"Media Is Having a Moment" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

On fair Las Cultch, where we set our scene: It's Matt's birthday, Bowen is straight and there is culture to be caught up on. Traitors is recapped, Kristen Johnston is praised, and what truly makes a great sequel is debated. All this, Beyoncé's acting era, recent Bravo legal drama, and Drag Race thoughts. Also, is "insecurity" being overused as an excuse? Is Boba Fett just a big bitch? Did YOU vote? Much to discuss this week on LAS CULTURISTAS... the PODCAST! It's about to be a-- what?!-- gayFIGHT!

This installment of Las Cultch delivers on the promise of the premise. Yeah, we saw the Super Bowl. Usher? We've heard of him. Taylor and Travis? Honey, we're well aware. And hey, how about this for one word: Beyoncé. All of this and more (such as The Traitors, Lady Gaga as a sports fan, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, and the place of horses in culture) is discussed by Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. The latter of those two even starred in a Super Bowl commercial, in a world where movie trailers count as commercials. That movie trailer? Wicked! In the words of The Wicked Witch of the West, what a world! Who do you think is next to slay a Super Bowl halftime show? Do you think T Swift's fame has become too much for one human being? Are you a tortured poet and do you have a department? Many questions to ponder and topics to discuss on this ep! Solargenic. Photogenic. Shoot.

Do us and the world a favor. Go to your window and shout out "TINA FEY is on Las Culturistas!" Because it's true and everyone should know! Wish fulfillment is defined this week as Matt and Bowen welcome Great American Tina Fey to discuss Countess Luann fandom, Molly Ringwald's career as a transcriber of French novels, starting out at SNL in the tough-as-hell 90's, watching Benny Hill as a family, the beginning of MTV, Blockbuster culture, and the era of soda, hoagies and no fitness. All this, Disney v. Universal, SJP's 90's film work, Rachel McAdams's impact as Regina George, how Mean Girls was written on Fire Island, what makes the best SNL hosts and the joys and dangers of hosting the Golden Globes. Also, discovering the Tina and Amy magic and bringing that to the road on their Restless Leg Tour (go see it!!!), Reneé Rapp and how the Jimmy Awards are the future, deodorant culture, and a very prescient IDTSH from Tina that ranks as an all-timer. How many mozzarella sticks is enough for you? Something to think about. TINA!
