Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang - "Romp" (w/ Mitra Jouhari)

Episode Date: December 13, 2017

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.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Wednesdays at 9 on Bravo, or stream it on City TV+. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?

Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.

Where? Oh, I see. Wow. Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas.

Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. Ooh. You got to change it up a little bit sometimes. I like the little spice. Can I tell you something? Yeah. I've been thinking about it more.

It? Yes. What we just discussed prior to going on air, Bowen threw out that maybe we should go see The Shape of Water tonight. I would love to go see it with you. Because rule number 14 of culture, Octavia has the gravitas.

I'm sorry, I wasn't ready for that. But yeah, we discussed this earlier. We did discuss this. Anytime Octavia's on screen, even if it's a bullshit Hollywood reporter video, I mean, they're not bullshit. They're wonderful. I think that they are often almost entirely bullshit, but yes.

Sometimes when Octavia's on them. Well, can I tell you who they always have on those Hollywood roundtable things and never has anything to say is Amy Adams. Amy's great. She's great, but she's always on them and she's always like, um, yeah,

it's definitely, being a woman is harder. You know who's always on them? And then she sits back and like nods. Who's always on them? Who? Fucking Gina Rodriguez. She's on one.

No, she's been on two and then every time, you know what? She's great. Well, let me, she,

she, she cuts, she interrupts people. She does? You gotta stop it. She interrupts people, she cuts them off? She cuts them off. Right in a sentence?

Yes. And it's a little, like, Gina, give people space. Well, she's excited because she's new to the end. She's very excited. That's actually rule number 12 of culture. When you're new to the end, it's exciting. Okay. So I will say this.

I've been thinking about it more, and I still don't want to go see it. Yes. But I do think that it's fascinating that there is allegedly a scene where Sally Hawkins fucks a fish. I hear that she does not fuck the fish. I have actually it almost nearly confirmed. And by confirmed, I mean I have read reviews that say there is a sex scene with Sally Hawkins. There are shots of the fish dick. That's insane.

But not of her fucking the fish. Well, if there's going to be fish dick in the movie and someone's not fucking it, then it's a waste. And that to me is a very low review from this reviewer. And I will say, look out for this in the future. Soon, Bowen and I are going

to start doing movie reviews and the show is going to be called Matt and Bowen are Siskel and Ebert, bitch. Who knows? So you look out for that. Look out for it. And you know who I give a five-star review? Our guest. Yes. Absolutely. Yes. I was going to say our guest. I was going to say

our guest, and I said it, in fact. Yes. And we agree. Let's go to the credits. We agree wholeheartedly. Wholeheartedly. Let's go to the credits, bitch. You do it, honey. Our guest is a true culturista. Culturista. She's been behind the camera In front of the camera Stunning

On the side of the camera Sort of being like Hey what about Here's an alt I'm gonna pitch an alt Literally all angles of the camera All angles of the camera It's fascinating

She is writing for the upcoming show on TBS Miracle Workers Starring Daniel Radcliffe I can't believe That Daniel Radcliffe You know he was Harry Potter. He was Harry Potter. And he was in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

You know what? That's a lot of talent. That's a lot of talent. As much talent. In a small frame. As much talent. But I would say less talent than our guest. But she.

I would agree. You saw her on film. I saw the big sick with my dad. And when Meantrip was on screen, I go, that's my friend. And she was so funny. What did your dad say my dad was like she's very good

that's good and he loved that movie he said it was very very relatable to Asian culture and I said of course it is yeah and you know what we'll talk about this later

and she's currently writing for no no no she was writing for The President Show fantastic show on Comedy Central show about Trump and you know her from her amazing amazing live shows with Three Busy Debras.

It's a guy thing. Yes. And we'll have just done their holiday party, which was a blast. Oh, very much a blast. Very much a blast. We're going to be performing as Sluck. Yes. With a Christmas mix.

By request. By request. It's going to be very fun. Guys, please welcome our guest, Mitra Juhari. Hi. A Christmas make. And I will also say, recently, really took a bite out of culture with your I Don't Think So Honey at Culture, which was Ben Affleck, which was, must have, it had to happen.

It did have to happen. It was much meaner than I thought it would be. No, but I listened back to it and I thought, no, she's correct though. Like, you were correct the argo is so insane yeah i've been saying it for years i'll say it till i die no one cares it's awful no it's no i say it too yeah yeah in fact she beats the drum still she wrote it remember when she wrote that character she wrote a character sudi right when argo came out which was an iranian film reviewer reviewing the movie Ben Affleck Argo.

And the funniest thing I thought was when she was like, of course, yes, it is true. Iranians, we are always screaming. God, I mean, it's just like there's two types of Iranian characters in that show. Three, three. There's terrorist with a gun who yells all his lines. There's the one nice one who is like a maid. And then the, um,

the, uh, hordes of people swarming the embassy, like who you like into zombies, which was like, Oh my God, of course. Like that's what they were portrayed as.

And that's disgusting. Yeah. And at the end, like I saw myself in that. And at the end, I remember Sudi goes, Sudi goes, what?

Like she saw the movie. She came back and I was like, what'd you think? She was like, it was fucking terrible. She was like at the end I remember Suti goes Suti goes like she saw the movie she came back and I was like what'd you think she was like it was fucking terrible she was like at the end

like the one nice Iranian girl escapes to Iraq oh my god things will be great she has a happy ending aww which was very nice

I don't know I don't know if she does because that's in a whole other movie and that movie also like it doesn't get the shit it deserves for the like self,

so like all this Hollywood humor which pisses me off so much. I hate that sort of inside baseball-y humor. Oh my God. Ridiculous. And then all going over and over again, Argo, fuck yourself. It was like the most exhausting,

like masturbatory thing. It was like, you know, it's something that like all the old dudes on set were like. That's hilarious. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't heighten. It was like, you know, something that like all the old dudes on set were like. That's hilarious. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't heighten. It's not funny.

