Are you yearning for a laugh-out-loud comedy? Check out this review of ‘Stop! That! Train!’, a campy, high-energy disaster movie spoof starring the absolute royalty of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Saw this in the theatre on a recent Sunday morning at 9:20 am. Was it unreasonably early to enjoy the movie? Most people thought so as there were only four of us in the theatre which made it feel like a private screening which is always enjoyable.
RuPaul’s “Drag Race” royalty were in full character in this non-stop stream of comedy. It has been a long time since a comedy made me laugh as often as Stop! That! Train!. This brilliant parody film clearly channels the spirit of “Airplane!” but in this case the disaster waiting to happen switches airplane with train. It takes a chaotic ensemble cast, throws them into an impossible train emergency, and delivers a wild & crazy film that needs to be re-watched just to catch all the jokes.
This LGBTQIA+ film was released in Pride month June 2026 in theaters. While the movie features plenty of Hollywood cameos, it’s the queens who engineer the story-line with their impeccable comedic timing and delivery.
The main cast is RuPaul (President Gagwell), Matt Rogers (Press Secretary), Ginger Minj (Tess), and Jujubee (DeeDee), in addition to the pretentious first-class crew played by Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia, and Symone.
With surprise appearances rolling in one after another, the film delivers a steady serving of celebrity cameos. It ups the comedic stakes for a group of passengers who are fully aware of the impending derailment, trapped on a high-speed bullet train hurtling directly into the ‘Stormaganza.'” Without spoiling the surprises, be on the look out for Sarah Michelle Gellar, Chris Parnell and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, to name a few.
We need more reasons to laugh in these times, so grab your ticket and hop aboard the luxurious Glamazonian Express!
GO! SEE! STOP! THAT! TRAIN! before it derails itself out of theaters. If you missed it, it will be streaming relatively soon.
