Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

The boys are BACK in so many ways. They're back from break, back from shooting the Culture Awards and, in Bowen's case, back from China! All of which is discussed, but also? So much more! This episode runs the gamut! Matt & Bowen talk about getting your last will and testament together, being too anxious to have a pet, how David Corenswet is perhaps America's hottest living man and the fact that Superman was really funny! Also, the boys say the name "Ghislaine" out loud once more and share how The Last Dab kicked their collective ass on Hot Ones. All this, childproof packaging on weed being too restrictive for dumb adults (Matt), Lababu AND Lafufu culture getting its talons into easily manipulated consumers (Bowen) and how THE CULTURE AWARDS ARE ON BRAVO AUGUST 5TH AND STREAMING THE NEXT DAY ON PEACOCK (Both)! Please watch, stream, and more. We love ya! The category is watch... or die... (better get that will prepared now!) xo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt & Bowen welcome a true icon in every sense: Sarah Jessica Parker! The star of Sex and the City, And Just Like That and so, so, so much more stops by to discuss the evolution of her shoe game alongside Carrie Bradshaw's, living in a baseball home, and how A Chorus Line unlocked her need to have a passion for a passion. Also, SJP on Broadway in Annie, Once Upon A Mattress and Plaza Suite, the impact of SNL50 on a New Yorker like herself, her friendship with Amy Sedaris, shooting the wedding sequence from Sex and the City: The Movie, and how New York City COMPELS. All this, what it feels like to re-visit Carrie throughout the years, Molly Shannon, Cincinnati, going to the movies to see Ferris Bueller with a young Martha Plimpton and how maybe... Carrie should have given Paris more of a chance. A terrific time spent with one of the greats of all time! Watch And Just Like That on HBO Max! But we bet you already are! Bonsoir!

Matt + Bowen high key make a friend in ALLISON WILLIAMS, who comes armed to the pod with I Don’t Think So Honeys aplenty. She’s here to discuss her *many* contributions to culture! The three chat about embodying Marnie in GIRLS and shooting landmark “bottle” episodes of the show, singing in flight and on television as PETER PAN, and subverting expectations with GET OUT. Also, the importance of projects like FELLOW TRAVELERS and being overwhelmed by gorgeous gay men on that set, teaming up with the one and only Megan for MEGAN 2.0, navigating a relationship with ChatGPT as a mom, and Allison’s upcoming podcast with her best friends. All this, being equally star struck by Meredith Marks and Julie Andrews, Shelley Duvall fully committing to the bit in Faerie Tale Theatre, Joan Rivers on Sesame Street, the power of Harrison Ford as Han Solo, and just not being a Burning Man type, which is okay!

Matt + Bowen are so back with a culture catchup! The girls physically and virtually re-orient themselves in order to give you thoughts on the grand opening of Epic Unmiverse, what happens when your new neighbors are vibey, and what it means to have a "Meatloaf Summer". Also, adjusting to an End of Days mentality, Toronto as "safe haven", a full character analysis of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, and the concept of "not liking condiments". All this, Simon Cowell's Musical Scrooge narrative, the Cowboy Carter World Tour, anticipation of Lorde's VIRGIN era and "azure" as a word in culture. Now rest, readers, knowing that you have triumphed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi, Las Culturistas Fans! We want to share a new show, Outlaws with TS Madison. About the show: "Outlaws" is a daring new podcast hosted by the incomparable TS Madison—a cultural icon, LGBTQ+ activist, and entertainer who has broken barriers across media. Best known for her role as a judge on the Emmy-winning show "RuPaul’s Drag Race," Madison is a writer, voice, and creative contributor on Beyoncé’s "Renaissance" album, a scene-stealing actress in films like A24’s "Zola," and the philanthropist behind the TS Madison Starter House, a transitional housing program for Black trans sex workers in Atlanta, Georgia. Her inspiring journey serves as a beacon of hope and transformation for those living on the margins. Each episode features unfiltered conversations with trailblazers who have shattered norms and flipped the script in a world that has historically sought to ostracize them. From celebrity guests to revolutionary activists, "Outlaws" delves deep into stories of resilience, ambition, and the courage to live life on one’s own terms. With Madison’s sharp wit and empowering presence, listeners are invited to tune in weekly to conversations that celebrate defiance, embrace individuality, and inspire a new generation to wake up and realize they are more than what they've been told. Tune in for laughter, revelations, and powerful insights that challenge the status quo and ignite the rebel heart within. Listen here and subscribe to Outlaws with TS Madison on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt & Bow are thrilled to welcome artist and author Tourmaline to the podcast to discuss her latest work, a stunning autobiography on Marsha P Johnson called Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson that is also a gorgeous queer history of New York. The three discuss Marsha’s originality and iconography, the history of Christopher St and the west village and how to maintain hope and joy in increasingly dark times for the queer community. Also, seeing Eddie Murphy films with dad as a kid, how jealousy can often be a great indicator, and immersion and world-building in art. Get Bowen to the Met Gala! Make Times Square horny again!

You know what they say: never waste ANY day on a bad podcast. And RPKFK's? You will not have that problem today because CHAPPELL ROAN is finally on Las Cultch! The pop superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss performing ballads vs. big synth pop songs, how it feels to cover a huge song like Bad Romance, and the difficulty of singing her huge hit "Good Luck, Babe!" live. Also, "Demo-itis" amongst stans, learning to give yourself grace both artistically and personally, and the literally unwinnable war against fame and the comment section. All this, a talkback on Bowen's Chappell-inspired "Moo Deng" character from Weekend Update, "service topping", "stone topping" and "sensory bottoming", the degree of difficulty when it comes to raising guinea pigs, Chappell's journey from uncomfortable drag show attendee to drag queen in her own right, cruising and pickup culture in the queer community, getting over "performative sex", and fairies as real muses. Have you ever had your phone stolen in West Hollywood? Does your coffee give you coffee breath? Are YOUR teeth fucked (laudatory)? Think on these questions and stream "The Giver" now, wherever you personally do that! And, as always, keeeeep onnnnn daaaaaancccciiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!