It's not funny. It's really not funny. It really very nearly doesn't make sense at all. And then they buckle down and really do it over and over and over again. Yeah,

I don't ever want to see Alan Alda again. I'm sorry, it's a movie that has. No, not Alan Alda. What's that guy's name? Alan Arkin.

Alan Alda. He's good. He's wonderful. Alan Alda's name? Alan Arkin. Alan Arkin. Alan Alda. He's good. He's wonderful. Alan Alda we love. Alan Arkin. Arkin. Get out of here. Get out.

Get out. See, the movie is built around a fucking pun, a bad pun, and it's repeated 20 fucking thousand times. And also Ben Affleck plays... I don't remember... Tony Mendez. Yes, Tony Mendez. So, you know.

That's cool. That's really cool. It's really cool of him. What a good actor. Made a stretch. Also, he literally. Well, he grew a beard, so. Totally, totally.

So brave. Think about this. Ben Affleck never, ever, ever changes in any of his movies. Talk about no versatility. Oh, my God. No. You're right. Like, really has no business.

What is he doing? Then, well, this was controversial because you also made some comments about the physical appearance, which I totally agree. I don't think he's attractive. I do not think he's attractive. It's okay if you think he's attractive. I do not think he's attractive. Well, no. I mean, Mitra's comments about Mitra kept repeating fat motherfucker, then at the end said I should feel bad about weight shaming.

No I shouldn't. He's a fucking asshole. He's racist. He's he's misogynist. Blah blah blah blah. I will say this. Yes. They're literally.

So with all the shit coming out about like everyone it feels like you literally opened up the newspaper. The newspaper. Every morning I wake up I fucking open my front door and i bend my ass over to pick up my newspaper and i wipe it off the dew on my on my pants and i crisp slacks on my crisp slacks and i say honey um no but blonde cis wife and her name is carol carol um short for carol ann um no but anyway so it feels like every morning coming out so of course we just got matt lauer who of course i've not liked for many years because ann curry is my girl right but i actually literally know like not literally i don't know this person but there are

there's like an one particular agent who like did something to a friend of ours and that person hasn't even been talked about yet so it's just crazy everyone there's like everyone that like you know

you think is gonna get named gets named like Bryan Singer I guess that's like pretty imminent like he didn't show up to the set of

the Freddie Mercury the Freddie Mercury biopic with what's his name Rami Malek sure he just didn't show up to set recently.

Whoa. And it's because of a health issue, but like. Me too. Yeah, same, same, same. But like, Bryan Singer, like everyone's been waiting for that one to get said, but there's like literally people out there I think that we're not even talking about. Like, I guess no one would think that would happen with Matt Lauer, because you're not thinking about it a lot.

I guess, is it a thing where it's like the only reportable, not, whatever, the only report worthy accusations are like scale up to like the level of fame of the perpetrator? Like for these sort of like- You mean now that there's been really famous people named- Right, I'm saying like, what about like,

it sucks that like the smaller potatoes people are like, might not get a free pass, but like might fly under the radar a little bit. You, and I'm saying, what about, it sucks that the smaller potatoes people might not get a free pass, but might fly under the radar a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I mean, it's funny that Russell Simmons,

that news just came and went. I know, that's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? And Russell Simmons is fucking huge. Oh my God. I mean, it's fucking Russell Simmons

and people blinked and then it was gone. Yeah, there's just too much. But it is bringing me a lot of joy and comfort to think of all the men that live in fear. It's really awesome because it's like... Truly, I feel the same way. I tweeted the other day because I saw that someone

who had assaulted me in college followed me on Twitter, and I tweeted that I was going to kill him. I retweeted that. But I didn't use his name. I just said, someone who assaulted me. I referenced something that he did online. And then I said, I'll fucking kill you one day. I think I can quote the tweet verbatim.

This is what Mitra tweeted. Just saw that a guy who sexually assaulted me in college post a tweet about empathy in the Trump era. Yes, pig, go off. I will fucking kill you one day. And I was like. I was just sitting there like fuming for like 30 minutes because I saw that he had done it. And I was like, oh, my God, the nerve.

And then and then I was like, oh, I should just threaten to kill him. Nothing he can do. Like, of course, to come out and say, like oh I should just threaten to kill him because there's like nothing he can do you have to come out and say I assaulted you and she's talking about me so he gets to just live in fear I'm not actually going to kill him but you could if you wanted to

we're going to put it out there to see how he reacts but in a world with no laws I would in a Westworld type scenario. But I love my life and I don't want to go to jail, so I'm not going to kill him. But I love that he read it and then was like, oh my God. Well, he's really lucky that you love your life. Did he unfollow you after that or have you checked? I haven't checked because I was like, I'm just going to see something else that pisses me off.

And I've done what I needed to do to process that. Yeah, it felt great. But it is. It's like all these dudes who, they're like, you know, you can't do anything. And it's like, well then clearly you did something. Yeah. Because any guy who hasn't messed up isn't scared. Isn't worried.

Yeah. Yeah, it's like, you know, you're living with like a percentage of the fear and rage and sadness and powerlessness that we have felt forever so ha ha ha ha ha fucking shout out to Sudi and Anna

Sudi Green and Anna Dresden wrote an incredible sketch on SNL last night called Welcome to Hell and you guys should check it out it has all the girls and Saoirse Saoirse with pigtails okay Saoirse was good I haven't seen yet I only watched a couple clips watch it because Saoirse. Saoirse with pigtails. Okay, Saoirse was good. I haven't seen yet. I only watched a couple clips. Watch it because Saoirse

was a good SNL host. Of course she was. And I had a feeling she would be. Yeah. Because she's legit talented. But she's versatile, yeah. Very versatile. Super versatile.

