    Hello Uglies – Titans Season 2, Episode 2: “The Monsters of Rock: Cyberpussy” In this episode of Hello Uglies, Joe Betance and Lauri Roggenkamp take on the electrifying—and chaotic—second episode of Dragula: Titans Season 2, “The Monsters of Rock: Cyberpussy.” The monsters are bussed into the desert for a mysterious cyberpunk music challenge that promises rock, rebellion, and a touch of confusion. Joe and Lauri unpack one of the strangest Dragula challenges yet, where the Boulet Brothers send the monsters to an outdoor festival without ever explaining what’s actually happening. Lauri notices the production cracks early—missing context, endless setup scenes, and a suspicious amount of time watching people walk around in the desert. Joe questions the Boulet Brothers’ editing choices, calling this episode “a masterclass in bad reality-show producing.” The hosts debate whether Jaharia truly earned her win, with Joe arguing the competition logic was murky at best. Lauri surprises herself by becoming a full-fledged JK fan, citing the queen’s sharp humor and standout moments in the cauldron. The duo relives the chaos of the cauldron: Loris’s self-doubt, La Zavaleta’s unpredictable detours, and the infamous “ketamine prescription” confrontation. Joe and Lauri both clock the return of Dragula’s classic inconsistency—wild concepts, shaky execution, and some genuinely funny moments that keep them watching anyway.

    Dragula Titans Season 2: Halloween House Party II
    Oct 13 2025
    🕸️ Hello Uglies: Titans Season 2, Episode 1 — “Halloween House Party 2” The monsters are back from the grave, and so are Joe and Lauri! In this premiere of Dragula: Titans Season 2, the Boulet Brothers resurrect fourteen ghouls for another round of filth, horror, and glamour. The fright feat? Pulling pins from a voodoo doll. The main challenge? A Halloween House Party sequel and lip-sync battle to the Boulets’ own song. And the extermination? Let’s just say it’s a literal cliffhanger. Joe opens up about juggling podcasting and jury duty while Lauri reminds him she’s heard it all before. The duo unpack the Meet Our Monsters drama, discuss returning contestants, and debate whether this season feels more like Who Said Yes? than Titans. Joe rants about the Boulets’ beard-contouring disaster, over-edited floor shows, and their forgotten sense of imagination. Lauri insists Sigourney’s self-confidence is earned while Joe brands her “too safe.” The two dissect early alliances, fake rivalries, and how Dragula sometimes sabotages its own queens. Evah Destruction’s endless talking, Cynthia Doll’s volume, and Disasterina’s accent chaos all come under fire. The new Ghost Host makes his grand return, serving graveyard glamour with haunting narration for each selected look. Joe and Lauri critique Evah’s winning Grim Reaper look, La Zavaleta’s “bedsheet ghost,” Priscilla’s disco werewolf, and Sigourney’s slightly under-contoured devil. They tackle the new voting twist, Dollya's strategic power move, and whether Dragula’s “anti-Drag Race” roots are slowly fading away. 📧 Email: hellouglies@afterthought.media 🎙️ Leave a voicemail: speakpipe.com/afterthoughtmedia 💸 Support exclusive content: patreon.com/afterthoughtmedia Produced by Denis Escolero Special Thanks to our Expensive Tier Patreon Supporters Hello Uglies is an Afterthought Media Podcast.
