Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - On The Tenth Day of Culture... March 25th, 2001: Best Actress Julia Roberts? The Oscars Get it Right for Once

Episode Date: December 23, 2020

Do you remember the last time everyone united behind the same idea, on an international scale? It's only happened twice: when the Nazis lost WWII and when Julia Roberst won her Oscar for the inarguable best biopic of all time, "Erin Brockovich." Why don't you listen to this episode and chime in on what your parenting style is/would be as they compare to Matt and Bow's distinct approaches. Were your parents strict and did you not give a shit? Interesting. After some discussion of the Oscars as The Academy, the boys play some new, challenging rounds of MFK with queens of the screen, and Matt's Kate Hudson impression leads him to a potentially iconic webseries idea. Yes, you heard that right, honey, no need for a q-tip, sweetheart. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is that culture? Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. Day 10.

We hit the double digit. We officially entered double digit territory. One of three double digit episodes. Oh, yes. And that's the thing is I think that it's a huge moment in anyone's life when they hit the double digits for the first time. And, you know, this this series is sort of doing that. And so it should be celebrated in the way I was celebrated when I became 10 years old, which was my parents got me tickets to see Mariah Carey at Madison Square Garden. That was my first concert ever.

And it came on my 10th birthday because it was double digits. And that's huge. Was that not one of, didn't you know at the time that that would be and was the best day of your life? One of the best days. I don't think any person has ever had a gayer reaction to me opening up the envelope that was Mariah Carey, Madison Square Garden tickets. And we should say they were absolutely horrendous seats. But it didn't matter because it was my first concert ever. And it was the Heartbreaker Tour where I knew the whole gig was Mariah was going to be facing off with Miss Bianca. So this was huge.

You know how there's like a kingmaker? This was like a queermaker. This was like queermaking event. Queermaker. My parents were queermaking event. Queermaker. My parents were the queermakers in that moment. They solidified what was already sort of chemically brewing. Yes. And all because double digits, quote unquote, are a big one.

We've brought this up many times throughout the podcast, but I think very fond thoughts when I think of you as a child and thinking, oh goodness, what would life have been like if we had found each other at that age? Would we have been friends? I think of you as a child and thinking, oh goodness, what would life have been like if we had found each other at that age? Would we have been friends? I think we would have. I think we definitely would have because I, correct me if I'm wrong, but you were like an outdoors kid. Not really. No. You weren't like riding bikes? Not in the way that you would associate with someone growing up in Colorado riding bikes. Then you know what? We would have been video game friends.

We would have been... But you don't like video games. No. As a kid, I was obsessed with video games. I had the classic mother that was like, you know what? You can't... No video games.

That was all she could say to me. It ruined my life. Very classic mother. You know what? You're punished. That's what she would say.'re punished you're punished that's she would always lead up to it by saying oh you know what what you're punished punished and i just go no and i would say what is it what's the punishment she'd say you can't do video games and i go how would she enforce that she would take the console away i just wasn't allowed

to go down there and do that see this is like a fun an interesting difference you had maybe i'm gonna say let me just go out this might not be true in fact i don't even think it is well i'll correct you if you're wrong i'll gather you right up if you say something wrong about my family if you say if you come for my family i'll gather you right up i'm not saying something wrong i'm putting you on notice this is for the purposes of this okay let's say your parents are less strict than mine okay and yet whenever they would be strict with you and be like no you're grounded you're punished you would actually obey them yes but whenever my parents would say my parents wouldn't let me watch saturday morning

cartoons for like a while because they they said that it was like rotting my brain because i would get up at like nine and watch all my shows all day yeah all day and they'd be like oh my god bowen it's it's ruining bowen they would lock the basement door and was one of those like button locks that you press on the knob right and then on the other side it's just that hole yeah for the longest time i couldn't figure out how to unlock it but then i just took like a chopstick or something or just like it was either chopstick or a needle or a nail you were that defiant so i was was just like, I need to watch Digimon. I need to watch Yu-Gi-Oh.

