    "Huge Fornicators" (w/ Cate Blanchett)

    Turns out that we, too, can command the winds, sir! Because CATE BLANCHETT, star of the new film Black Bag and (duh) countless other incredible films is here on Las Cultch for a very fun conversation! But first, a culture catch-up! Matt and Bowen run through their experiences at the Oscars, its after parties, and Gaga's episodes of SNL and LAS CULTURISTAS (which we still cannot believe). Then, the true GOAT of acting sits with our hosts to talk about what wearing white sneakers may mean for your sex life, Barbie and doll culture, Sydney's embrace of gay culture, and experiences at Berghain. Also, Cate weighs in on whether there are too many televised award shows, discusses her fascination with ribbon dancing and rhythmic gymnastics, and unpacks her lack of an acting process. And you KNOW that Tár is thoroughly discussed! All this, the word "buddy", the phrase "hakuna matata" and the nightmare of a toilet seat left up. You wanna f**k me, Barbara?!?! If not, it's fine! We hope you enjoy this episode anyway :) Black Bag is in theaters now! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    "We're Gonna Dance" (w/ Lady Gaga)

    So... LADY GAGA is on Las Culturistas. Somehow, we've reached the moment where the timeless artist herself sits down with Matt and Bowen to sort through the MAYHEM. The three chat about Gaga's incredible seventh album, rain as production value, choosing "Shallow" to perform at SNL50 and just how important SNL is to Lady Gaga and all the musical artists who get the opportunity to guest on the show. All this, dark arts and the poetry of pop music, transitioning from being a student of fame to being a student of entertainment, the role of humor in Gaga's creativity, the importance of the Chromatica Ball, how it really feels to be called "chaotic", and the choice to end her album with "Die With A Smile". Also, speaking up on trans rights at the Grammys, a tiny little preview of Coachella (but not really), Broadway hopes and dreams, whether or not a lighthearted film is in Gaga's future and how community is truly everything. What a perfect day! What a perfect pop icon for us all! And what perfect MAYHEM! Check out the album if you... haven't? But also... who are you? You should be OFF BOOK by now.

    "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. Liz's new Headgum podcast with friend of the show Jessi Klein is called Here To Make Friends and it launches on March 14th! Check it out, as well as everything Liz has done and will do!

    "Locked In" (w/ Tate McRae)

    It's OK, we are all VERY OK this week as Tate McRae guests on Las Culturistas! The superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss her thoughts on the Britney comparisons, underrated Ariana bops, little slutty glasses as top fashion accessory of 2025, training in Berlin as a ballerina and competing in So You Think You Can Dance at just thirteen years old. Also, being an "asthma legend", staging a t**s-out arrest in broad daylight for a music video, songwriting with Amy Allen, Ryan Tedder and Julia Michaels, and daunting expectations when it comes to choosing THE SINGLE. All this, the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana as formative pop culture, becoming ~Tatiana~ on stage, playing with pigs in Tokyo, man bun culture, hip culture, and how Carplay often leads to conflict. You have to stream the new album So Close To What" now, it's fantastic! And see Tate on tour! We just want her TWO HANDS on us! Tate! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Matt, Bowen and special guest Amelia Dimoldenberg drag their hungover asses to the studio just hours after the SNL50 after party to discuss the SNL 50th anniversary special and concert! Also, Cher, The Lonely Island, flirting styles, intentional dating vs. "playing the field", the letter "p", the number "9", the movie "Nine", and the future of Chicken Shop Date. All this, Amelia reveals where she stands with Andrew Garfield, shares the impact of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen on her life, and gives the boys advice as first time Oscar-goers.

That means Doechi's all-timer performance, Chappell Roan aka the reigning BEST NEW ARTIST speaking to the people, the absolute END of the Kendrick-Drake beef and whether or not Billie Eilish was "snubbed". Also, Lady Gaga using her VOICE in every meaningful way possible, how LA Fire Department Capt. Sheila Kelliher Berkoh won the night, and how we may be seeing the end of all current pop girlie conflicts. All this, Charli XCX terrorizing the Grammy stage, Gaga's epic new ABRACADABRA!, major MAYHEM anticipation, and an exploration of how it feels to take orders from Gaga again. That's not even all! Matt and Bow hit the strip so there's a Las Vegas recap! Shania and Mariah in one weekend! Lots to say! And finally, Megan 2.0 as Cultural Femininomenon, the trials and tribulations of Karla Sofia Gascón and Bowen gives some artistic direction for Vegas slot machines. Don't touch birds!

But Gary is ready to open Pandora’s Box and take listeners on a deeply personal and comedic journey to uncover the outrageous truth about his Dad before he attempts to meet him face to face.

Man Thinkers is a new space populated by iconoclastic thinkers, academic renegades, and media personalities that sound unlike anything else. Cable news is for the old and social media has become too toxic to trust. George and Dan courageously have the tough conversations that mainstream media won’t touch. Man Thinkers is a safe space from safe spaces, nothing is off limits.
