"Do You Want To Be My Friend?" (w/ Liz Feldman)

Happy birthday to Matt and happy DAY to all of us because Liz Feldman, creator of Netflix's No Good Deed and Dead To Me, is here on Las Cultch! The multitalented sunbeam of a human joins our hosts to discuss making friends in mid-life, getting her start at the Groundlings in LA, and the cultural shift that came with The L Word. Also, casting No Good Deed, still getting starstruck after years in the biz, and creating what you want to watch. All this, the fascinating story of how Liz came out to her parents, how getting a Cameo is stressful, season 3 of The White Lotus and its new theme song, and the fact that there are too many goddamn coffee places within a specific vicinity in Los Angeles.

We're back! And first and foremost, Matt, Bow and everyone at Las Cultch is extending all the love and strength in the world to those affected by the fires in Los Angeles. We implore everyone to do what they can to help those suffering. As far as culture goes, Matt and Bowen have finally taken The Substance and are quite simply throwing neck for the film. They discuss the Oscar-worthy contributions of Demi (Duh-MEE) Moore, Margaret Qualley (KWA-LEE) and Coralie Fargeat (Far-JEE-AHT) in what Las Cultch is calling the best film of 2024 (biases aside). Also, Bowen Yang as Mubi gay, the SAG noms (go Bowen and Wicked!), this very competitive Best Actress year, Pamela Anderson's renaissance and The Last Showgirl, Sean Baker's Anora and the TALENT that is Mikey Madison, and Sebastian Stan finally getting his flowers. All this, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City as Nobel Prize frontrunner and Meredith Marks as Mt. Rushmore of Housewives contender, discourse on The Traitors season 3, the Jerry Springer doc on Netflix, South Park as formative culture, "Barney haters" and how Sesame Street is full of broken people. And that's not even all, as our hosts get into, Bowen's life altering trip to Japan, Matt's bruised tailbone and will to fuck, and high praise for Nikki Glaser at the Golden Globes.
