"REMEMBER MY SOUND" (w/ Matt + Bowen)

Matt + Bowen are so back with a culture catchup! The girls physically and virtually re-orient themselves in order to give you thoughts on the grand opening of Epic Unmiverse, what happens when your new neighbors are vibey, and what it means to have a "Meatloaf Summer". Also, adjusting to an End of Days mentality, Toronto as "safe haven", a full character analysis of Dr. Victoria Frankenstein, and the concept of "not liking condiments". All this, Simon Cowell's Musical Scrooge narrative, the Cowboy Carter World Tour, anticipation of Lorde's VIRGIN era and "azure" as a word in culture. Now rest, readers, knowing that you have triumphed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Turn Up The Volume” (w/ Tourmaline)

When there’s a water trine on Las Cultch?! You know you gotta get into it! Matt & Bow are thrilled to welcome artist and author Tourmaline to the podcast to discuss her latest work, a stunning autobiography on Marsha P Johnson called Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson that is also a gorgeous queer history of New York. The three discuss Marsha’s originality and iconography, the history of Christopher St and the west village and how to maintain hope and joy in increasingly dark times for the queer community. Also, seeing Eddie Murphy films with dad as a kid, how jealousy can often be a great indicator, and immersion and world-building in art. Get Bowen to the Met Gala! Make Times Square horny again! Turn up the volume on your life! Shout it through the grapevine: Tourmaline’s incredible book is out May 20th, and Las Cultch is so lucky to have her this week!

“I’m The Party” (w/ Amy Poehler)

Matt + Bowen welcome one of their comedy heroes and the host of the excellent new Good Hang podcast AMY POEHLER to Las Culturistas! The boys are beyond excited to chat with this genuine JOY (IYKYK) of a person about the impact of Miss Piggy on popular culture and humanity at large, how life gets better in your fifties, and how important it is to date someone who knows when to leave the party. Also, being a mom to teen boys and loving it, Amy’s comedic impact on the queers, how everyone has the equivalent of a plastic spoon in their heads, and getting to the age where you no longer want to be “shook” (physically). All this, The Pitt, the good old days smoking from a bong, the bad old days jumping on a trampoline, drinking milk, drinking water and the fact that horror movies… are scary and sad!!! Stream Good Hang! And bow down to Amy P, who is absolutely one of the best to ever do it. What an honor to have her on Las Cultch. Two words: YES, PLEASE!

"Fairy Drag Queen Guinea Pig" (w/ Chappell Roan)

You know what they say: never waste ANY day on a bad podcast. And RPKFK's? You will not have that problem today because CHAPPELL ROAN is finally on Las Cultch! The pop superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss performing ballads vs. big synth pop songs, how it feels to cover a huge song like Bad Romance, and the difficulty of singing her huge hit "Good Luck, Babe!" live. Also, "Demo-itis" amongst stans, learning to give yourself grace both artistically and personally, and the literally unwinnable war against fame and the comment section. All this, a talkback on Bowen's Chappell-inspired "Moo Deng" character from Weekend Update, "service topping", "stone topping" and "sensory bottoming", the degree of difficulty when it comes to raising guinea pigs, Chappell's journey from uncomfortable drag show attendee to drag queen in her own right, cruising and pickup culture in the queer community, getting over "performative sex", and fairies as real muses. Have you ever had your phone stolen in West Hollywood? Does your coffee give you coffee breath? Are YOUR teeth fucked (laudatory)? Think on these questions and stream "The Giver" now, wherever you personally do that! And, as always, keeeeep onnnnn daaaaaancccciiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!

FRANKENSTEIN

Love Love Love the Pod! I’m writing this as I have the podcast on with a sleep timer. I am currently listening to Frankenstein on Audible and i have a point you may be prickled to hear regarding the Frankenstein moniker. First, Mary Shelly is killing it! Actually, true Evanescence, she’s bringing it TO life!! to think she wrote it at 18 and invented the science fiction genre! Fierce i digress. I am 3/8.5 hours in to the book, and Dr. Victor Frankenstein refers to his reanimated corpse as “My Creature” not “Monster” so i guess the bolt-neck flattop guy should be referred to as “Frankenstein’s Creature ” not Frankenstein’s Monster” by the general public. However. Where it got interesting for me Is,,, With the creature being created in the Haus of Frankenstein, he could thus be referred to as “a Frankenstein” the same way someone would be referred to as “a Colby “ “a Dupree”. or a dress “ a Halston” “a Mackie” ? Bowen “a Yang”, and Matt “a Rogers” If the same use of language, lineage, and creation is applied to The Creature, are people not accidentally correct when referring to him as “a Frankenstein” ???! Now i KNOW most people are not using the Frankenstein moniker this way, and they are bastardizing the name by their ignorance, but I’m saying they may be accidentally correct! ha! any thoughts? love love love the pod! Disclaimer “look there’s Frankenstein” - not correct. “look there’s a Frankenstein” - correct.
I would die for them

Matt and Bowen's hot takes validate my existence and that's about the best one could hope for. Thanks for all the laughs. I really appreciate your continued honesty and authenticity even with your rising profile. The episodes with just the two of you are my personal favorites and I enviably cherish the friendship you two have. How special to have to have a sister like that. This is the culture that makes me say culture is for me🥳🥳🥳
