"Fold Em & Roll Em" (w/ Sydnee Washington & Marie Faustin)
Birds of a feather fly together. And these two birds of a feather have invited two other birds of a feather to come over and build a NEST of culture…together. Sydney Washington & Marie Faustin (The Unofficial Expert Podcast) join Matt and Bo in an episode that had potential titles including ”Chelsea-Boot Dick,”Paper Trail On This Pussy,”Grenada and Toledo,” “Cocaine Blinks,” and “You Can’t Eat The View.”How good is this ep?? Bowen Yang famously tweeted out that this is “the best ep so far…t’s true.” Bowen wrote this even though he knows that it includes the chilling legacy of his family’s home movie theater. AND Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp make their "Voice Mem-OH-you-bitch" debut!---LAS CULTURISTAS HAS A PATREON!

"Sisters" (w/ Aaron Jackson & Josh Sharp)
Listen up folks: it's time to finish Ru Paul's Drag Race: All Stars 3 the RIGHT way - by going through every single Queen with The Opposition's Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp! This is the only Drag Race recap that matters; every other Drag Race recap is trash and doesn't respect the craft. And therefore, Aaron and Josh are able to lay into the Queens as if no one is listening!Did Trixie really deserve this? Do we even like Shangela? What do we think of Ben, Kennedy, BeBe, and Aja? What does this mean for Season 10? For All Stars 4? Are Arron and Josh the greatest return-guests of all time? Tell us in the G.D. comments!Not supporting your local drag queen?

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!

"Advanced Actresses" (w/ Tyler Coates)
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!”LAS CULTURISTAS HAS A PATREON!
