  • "Four Seasons Ambassador" (w/ Natasha Rothwell)
    Mar 26 2025

    It's an episode years in the making as The White Lotus's Natasha Rothwell joins Matt & Bowen on Las Culturistas! These three have so much to talk about, as they all have history grinding it out in New York comedy back at UCB, The PIT and as members of Story Pirates! It's giving long shared history! Bowen and Natasha connect on experiences as SNL writers turned successful performers, and Natasha talks about playing in one successful ensemble after another and tending to play characters who "carry the torch of empathy". Also, Grease as an Austenian text, playing Mama Rose in high school opposite a very gay Herbie, the challenges that come with developing social boundaries and "the guilt tax" you pay when you choose yourself, meeting and thanking John Waters at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and accepting awards for the great show How To Die Alone after it was cancelled. There's also obviously a ton of White Lotus talk, including the differences between Belinda in seasons 1 and 3, this season's exploration of adult female friendship, and Lalisa's great performance and overall superstardom. You don't like gay incest? Grow up! And no, stranger in Target, Natasha is not going to tell YOU any spoilers! You just gotta watch, and you should! The White Lotus airs Sunday nights on HBO, but you already knew that shit! We love Natasha, who is one of the all time greats. And this episode? You know what that is? GROWTH.

  • "Huge Fornicators" (w/ Cate Blanchett)
    Mar 19 2025

    Turns out that we, too, can command the winds, sir! Because CATE BLANCHETT, star of the new film Black Bag and (duh) countless other incredible films is here on Las Cultch for a very fun conversation! But first, a culture catch-up! Matt and Bowen run through their experiences at the Oscars, its after parties, and Gaga's episodes of SNL and LAS CULTURISTAS (which we still cannot believe). Then, the true GOAT of acting sits with our hosts to talk about what wearing white sneakers may mean for your sex life, Barbie and doll culture, Sydney's embrace of gay culture, and experiences at Berghain. Also, Cate weighs in on whether there are too many televised award shows, discusses her fascination with ribbon dancing and rhythmic gymnastics, and unpacks her lack of an acting process. And you KNOW that Tár is thoroughly discussed! All this, the word "buddy", the phrase "hakuna matata" and the nightmare of a toilet seat left up. You wanna fuck me, Barbara?!?! If not, it's fine! We hope you enjoy this episode anyway :) Black Bag is in theaters now!

  • "We're Gonna Dance" (w/ Lady Gaga)
    Mar 12 2025

    So... LADY GAGA is on Las Culturistas. Somehow, we've reached the moment where the timeless artist herself sits down with Matt and Bowen to sort through the MAYHEM. The three chat about Gaga's incredible seventh album, rain as production value, choosing "Shallow" to perform at SNL50 and just how important SNL is to Lady Gaga and all the musical artists who get the opportunity to guest on the show. All this, dark arts and the poetry of pop music, transitioning from being a student of fame to being a student of entertainment, the role of humor in Gaga's creativity, the importance of the Chromatica Ball, how it really feels to be called "chaotic", and the choice to end her album with "Die With A Smile". Also, speaking up on trans rights at the Grammys, a tiny little preview of Coachella (but not really), Broadway hopes and dreams, whether or not a lighthearted film is in Gaga's future and how community is truly everything. What a perfect day! What a perfect pop icon for us all! And what perfect MAYHEM! Check out the album if you... haven't? But also... who are you? You should be OFF BOOK by now. Xo Killahs

    Happy birthday to Matt and happy DAY to all of us because Liz Feldman, creator of Netflix's No Good Deed and Dead To Me, is here on Las Cultch!

Also, casting No Good Deed, still getting starstruck after years in the biz, and creating what you want to watch. All this, the fascinating story of how Liz came out to her parents, how getting a Cameo is stressful, season 3 of The White Lotus and its new theme song, and the fact that there are too many goddamn coffee places within a specific vicinity in Los Angeles. Liz's new Headgum podcast with friend of the show Jessi Klein is called Here To Make Friends and it launches on March 14th! Check it out, as well as everything Liz has done and will do! Waka waka waka!

  • "Locked In" (w/ Tate McRae)
    Feb 26 2025

    It's OK, we are all VERY OK this week as Tate McRae guests on Las Culturistas! The superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss her thoughts on the Britney comparisons, underrated Ariana bops, little slutty glasses as top fashion accessory of 2025, training in Berlin as a ballerina and competing in So You Think You Can Dance at just thirteen years old. Also, being an "asthma legend", staging a tits-out arrest in broad daylight for a music video, songwriting with Amy Allen, Ryan Tedder and Julia Michaels, and daunting expectations when it comes to choosing THE SINGLE. All this, the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana as formative pop culture, becoming ~Tatiana~ on stage, playing with pigs in Tokyo, man bun culture, hip culture, and how Carplay often leads to conflict. You have to stream the new album So Close To What" now, it's fantastic! And see Tate on tour! We just want her TWO HANDS on us! Tate!