I need to watch all my kids' WB, my Fox Kids programming, honey. And I would take like, or like an Allen wrench. And then I would just like unlock the door. An Allen wrench, girl? You were defiant. You were defying your parents. Yeah, I think that what's happening here is I think I had a scarier dad than you. My dad's personality has changed so much from when I was younger.

Like, especially like when I was in like elementary school, middle school, like I think it was probably the way he was disciplined, but it was sort of, it was, it was not, I never, never violence, but always just like threat based. It was like, you better do this thing and i was like and now it's so weird to even think about the fact that he was ever that way because he's the most gentle person ever yes but it's so interesting like yeah he's he's a sweetheart but but he was you know he was a strict parent like i was not allowed in high school to be drinking at all like i had a lot of social friends that like their parents were like loose about that whatever but

that kind of dad that was like you may not do this not even at family parties that was my dad i had a strict dad in that way and my mother was very like that's what your father says and she agreed i i believe that because so that's why i would never defy them because it would be it would be my i would i would sneak around them and then i'd lock the door again and pretend that i never went down there but then i times the times i would be caught it was like a big blowout but like same thing with the video games like my dad the first console i ever owned because they never let me get an n64 or super nintendo or anything the first one i was able to get was in high school and at that time the PS2 had been out for years and I was like,

can I please buy a PS2? Fine. But then it got out of hand in his eyes. And so he hid the console and then I spent like 45 minutes looking for it, found it, knew where he had it every time. And then just like would sneak out or sneak in or sneak around the house. And like,

he hid it in like the little section of the basement that was unfinished. And I would go into that section, know exactly where he hid it, and then just play it, plug it in. This might be a controversial question for you in the moment. But I just, I don't think my house was big enough to pull anything like that off. Like, I feel like my parents would never have that. They would have seen me doing it. I've seen your childhood house though. No, no but this i lived in a house before that that was like my major video game house and i'm telling you like that house was there's no way i could have gotten away with that so i think you

just had a big house bitch honestly if i'm ever gonna raise kids on the off chance that i do i gotta raise them in a tiny house it cannot cannot be too big. Cause they get sneaky. Cause they're going to be sneaky. Like you are. They get sneaky. I need, I need to have my eye on them. Oh, and you've grown up to become an even sneakier person.

Yes. Sneaker. How, what's your, what's your parenting style going to be? Well, if I have children, I think I'd actually be a very good parent and I would try to be,

um, hands off about types of things that like, just let the kid experience this, that, the other thing. But then again, like, I don't know. Because I feel like I'd be more scared for a child that I raise knowing what's out there because it's like worth being scared about. I don't know. I probably also will not have children.

I probably won't. But my fear is that I will want to shape my child's personality in such a way that is ultimately destructive to their emotional health like i see it now with parents where i'm just like you are trying to make this kid a certain person just internally not even like not even in like the way like that's hard yeah i'm just like hmm you're grafting that onto them because it's what you want and that's unfortunately like at the essence of every parenting mistake i don't know we should also say though that there truly is no right way to do it and it's also the hardest thing in the world and who are we're two childless faggots we are no one

to see you to judge at all and saying like, literally, that's the reason I had to take the question again. I tried to answer it once and then had to take it again because this confounds me so much. I have no idea what level of responsibility it takes to really give your attention 100% of the time and resources 100% of the time to another person like that's crazy and truly hats off i just would not want to find out how i'm gonna fuck up my kid and i'm listing ways i think could happen because i feel like i can commit any of them like parenting must be crazy hard if you are well first of all our reader parents doug says hardest job ever in the chat doug we love you we love everything anytime you've talked about your your daughter i think well doug must be

a great father it's the it's the hardest thing i don't doubt that at all if you're a reader and you're a parent we love you we love you so much everyone who has raised someone else in the world we love you so much we love everyone who's raised someone else in the world we love you tonight i love the way you made world two syllables in a way. World. No, you did world. I guess it wasn't. It's about two separate syllables and you changed the note which I love. Sing world.

Sing world. I can't do it. Do it. No, no, no. Sing the word world. It will make people feel really good. I did it earlier when you didn't prompt me. Bowen, if you sing the word world right now, it's going to bring peace. Do it. World. See, and that was bad.

