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 fashioned Nick At Nite classics like I Love Lucy and Bewitched, and learning to be okay with being misunderstood by the public. All this, and the emotional lore that connects Matt + Bowen, the set of Wicked, Ariana Madix and Chappell Roan.

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.

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.

- "The Show Must Go OFF" (w/ Laura Benanti)Sep 16, 2026 · 1 hr 28 minThe 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<3

- "Yumming My Yuck" (w/ Carly Rae Jepsen)Sep 9, 2026 · 1 hr 20 minI'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.

- "Class FTM License" (w/ Spike Einbinder + Honey Pluton)Sep 2, 2026 · 1 hr 30 minSpike 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 the impact of the Instagram presence of Vin Diesel, cultural excavation of Jackass as many things, including an enduring and beautiful display of the masculine fascination with the butthole and what it can handle, Spongebob Squarepants as a queer Simpsons, the repression of Squidward and how every frame of the series is a meme, and the equal talent and desperation of Kathy Griffin and seeking validation from the institutions you wish to destroy.
IDTSH's on: pizza places that don't deliver slices, coffee shops don't have seats anymore, not believing in God, and pitying Spike's blind dog named Spider-man
See these two on tour! And remember: Dolly would want us to pray!

The figure of great and unknown LC lore is here to discuss “the perfect crime” aka faking an orgasm as a top, the origins of “Troye, baby…”, and the idea of taking fat from your ass to cure volume loss under your eye. Also, where our husbands might live, how everyone’s life is a movie when they’re around Baz Luhrmann, and Disney characters reproducing. All this, the tea on how Troye’s new album She’s The Best is the most potent distillation of all his musical inspirations yet, Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge! as both formative culture and eventual muse, Little Shop of Horrors as a Faustian bargain with fame, and an I Don’t Think So, Honey on singing from one of our most forefront recording artists. The album is out October 9th and you can watch and stream “She’s The Best” now! That Tro, That Tro, wowwww. He’s the best.

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, how Zara Larsson could be Jimmy Buffett if she wants, what it feels like to recover from a panic attack just in time for the Hilary Duff concert, and meeting Rosie O'Donnell in the wild... on Broadway! All this, Abdul El Sayed's "Positions" energy, the regional pronunciation of the word "Michigander", and "face acting" in film. All this, a shout out to Disney Cast Member Angel from the Kilimanjaro Safari in Animal Kingdom (we will literally never forget you), a highly awaited discourse on Peacock's SMASH HIT The Five Star Weekend (!!!), and due respect paid to The QVC Woman aka Toni Brattin, who we will hold on to forever. Real Miami girls get it poppin ❤️

Also, "Espresso" in its terrible twos, how Dr. Love filled the hole in Catherine's heart (literally), and the "euthanasia coaster". All this, an attack on routine, an attack on thumbs, and an attack on British accents (that we are the perpetrators of). Catherine is sweet as honey, delightful as pie, and God's gift.

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 the late 90's, and collecting teeth.

- “Kooky Tantric” (w/ Robyn)Jan 14, 2026 · 1 hr 2 minIn the words of one of the greatest pop stars of all time, “Fuck a app!” (except whichever one you use for podcasts). Robyn joins us to talk her upcoming, stellar album “Sexistential.” Topics range from the tantric kookiness of the writing process, covering your own songs, and the age-old question: Would you eat your baby? Lived-in experiences with Max “Just a Guy” Martin and the idea of nostalgia being lethal. And of COURSE Robyn gives a cool answer to The Question in the form of a Neneh Cherry song. So come take a warm auditory bath like the song “Honey” IDTSH’s on Close Friends etiquette. Well-lit intercourse. Being early to hating Elon and all the men and boys who are withOUT.
