"Huge Fornicators" (w/ Cate Blanchett)

Turns out that we, too, can command the winds, sir! Because CATE BLANCHETT, star of the new film Black Bag and (duh) countless other incredible films is here on Las Cultch for a very fun conversation! But first, a culture catch-up! Matt and Bowen run through their experiences at the Oscars, its after parties, and Gaga's episodes of SNL and LAS CULTURISTAS (which we still cannot believe). Then, the true GOAT of acting sits with our hosts to talk about what wearing white sneakers may mean for your sex life, Barbie and doll culture, Sydney's embrace of gay culture, and experiences at Berghain. Also, Cate weighs in on whether there are too many televised award shows, discusses her fascination with ribbon dancing and rhythmic gymnastics, and unpacks her lack of an acting process. And you KNOW that Tár is thoroughly discussed! All this, the word "buddy", the phrase "hakuna matata" and the nightmare of a toilet seat left up. You wanna fuck me, Barbara?!?! If not, it's fine! We hope you enjoy this episode anyway :) Black Bag is in theaters now!

"We're Gonna Dance" (w/ Lady Gaga)

So... LADY GAGA is on Las Culturistas. Somehow, we've reached the moment where the timeless artist herself sits down with Matt and Bowen to sort through the MAYHEM. The three chat about Gaga's incredible seventh album, rain as production value, choosing "Shallow" to perform at SNL50 and just how important SNL is to Lady Gaga and all the musical artists who get the opportunity to guest on the show. All this, dark arts and the poetry of pop music, transitioning from being a student of fame to being a student of entertainment, the role of humor in Gaga's creativity, the importance of the Chromatica Ball, how it really feels to be called "chaotic", and the choice to end her album with "Die With A Smile". Also, speaking up on trans rights at the Grammys, a tiny little preview of Coachella (but not really), Broadway hopes and dreams, whether or not a lighthearted film is in Gaga's future and how community is truly everything. What a perfect day! What a perfect pop icon for us all! And what perfect MAYHEM! Check out the album if you... haven't? But also... who are you? You should be OFF BOOK by now. Xo Killahs

All this, the fascinating story of how Liz came out to her parents, how getting a Cameo is stressful, season 3 of The White Lotus and its new theme song, and the fact that there are too many goddamn coffee places within a specific vicinity in Los Angeles.

All this, the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana as formative pop culture, becoming ~Tatiana~ on stage, playing with pigs in Tokyo, man bun culture, hip culture, and how Carplay often leads to conflict.

?Climbing Cringe Mountain? (w/ Matt & Bowen)

Matt and Bow climb cringe mountain, jump off the cringe plane flying Cringe Airlines and plummet to the ground as if they've fallen from a coconut tree on this always entertaining, occasionally fecal episode of Las Culturistas. If you've not been living in the context of all in which you exist and has come before you, don't worry, because our hosts are here to catch you up on Kamala's BRAT summer, Biden's departure from the 2024 Presidential Race, and SNL's sketch characterizations of political figures past, present and future. Also, Bowen was nominated for an Emmy!, our stomachs as "second brains", Remi Wolf, the power of cucumber, the greatness of The Comeback, and the plot of the movie Simon Birch. This episode is unburdened by what has been. Bless!

Y'all are about to be sponge. Finally, Hannah Einbinder is on Las Cultch!
