Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Who? Them? With us? Yes! It’s the podcasting event of the century for a very specific type of person as the hosts of the iconic and hilarious Who Weekly? — Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber — finally join Matt + Bowen to talk about their fantastic new book I Want To Be Famous: When Everybody and Nobody is a Celebrity. The group discuss what it feels like to have started their podcasting at the same time ten years ago and arrive wherever we all are now, the concept of “Who-dom” and “Them-dom” and why both are important in a pop culture eco-system, and Rita Ora. Also, VH1, “I Love the 80’s” and its equally formative spinoffs, and Lacey Chabert. All this, Waterworld, the Girls revival, and Bethenny Frankel. You MUST get this book. Reader? We mean it.

Hold Matt + Bowen’s one purse that they share, because it is time for the FINAL WORD on the Kelly Clarkson vs. Art of Play fiasco. Today, an unpacking of October 2026’s unlikeliest celebrity feud, and how Kelly Clarkson somehow had the most controversial autumn of anyone in media. Also, Bowen walks us through why they really say “AI isn’t going anywhere”, rave reviews for Troye Sivan’s incredible new album She’s The Best, and… comparative literature on Las Cultch? Kind of! Matt saw The Social Reckoning and Digger and has thoughts. All this, the shit gay guys say and do on dates, shopping Julia Fox’s closet on accident for a good cause, how Bowen once disappointed Rosalía, and the definitive Top 5 Witches of Pop Culture.  Somewhere, we just know that Molly is singing two words today, “Las Culturistaaaaaas!” *boom*See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Golden Globe-shortlisted podcast Las Culturistas returns for another Culture Catchup. This week, Bowen hits DC (as Gaga once did) to see Lincoln’s house and clock the vibes, and Matt searches for evidence (as Gaga once did) in order to hold rollercoasters accountable. Also, Resident Evil and video game to film adaptations, Michelle Branch and concert etiquette, Gillian Anderson and theater etiquette, scrolling through for Flo Pugh, and the beginning of a blatant and shameless FYC campaign.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Too many hosts on this one! Michelle Collins, Las Cultch legend, joins the boys to spill the sauce and cackle for over an hour. In a sweepstakes event, the comedian and host of The Michelle Collins Show discusses Porky Pig’s beautiful curvaceous body, best memories inside a Duane Reade, and accidentally kicking a child at the outlets in Europe. Also, thoughts on Leah Remini joining RHOBH, Carole Radziwill’s return to RHONY, and how Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump was hot because he was actually played by Gary Sinise. All this, the crazy vibe of the You Can See Everything trailer and the unfortunate American story that is Elizabeth Holmes, Baylen Out Loud, Michelle’s audition for American Idol season 3 at the Javitz Center, and a confrontation of The View. See Michelle’s shows, she is the literal best of the best, no one else is funny. Cut that part out. No, leave it in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The unreal Laura Benanti joins Matt + Bowen for a lil' Las Cultch that is performed in exactly the CORRECT key! That means the first ever Maria Von Trapp is in the studio! As well as the first Gypsy Rose Lee, the first Melania Trump, the first Eliza Doolittle and the SECOND Claudia from Nine! The three all come together, forming a trine, to ask... what is the POINT of vacation? What does it mean to be Italian,  not by blood, but by love? What is the backstage etiquette when your friend is in a show that is awful? When is it just too many mugs in the cupboard? Also, the story of Tita Papa, the Italian Santa Claus who sleeps with your wife, how Laura broke her neck committing onstage, and what it was like to experience Sleep No More alongside a terrified Patti LuPone. All this, the impact of the Into The Woods PBS pro-shot, liking musicals but loving Sondheim, hosting the Jimmy Awards, No Hard Feelings, "comedic embarrassment" and realizing that your vagina may but be The Portal To Greatness. You gotta head over to www.nobodycaresisacomedy.com and get tickets to see NOBODY CARES, Laura's new stand up show. She's brilliant in every way. Just like you<3See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