No, she's no Ben Affleck. I'm saying she's the opposite. She's certainly more talented. It's actually rule number four of culture. Saoirse Ronan is more talented than Ben Affleck. I told the way up there at number four. But I have to retract a statement that I made on Facebook. And of course, as we know, Facebook is where you say-

A permanent document. It's a permanent document. It matters. It's a living document. It matters. There was a conversation about who the next Meryl was and someone said Saoirse and I was like, no, there's no

way. Saoirse is not the next Meryl. She could be. She could be. Wow. She could be. Like young Meryl was playing, you know, those very specific roles that seemed very like ageless. Of course, many accents. Many accents. Did I actually come up in that conversation? that seemed very like ageless like you know of course many accents many accents

did I actually come up in that conversation Mitra you know what you fucking didn't so sorry work harder

try again work harder whitewashed yet again work harder I wait hold on one one

scene scene one sketch in the show last night has stayed with me which was they did like a parody of have you heard of Floribama Shore like the new Jersey Shore One scene, one sketch in the show last night has stayed with me. Which was? They did like a parody of, have you heard of Floribama Shore?

Like the new Jersey Shore? I've seen the ads and I'm scared that I'm going to watch it. Yeah, I know. I'm absolutely horrified. We must watch. We must watch. And you know there's going to be such garbage. Because if there's one place that's worse than the Jersey Shore, it's got to be the Floribama Shore. I mean, you can't force those words together.

No, but they have and they have. But they have because they hate us. Yes. Heidi Gardner was in it

and she was playing this character named Epcot. She was like, my name is Epcot. I was born in Ep, I was born in the China part of Epcot centers.

Epcot centers. And my favorite food is gum. And then Sudi told me there was a line in it that was cut, which was, I was born in the China part of Epcot Center, which means I'm half Chinese, half Disney. I said, whoever cut that is a fucking idiot. Half Chinese, half Disney. It's really good.

That's really good. Who wrote that? Apparently, Andrew Dismukes. Oh, Andrew. New writer on the show. Lovely guy. You gotta love a new writer writing a genuinely funny sketch. That's a genuinely funny bitch.

He's a genuinely funny bitch, too. He just moved from Austin to LA. Love that. Love that move. And then as soon, as soon, bitch, as he was hired, he moved to New York, as you do. You know what? That's rule number 16 of culture. If you get hired at Saturday Night Live, move to New York.

Don't you agree? I actually do. That's very brave. Actually, I have no objection. On the record, you should live here when you work there. What is the origin of your location? Where are you from? Where were you born?

Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati, Ohio. And then she was an Ohio State girl. And then she dropped out because that was actually the best decision that anyone of us could have made. I kind of wish I dropped out. You took your youth and brought it to Chicago? No, I visited Chicago a lot. Like once a month when I was in school,

I would just do the drive because I wasn't going to any of my classes. That's good. Yeah, so I never actually lived there. I just visited a lot and then moved to New York at the beginning of 2015. The Big Apple.

The Big Apple. They do call it the big apple they do call it that alright so I think this might be time to ask the question Bo yes which is

Mitra what is the culture that made you say culture is for me it made you say hmm okay there's this thing

called culture and it might be for me I'm kind of interested maybe take a step in a cultural direction you saw a movie you read a book you saw a play

a cartoon or just life or just life or you grew up in cincinnati and you you said cincinnati culture is for me wow um well okay so like the first one i think is really bad um the first one i think was like magic culture yeah Yes. Oh, wow. That's not bad. Well, it's bad because of what I did with it. What is it? So this was like elementary school. Like the Harry Potter books came, I started reading them when I was in like second grade.

So I grew up on that. I believed that I was very special. I had the confidence of like a, you know, a loved kid who lived in the Midwest where everybody was really nice. So it was like, I'm obviously magic. But not even in like a Hogwarts way, like sort of more of like a witchy way. kid who lived in the midwest where everybody was really nice so i was like i'm obviously magic and but not even in like a hogwarts way like sort of more of like a witchy way um like matilda no witchy you just you just you just said witchy yeah okay great so i will explain the things that i did

yeah um so i i had this friend madison and we were both like sort of like weirdies people were nice to us but like we were definitely the weirdest kids in school so I would um I had certain we convinced each other that we were telepathic um so we would do that on the playground um in sixth grade so like too old and um and then like you would go over to her and be like do you know what I was just thinking we would like to go like across the playground from each other and be like No, no, no, no, no. And then I'd be like, did you see a waterfall? And you know why that's genius?

All she had to say was, yes! And the whole thing would have been like this is the rest of our lives. Yeah, yeah. And then, wow, some of this is like pretty psycho. Okay, so there was one thing. No, I love this. So I like bruise really easily and get sick really easily.

Congratulations. Thank you so much. I'm so delicate. And my family, like no one else in my family is like that. So I was really convinced that I had healing powers and was bruising easily and getting sick easily because I was giving so much of myself to others.

Isn't that so crazy? That is fully crazy. So my last thing is that I I thought I could bend rocks. Like I had a little pouch of those like fake sort of like gemstone-y rocks

you get at like a gas station and I would sit Wow. Okay, I would sit and I would just be on the playground and I would like hold it in my hand and I'd be like, I'm bending it. You were like, mom,

I can bend rocks. And your mom was like, that's gum, you idiot. It's gum from the ground. I kept them in like a little leather pouch with like a dream catcher on it that I undoubtedly also got at a gas station. Oh, and the last thing, um, which is maybe the one that makes me sweat the most when I think about it, is I would sit on the playground in the mulch and make a circle, like bunch up the mulch around me so it was in the shape of a circle. And then I would close my eyes and chant over and over again, the earth and I are one, like loud. I'm not even like. I love it. I think that is like not as like totally out there as like it seems.

