    "SVMMER of KVNT" (w/ Sudi Green)

    "SVMMER of KVNT" (w/ Sudi Green)

    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!

    "Hot Enough To Go For It" (w/ MUNA)

    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!!!!!

    "A Briny Nothing That's Just for Luxury" (w/ Jenny Slate)

    Put your BMs up in the AIR! No sicko, not THOSE BMs! It'll make sense once you listen to the ep, which this week features the legendary legend star Jenny Slate! The boys catch up on happenings during their little hiatus, specifically as they relate to Things That Are Eaten in the Pines, then get into the spectacular, made-for-everyone cinematic masterpiece that is "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On." Jenny then guides Matt and Bow through her glorious tapestry of formative culture before closing out with a truly necessary(!) IDTSH. It's good to be back, readers!

Intelligent, Inane, Irresistible!

When I see a film or show I love, I often do deep dives for all promo interviews and behind-the-scenes info. So after seeing Fire Island, I dove in to my research and discovered clips of Bowen and Matt on The Today Show and on Watch What Happens Live. I was enamored with their sparkling sisterhood energy out of the gate, and have been a die hard “reader” ever since, abandoning just about every recent episode of all of my favorite regular podcasts in favor of devouring as many episodes of Las Culturistas as I possibly can. Is there such thing as a “super-stan? ” The podcast is pure joy, whether Bowen and Matt are swirling in a tornado of crackling, chaotic hilarity with their showbiz besties (Tomas Matos, D’Arcy Carden, and Aaron & Josh episodes are some of the best of these), or engaging in an insightful, intellectual discussion about the evolution of pop culture, its roots in cultural trauma, and its connection to other aspects of our society and our culture-at-large (The BD Wong episode is phenomenal).I cannot get enough. Bowen and Matt’s cultural intelligence is WAYYYY beyond their years, and I am blown away at their refreshingly broad and extensive knowledge of entertainment and LGBTQ history’s most iconic moments and pivotal players. They are definitely plugged in! Their vulnerability is heartwarming, their chemistry is dazzling, and their talents are explosive. They are smart & sexy, goofy & gracious, ridiculous & relevant. These two don’t need a social media trend to “Be Real” They ARE real. They are the REAL DEAL. Do I think I could ever give up my new obsession with Las Culturistas? I don’t think so, Honey!
