It's time to catch up with the culture, the drama, the too-online mess we have all been watching happen before our internet eyes!

Plus the Lea Michele illiteracy rumors (who believes what?!), the Leo DiCaprio break up rumors, Maren Morris' fuck you to the transphobic trolls, beautiful Icelandic horses with perfect gait, Florence Pugh's film festival fits, the heatest of waves, and of course, much more! Get into IT!

Matt & Bowen guest on the latest episode of StraightioLab, the latest podcast to join the Big Money Players Network. In the first official episode of season three, George and Sam gab wistfully about missing each other’s company, Munchausen as an artistic practice, and The Chromatica Ball. Then, they are joined by network sisters Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang to address the two pillars of straight comedy: awkwardness and randomness. Is being awkward and random a response to fearing the unknown? Can you be one without the other? Was the movie Juno a slay? Plus: Everyone gets in touch with their feelings — for the last time EVER. Welcome back to the lab!

With Summer slipping away, Matt & Bowen get tactile to embrace and discuss culture. The girls make some much needed apologies (and accusations) before swearing to never apologize again, clarify their love of Beyoncé's Renaissance for all you Kayteighs out there with doubts, and get into it about therapy. Also, Matt & Bowen reveal some of their Emmy votes, stan Brandy, discuss RHOBH and the recent weaponization of Lisa Rinna's grief, and examine Kathy Hilton's recent and (rumored) upcoming transgressions. All that, the recent Hollywood Reporter cover story on Wendy Williams, a strong case against homeopathy, how Fantine was actually Homeless AND Toothless, what happens when gorgeous nieces emerge from their terrible twos, and an absolute Stephen Sondheim lovefest as our hosts gush over Broadway's Into The Woods and examine what happens when Sondheim's work is adapted to film. Where do you stand in the war of bidets vs. flushable wipes? What would you order between the sizzling chicken shrimp and the watermelon feta salad? Are *you* Sorry? Check this episode out, Kayteighs! Or, readers! Or, publicists! We'll figure it out...

This u-NIQUE (!) episode of Las Cultch sees Matt, Bow & Cody take the readers, nay, the KATIES (you all have a new name) on quite a journey through culture. In fact, it's basically a culture catch-up!

Also, Cody's controversial and dangerous thoughts on Tayla Swiff, what it's like to be THEE Peloton instructor, Imogen Heap's influence on both "the girls" and Myspace culture, and the following questions: is it more "Disney Gay" to have a Mickey tattoo on your bicep or go to the parks once a month?

This episode is the Olympics of drag. You're gonna love it so much, you're gonna have three. Putcha Hearts Up, because the fifth annual Summer of Kunt with Sudi Green (the third member of The Three) is finally here. Matt, Bow and Sudi discuss Bowen and Sudi's recent Eurotrip, and the episode largely examines vacation culture as a whole. Also, observations about British people when under heat, what happens when Wicked is British, and parents vacationing with young children come hell or high water. All this, Disney World getting dark, how anal sex can do a real number on your butthole, how Titanique is the best current theatrical experience in New York City, bad behavior as children, Drag Race All Stars and its upcoming grand finale, and how American McDonald's need to take more god damn risks. Publicists? Start your enginees. And may the best readers... listen!

Heralded as "a moment for queer people everywhere", this is... the MUNA episode of Las Cultch! It's here! The best band in the world joins Matt & Bowen to talk about their latest and greatest album, knowing each other inside and out, being theater kids, "vibe checks", burned CD's, the Muppets and the celebrity cameos that they would pull, the Chromatica Ball setlist, MUNA's cover of "Sometimes" in the film Fire Island, telling Ramona Singer you're "a fan", hotels that lie, birds singing at night (?!) and the question "should a child have 8 parents?" You HAVE TO stream Muna's new album. They're the best!!!!!