I'm not saying that out there as it seems. I'm not saying that you're making it sound like it's this thing. How old were you? 12. Okay. That might be a little. No, I'm saying into middle school, I would just be bored out of my mind over the weekend. And you would create things in your head. But you play with this fun little fantasy of, I have powers.

Let me test well do you know i when i was like seven or eight me and my best friend at the time georgie would walk around the gym when it was like recess time and we would have conversations about what had happened when we slept over each other's house like when our toys like got up and became alive and what they did and i would be like so actually when you were asleep i was was actually awake and I saw a couple of the toys. Like they like got together and like they were, they were, they were like having a conversation and I'm just like, you know what they said.

And we'd fully make up like the narrative of things and like walk around the gym, just like stimulating our minds, making up this garbage. I love that. Okay. See, but that's different though. Cause in our case we have agency and we have like, it's us who is like making things happen. Yeah. It's kind of an interesting commentary. Yeah. It's like, though, because in our case, we have agency and we have like it's us who is like making things happen. It's kind of an interesting commentary. Yeah.

It's like what do you think? How do you think it's it's it's manifested now? Alpha. One's like beta. You think I'm the beta? You're the beta for sure. And like we're the ones who are like affecting change. Yeah.

I love being strong. It's a good thing to be. Wait. Yeah, I love being strong. It's a good thing to be. Wait, Mitri, can we talk about this moment that you were not present for? Okay, so I saw The Big Sick with my dad over Thanksgiving. He loved it. I loved it. I haven't seen it yet. And you know what?

It was a movie that I could point to with my parents and be like, so this is kind of sort of what, exactly what I do but this is sort of what I do like there's this whole plot point in the movie where Camille's character is like trying to get into this Montreal festival quote unquote oh really yeah and so I was like I was like oh yeah like every now and then I would

stop and be like this is all about me I'm sorry but I'm like dad like that's sort of like that's sort of like what I sort of think about every now and then and he didn't really get it but it was like a nice moment and then to have Mitra in that movie I was like that's fucking great

That's a real brave challenge to take on the perspective of a gluten-free person. Well, it's like, you know, you have to think about the world in a different way than you see it. Yeah. Which is gluten, you know, you have to think about the world in a different way than you see it. Yeah. Which is gluten.

Oh, just, I had to do a Pakistani accent for it, which really stressed me out. It's so stressful. Yeah, because I'm not that, and my voice sounds like this.

Like this? My voice sounds like this. So I was like very, very stressed. I was like, I don't want to be offensive. Sure. We did a sketch one time and you had to do a Korean accent and you were stressed out about it.

Oh yeah yeah because you just don't want to like characterize it or caricature it yeah yeah yeah you have to be that's why you're not the next Meryl I'm

sorry because Meryl would have walked onto that set and done a flawless Pakistani accent and guess what Noah would have batted an eye that it was Meryl

you know what Matt you're not the next Meryl I think I am I think I am no You're not the next Meryl. I think I am. I think I am. No, you're not the next Meryl, and that's your whole personality. Sad.

Guys, the fact that we're even talking about her is crazy disrespectful. Okay, no. It's so disrespectful. You are digging your heels into this. I didn't like that. I didn't like that I didn't like that honestly I also I don't know we don't have to talk

about it anymore but it's just funny because I definitely saw that person doing interviews when Lindsay Lohan was going through it

okay so anyway like capitalizing on it anyway I want to keep talking about Big Sick I fucking loved it I thought it was

such a good movie. And then hearing Emily Gordon talk about the process for writing that, I was like, oh, cool. It's interesting. It was really weird how when the movie was coming out, the studio sort of marketed it as this rom-com. And we didn't think about that. Making the movie, we didn't sort of frame it as a rom-com at all. But I guess it sort of makes sense. But anyway, I just – I guess I'm just asking.

Like structurally it is kind of that. But it's, you know, it's more than a rom-com I think. I just thought it was just like a really – like this is sort of what you get when you get like you know like a comedian like someone who has that sort of background and perspective um but who like is able to like filter it through like a non-traditional narrative plus like i don't know there's just so many layers to that movie i think it's great and um camille i think didn't he mention you on like on marin recently or something yeah he did yeah that's great wait what did he say? Camille and Emily. Oh, they were just like talking about people who were in the movie. Oh, great.

And then they were like, me too. Me too. Me too. Oh my God, that's great. It was cool. Yeah. You know what? This is what, Meryl will never work with Showalter.

And that sets Mitra apart. Absolutely. You've worked with Showalter and Meryl has not. Yeah, so? You're kind of in a way doing Oscar promotion for this movie right now. I want you to know because they're saying Holly Hunter is going to get nominated. And she's really good. She was amazing in it.

She is amazing. Romano was really good in it, too. He was. They for a second. We're talking about him to him, too, for an Oscar nomination. But I guess, you know, Holly Hunter is an Academy Award winning actress. So it's easier to continue that conversation. Sure.

Yeah. But yes, you are representing during oscar season you are here this is a big for your consideration ad for the big sick is what i'm saying um what movies are have you seen what do you like we just talked about how you saw the killing of a sacred deer and you were not into. It's too tense for me. I didn't love it. I saw Florida Project recently, which I loved.

How was that? I thought it was beautiful. It was really, really cool. And Willem Dafoe is hot now. He actually, surprisingly, has always been hot. He's always been hot. And there...

Oh my God, I'm such trash. There was a sex scene with Willem Dafoe from years and years and years ago, and I actually couldn't believe it was Willem Dafoe. And then he rolled over and it was Willem Dafoe, and I was like, Willem! Whoa. I was like, it was Willem?

It was Willem all along. Do you know, I think he should have gotten an Oscar nomination for playing the Green Goblin. He was really good. And hot. I liked that first one. The first Spider-Man with Tobey. Tobey Spider-Man. Tobey and Kirsten Spider--Man with Toby. Toby Spider-Man. Toby and Kirsten Spider-Man for me is my favorite Spider-Man.