And that was bad because I was on the spot. I was put on the spot. You know what was one of the best moments in the world? Our 10th day of culture. Our 10th day of culture was a day that was a moment that was one of the best in the world. I agree. And it solidified something that we all had been feeling. Yes.

But then was confirmed. And it was a moment that an institution that claims to be a gatekeeper, as they say in the biz, actually got it right. They actually got it right. This is... On the 10th day of Crip Culture, it was... March 25th, 2001.

Best actress Julia Roberts? The Oscars get it right for once. Wow. Again, we might be revisiting some themes on the podcast. We've talked about Erin Brockovich with Hunter Harris on our own independently. One of my favorite movies of all time. Look, this isn't just about Erin Brockovich, which has been covered ad nauseum on this podcast.

This is one of the greatest films. We know it. We love it. It's one of the great star turns in movie star history, let alone best actress history. This is about the moment being met with the occasion and the Oscars getting it right for once. And no one disagreeing.

Universal praise. Universal praise. But it wasn't a moment of anyone going i don't know about that it was a moment that unified the world in a way we hadn't seen really since i think since the nazis lost i think since the nazis lost the I, do you remember that dress? Do I remember that dress? Do you remember her date, Benjamin Bratt? I had seen Miss Congeniality.

Oh, I had seen it several times. And we love that she had such a handsome date on her arm. Who, you know, did they make it? Certainly not. Certainly not. But did I believe they were in love that night and nothing would ever come between them and the support that he gave her no this is one of my favorite movies as i've said it's also i think one of the best movies based on a real person you know and a and a biographical movie, biopic as they call those. A biopic, as they say, a genius one. And really it does what biopics I think should do more,

which is not try to tell the entire life of a person, but take a defining moment in their life and let that speak volumes about who they are, okay? There you go this there you go should be the biopic way like for example you know you could you could call i don't know what's what's one that was oh my week with marilyn did you see that i with michelle williams did not but i see this this this is just like a moment in her life, but I think the film captures who she was and what her life's predicament was quite well.

And I feel that this Erin Brockovich of it all did that very same thing. You had Albert Finney. You had Erin Eckhart. You had so many, so many wonderful, wonderful actors. Oh my God, you had the woman with the red hair who was in... Miss Contreras Farrell? Oh, wait. Yes.

The red-haired woman who was in... What else was she in? She was in... Two Wrong Feet and Fucking Ugly Shoes. Two Wrong Feet and Fucking Ugly... Okay, hold on. Some of our readers probably know this. They're screaming. She was in Brandy Cinderella. Yes! One of the sisters in Brandy Cinderella was the one one of the sisters in brandy cinderella was

the one who was listen i just think we've gotten on the wrong foot here she has like an iconic name priscilla no that's wrong hold on our readers know this hunter harris if she's listening is yelling at us through her sub stack vian cox minerva Anna, you're just saying names. Yeah, Anna, you're just saying names. Teresa! Teresa! Okay, I'm sorry, but that was worth it. Teresa is a huge, annoying lady name. Karen is taken off, but Teresa, that's a real white woman we need to fear.

Teresa. And readers who are named Teresa, we mean that in the way that the name conjures up a feeling in a movie, in the structure of a movie. You see? You understand. There's two women. You have to choose one of them that you like more, Erin, Teresa. No, we love Erin. We love Erin. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And you know who is famously named Teresa? Ms. Mother Teresa. And still, we're on this podcast saying what we're saying, and I don't think either of us are backing down. No, but then you have people like Teresa May,

and we're not going to ever say we like her. No. Are you kidding me? No, no, no. No. Sorry. Teresa Caputo? Get lost.

No, get lost. Erin Brockovich, I just think it's just like every scene Julia nails it. It's crazy. Yes. And because of this, we look to the Oscars to sort of put the stamp of approval. Yes. And this is, I think, what this actually, honestly, is when I think back to my childhood and when I got obsessed with the Oscars, this was like the perfect moment.

