Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

In a world of Apple conferences, HBO gems, and insightful memoirs around career building experiences, we would be remiss to not remind ourselves that life is just so... so much so that the sisters are joined by Lena Dunham to talk, and mostly quote, one of our great post-feminist works: Girls. And of course Lena's new memoir: Famesick. Which is out now, honey! So get to listening and reading and reading and listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sisters must rejoice as we have been joined by none other than Caleb Hearon. And he has somethings to say to us! It's been a long time coming so strap in - the devil does in fact wear Prada and she's come back around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're in luck... or something today because Hilary Duff is making her Las Cultch debut! In addition to going back, back to the beginning, HIlary chats with Matt + Bowen all about her new album, the Lucky Me tour, listening to your children sing adult lyrics (its art, relax!), sampling Blink 182, the Spice Girls as examples of "women in all their different vibes", "So Yesterday" as unbothered anthem and when Hilary told homophobes to knock it off and it worked! Also, Grease, Pretty Woman, TGIF culture and connecting with a certain childhood ex-boyfriend through a psychic. All this, growing up alongside an audience, muggy New York City apologism *and* criticism, "dying on that hill" and the boom of the robots that we are all currently experiencing. London! Paris! Maybe Tokyo! But DEFINITELY Las Culturistas! WAKE UP and stream the album and see the tour! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amazing things can happen through the power of womanifestation (and gayguyifestation). Fresh off her incredible turn on “The Traitors” and new single “If Only...” is the Wordsmith herself, CANDIACE. Go ahead and make some Deep Space (stream now) for a conversation about taking shots of progesterone on a plane during turbulence, music video budgets, musical influences and the legends in the 6-CD home stereo. I was told somebody was told this is a perfect episode… minus a few corrections Bowen had to make mid-episode via post-recording. Be on the lookout for the IMPENDING classic from the one and only C.D.B!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four gay guys, having finally had it, go dark woke and throw neck in this episode of Las Culturistas, the sister podcast of the iconic StraightioLab. Its hosts, George Civeris and Sam Taggart, join Matt + Bowen to form a cornucopia of homosexual men who throw prayers up for Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Linkin Park era in a very “they would all be doing Best Week Ever back in the day” way. They clock each other on their social media, the times they’ve publicly cried at events, and original radical optimism opinions. How much do they love Audrey Hobert? It’s in here. Lady Gaga’s potential next film? Well-researched theories are explored. And there are games! Play Haim Lick and consider Lizzo’s Pass along with the crew at home, or wherever you listen to podcasts!  Watch George’s special A Sense of Urgency on Apple and Amazon, see Sam’s upcoming shows in LA on March 24th and April 1st, and stream Haim!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Live, laugh and love along with Matt, Bowen + their guest, comedian and Chi-con (Chicago icon) Maggie Winters! She's in the studio to say, "hey! watch my solo show MARGUERITE on YouTube on March 17th!" And with THAT said, the girls get into it all: the bean soup theory, spices, spice racks, Padma Lakshmi, being Irish, drinking young, and what it means to be Chicago Fried. Also, HBO's Industry, TGIF pizza night and the theme songs of Nickelodeon. All this, having Paris Hilton feet (laudatory), Ghostfaces' various reasonings, and the question, 'are substacks blogs?'

Um, is this thing on? Because a pink corduroy-clad Laura Dern bursts like the sun into the Las Cultch studio to speak with Matt & Bowen at length and... that's OUR world! That's the world that WE're livin' in. Dern whips out a Reese impression, discusses channeling anger better than anyone in the biz, talks creating Amy Jellicoe alongside Mike White in Enlightened, and gets into both the comedic and dramatic brutality of Big Little Lies. Also, defining wonder whilst looking up at CGI Brachiosaurii, starring as Ellen's gay love interest in The Puppy Episode of her sitcom, and even more on Jeff Goldblum's chest, if you can believe it. All this, growing up in Hollywood in a different era, reflections on the current status of the entertainment industry, going punk rock at 12 years old, David Lynch as niche yet mainstream culture, and Laura's real life interaction with a Real Housewife.

In the words of one of the greatest pop stars of all time, “Fuck a app!” (except whichever one you use for podcasts). Robyn joins us to talk her upcoming, stellar album “Sexistential.” Topics range from the tantric kookiness of the writing process, covering your own songs, and the age-old question: Would you eat your baby? Lived-in experiences with Max “Just a Guy” Martin and the idea of nostalgia being lethal. And of COURSE Robyn gives a cool answer to The Question in the form of a Neneh Cherry song. So come take a warm auditory bath like the song “Honey” IDTSH’s on Close Friends etiquette. Well-lit intercourse. Being early to hating Elon and all the men and boys who are withOUT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
