Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Sound the Icon Alert!!! We don't have one? We gotta get one. IT IS TRULY a glorious day because Garcelle Beauvais is joining Matt & Bowen on Las Culturistas! Look at God! And they're asking the hard questions: did her Spiderman: Homecoming character Doris Toomes survive the snap and the blip? Does she even know what any of that means? The answer might not shock you. What do we need to know regarding the BTS of working with Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Michael Jordan and, yes, Will Smith? And what can we espect to go down on the new season of RHOBH? What goes down in ASPEN?!?!? All this, coming to America (lol) from Haiti and discovering R&B music, the visceral movie star sexuality of Brad Pitt in Thelma & Louise, maintaining your "front row" relationships, finally *some* Oscars decompressing, and the very REAL camaraderie between the ladies of The Real. Garcelle's memoir Love Me As I Am is out on April 12th, and you'll be better for reading it. We have been touched by greatness!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best thing you can do is not ignore, but rather, LISTEN TO this episode of Las Culturistas because, bitch, BETTY WHO is the guest. One of Matt & Bowen's favorite artists joins them in person in LA to discuss naming wigs and hair as expression, hanging in there in the music industry through ups and downs, touring, the importance of rehearsal, and the question of WWBD (Beyonce...and Britney!) Also! Britney as formative culture, always getting the moms in the crowd on her side with Betty's cover of "I Love You Always Forever", playing every Pride in America, and queering up the lives of the straight men you know. All this, cannibalism fever, how TikTok is running the music industry, performing on The Bachelorette and how sometimes a Glee Cast Version can go all the way off. It's fucking Betty Who everybody! We woke up and chose violet for this one... STREAM THIS WOMAN.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SO. Matt and Bowen blacked out at the Critics Choice Awards and discuss what they remember, which leads into a discussion on how critics shape culture and what gets seen and heard by the masses. Also, how the CCAs are becoming the new Golden Globes, Jane Campion going good viral and then bad viral in 24 hours, the Oscar race turning in CODA's favor, Charli XCX and her new album CRASH, Showtime popping off, Melanie Lynskey finally getting hers, and the joy of Sunday. All that, Katy Perry's PLAY Vegas residency, Dua on tour, allergy season during COVID, and what NOT to ask. Betty Who next week!!!!

Um, is it absolute Tolkien vibes? Because it is the return of the KING. SNL superstar and Montezuma’s nemesis Ego Nwodim joins Matt and Bow in-studio and don’t you even DARE tell her what to do. She’s a bona fide rom-com legend in “Love Life,” okay?! The trio talks ideal vacations, Wikipedia lies, Euphoria High, and unfortunately, Ego and Bowen’s lack of sexual chemistry. Also we invite all the publicists to decide whether or not the “Cis and Sissy” sketch is a flop or a slay based on the live reading(!) of this incredibly stupid table draft.

LAS CULTCH HAS A NEW IMAGE. And to mark that epic new era..well, Jesus, we're sorry you have to see this one... because Josh and Aaron have returned. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle F*g. Fifth time! If we had jackets for that time of thing, they'd get them. But we don't. Anyways, this one is sheer chaos from the jump. They are the writers and stars of a dirty snuff film with music that is a freak project that will be banned in many countries. It's called F*cking Identical Twins and it isn't out yet! Someday later! Good luck to all people who listen to this and please understand we recorded it before Russia invaded Ukraine, which we do have to say and stress. I'm obsession, I kiss. Listen to this podcast. IT'S.... FREEEEEEEE! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To celebrate the fact that Las Culturistas is now being cited in academic work, the owner of popular culture Louis Virtel (Keep It! podcast, Jimmy Kimmel Live) finally joins our women to rant at the table. Readers! This is the one you've been waiting for. A full-on Oscars download as the nominations are reviewed... dissected, even! Gaga's snub?! Did we cause it? Something to think about. Also, Wheel of Fortune and game show culture, the experience of actually competing on televised game shows, an analysis of the stigma around Laura Dern stanhood, Kirsten's Oscar moment at long last and a long overdue discussion of the legendary Gilda Radner.