Yeah, I never watched the other ones. Actually, I did watch the most recent one because Gary Richardson was in it. A bunch of people are in it. It's really good. Yeah. I thought it was really good. Who does Gary play? He like yells out of a window.

I love it. But I was like, ah! And then that's like five minutes of the movie. Oh. It's really funny. But it. Oh. It's really funny. But it was cool. It was really cool. You did a great job.

What if we sat and we're watching Spider-Man Homecoming, and it was like, yeah, play a guy that's yelling out of a window. And actually, though, it was a huge part. Like, what if Gary was in the movie for 15 minutes? I would love it. That would be insane. That would be incredible. But it would be a trick.

Yes. Because you thought he was guy who yells out of window and then was a huge part. I don't quite, I don't really know what you're saying. I'm just saying

it would be fun. That would be cool if he had a bigger part. I'm just saying, what I'm saying is it would be fun to see friends with big parts.

Yes. That would be very fun. It's actually rule of culture number 91. It's really fun to see friends with big parts. Yes. That would be very fun. It's actually rule of culture number 91. It's really fun to see friends with big parts. What about small parts? Small parts too. No, not as fun.

Okay. Not as fun. Well, sorry. Can't watch anything I've ever done. Only done small parts. Only done fucking. Well, small actors, small parts, blah, blah, blah. Well, Bowen's about to be in high maintenance.

Oh, but that was a small part. Was it small? But you're in the trailer. You're in the trailer and you say a whole line. I say a whole line in the trailer, Kimberly. Fantasmagoria. I'm just there. Was that improvised?

That was improvised and I got a shout out, Nicole Silverberg. You must shout her out. Who inspired me to use that word for a year. She taught us the word Fantasmagoria when she used it in her I Don't Think So Honey. Which is singular. It's not Fantasmagoria-um. It phantasmagoria when she used it in her I Don't Think So Honey. Which is singular. It's not phantasmagorium. It's phantasmagoria. Even describes one.

You would think it's plural. She was using the word phantasmagoria to describe the movie Joy. To bring that back around to an Oscar film. Is Joy a cartoon? It was Jennifer Lawrence. Oh, then it means something. Here's the thing. Here's the thing with it means something. Here's the thing. Here's the thing with Oscars season.

It's like, we're not going to be thinking about most of these movies in six months. No, I'm saying next year we'll be like, oh yeah, that existed. Well, that's, I think, a symptom of the fact that we, and I think this actually could be a year that changes all that, if what I'm hearing is true, and Get Out wins Best Picture, which they're saying could happen. Or if Lady Bird wins, and Greta Gerwig wins Best Director, and that would be huge. Or even if Jordan Peele wins Best Director. This could be a year, I think, especially with all the Weinstein stuff, because he owned the Oscars. Right, right.

With all that now being kind of gone and that kind of iron fist not ruling the Oscars process, I think this could be a year where maybe we award something truly artful. Yeah. Because I think that the Oscars should be real. I think it's nice. But it's actually merit-based. Because right now it's obviously bought and paid for and garbage, but it would be nice

for it to mean something. And I think the best picture should be a movie that means something about the time. You know what I mean? Get Out would be great. Get Out would be amazing. It'd be so cool to say that that was named by everyone as the best picture. Yeah, I mean, Moonlight.

Moonlight, too. Yeah. And I think that literally no one saw that coming. No one saw that coming, but also, like, it was robbed of its moment in a way, too. I hated that. I hated that. Now that I think back on it, it's like, that sucked, that moment. I'm just like, it was great TV.

Like, we were all like, what the fuck? But, like, looking back back on it I'm just like what a bummer yeah you know like I don't know the part of me that like wants to watch the world burn

and like loves the drama of it was like that is so fucking funny like this is all a farce if it had been like any other movies I would have but like the symbolism

of that moment of like the white jazz movie versus like the beautiful film that like made me cry the whole time LGBT like black movie.

Yeah. A hundred percent. Like it just would have been so moving to watch them open the envelope and say moonlight. It would have been such, so shocking and amazing. And the fact that it was controversial, it was like,

Oh, this is so it's going to follow that movie into the rest. And for that to be what happened at the end of that year to like, yeah, literally everything sucks. Like we can't do anything right we can't even open a fucking envelope no like literally everything is so stupid like the after trump for that to happen i was like this is so annoying yeah yeah oh my god jimmy kimmmel's hosting again I I liked him as a host I I like him um because I think he gave the best correspondence dinner whatever I'm getting too like like far out he

was funny as the host White House Correspondence Dinner he did it you think so I thought the best not maybe not the best him Cecily was great um oh Samantha we asked Samantha too but like Samantha like with her own how could you dare say in front of Mitra that Samantha Bee wasn't the best one? I loved hers, but in terms of legit correspondence sinners, I think Colbert. Oh, yeah. Of course, Colbert. I'm talking Obama era. Obama era.

And Seth had a good one too. I love Seth. Seth was just – I love Seth. But Seth was just like, set up, punchline. It was – we can update slash – Set up, punchline. It was, we can update slash. Set up, punchline. It was like, okay, cool, all right, all right. But I love someone being mean right to the president's face.

I love that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. And that was the year when Seth really went after Trump. Yes. That was like the day before. It's why Trump hates Seth Meyers to this day, I think. And it was like two days before the Bin Laden raid.

