    Ivy Insights

    The Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang is an absolute gem of a podcast that will leave you laughing, thinking, and feeling seen. From the moment I listened to Keke Palmer's episode, I knew I was an instant fan for life. This podcast truly transcends the typical comedy podcast and offers a unique blend of humor, cultural commentary, and heartfelt discussions. Matt and Bowen's chemistry is infectious, and their witty banter keeps you engaged from start to finish.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the diverse range of guests that Matt and Bowen bring on. While many guests are incredible in their own right, there are select few who completely dominate the conversation and provide a captivating experience. The episodes where it's just Matt and Bowen discussing various topics are my personal favorites because they have such a deep understanding of pop culture and offer incisive insights that leave you wanting more. The cultural catch-up segments are always a treat, as they keep you up-to-date on what's happening in the world while injecting their own hilarious commentary.

    However, like any podcast, there are some aspects that may not appeal to everyone. Occasionally, some guests may lack the sharp wit that Matt and Bowen possess, which can be a bit disappointing. However, these moments are few and far between and do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the show.

    In conclusion, The Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang is an absolute delight to listen to. Their intelligent humor combined with their genuine love for pop culture creates a podcast that stands out from the rest. Whether you're looking for a laugh or some thought-provoking discussions about important topics like race and sexuality, this podcast delivers it all. I cannot recommend it enough - give it a listen and join me in becoming a lifelong fan!

    If you're looking for BMD (Britney Memoir Discourse), baby, we got you over here at Las Cultch. Matt & Bowen discuss The Woman In Me, Britney's revelations and ruminations within the book, Michelle Williams's performance, and the backlash currently being faced by Justin Timberlake. Also, the hosts get into at Bethenny's big swing at Bravo and Andy Cohen in Vanity Fair, review Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version), and send out the white light for the late Matthew Perry. All this, punctuation vulnerability, "chicanery", living in invisible squalor, gerunds, all these closeted gay guys in Hollywood playing in our face, the ubiquity and lessening effectiveness of "The Takedown Piece" in our culture, Wicked 20, the RHOBH premiere, the RHOP taglines, the wrestling singlet as gay Halloween costume canon, prosthetics on Halloween and when they've gone too far, and alcohol being absolutely everywhere.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Bowen is a little sickstress this week, so he's invited Matt to his new home to record an episode of Las Cultch and contract whatever he has. Stanley cups in hand, the two discuss, well, pop cultural topics! "Such as?" you ask? Well, Chappell Roan and Troye Sivan's latest albums, RHONY, the "sweeps" TV culture of yesteryear, and an oversaturation of the espresso martini. Also, Bowen MET LADY GAGA, Matt has a haunted weekend in Long Island at the Chambers of Hell, and BOWEN MET LADY GAGA. All this, handwriting vs. typing, earnestness vs. earnesty, a live pop songwriting session, and the naming of the Actress of the Millenium.

    If you thought Summer of KUNT was dead, well… maybe you would be right actually. Or MAYBE you would see it as an opportunity to herald the arrival of the first ever KUNTUMN, during which returning legend Sudi Green inspires us all to get in our full woman-in-her-30s bag. Join the boys as they record from a Las Cultch Cultural Heritage Site (Matt's LA apartment) and talk the first episodes of “The Morning Show” season three. What follows is a spirited discussion on Lauren Boebert's perfectly moving hair during her game of Find the Sausage at “Beetlejuice,” what Matt and Bowen would order at any given restaurant, affirmation water bottle culture, and if comedy is “hee HEE ha-ho, ha HA hee HAY” or “ho HA HA hey-hey HEE ha hoi.” All that plus a debut of Matt's latest song “When Two Men Kiss (It Is Amazing)” and a test to see if “Reba has no top lip” is a good conversation starter. As Sudi Green may have once said to a little girl, “Diva, welcome to America, baby.” It's more of THIS every KUNTUMN. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Matt & Bowen may be back in little boxes on a computer, but that doesn't mean they're not injecting you right in the little veins with a culture catch up for the ages. After Matt's two-Eras-Tour weekend and Bowen's one-canceled-Carly Rae-concert-Monday, there is much to discuss, such as Alex Newell in Shucked, Patti LuPone's upcoming shows at Cherry Grove, being in indictment watch for the third time (got him! btw), the Lizzo of it all, psychics, and getting fingered. All this, how GHB is kinda taking over the gay community and TBH it's a little weird, pros and cons of the new RHONY, mass uncoupling and how dating can feel like doom, establishing routines, adjusting to new medication and Grindr sucking in more ways than one.
