Matt and Bowen celebrate their 200th episode by counting down the Top 200 Moments in Culture History. They discuss ocean exploration, Alaska's Snatch Game, and Birdo's gender evolution. The hosts explore the legacy of Michael Jackson, Dakota Fanning's career, and iconic cultural moments. They debate the ending of a movie and discuss Regina King, Alison Williams, and Whitney Houston's unforgettable performance. Additionally, they delve into the cultural impact of Beanie Babies and Furby toys.

Matt and Bow have a new daddy! And it's comedy legend Will Ferrell. Not to brag! Of course, by daddy we mean PRODUCER, as Will has just begun his new podcast platform Big Money Players Network, which Las Culturistas is so proud to be a part of! The boyz talk Will's new film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which comes out on Netflix on June 26th, working with Rachel McAdams and Demi Lovato, and how a trip to Sweden inspired the film. They also dive into Eurovision culture, the polarizing initial reaction to Anchorman, how working at SNL inspired the rest of Will's comedy choices, and the ways in which Ron Burgundy is interacting with 2020 on The Ron Burgundy Podcast. Also, can you fucking believe Will's culture that made him say culture was for him is "Disneyland Character Meet and Greet Culture"?! The Cultchas are gonna have to almost pass OUT at THAT one. All this, the tale of how Matt and Bowen used to perform the Jaws Universal Studios attraction live on stages in NY (Bowen was the shark), and so much god damn more. A moment for the pod!

Matt and Bowen are fully swollen with pride to welcome drag artist, activist, absolute icon and candidate for New York City Council, the one and only Marti Gould Cummings to the podcast.

Marti details their recent violent and traumatic arrest by the NYPD while they were peacefully protesting police brutality, and it's a must-hear. Also, discussion on Marti's "culture that made them say culture was for them": Princess Diana. Strap in, it's a ride, and contains a story about how Marti once said the word "pussy" in front of Princess Beatrice. Also: Mulan as queer icon, Kelly Clarkson and how being in quarantine can affect relationships, "mask performance", J.K. Rowling dragging. Daniel Radcliffe worshipping, the Real Housewives franchise, and how drag has evolved in the last decade. DEFUND THE POLICE. REMOVE COLUMBUS. VOTE FOR MARTI. xo!