Right. Oh, yeah, you're right. Actually, it was like two days before the Bin Laden raid right oh yeah you're right actually it was like happening while they were 2011 there yeah yeah yeah that was insane

to bring it back to 9-11 Colbert just had Colbert circling back gotta bring it back to 9-11 always when it wasn't brought up I don't think so honey

9-11 actually rule number 10 of culture you gotta bring it back to 9-11 even when it wasn't brought up even when it wasn up um uh but wait colbert had such a good joke the other day where he was like um of course matt lauer busted for um he like read the uh statement from nbc news it was like we fired him for inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace

and colbert was like as opposed to appropriate sexual conduct in the workplace there's appropriate sexual conduct in the workplace how would you treat me right now right now because this is our workplace very much so how would you treat me appropriately and sexually right now I would say Matt

you look great in that shirt and I would turn to HPJ and I would shake my head and as soon as you can say snap. As soon as you can say the word snap. We would have. As soon as you can say the word snap. It would be Last Culture Recess with Mitra, Juhari, and Matt Rogers. Fine.

Which we would hate. No. And we would love it. And this podcast would be Swords to New Heights. And guess what? There would be no sexual conduct. I think it love it. And this podcast would be swords to new heights. And guess what? There would be no sexual conduct. I think it's true. But no, this is appropriate.

I can't believe us calling Joe hot producer Joe is appropriate. He has the power in this room. He does. He really does have the power. And he wouldn't let it go on unless he didn't want to. I do not condone any of this. What would appropriate sexual conduct be for you? What would you do to us appropriately, sexually?

Sit right here. You know what? This is why we're trash and Mitra is king. And we're going to think on that for a couple minutes. We're going to take a quick break. And when we get back, let me tell you something. We're going to keep talking. Okay.

Oh, cool. And that'll be great. That'll be really fun. Spoiler alert, more words. Spoiler alert, more of the same bullshit. With Mitra Juhari right after this. Sorry. We're back giggling and giggling with Mitra.

And the giggles don't stop. And Bowen, you described this as our giggliest episode yet. I think so. If you look back, we haven't giggled this much. I don't think we've giggled this much. And I'm glad. What makes you giggle? Not everything.

A lot of stuff makes me not giggle. Yeah, sometimes you have to fold your arms and shake your head Fold your arms shake your head and say Not for me I mean What's the funniest comedy you have seen You know my favorite thing that I think That I watch every couple of years

That always makes me happy when I watch it Two things One is like a sort of nostalgia It just makes me feel good which is it. Two things. One is a sort of nostalgia like it just makes me feel good, which is MASH, because I grew up watching it. Oh, wow. Alan Alta. I love Alan Alta. I really, I'm like a diehard MASH fan.

But that one, it's like I have re-watched, I mean, I watch it often because it's just like a comfort thing, but there are really beautiful, great, well done episodes. I mean, it's a great show. Of course. But the one that I watch every couple of years just because I want to reset and forget the jokes is Garth Marenghi's Dark Place.

Have you ever seen it? No. I don't know what that is. Oh, my God. I mean, the premise takes like approximately 45 minutes to explain. But basically they let like I think it was like Oxford or Cambridge or something like that. These guys from one of those, like, British schools that has a great comedy group. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe like Cambridge Footlight. I don't remember. They did a show on either Channel 4 or BBC. I can't remember. It's only six episodes. And the premise is, okay, so the main character is Garth Marenghi Garth Marenghi is like a science fiction author whose book was then adapted into a tv show called Garth Marenghi's Dark Place and then the actual television show Garth Marenghi's Dark Place that I like we the humans watch um is sort of like a

collector edition so you see all the commentary um from like Garth Marenghi and his like other the other actors in the show and stuff as you're watching old episodes. That's brilliant. That is really funny. It's so layered, but like it makes perfect sense when you see it. It's just really hard to explain, but it's like purposely really poorly done. Like one of the characters in the show is played by Richard Aody. He's Garth Marenghi's agent or something like that.

I'm actually going to rewatch it in the next couple of weeks. I haven't seen it in a while. But he's like, yeah, Garth Marenghi's agent or something like that. I'm actually going to rewatch it in the next couple of weeks. I haven't seen it in a while. But he's like, yeah, Garth Marenghi's agent. And he also has a part on the show, like the adaptation show that we're. It's hard to explain. I love it. But he's like a bad actor who just always looks into camera while he's delivering his lines. And, yeah, it's so uh over the top and cheesy

and they they do the whole thing of like making a bad like a bad thing right in a way that is fun because i i normally don't like it when people are like oh like look how bad the prop is but this show is like all that and there's so many layers to it like because because what i love about it is garth merengue the character, he thinks he's making something good. My favorite thing to watch is someone really dumb or really inept thinking that they're amazing at something and really earnestly trying. And this show does that really well. Every episode begins with him walking down a staircase and being like, now this episode. Oh, that's funny.

Introducing the episode. It's also self-aggrandizing. He really thinks he's like the voice of a generation and made something really beautiful. And then you watch clips of the show and it's so bad. Yeah. So it's kind of like this like consciously bad like Tales from the Crypt type thing.

Yes, yeah. Which is hard to do. Like it's hard to do well. It's hard to make something bad in a good sort of editorial layer on it. That brings up, so Bowen and I, we might go to the movies tonight. We think we're going to go see Lady Bird

because I haven't seen it yet. Bowen's going to go with me. I kind of wanted to go see The Disaster Artist. Are you going to go see that? I do think I'm going to go see it. Because it sounds like what you like, which is a film about someone confidently making something bad.

My only thing with that is I can't tell if that movie is mean-spirited or not. And that I have trouble watching. I would rather watch a totally fictional person who's bad at something than someone especially just someone who is

as successful as james franco it seems like he's making it out of love and like a gen a genuine affection for the movie but it's still like you're like hot james franco right making a movie about someone who made a bad movie and like i don't know i it feels weird to me see well there's the thing is it's like if there was going to be a movie about it, someone would have to play Tommy Wiseau the way he really acts. And that is like the way he acts. So it's like it feels like it's being done accurately. But yeah, the question of like, is it punching down?

