Drag Race Brasil: Snatch Game (2023) Season 1, Episode 6

First Snatch Game in Portuguese

[10/10 · 5 October 2023]

Mini Challenge is to get into drag in five minutes, dress up as a notorious pregnant woman native of São Paulo and partake in a photoshoot.

Maxi Challenge is the Snatch Game (showcasing impressions and improvisation skills) with heavy focus on Brazilian celebrities, for international viewers it is probably difficult to understand the subtleties of the jokes and the idiosyncrasies of the characters, but you will be entertained nevertheless.

Runway Theme is a well deserved Carmen Miranda hommage.

Great episode, BUT the host/judge must be impartial all the time and should not stand up and root for any contestant during a lip sync...

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars: Drag Race Gives Back Variety Extravaganza (2022) Season 7, Episode 11

It does not matter

[10/10 · 24 July 2022]

Do not get upset. Next week the best is going to win anyway: Jinkx. It's all show business. At the end of the show they're all going to eat pizza together. Just like wrestling...

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

They give the finger to the Laws of Physics

[5/10 · 3 August 2021]

The whole world is made of Styrofoam, the human body is made of rubber. Play GTA and you will have the same experience. So extremely absurd that it gets funny, if you do not sleep first...

RuPaul's Drag Race: Grand Finale (2021) Season 13, Episode 17

People don't seem to realize that this show was made during a time of war...

[10/10 · 25 April 2021]

... against a deadly virus. Many shows were cancelled for good. The interviews were kind of funny and the audience in the parking lot (imagine that!!!) seemed to be having some fun, too. I was rooting for Denali then Gottmik/Rosé, but Symone is great, too. Be grateful. See you in Drag Race Down Under...

The Father (I) (2020)

I just hope his daughter gets the same destiny

[10/10 · 31 March 2021]

When her time comes, shall his grandchildren put her in the same institution and even in the SAME ROOM of his. Quoting the movie: "It'd be better for HER". And finally, suggesting an idea for a Part 2 of the movie: he ultimately dies and reincarnates as her nurse...

Doors (I) (2021)

Actually the last 12 minutes are cool

[2/10 · 23 March 2021]

The final video interview is something like Wayne's World meets Cheech & Chong, a dork and a dude high on dope. Quite amusing. Made me *double* my rating from 1/10 to 2/20 !

RuPaul's Drag Race UK: Grand Finale (2021) Season 2, Episode 11

Do NOT take a Drag Show that seriously...

[10/10 · 19 March 2021]

... of course Bimini deserved the crown, nevertheless it was a great season taking into consideration the whole planet was in the terrible COVID-19 crisis. *Veronica Green* is back! So God help those queens on Season 3...

RuPaul's Drag Race: Freaky Friday Queens (2021) Season 13, Episode 11

Let's be honest, it was a great episode... until...

[9/10 · 13 March 2021]

... until 58:20... that decision deserves a 1/10. Well, a successful TV show is not linear: it must have love-hate polarization, drama, plot twists, resurrections... Particularly for this episode it is important that you watch "Untucked".

RuPaul's Drag Race: Corona Can't Keep a Good Queen Down (2021) Season 13, Episode 9

The best "behind-the-scenes" special episode ever

[10/10 · 27 February 2021]

Showing the show precautions during a time of planetary crisis. I really do not understand the bad rating...

Silk Road (2021)

Internet History Class

[8/10 · 21 February 2021]

I didn't know exactly what Silk Road was and I really don't understand the low ratings. You must know some computer terminology to understand the plot: IP address, bitcoin. One quote defines the whole movie " He's like the first millennial gangster". If you liked it, I recommend the movies about Snowden, Wikileaks and Pirate Bay.

Dr. Giggles (1992)

Best one-liners than Schwarzenegger or Freddy Krueger

[10/10 · 6 December 2020]

This movie is undoubtedly a gem of the horror genre. Dr. Giggles has on hand best funny one-liners than Arnold in Commando or Freddy Krueger in Nightmare. All the girls are pretty. Creepy scenery. Interesting revenge plot like Dr. Phibes. Cool quaint doctors wardrobe. Scary surgical devices from hell. And finally an amazing turn of tables. A must-see for all horror-comedy fans.

How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman (1971)

Read before about the methods of the cannibals

[10/10 · 8 October 2020]

In order to fully understand this movie, I strongly recommend the reading of chapter XI "A antropofagia ritual dos tupinambás" in the book "A RELIGIÃO DOS TUPINAMBÁS" written by Alfred Métraux. The film is very accurate to the depiction from surviving eyewitnesses.

Capone (2020)

The name of the film should be "Neurosyphilis"...

[8/10 · 1 June 2020]

...or "Mental and Biological Downfall of Capone". It is NOT a film for action and CGI fans. The protagonist is not a man, it is an illness. It depicts the horrific exploits of the most cruel and merciless gangster: sickness. Disease does not care in the least about how powerful or rich a man is. No epic drive-by shootings or liquidation of rivals with baseball bats, but: organic degeneration, torture from inside the body, mental self-implosion and madness followed by the all-redeming death. Lo and behold, it could be a despondent glimpse into anyone's future...
