Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Matt and Bowen discuss topics like performing while sick, working conditions for servers, Sarah Paulson's career, Golden Globe nominations, reality TV show speculations, surprising voice cast in a movie, considering energy levels, and craving more originality in an album.

The hosts rank the top 10 decades, discussing the impact of the 2010s and mentioning the 1970s. They explore John Hancock's signature and compare it to Rihanna's bold moments. The cultural significance of the 1920s and 2000s is discussed, along with TV shows like Succession and Mad Men. The contrasting perspectives of the 50s are explored, from nostalgic images to nuclear fears. Anecdotes from Studio 54 are shared as the hosts reflect on the passing of time.

Matt and Bowen discuss the cult docuseries 'Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God', cult aesthetics, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour film, Blue Ivy's dance journey, May December's chokehold on the culture, the song 'Candle In The Wind', and the differences between stew and soup.

Boob gays Matt & Bowen overcome the Sunday Scaries to catch up on the culture as of late. They react to May December and discuss Julianne Moore's lisp, Charles Melton's stunning performance and how the ending of the film recalls Tár. The hosts go on to anticipate The Color Purple, inquire about people who are somehow still Scientologists, and express how they feel when they are told to "shut the fuck up". 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.

Matt and Bowen rank their top 10 Grey's Anatomy characters from the early seasons, discussing the iconic characters of McSteamy and McDreamy, admiring Izzy Stevens, and highlighting the impact of Alex Karev and Dr. Bailey. They also discuss the musical inspiration behind Callie Torres, praise Kate Walsh's versatility, and engage with their audience while featuring ads/sponsors.

Surprise, our best late night host also happens to be a perfect podcast guest? And speaking of surprises, Matt surprises Bow with his favorite Percy Pigs (sourced by the angelic Emily Phillips!) and it’s off to the races! From unique “A” names to 5am gambling, Seth docks into a wide berth of topics with the boys. Listen with misty eyes as they discuss the Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa, that feeling when you crush a character set at 24 years old, and finally(!) getting on board with listening at 1.75x speed. 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? In any case, Seth Meyers really is the best, and the boys are very very excited to chat with him. Listen to “Family Trips with the Meyers Brothers” wherever you get your podcasts!

Cultcha Catsup. Matt and a mustachioed Bowen are gagged by season 3, episode 9 of The Morning Show (Reese?! Julianna?!?!) and preview the finale of the greatest series of all time. Matt gives another Vegas Update about the highlights of being mesmerized by the mesmers (pole dancers) at the Usher residency and going to BravoCon. They swoon over Seth Meyers, talk ruehmerrsssss about the rest of the RHOSLC season, preview Timothee’s upcoming SNL hosting gig and get into the season premiere of the Real Housewives of Potomac. All this, gettin up in drags, grinding at middle school dances, Ciara, “The Sphere”, meeting Jennifer Hudson, watching horror movies around other people on planes, and a dragging of whoever dared called a noise complaint on Bowen Yang’s housewarming/birthday party!

Matt and Bowen discuss Britney's revelations in her memoir, the backlash against Justin Timberlake, Bethenny's swing at Bravo, Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version), and sending out positive vibes for Matthew Perry. They also touch on punctuation vulnerability, the ubiquity of 'The Takedown Piece' in our culture, RHOBH premiere, Halloween costume ideas, and alcohol being everywhere.

Bowen is a little sickstress this week, so he's invited Matt to his new home to record an episode of Las Cultch and contract whatever he has. Stanley cups in hand, the two discuss, well, pop cultural topics! "Such as?" you ask? Well, Chappell Roan and Troye Sivan's latest albums, RHONY, the "sweeps" TV culture of yesteryear, and an oversaturation of the espresso martini. Also, Bowen MET LADY GAGA, Matt has a haunted weekend in Long Island at the Chambers of Hell, and BOWEN MET LADY GAGA. All this, handwriting vs. typing, earnestness vs. earnesty, a live pop songwriting session, and the naming of the Actress of the Millenium. More like OCTOBER flush and OUR flannel cure (the flannel being this episode). Bye!
