“Constant Comment” (w/ Nathan Lee Graham)
Simply, one of the best episodes ever - written AND performed by artist, actor, singer, writer, director, Grammy-award winning Las Culturistas icon Nathan Lee Graham. Basically, all you need to know is that Nathan comes into the studio with a piece of paper that has SEVEN “I Don’t Think So, Honey's!” pre-prepared - that’s the level of craftsmanship we’re speaking about here. For real: Nathan is one of the kindest people to roll into this studio and one of the most gracious interviewees. Sorry folks, a pro is a pro and we can ALL learn something from Nathan Lee Graham. Hear about Nathan’s amazing career, his new show “LA to Vegas”, PLENTY of Zoolander gossip, and much, much more (Eartha Kitt, Toni Collette, the Grammys….you know…Las Culturistas!)This episode is an…”iconic drop”. “I don’t have to star in anything, but I do have to steal it” - Nathan Lee Graham.

"Twee" (w/ Eliot Glazer & Guest Host Michelle Collins)
It's the last episode of 2017 and it's only fitting that Las Culturistas ends the year with a little twist! Matt has been whisked off to Los Angeles for 24 hrs, so in his stead, the Floridian Queen & host of Fresh Batch podcast, Michelle Collins, joins forces with Bowen to welcome a true Culturista to the pod, Eliot Glazer (New Girl, Broad City). And if you're thinking this episode WOULDN'T cover sound baths, then you're extremely wrong. Because they talk about sound baths. As well as Twee Culture, Jada Pinkett Smith's metal band "Wicked Wisdom," modern parenting, The View (and Michelle's experience as a host), Plus, Hot Engineer Will tells the insane story of being flown out to LA to walk on the red carpet with 30-50 other Will Smiths for the premiere of Netflix's "Bright", starring Will Smith. And of course, three hot "I Don't Think So, Honeys!" to close out the year.

"Romp" (w/ Mitra Jouhari)
Culturistas, I present to you the giggliest episode yet! Comedian and writer Mitra Jouhari joins Matt & Bowen for an episode that can only be described as an absolute “romp.” Aside from the usual platinum nuggets of culture (I.e. Octavia HAS the gravitas), Mitra brings magic to the forefront of the cultural discussion: telepathy, healing, bending rocks, etc. Plus, Matt, Bo, and Mitra remember the shittiness of Argo (fuck yourself), discuss their favorite Oscar contenders, anticipate the trash heap that is Floribama Shore, and dare ask the question...who is the next Meryl?CONNECT W/ LAS CULTURISTAS ON FACEBOOK & TWITTER for the best in "I Don't Think So, Honey" action, updates on live shows, conversations with the Las Culturistas community, and behind-the scenes photos/videos:www.facebook.com/lasculturistas/twitter.com/lasculturistas(@LasCulturistas)PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND RATE US on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.LAS CULTURISTAS IS A FOREVER DOG PODCASThttp://foreverdogproductions.com/fdpn/podcasts/las-culturistas/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Three-Tool Player" (w/ Aparna Nancherla)
Triple Threats? Yesterday's news, honey! Today the industry demands THREE-TOOL PLAYERS! And nobody utilizes her three tools like our guest, comedian Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman, Master Of None). Aparna, a se-ri-ous Culturista, brings the heat with her "defining culture": Sesame Street. So, yes Matt and Bo deep dive on the childhood classic - but that's just the tip of the iceberg: Bowen viciously comes for "Call Me By Your Name" and Matt enthusiastically spoils "Million Dollar Baby." Other topics include The View, the college experience, Aparna's rider, M&Ms, and of course - three brand spanking new "I Don't Think So, Honeys."And PLEASE contribute to OPERATION CHART TOPPER by going on Apple Podcasts to Subscribe, Rate 5 Stars, and Review Las Culturistas!!CONNECT W/ LAS CULTURISTAS ON FACEBOOK & TWITTER for the best in "I Don't Think So, Honey" action, updates on live shows, conversations with the Las Culturistas community, and behind-the scenes photos/videos:www.facebook.com/lasculturistas/twitter.com/lasculturistas(@LasCulturistas)LAS CULTURISTAS IS A FOREVER DOG PODCASThttp://foreverdogpodcasts.com/las-culturistas Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
