Sitting in an apartment. What could be better? In the culture lab, (Matt’s apartment in Queens) our Las Cultch hosts catch up with culture. Topics include: RIP Jimmy Buffett, if Lady Gaga ever came on the podcast, remembering high school math, Charli and Rina, whether anyone actually saw Camp Rock, and all the SILVER at renaissance world tour. All this, a live listen if Nicki’s “Last Time I Saw You”, rocket fuels, Busted Queen, problem of sand, the issue of glitter, and conundrum of tape. Take all this (the podcast) with a rock of salt.

She’s back and she’s cute as a pumpkin, it’s Sarah Squirm! Bowen’s flying solo this week but is joined but his OTHER Long Island track star Piscean legend, and she’s currently “of touring experience” in a city near you. Bowen and Sarah discuss what grade they would teach, what the Eras Tour even is, and how incredible it was that Michael Jackson was the biggest freak who was also the most famous person in the world. Fascinating treatises on “relatability” in culture get their overdue space on the pod, and you MUST wait for the story about the titular Russian Tsarina.

RPKFs, Las Cultch favorite Greta Titelman returns to the pod and joins us from Scotland with Matt, who has gone through one of the most harrowing travel experiences in recent personal memory. All this as Bowen has a terrible fever? It’s giving I DON’T Think So, Honey. Find out what on earth the Witches Well is and whether or not Edinburgh has amazing food options (it doesn’t). Noomi Rapace, early memories of curse words and the plausibility of “And Just Like That” pave the way for emphatic discussions on Vitamin Water stepping onto the world stage, the glory of multicam, and bands you would have wanted to “be” in the aughts. It’s JUST close, proud Americans this week, and you can check out Greta’s critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe Festival show “Exquisite Lies,” playing until August 27. @gertiebird @Gertie_Bird

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.

HAUS! Readers, it is time for you to meet a sister. Dear friend of Matt and Bowen, Patrick Rogers, joins our hosts to tackle culture and be their astral guide. Nicole Kidman's AMC ad: how much longer are we doing this? Should we ever stop? Should it reboot? It's discussed. Matt and Bowen reveal something huge about when they went to see Oppenheimer. The girls discuss Iceland's pleasures, Björk's genius, Taylor's Eras... and next era, what they want to see from Lorde, and Tina Knowles Lawson's Instagram. Also, the Renaissance World Tour was attended for the second time, and Matt, Bowen and Patrick guess what Act II of Renaissance will hold for Beyhive members. All this, attending a Spice Girls concert in the midwest dressed as Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham at large, what happens when someone Leaves The Band, RHOBH, RHONY new and old, a preview of Ubah Hassan's hot sauce taste test, Bethenny's whole deal recently, summer, "global boiling", the expensive art world and restaurant group sizes.

The dolls are in back the room, and by dolls we mean pills, of course. Bowen runs into Matt’s loving embrace and the two marvel at the beautiful fan-bound Rules of Culture book. They r-e-m-i-n-i-s-c-e on all the culture of the last few weeks, starting with the single biggest monocultural release of the year (“Barbie”) and promptly discuss the meaning of the double strike era we are officially in. Opinions on the new RHONY women finally take shape which officially means this reboot is in full swing, and isn’t that a beautiful thing? Further discussion covers “And Just Like That” and the latest addition to Troye Sivan’s anal oeuvre before they boys launch into their IDTSHs, and that’s what we call a forever-coded friendship.

Piccolo-voiced culturista Matt Rogers is joined by his close friend, bassoon-throated actor Zane Phillips, on this episode of Las Culturistas to discuss being a lil academic smart girl, science fairs, hot coffee-and-crossword culture, and serving STEM at a young age. Also, coming up in the queer "scat pack" (lol noooo), playing against type when you are A Type, and why superhero movies are so washed out as of late. All this, America's Next Top Model and the act of transformation, Television Without Pity and recap culture, how Survivor has changed, how The Traitors should change, a rundown of playable Super Smash Bros. characters, a searing takedown of Mario Kart's Rainbow Road, and an honest discourse on the state of soup. Readers? We want to be culminated in you. And you will want to be culminated in THIS... episode! Of Las Cultch!