Because as a kid, you know, there weren't too many celebrities when we were that age. It was like the big ones were the big ones. And Julia Roberts was the biggest celebrity. So for her to win an Oscar for a movie where she was doing all that, it was, again, queen-making moment. So interesting to think about, because a lot of people will say something like, Julia Roberts is sort of the last big movie star actress. And I don't think that's true. I just think people are having enough distance now

from the 90s to say, that was such a bygone era that we'll never have again. But it's like, in Julia Roberts is in the nineties. You were like, we're never going to have an Elizabeth Taylor. It's like, it's just, this is just this.

I mean, like 20 years from now, we'll be like, gosh, we'll never have another Alicia of a candor or like Florence. You know what I'm saying? Those are weird examples, but you know,

like I buy Florence. I don't buy Alicia. I know. Yeah. So I knew, I knew you would say that. I don't register Alicia Vikander. I don't, I don't know Alicia. I know, yeah. I knew you would say that. I don't register Alicia Vikander. I don't know her.

And yet, she has an Oscar. Did the Oscars get that one right? I would say no. I would say no. Even not being able to remember what she looks like. I think she won for The Danish Girl, which was like an Eddie Redmayne performance in which he played a trans

woman. And she, I believe won the supporting actress ask her for that one, that which what of this fall on Bravo. It's time to turn up. Think you've seen it all. I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately.

We're friends like that. Who needs enemies? You ain't seen nothing yet. Cheers to being Germanic. With the Real Housewives of Potomac. Oh my gosh, can I take this in? It's going to be amazing. New York City.

So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable. It was just very big sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health

is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in. Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place We'll see you next time. us. Hey, everybody, it's Matt Rogers. Back when I was a server, I was one bad day away from a huge personal crisis. Thankfully, Giving Kitchen is here to serve those that serve us. Giving Kitchen is a nonprofit helping any food service worker who gets hurt, gets sick, loses a family member or their housing. That's giving relief. So when you or someone you know is in crisis, tell them to ask for help from Giving Kitchen by visiting givingkitchen.org. That's givingkitchen.org.

Together, we are Giving Kitchen. We help food service workers. how riled up are we nowadays about the oscars just getting it wrong and do we feel like there's just the concept it's not as bad as the grammys i don't think but oscars i feel like there's never there hasn't been a year in a while where everyone's like wow well parasite was was a moment where it was gotten right but i also feel like while this is the way i feel about the oscars and pretty much any major awards now it's like when they get it right i like to celebrate them and when they get it wrong i like to be like oh well it's all fixed like when something is deserved and i feel like it's getting a moment i I love to celebrate that. And then when it's like a ridiculous thing

that shouldn't happen, I'm like, well, I mean, fuck the whole thing anyway, right? Like I can devalue these major awards like at the drop of a hat if I need to do. But if something I like happens, I'm like, it really was deserved. And, you know, of course,

like a lot of gay culture is like, you know, watching these awards and like understanding what they are. But at a certain point, you do have to call bullshit on. Of course, like a lot of gay culture is like, you know, watching these awards and like understanding what they are. But at a certain point, you do have to call bullshit on. Of course. All of it. But when they do something like Julia, you're on your feet. When Julia is pushed through, you're like, oh, but that's just the system working the way it should.

Yes, absolutely. Meanwhile, it's like, you know, they're still doing it this year. And what has even come? I don't know. I guess like, I would imagine next year will be so crowded because everyone's going to release their movie next year that's waited this year.

Or I don't know what will happen. But this year I'm kind of like, are we having an Oscars? What happened? They're having it in person. I think they're April now. They're in April. Right. I mean, I literally know they're happening.. I think they're April now. They're in April. Right.

I mean, I literally know they're happening. Like, I know they're just pushed back, but it's just bizarre to me. Like, I feel like what are the Oscar movies, quote unquote, that you've seen this year? We are in December. I think truly, like, the thrill of a film going experience this year for me was because it's all blurring together. I'm like, Oh,

right. Like, yeah. Fucking that Charlize Theron movie that came out on Netflix. I'm like, Oh, that one. Yeah.