Yeah. Because this could be this person's like intellectual and creative and like peak. But it does, from what I've heard about it, it does seem like Tommy Wiseau likes the movie. Yeah, and, like, he came to events. But, yeah, I don't know. The whole thing feels a little weird, but I think I'll probably still watch it. That's the thing, though, is that that whole movie, like, the room is, that whole thing is, like, people en masse punching down. Like, I went to a screening over thanksgiving right right right it was fun but like parts of it were just

like people just screaming like offhand things like this sucks she looks fucking ugly yeah yeah you know what was nice people would like shut it down i mean people like boo stop it like anything that was just like about people's appearances yeah people. Yeah. People, like, as an audience, they were like, that's not okay. Because you're always going to have those assholes. Whenever it's like, we're tearing everything about this movie apart. It's bad.

You are going to have those people that, like, don't get it. Like, I still found the screening experience enjoyable just because it's, like... It's such a cult thing. It's such a cult thing. And, like, the spoon throwing is fun. And, like, there were new things.

I hadn't been to one in like since college. Like this one, like there were just a bunch of new things that people would do. Like anytime. What do they do? So this is a new thing that I had never seen done before, which I thought was so funny. It's like a Rocky Horror type thing. It's a Rocky Horror type thing. So anytime there's a shot of like San Francisco with like the bay, people would be like, usually what people do is they go,

where are we, where does this movie take place? But then this new thing, and it was mostly these two girls who sat in the back, and they just kept going, they just kept shouting, water, like anytime there's water. And so this also applied to when a character would take a glass of water and start drinking it, people would be like, like water which I thought was

that was so funny like that's like that's the kind of thing where I feel like it's that's just purely cult it's not punching down no no it's just fun and I and I that's my issue with it you know what yeah Maitre sort of put her finger like put just got that exactly right like she really got

it right she got it right well because that's I was telling Matt I don't want to see it like i have no desire to see it and i think part and i chalked it up to like it just being james franco and i'm like i don't really carry their weight for him but like i think that's what it is it's like yeah like this is this is this this might be an opportunity where you either like really like honor what like tommy was always doing at the time or you just sort of like make fun of him even more even after the movie's been made fun of for like over a decade right yeah so here's a question James Franco would you though yeah 100% yeah I would I feel like I feel like we've all grown out of sleeping with shitty dudes, though.

Right? Not me. Okay. But good for you. Aw, that's awesome. That's really awesome, Bowen. I'm only like a month and a half into therapy, so I'm not there yet. No, you're right. I mean, I have no reason to be picky.

I've only ever had sex with great guys. I can't fuck a guy if he isn't amazing. And really disrespectful and nice. Yeah, I'm a piece of shit. I only fuck doctors. I only fuck doctors, lawyers, humanitarians. And anyone...

Before I fuck a guy, I'm like, wait, do you give to charity? In case they can look me in the eye and show me receipts. They're not getting this. Asshole. You know what? I will say yes because when James, remember

like freshman and sophomore year, this is like a shitty NYU story. Yeah, and Mitra famously has targeted NYU. I can't get it out of my system. It's so fun to make shit on NYU. I called, oh, I had a joke in a set recently where I said, I went to school at this, whatever, I'm butchering it, my own joke, like at this amazing real estate firm, NYU, which I think is like solid.

No, James would always stop and take a picture with you. I never asked him for a picture. Oh my God, I can't, I wouldn't dream of it. But so many people would be like, I got a fucking photo with james franco today but like he seems like cool with it he like would stop and like not be an asshole and like take pictures so he seems like a decent dude i was definitely way more into it in like high school and stuff yeah sure yeah but i i still would right right sometimes i don't know if i prefer him like in a sexual way,

like a little bit fucked up and dirty, or like a clean, young James Franco. That's a good sign, though, is that you can take him either way. Probably is a good sign. That's how you know it's real. That's how you know. That's how you know it's real. um who yeah um let me tell you who couldn't be less sexually appealing

is Seth Rogen and it's amazing the like chicks that like the cinema the cinematic world would have you believe would just like fuck him like the takeaway from like Knocked Up

can be whatever it is but the fact of the matter is like that Katherine Heigl would ever fuck this guy is crazy to me and then not even after the mistake of fucking him would be like actually I'm gonna try to like marry him cause it's what's best

like no I forgot who it was oh okay I mean like actually, I'm going to try to marry him because it's what's best. No. I forgot who it was. Oh, okay. She deserved an Oscar for that movie. This was back when Between Two Ferns was for a second TV show. And Zach Galifianakis does an interview with Tina Fey and he's being a piece of shit. And then finally she goes,

and then he's like, so Tina, are women funny? And then she loses her patience and then she goes you know what if you were a woman with your body shape the best role you would get in a movie is Kevin James

would pick your character up for a date and open the door and see you and throw up and that would be the kind of role you would get to play. Which I think is so funny. Wow, Kevin James, voice of the generation. Kevin James would see you and throw up.

That's so mean. That's so good, though. Wow. That's true. God damn so good though That's true God damn it Oh man Hollywood sucks Kevin James

Like that controversy Where they fired his wife That actress that plays his wife And replaced her That's insane With Lily Remini Because we all Like you need more of that

And she died In the show she died Yeah they killed the character off. I can't stop thinking about it. She like off screen got sick. It's so funny. It's so insane. And the way they wrapped it up was like,

oh man, it's been a couple months since she fucking died. But you know what? You just got to keep moving on. Oh my God. Enter Leah Remini. Kevin must be I was just thinking Of something mean

That I did Tell us Tell us how mean you are Well okay So this I was doing this show This is like Truly catty

Whatever Okay anyway I'll say it I was doing this show And I was hosting this show And I hadn't met this girl But she was She was like

I was like What was your credit And she was like I was on Kevin Can Wait And uh And then she was Really mean to me What And was like Talking shit about What I was like, what was your credit? And she was like, I was on Kevin Can Wait. And then she was really mean to me. What? And was talking shit about what I was doing on stage.

