Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

Matt + Bowen are thrilled to welcome a certified Reader/Kayteigh to Las Cultch: Jennifer Lawrence!!! The star of the new film Die, My Love has many pressing matters to address with Matt + Bow, including The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the horniest part of a pregnancy, what actor might bang Tilly Norwood on screen first, docking and soaking in Mormon culture, and which celebrities are dead and alive. Also, Jennifer remembers the time she got double engine failure on a plane, recalls when she was visited by a NOLA ghost, and explores how the Boleyn sister dynamic speaks to the Simpson sister dynamic. All this, Kylie Kelce, Robert Pattinson, Sissy Spacek, Mark Ronson, Emma Stone, Cole Escola, and Miss Piggy. And what's more: thoughts on a "shabby chic" aesthetic, an exploration on why a group chat dies, seeing your own melasma, and Robert Pattinson. Go see Matt + Bowen's "Don't Wake Daddy" movie when Jen gets around to producing it, and DEFINITELY go see Die, My Love if you want to see a true movie star give one of her best performances ever. We love you, Jen!

Matt + Bowen can barely believe that J. Lo is on Las Cultch! The star of Kiss of the Spider Woman discusses her track star past, filming Selena and performing in the Houston Astrodome for the film, and tabloid noise vs. social media noise. Also, Jennifer’s pride in her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman, how the movie explores diva worship as salvation, and what it means to connect with queer fans in a real way through art. All this, learning to be comfortable in the quiet (and on the rocking chair), the impact of Rita Moreno in West Side Story, running a triathlon and performing "My Man" from Funny Girl in the same day, crushing the Super Bowl halftime show with Shakira, and so much more. You’re gonna wanna be there when J. Lo learns about gay guy music video night, and when Bowen uses the phrase "paraben sludge”. No need to wait for tonight! J. Lo is on LC now! Go see the wonderful Kiss of the Spider Woman starting 10/10 in theaters!

Matt + Bow, booted from their usual studio by Malala, are joined by one of their oldest friends, and current Oh, Mary! star, Hannah Solow! The gals flap their gums and kick their gams about belting Blue Bayou at dinner theater, flopping around New York, and the life of an understudy (which is much like that of a showgirl). Also, Hannah’s viral “We Could See BOOP!” phenomenon, Jane Goodall’s impact, and tales from Hannah and Matt’s time together at NYU RA’s. All this, stained towels, the layout of Ripley Grier and what happens when you cook for yourself and it turns out BAD! See Hannah in Oh, Mary until October 12th! You’ll feel so WILD!!!
