To celebrate the fact that Las Culturistas is now being cited in academic work, the owner of popular culture Louis Virtel (Keep It! podcast, Jimmy Kimmel Live) finally joins our women to rant at the table. Readers! This is the one you've been waiting for. A full-on Oscars download as the nominations are reviewed... dissected, even! Gaga's snub?! Did we cause it? Something to think about. Also, Wheel of Fortune and game show culture, the experience of actually competing on televised game shows, an analysis of the stigma around Laura Dern stanhood, Kirsten's Oscar moment at long last and a long overdue discussion of the legendary Gilda Radner. Warning! This episode may contain some spoilers for the Oscar movies we discuss. Keep your ears open for spoiler warnings. Louis is truly a MIND and Las Cultch was lucky to have the bitch.

Also, the Teresa Giudice x Tayla Coachella pic and general Taylor vibes pre-Tortured Poets, Judy at Carnegie Hall, and some love for the new Maggie Rogers. All this, OJ Simpson being dead, the cast of MAD TV, the power of T-Pain, and the news of Dr. Dillamond's casting. Drop those shoulders <3 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
