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.
Between the unfocused storytelling, missing footage, and endless recaps, Joe and Lauri agree this episode proves Dragula can still be entertaining even when it’s a mess. The performances were fun, the cauldron was juicy, and JK officially won them over—but the production left both hosts screaming, “What the hell did we just watch?”
