Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

If you haven't heard, there's a Glamazonian Express headed directly into a massive Stormaganza. For more information, you must see Stop! That! Train! in theaters June 12th! That film's director, the incredible Adam Shankman, joins Matt + Bowen today to discuss the new movie, and his indelible contributions to cinema: movies like Hairspray, A Walk To Remember, The Wedding Planner and so much more. Also, Adam discusses The Sound of Music as his formative culture, and explains (for the very first time) its link to a traumatic time in his young life when he was put into conversion therapy. All this, Bowen's parasocial attachment to Adam going way back to the A Walk To Remember DVD commentary, comedy's very necessary cinematic resurgence, the blossoming of Jon M. Chu, the reckoning facing Steve Spielberg on STD Day, and finally an answer to the question, "can you talk to someone with wet hair?" Stop! That! Train! and Listen! To! Las Cultch! Adam is the greatest <3See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The woman who Charli XCX once proclaimed on Las Culturistas was the "sexiest woman alive" is here! Dr. Orna Guralnik, the iconic star of Couples Therapy on Paramount + with Showtime, makes her Las Cultch debut alongside her stunning Alaskan Klee Kai, Nico! The reigning winner of the Style Icon Award at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards joins Matt + Bow to discuss how every couple is like a miniature political system, navigating putting therapy on TV and avoiding the "narcissistic therapist" trope we often see on television. Also, David Lynch's Twin Peaks, the emotional work of Pina Bausch, and what Dr. Orna has seen change in same sex relationships over time. All this, insight into conversion therapy, open relationships, passive aggression and all kinds of noise (white, brown, pink, electronic ambient, etc.) Iv you're not streaming Couples Therapy, you're missing some of the most captivating and fascinating television available.

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. See one of Laura's thousands of current projects (Is This Thing On?, Jay Kelly, Palm Royale on Apple TV+), as well as her millions of indelible ones you probably already love.
