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, an...

Popular culture’s Ariana Madix is finally on Las Cultch! She does it all, so she DISCUSSES it all with Matt + Bow this week, including playing Connie Francis in Just In Time on Broadway and puttin’ the nasal twang in her voice to do so, being “friends with” tons of Disney characters (IYKYK) during her storied Orlando tenure, and taking her rightful place as the Rod Serling of our generation as the Emmy-nominated host of the biggest and most viral reality show in the world, Love Island. Also, walking in slo-mo without doing too much, the impact of good old fash...

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...

Nyack legend and Actual legend Edy Modica joins Matt + Bow for her first Las Cultch appearance, and that means? You are about to see her in one of her episodes. The three old pals talk nut video preferences, gross guys with gross stories, and Perez Hilton. Also, the vibes of The Olive Garden, taking AP classes without being an AP student, what it means to be a “cradle robber”, and the pride in being a “Fag Hag”. All this, the big blue vein of the tit, Just Duty, and “hitting” culture. Edy is obsessed with violence, eating ass and finding the...

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.

Also, the realities of phone sex and how airplanes make you horny, winning a huge Swedish talent show at 10 years old, and how it feels to have people only realizing now that Zara is an elite vocalist. All this, the roaring 20's of pop mu...

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 i...

I'll make time for you? How about YOU make time for this hotly anticipated episode of Las Cultch? The former maker of Vancouver's top-rated cheesecake Carly Rae Jepsen joins the boys and winningly plays along with our stupid little games that Bowen can barely commit to. It's a fragrant vortex of a time, with CRJ spilling on "Day and Night" (out September 18th), having her mind blown by the Spice Girls, and the "10 Things I Hate About You" musical. The "suggested donation" is that you listen to this extravaganza/hullabaloo and ENJOY.

Spike Einbinder and Honey Pluton bend the culture medium with their astrological sun, moon, and rising culture breakdown with Matt + Bo on Las Cultch! But first, the episode must mourn, but mourning is celebrating bodymaxxx full body chills for the legendary icon Dolly Parton and the ever important Tim Curry. Spike and Honey shed light on living in NY but BEING an Angeleno, how angel numbers follow you, cheese pulls on Instagram are actually more explicit than nudity on the platform and how watching Dancing with the Stars is like watching Ben-Hur and can be characterized as “tantric Television.” Also...

International pop king, Mickey Mouse of poppers, and eternal Best Gay Guy - Famous Troye “Tro” Sivan joins Matt + Bow on Las Cultch!

All this, the tea on how Troye’s new album She’s The Best is th...

Finally, Las Culturistas has a SET... and it has SET... them free. It's a brand new Las Cultch as Matt + Bowen neurally link and ride to the beach, to the stars and to heaven in this long-awaited culture catchup! Bowen discusses taking on the role of Mary Todd Lincoln (!!!) in OH, MARY (or shall we say BO, MARY!?) on Broadway (9/15 - 12/6!!!) and being ridden like a Banshee by a Navi acting coach. The boys discuss the albums of the moment: Confessions II, petal and, of course, C, XOXO, and confront themselves about why they haven't seen The Odyssey. Also...

Ramy Youssef joins Las Culturistas to try Celsius for the first time, and also re-connect with his old pals Matt + Bowen, the HOSTS of the Las Culturistas podcast. The full-blown vibe discusses inspiring his dad to take an acting class and walks us through his feelings about going to get a coffee with Dianne Weist (which happened right after this episode was recorded). Also, felony torrenting on Napster and the likelihood that Ramy will still be going to prison for illegally downloading Eminem in 1999.

Join Matt, Bowen and self proclaimed "walking psychedelic trip" KESHA on this episode of Las Culturistas, which begs the question: should Kesha open up a supermarket that sells "pop rocks flavored blue Kesha ramen"? The three silly gooses discuss that, as well as hoarding, doing mushrooms in the desert, and building community amongst millions of Animals out there. Also, working with Rick Rubin and Ryan Lewis to discover new depths to Kesha's voice and artistry, how hearing "Drop It Like It's Hot" opened up a world of musical possibility for Kesha, the sexual awakening that was Will Smith in...

All this, Joel's genderqueer bowl cut era...

She's come toting her Transcendence tea, so you know it's really on sight.

Mindy Kaling elevates all our lives and sits down with Matt + Bowen— on Culture Awards release day, no less!— to discuss the place of awards shows in culture as collisions of couture and competition. Also, being that person who knew the writing staffs of your favorite series, “webisodes” culture, and portraying both Kelly Kapoor and Ben Affleck onscreen.
