"Speaking of Hailee Steinfeld..." (w/ guest host Joel Kim Booster) Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Technical difficulties in the Dominican Republic iconically keep Bowen from recording this week, so Matt's other soulmate and fellow Gay Cold Survivor Joel Kim Booster jumps in quite literally last second to co-host a culture catchup that the readers de-SERVE despite the fact that Matt is not one of Joel's favorite friends (because of race). It's a lot of gay nonsense and also deep dives on these topics: RIP to T'Challa Samuels, Erika Girardi's potential guilt, Black Widow, Loki, what we're doing with Gugu Mbatha Raw, Space Jam 2 and Joel's upcoming Fire Island movie based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. Also, Matt and Joel call back to their podcast "Matt, Joel and the Search for the Next Elle Woods" to name a Cousin of the Week. IYKYK. See you next week... for a LEGENDARY episode........... aooo!!!

“DEATH! To All of Them!” Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

After this past weekend hit them like a ton of bricks (Bow more so), the jester besties share their thoughts on the chaos of Pride, and how the new tradition may actually be to Be a Bitch to Any Old Acquaintance In Your Immediate Vicinity This Pride. Reflections on the already-historic/histrionic Madonna Boom Boom Room party take up their necessary space as the boys talk about the expectations vs. reality of any situation, but particularly how it hits different when you smoke some wild-ass reefer. After some choice words about quote-tweet culture and on the beginnings of Drag Race All Stars 6, Bowen randomly starts getting emotional about what Conan O’Brien means to him which is probably due to drugs but he still means it. IDTSHs eventually open up discussions about Jamie Lynn Spears’s fecklessness and ice at parties before the boys close on their quick thoughts about “Planet Her” and the new Tyler, The Creator. It’s a wild one, folks. Happy post-Pride!

Show notes

Coming to us from a literal underground opal mine in Australia, it's actual icon and genuine world treasure Alan Cumming!!! What?! And! Anyone that thinks you can't pull together a top notch Las Culturistas episode with a guest on the other side of the damn globe?! Eat it! We talk the recent Eurovision victors, what Pride means lately, the need to choose fun over darkness in both life and work, highlights of working on Spice World, Spy Kids, X2, Cabaret and Josie and the Pussycats, how Americans really don't understand camp, directing the amazing new scripted podcast Hot White Heist starring one BOWEN YANG (heard of her?!), being a playable character in the Goldeneye video game on N64, creatively visualizing the upcoming Shmigadoon, going to a nude beach with Ian McKellen, how Los Angeles is sort of like Hershey, Pennsylvania if you think about it, how children's theater changed Alan's life, not wanting to talk about acting or hang out with actors, and the haven that is Club Cumming.

"Who Is The Busy?" (w/ Busy Philipps) Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

If you had told Matt and Bowen when they were arguing years ago at the Emmys about "who was the Busy and who was the Michelle" that one day Busy would be on their gay little podcast, they would have eaten their hats! Well yum yum yum I hope the boys have a hankering for their own damn caps because Busy Philipps is here on Las Cultch! Talking about everything! Becoming a goddamn math teacher during the pandemic, raising brilliant gen-z children, how Blake Shelton actually has "the sparkle" in person, the impact of People Magazine culture, what happened when Busy's grandmother came through during a session with a medium, the bangers on the Girls5Eva soundtrack, when entertainment media crosses the line, "freak numbers", Dua Lipa, and the state of produce in New York City. Are you an adult that has had strep throat? What do you think of the name "Mac Rogers"? Are YOU the Busy or the Michelle of your best friendship? Just some questions based on a *thunderously joyful* episode of LC with a true icon: Busy! Listen to the podcast Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best, watch Girls5Eva on Peacock and have a great fucking day!

"S.O.L. (Shit Outta Luck)" (w/ Celeste Yim) Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Readers? This episode is gonna be perfect for you. It's a hot, sweaty threesome of an ep with the luminous and hilarious Celeste Yim (SNL), who is a straight up film festival brat, former prodigious torrenter, and low key roast master that Matt and Bow are simply tickled to have on the damn show! On this ep, JUNO as both a script and film, and extended flowers-giving to Diablo Cody, Jennifer Garner and Elliot Page. Also, Jennifer's Body and Whip It! as underrated pieces of cinema, the moments that all the fools on this ep learned that writing was something they could even do, a Top Chef and Padma check-in, occasionally feeling shame about liking, pursuing and doing comedy, wi-fi drama that is actually compelling, and the answer to the question "Where do we stand on 'hamburger phone' being a thing?" All this, anger at reservation culture, how Disneyland is a struggle as of late, and an attack on sunsets by Bowen with one of the hottest takes of all time. Listen now, or you'll be S.O.L. ...... bitch!!!!!!

"Matt & Bow's Serotonin Deficit Spectacular" Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

Unfortunately the boys were rode hard and put away wet by their respective Memorial Day Weekends. But that doesn't mean they can't catch up on the Cultch. Mare of Easttown finale? Discussed in full, babe. Turn back to avoid spoilers. But spoiler alert for this episode: we fucking loved it. Also, Friends reuniting, the reboot of In Treatment, Legendary's new season, RHONY thus far, Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR and the music it brings back from our youth, how cocaine is not "That Girl" and when to avoid interacting with others (when you are on your molly comedown). It's a Matt and Bow solo ep! We back!
