]

[@aaricadiaz2857]

Everyone is sleeping on gala varo and it’s starting to piss me off … her runway was 3 different Frida khalo paintings… it was a concept and Frida is world famous for being from Mexico … what does the sun, the moon and the stars have to do with USA … what does a baby stuck on your chest have anything to do with Brazil … you yts love to hate on Mexicans is what I see…

Sounds like you are saying you “used to” stay every summer so i’m going to assume you dont anymore. Maybe with time, things changed? Could that be a possibility? Cause both statements - yours and his - could still be true. Things change over time.

Thank you for separating the chit chat and the drag discussion because I don’t care about the first part lol. Sorry

[@Leslie-jm3yn]

After watching Iceis and Rajah and the few American queens and show hosts review franchises from around the world, it's become so clear how ignorant we Anericans are about the arts. I dont know what goes into these recap shows, but research isnt it, nor is listening to what the queens themselves say about their looks. American drag ala RuPaul's Drag Race is great for juveniles and people whose only references are pop culture. I didnt even watch season 15 because it's become so boring. Then you see European and Asian queens doing beautiful drag that's political abd references great art and movements throughout the ages and is deep. Still love y'all, but feeling a bit disappointed.
