"Days of Searching" (w/ Margaret Cho and Rocco Stowe) Mar 14, 2018

Show notes

Are you ready for this?

Matt & Bowen make the pilgrimage to the epicenter of culture, West Nyack NY, to interview a true living legend -- someone who has made substantial cultural and personal impacts on Matt & Bow. Just to give you an idea -- Matt was so excited that he was re-arranging the furniture in the hotel lobby before the interview. She is joined by the hilarious Rocco Stowe, who is opening for her during her new tour, FRESH OFF THE BLOAT (and is also her boyfriend). Please welcome, the legendary, the one-of-a-kind, Margaret Cho!

And before you even ask, yes -- they DO talk about Singapore's draconian marijuana laws! But more importantly, they get into Margaret's current tour, FRESH OFF THE BLOAT, performing abroad during Trump's presidency, the #MeToo movement, and weed culture. It's a veritable feast, so DIG IN!

"Advanced Actresses" (w/ Tyler Coates) Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

He is the original Conjuring Cat. He is peak Grizabella. He is…the most cultured guest EVER to grace the LC mic. Tyler Coates is here - and class is in session.

Tyler saw Bernadette Peters on Broadway more times than you did (listen and check and report back to me). Tyler saw Beauty And The Beast ON ICE as a child (and it was formative - can you say the same?). And if that wasn’t enough culture - the man has seen CATS THE MUSICAL!! Yes honey, Tyler’s “culture that defined him” is Cats the Musical - so buckle up the little ones and rum tum tug on this spicy podcast.

Jennifer Lawrence gets dragged. The Oscars get dragged (Kobe Bryant?? Seriously???). Even Balloons get dragged. Like the famous saying goes: “no one is safe from these Advanced Actresses!”

"Stinka" (w/ Sam Taggart) Feb 28, 2018

Show notes

Quick tip: You HAVE to be visual!

Club Comic, Self-Taught Drummer, Repeat Guest, and STINKA Sam Taggart joins Matt & Bo in the new "work in progress" FDPN studio for an episode that will have you singing! No cultural stone goes UNTURNED: they talk Antoni from Queer Eye, Omorosa, Fish Women, Arepas, Clive Davis being an asshole, the aftermath of Jennifer Aniston's breakup (beautifully rendered live on mic through improvisation), Drag Race, SJP, and -- you guessed it -- more! Plus, Sam reveals the name of his new cologne, "Crust Prep"; Matt receives a text saying that Frozen on Broadway's version of "Let It Go" is the gag of the century; and Bowen has hate in his heart for Kings Of Leon.

"Wine on Wisteria" (w/ Matt Bellassai) Feb 21, 2018

Show notes

Don’t murder me, I’ll be fine! It’s a special day when you're with Matt Bellasai. And, thankfully...we’re with Matt Bellasai. The icon is here and all he has to do is mouth the words “Desperate Housewives” in front of Matt & Bow to turn this episode into a rollicking ride. They talk Housewives, the TRAGEDY of missing a DH episode before there was DVR — as well as Matt quitting Facebook, fans being WAY too familiar with Bellasai on tour, Please Like Me, Queer Eye, being high at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Bowen's relationship with the Oxford Comma, and dare I say, more? PLEASE NOTE: This episode is all about COMMUNICATION!

"Amazon Penis Fish" (w/ Annie Donley) Feb 14, 2018

Show notes

The Goddess, the Queen, the Empress, the True Blue Culturista, the Biggest Treat Of Them All, Queen of Kingdom Queef, Puss-tastic and Mega Madness, you can’t handle the bitch….it’s Annie Donley.

This episode is fully insane. It is catharsis. It is medicine. It is delicious. It will make you say, mmmmm…..fuck me sex god. You will hear tales of the Amazonian Penis Fish, you will hear of musical acts that CHANGED PARAMETERS, you will hear of AJ the Backstreet Boy and that time he tipped his hat, you will hear about that time Annie was slapped by a gay man in the women’s restroom of a Houston Gay Bar. And on top of all that, a BIG AWARD is presented and Matt & Bow address Annie Donley’s unborn baby directly.

