"Matt & Bow Take The Substance" (w/ Matt & Bowen)

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.

Elphaba may sing about how she is "not that girl" but Cynthia Erivo IS that girl! Okay?! And she's also the guest this week on Las Cultch! The magnificent hyper-talent joins Matt & Bow to discuss auditioning for Wicked, crafting her Elphaba and ultimately letting her go. Also, running towards portraying some of the most iconic people and characters in history (Aretha Franklin! Celie! Harriet Tubman!), running in general, and a moment of appreciation for the color green. All this, how Ariana Grande has helped Cynthia find her voice as a recording artist, the responsibility and magic of singing at The Kennedy Center, the importance of listening to lyrics, the oppression of onion and garlic, and continued angst about the lack of availability of British snacks in America.
