"Nicole Wants An Awful Psychic" (w/ Nicole Byer)

Fashion! Politics! Entertainment! This episode of LC kind of has all those things! What it definitely has is best in the biz guest Nicole Byer! Nicole and the boys get into how we'd do the pandemic differently, escape room techniques, how all male flight attendants are gay, reveal the REAL MCU, and anticipate Cowboy Carter just days before its release. Also, what it feels like to fly in a film, selling the joke, Goodfellas, Oda Mae Brown culture, Christian Siriano, Jenifer Lewis's recent accident and recovery, how Madame Web was maybe good, how Fed Ex can kinda suck and the battle between water based and silicon based personal lubricant. All this, and Nicole demands Matt give her the information of a bad, harmful psychic that made him distrust Bowen Yang. Go see The American Society of Magical Negroes in the CINEMA!

"GAYFIGHT" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

On fair Las Cultch, where we set our scene: It's Matt's birthday, Bowen is straight and there is culture to be caught up on. Traitors is recapped, Kristen Johnston is praised, and what truly makes a great sequel is debated. All this, Beyoncé's acting era, recent Bravo legal drama, and Drag Race thoughts. Also, is "insecurity" being overused as an excuse? Is Boba Fett just a big bitch? Did YOU vote? Much to discuss this week on LAS CULTURISTAS... the PODCAST! It's about to be a-- what?!-- gayFIGHT!

"The Promise of the Premise" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

This installment of Las Cultch delivers on the promise of the premise. Yeah, we saw the Super Bowl. Usher? We've heard of him. Taylor and Travis? Honey, we're well aware. And hey, how about this for one word: Beyoncé. All of this and more (such as The Traitors, Lady Gaga as a sports fan, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, and the place of horses in culture) is discussed by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. The latter of those two even starred in a Super Bowl commercial, in a world where movie trailers count as commercials. That movie trailer? Wicked! In the words of The Wicked Witch of the West, what a world! Who do you think is next to slay a Super Bowl halftime show? Do you think T Swift's fame has become too much for one human being? Are you a tortured poet and do you have a department? Many questions to ponder and topics to discuss on this ep! Solargenic. Photogenic. Shoot.

All this, RHOM, RHOBH, RHOP, a scheduling and planning of Matt & Bowen's ultimate EGOT wins, what the Kennedy Center Honors for Mariah Carey might be like, whether or not we need reputation TV just yet, Disney's Wish and that company's weird year, and whether or not we can just have good old fashioned "mama slay" for once.

Plus the metacomedy of ?May December? at upcoming awards shows and the enduring beauty of ?My Best Friend?s Wedding.? Listen for Seth?s impeccable Garry Marshall impression and won?t you try and guess which acclaimed actresses are obsessed with falling into pools and jumping on the bed as scene pitches?

"A Perfect Pure Injection of Fun Fancy Free" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

Matt & Bowen may be back in little boxes on a computer, but that doesn't mean they're not injecting you right in the little veins with a culture catch up for the ages. After Matt's two-Eras-Tour weekend and Bowen's one-canceled-Carly Rae-concert-Monday, there is much to discuss, such as Alex Newell in Shucked, Patti LuPone's upcoming shows at Cherry Grove, being in indictment watch for the third time (got him! btw), the Lizzo of it all, psychics, and getting fingered. All this, how GHB is kinda taking over the gay community and TBH it's a little weird, pros and cons of the new RHONY, mass uncoupling and how dating can feel like doom, establishing routines, adjusting to new medication and Grindr sucking in more ways than one.

"Bottom's Choice" (w/ Patrick Rogers)

HAUS! Readers, it is time for you to meet a sister. Dear friend of Matt and Bowen, Patrick Rogers, joins our hosts to tackle culture and be their astral guide. Nicole Kidman's AMC ad: how much longer are we doing this? Should we ever stop? Should it reboot? It's discussed. Matt and Bowen reveal something huge about when they went to see Oppenheimer. The girls discuss Iceland's pleasures, Björk's genius, Taylor's Eras... and next era, what they want to see from Lorde, and Tina Knowles Lawson's Instagram. Also, the Renaissance World Tour was attended for the second time, and Matt, Bowen and Patrick guess what Act II of Renaissance will hold for Beyhive members. All this, attending a Spice Girls concert in the midwest dressed as Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham at large, what happens when someone Leaves The Band, RHOBH, RHONY new and old, a preview of Ubah Hassan's hot sauce taste test, Bethenny's whole deal recently, summer, "global boiling", the expensive art world and restaurant group sizes.

?Forever-Coded? (w/ Matt & Bowen)

The dolls are in back the room, and by dolls we mean pills, of course. Bowen runs into Matt?s loving embrace and the two marvel at the beautiful fan-bound Rules of Culture book. They r-e-m-i-n-i-s-c-e on all the culture of the last few weeks, starting with the single biggest monocultural release of the year (?Barbie?) and promptly discuss the meaning of the double strike era we are officially in. Opinions on the new RHONY women finally take shape which officially means this reboot is in full swing, and isn?t that a beautiful thing? Further discussion covers ?And Just Like That? and the latest addition to Troye Sivan?s anal oeuvre before they boys launch into their IDTSHs, and that?s what we call a forever-coded friendship.

"Marimba Spirit" (w/ Zane Phillips)

Piccolo-voiced culturista Matt Rogers is joined by his close friend, bassoon-throated actor Zane Phillips, on this episode of Las Culturistas to discuss being a lil academic smart girl, science fairs, hot coffee-and-crossword culture, and serving STEM at a young age. Also, coming up in the queer "scat pack" (lol noooo), playing against type when you are A Type, and why superhero movies are so washed out as of late. All this, America's Next Top Model and the act of transformation, Television Without Pity and recap culture, how Survivor has changed, how The Traitors should change, a rundown of playable Super Smash Bros. characters, a searing takedown of Mario Kart's Rainbow Road, and an honest discourse on the state of soup. Readers? We want to be culminated in you. And you will want to be culminated in THIS... episode! Of Las Cultch!

"Floozy" (w/ Miss Benny)

To be the star of a series called "Glamorous", you kinda have to have that X Facta, you see. And Miss Benny just so happens to have THAT to spare. She joins Matt (Bowen is on break!) on this episode of Las Cultch to discuss shooting Glamorous with a big old queer cast, the "Star or Actress" game, how Glee low key changed things, And Just Like That's return to our screens, the process of selecting a wig, "having that effect of people", nudity and how to correctly objectify men on TV. Also, America's Next Top Model shaping reality TV culture and introducing Miss Benny to Isis King, how no one could ever be Survivor's Parvati, and the question of whether or not we would fuck Santa. All this, pop girls getting shit thrown at them, social media changing and evolving (derogatory), and a re-telling of the time Matt and Miss Benny went to a talkback for Jessica Simpson's Open Book and PETA jumped out. Miss Benny is a superstar and Glamorous is a blast! Stream it now on Netflix.