"Gay Ne Sais Quoi" (w/ Janeane Garofalo) Feb 07, 2018

Show notes

She's an absolute icon and NOT Generation X! The hilarious Janeane Garofalo stops by the studio before Matt & Bowen depart for Orlando to weave a brilliant tapestry of her cultural upbringing and to discuss the insanity of American politics, the sweeping generalizations of social media, and the challenges we face now that the world's gone DIGITAL. It's a thoughtful, fun, and dare I say enlightening conversation that will make you laugh AND think at the same time!

What else? Stories from Season 7 of 24? (Cherry Jones has the gravitas!) Crushes from the set of Wet Hot American Summer? A song about Space Mountain? It's time...LISTEN!

“Constant Comment” (w/ Nathan Lee Graham) Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

Simply, one of the best episodes ever - written AND performed by artist, actor, singer, writer, director, Grammy-award winning Las Culturistas icon Nathan Lee Graham. Basically, all you need to know is that Nathan comes into the studio with a piece of paper that has SEVEN “I Don’t Think So, Honey's!” pre-prepared - that’s the level of craftsmanship we’re speaking about here.

For real: Nathan is one of the kindest people to roll into this studio and one of the most gracious interviewees. Sorry folks, a pro is a pro and we can ALL learn something from Nathan Lee Graham.

Hear about Nathan’s amazing career, his new show “LA to Vegas”, PLENTY of Zoolander gossip, and much, much more (Eartha Kitt, Toni Collette, the Grammys….you know…Las Culturistas!)

This episode is an…”iconic drop”.

“I don’t have to star in anything, but I do have to steal it” - Nathan Lee Graham.

“When They Fly, I Cry” (w/ Jeff Hiller) Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

What is it like to meet Ru Paul? Jeff Hiller fills you in! And what is it like to audition for Sondheim? Jeff Hiller fills you in! And what it is like to meet Jeff Hiller? Jeff is a 80s sitcom savant who was in Shakespeare In The Park - that’s how it is! A god damn delight! AND he let’s us know who is allowed to do stand-up at his funeral (is it you? Listen and find out!)

ALSO: The Oscar noms are out, so you know Las Culturistas is diving in! Which of course leads the whole crew over the award show deep end - Matt, Bowen, and Jeff explore the Emmys, Grammys, Golden Globes, Tonys, Kennedy Center Honors, ETC. And you think it’s just the award shows? Dead wrong. This is Las Culturistas, so you know Matt and Bo are talking “Divas, Divas, Divas” - Sutton Foster, Jennifer Hudson, Audra McDonald (farting), and more are all “Topical Fish” this time around.

Rule #4 Of Culture: “People Don’t Touch ‘A Funny Thing’….”

"And, Honey, The Oscar Goes To..." (w/ Nathaniel Rogers) Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Your Award Show Authority is here! Matt & Bowen invite Nathaniel Rogers, creator and owner of The Film Experience blog, onto Cultch this week to discuss the best films & performances of the year, Award Show snubs, the wonders of Michelle Pfeiffer, and all the other essential tidbits you'll need to know before Oscar noms are announced on January 24th! Plus, Nathaniel dishes on the Jennifer Lawrence blowback he received during her Winter's Bone award tour, Matt advocates for a Nancy Kerrigan biopic "I, Nancy", and Bowen has absolutely had it with Alexander Payne! And if you're wondering whether these three have an answer to the question, "What Is January Jones Doing?" (just in general), they don't!

"Cable Queen" (w/ Naomi Ekperigin) Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

The air is thick with culture...can you feel it? That's because the physical embodiment of culture, the Cable Queen herself, Naomi Ekperigin, is in-studio with Matt & Bowen! And you KNOW they have news to discuss: Golden Globes? Oprah? The CONVERSATION about Oprah? Natalie Portman? Natalie Portman on Insta? Oscar Predictions? And of course, they get into the cornerstones of Naomi's cultural upbringing: The Baby-Sitters Club, Angela from Boy Meets World, Horror Movies, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid Of The Dark?.