The old guard. Like that was June. And then like the, the last movie that I like felt like I was like truly like enjoying was like the hunt. Yeah. I was like, it felt like I was like,

kind of like jacking into like a movie going experience. I don't think I've had that this year, which is unfortunate. I mean, like, I guess the Oscar movies are like Mank. Right. Which I didn't even really know

what it was. And then I watched the preview for it and I was like, oh, I don't want to watch that. No, no. I mean, like I will because I'm sure it'll start racking up nominations from places but like is that the oscar movie this year the other night i watched the movie let them all talk which is the new steven soderbergh movie

with another steven soderbergh film yes diane weist and candace bergen and they improvise basically basically i think a large vast majority of the dialogue was improvised by the actors lucas hudges is also in and jemma chan and they were given like outlines of scenes and like told to improvise based on that and as a result the movie to me felt like more of an experiment than an actual movie a good experiment that i enjoyed watching a lot of some of the dialogue was fun the performances are great but it's just not really a tightly constructed good movie wasn't like an art experiment that happened on hbo max on a boat oh yes with meryl streep on a boat i mean we were we were semi-joking about air about julie roberts winning the oscar for this being a moment that united the country, the world

over, but no one likes the same movies anymore. That is another thing. I feel like those, well, that's not really true because sometimes a big blockbuster movie comes along and is nominated, but it doesn't happen a lot. Even when Parasite came out, you had people be like, I'm going to be a devil's advocate and say that it's bad. Like, yeah, it's just, that's just the, but that's just the culture now. Unfortunately, that's the big culture.

It did feel really good to see at least that room on television that we were watching felt like they were unanimously excited about a movie winning. And I think that is honestly what's missing is just that moment where like green book, the shape of water. Yeah, yeah, exactly. where like green book shape of water yeah yeah exactly like when green book and i mean shape of water people say is good but like when movies like green book win or like things like that where it's just like what is happening it's like where's the unseen majority that's that's voting for this when it happens sometimes that way it just can it demystifies the whole thing because i'm like i, I know Green Book isn't the best movie.

I know. Right, right, right. I just think in the last decade, it's been wacky as hell. Yeah. Birdman, I remember people being like, wait, what? It's just been Oscars. I mean, we're joking in the title of this day, of course. Get it right for once.

They obviously have gotten it right before. Many times. But now, the conception around it maybe it's because we all sort of know how the as as an as a public how the industry works and how yeah sometimes these awards are bought but it's like oh but wait there there needs to be like a year because what because what won that the year that julia won the 73rd it was gladiadiator, I think. Let's see. Right? I mean, I think the Oscars were Russell Crowe, Gladiator, Julia Roberts.

And then was that, who won Supporting Actress that year? Marsha Gay Harden for Paula. Marsha Gay Harden was like the big surprise. But I remember it was like, even Gladiator too was like, you didn't really question it. It was just kind of happening and it was like, even gladiator too was like, you didn't really question it. It was just kind of happening and it was a huge movie,

but they don't really make those kinds of movies that are prestige and huge at the same time anymore. I don't know. You really realize like how much has changed. Like, like you used to have the industry tell you like, this is a great movie and people would go see it. Now it's like

not anymore it really doesn't happen that way i just have i just like have not kept my ear to the ground about like the repercussions that like warner brothers is gonna have on like theaters and shit or just like movies i mean you saw timmy chalamet's little um statement that he made there on the end of snl he wore a shirt that said legendary legendary oh yeah right right right right right which is the legendary is in dispute with warner brothers because yes you know not every not everyone's on the same page about what warner brothers is doing about dumping all their 2021 movies onto hbl max right it's controversial i guess i'm worried but it's already like the change is already irreversible

ever since like streaming has dominated our lives even before the pandemic I mean I will say this I am going to be very happy as someone who wants to remain safe for as long as possible to have that content that's what I'll say

I think that this is an inevitable and responsible thing that they're doing. While I can also see the other side, which is, you know, it will be a shame if this hurts the businesses of movie theater and the model of going to the movie theater. But I really don't think it will. I think that the industry will continue to be what it's always been, which is those big blockbuster movies. People are going to go see them in the movie theater because of that experience. Right. And other than that, people are going to be streaming them because

that ain't the fault of the pandemic or this one studio. That is what's happening with the entire film industry. So you can kick your feet and scream and talk about like how this is, you know, destroying the movie going experience, but it's been destroyed that's what i'm saying yeah ever since bird box it's been over truly bird box was the meteor that crashed on the dinosaur planet of hollywood baby and and and as they say in the biz ouch ouch i thought you were gonna say out damn spot speaking of movies of the time like huge movies of the time this is when like armageddon and deep impact came out and you know my ass was terrified of those movies it was very scary it was as a kid

watching those movies it was very scary to think of wow we could all die um as a result watching those movies, it was very scary to think of, wow, we could all die as a result of a random cosmic event. Like huge time for like fatalism porn in movies, like Independence Day, Titanic. You know what I mean? Like mass events that cause death huge in the late nineties, early aughts. And I guess it stopped with like,

not 2012. Wasn't the last of them but it was like that was the beginning where all of us had hit a wall with like okay we don't have to watch natural disasters or just like apocalypse movies and then it moved into post-apocalyptic where that's kind of different yes obviously yes but yeah that you're right that was the 90s and the aughts were like that thriving ground for those movies very interesting what were we thinking and screaming for from inside our public consciousness our collective consciousness at the time that we needed such titillating sort of world ending scenarios kind of makes makes you think, huh, reader? Well, anyway, we're talking, of course,

about the night that Julia Roberts won Best Actress, signifying that the Oscars had finally for once gotten it right. And I would say that Julia continues to be, just to put a fasten on this, continues to be one of the most interesting dynamic queens that we have out there ruling the screen.

Would you consider her a queen ruling the screen? I would consider her a queen with a scepter in hand, waving it across the realm. She's got two hands on it. My sister Matt is holding the scepter. I'm matt is holding the scepter i'm sort of holding the scepter but look this is good improv this is good prop work like this is really good

object work yes yes this is me holding a boom now mime mime girl podcast famously a visual medium julia roberts is a queen ruling the screen once and for all we serve at her pleasure. Mary, fuck, kill. Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Cameron Diaz. Oh, I truly thought Cameron Diaz was the most beautiful woman on Earth. Okay, so that means? For a long time. So I'm going to fuck her. Okay. Mary, Julia, kill Sandra.

I'm sorry. Damn. Sandra, Sandra with the blind side. It's funny that you have two Oscar winners and Cameron Diaz. Well, they were the queens that ruled the screen at that time because Meg Ryan kind of said, see ya. I would have thrown like Reese Witherspoon in there, maybe. You feel?

Okay. I feel that Reese Witherspoon kind of rose at the Anne Hathaway time. Interesting. I did just the fulcrum that you were setting, which was late 90s, early aughts. Mid to late 90s, yes. were setting which was late 90s early aughts mid to late 90s yes queens of the screen 90s that went from like rom-coms into like prestige semi-action pressed and prestige yes yes i'm unfortunately gonna have to kill sandra yeah wow joel can booster is shook i know

I have to marry Reese because she is just, she's everything to me. I love her.

She's been the star of all my favorite things. Legally Blonde is one of my favorite things ever. I'm gonna have to fuck Kate Hudson because you gotta, you gotta fuck Kate Hudson. You're gonna kill Anne. Hudson you're gonna kill Anne and I'm gonna kill Anne even though it hurts me pains me so much to do so I just feel like out of the three

of them maybe we've seen everything we need to see you think she's done it all she has convinced me she's a legend she really has. I'm like, well done, Anne, as I take her out of the world.

I think there is a future waiting for her as she continues to age up where she can do some interesting things. Can you imagine Anne Hathaway with just a few crow's feet, some gray hair? It's going to be epic. It's going to be truly amazing and you but that's i guess i don't know i yeah that's very hard very hard bow and yang and honestly the readers are gonna be really mad at me for fucking kate hudson what's not to want to fuck with kate hudson and i feel bad that anne had to die because i didn't want to like we love her because I love how much you love nine and almost famous and everything else