So when I intro'd her, I was like, you can see her on the Kevin James vehicle. Kevin Can Wait. You could have been so much meaner. I know, but to me, that was mean. That's great. To be in a Kevin James vehicle is... Truly, and there are so many. So many Kevin James vehicles.

Wait, she was talking shit? I don't even want to get into this, but like... Let me tell you something. A theme of this episode is people be talking shit. I'm over it. I'm over people talking shit. I think it's not good. I've never done it.

Well, I don't know. I have. I have. Yeah, I have.'s not good. I've never done it. Well, I don't know. I have. I have. Yeah, I have. I've done it before. You're different from me. I've talked shit before. I don't feel good about it.

In every other way, we are the same. In that way, we are different. I'm going to post a status on Facebook that's saying, hey, everyone, I have something to announce. I've talked shit before. Thrilled to announce. And I just, I want to apologize. I've shit talked um it's time i came clean it's time i came clean i want to get out ahead of this because i you know that's the next thing people are gonna come for shit talkers

literally this is first they came for the rapist I think Kevin James is... I'm scared. I think we have the power to tear him down. I think... I've heard he's a neoconservative. Of course he is. I mean, every CBS show is Republican. Of course.

Even Mom? Probably. Probably Mom. That's Janney, right? Janney, Ferris. Jamie Presley. Jamie Presley is secretly on that show and also Missy Pyle. All of them. The land

of lost comedic actresses is there. Wow. We just talked about this. Didn't we talk about this with Aparna? Yeah, I'm still reeling from this, but Jamie Presley is fully doing fat suit comedy on Mom, and no one knows. No one knows or is talking about it, but fully there's fat suit comedy going on

just around the corner on a different channel. And no one's doing anything about it. It really is. So I just spent a month in Ohio, and I was in the hospital all day. Not me, but I was there. And we watched a lot of CBS shows because that's like what my grandparents loved. And I couldn't believe, I was like, wow, I just didn't even realize like how Republican it can be.

Like NCIS, all that shit is like, these colors don't run. And every variation of NCS is exactly the same. It's always like a beleaguered older man and then like his island of misfit toys that worship him. Oh my God. It's crazy. And the like incredibly hot, much younger partner that's like turns around and like always their hair is down. Always down. Like you're running and your hair is down. What I love about watching these shows is it's like,

on some of these things, I think I was watching one of the hospital procedurals and there was a literal doctor with her hair down during surgery. Her hair was down like, Stat, I need, I need, not needles. And her hair was down in the body. I need CCs, Give me CCs now. Hurry.

This guy is dying. Like an eyelash fell. Crying her makeup into the body. Honestly, I want a surgeon operating on me with her hair down. Whenever Mariska shows up to like chase someone down and her hair is like in her own face. She's like best friends with Debra Messing. Are they truly best friends? Yes, because I follow Debra online.

Oh my God. Thank God. Okay, there are two things that she has done that I love. One is that she went to Africa and it was crazy. There's this article like white woman goes to Africa

and it's like her dancing. Debra always means well, but she always misses the mark. I know. So I got breakfast with someone this past week and she coincidentally was on the Kelly Ripa show. And who's the other one? Ryan Seacrest. Okay.

The other one. And the other one. Hero, Ryan Seacrest. My dad, Ryan Seacrest. She comes onto the show and she's talking about this like solo trip that she took and she did a kind of therapy where she where she painted a physical horse she painted onto a horse and i cannot stop thinking about it it's exactly what i wanted her to do it's amazing because she is just she's like if you look at her instagram it's like there's a lot going on

with deborah and I love her. I love her, too. But you get the sense. I accept her flaws. I love her. She's very on the nose. Here's what I think about Debra. You get the sense that she is panicked trying to get the gays to always know that she's on their side.

Yes. The second they got off Megyn Kelly's show and she had said that weird thing to the guy like well I think the gay thing's gonna work out. She immediately took to Twitter and was like we should never have done it. We should never have gone. If I could go back in time which I'm working on

we would not have done Megyn Kelly today. Which I'm working on. If there's one secret project that she has it's time travel. So she can be doing Will and Grace again?

Will and Grace 1. Will and Grace 1. Just on a loose a loop. I literally I watched the first few episodes of it and now I've

literally forgotten that it's still on. Yeah. It's still on? Yeah of course it is. It's like a hit show I think. God damn it.

It's NBC's like little toe dip back into just multi-camps. I said before that it was their litmus test for how a Friends reunion would do. I don't think there's going to be a Friends reunion. Like a one episode thing, you don't think? I don't. Well, I'm not going to say no because I know that it will eventually make them all money and I'm sure they'll all do it. I just don't see it coming back in a series way.

Not in a series. I'm just saying like just literally like a 10. Five out of six of them would probably do it though. Right. Like I'm saying like America would just like fucking like orgasm at the same time. Would fucking cream. Cream for friends. You know, I have such ambivalent feelings about that time

period of like sitcoms too though like even with will and grace like the more i think about i'm like i don't really i never really like connected to like these shows i don't know i'm so interesting for thinking what if they came back and they were like, we're rebooting it. And then they were like, and I was like, and they were like, we're bringing back Mad About You. I would fucking freak. We're bringing back friends, but we're letting one person of color join the cast. Can you imagine? They had Aisha Tyler for like a second dating David Schwimmer. That's how it always is.

And that's like on so many shows where it's like, oh, we'll give her a black boyfriend. And then the last two episodes and then you never see them again. Did Seinfeld ever do that? I don't think he ever dated a black woman. No. That's crazy. They did it on Gossip Girl. Right.

Oh, my God. The OC. It was always like some derivative of Marcia Cross on Jerry Seinfeld's show. Wait, speaking of Mariska and Marsha, I will fucking watch so much Law & Order SVU at home. Oh yeah, sure. At my parents, and like,

Marsha's in a great one. What does she do in it? Does she play a lawyer? No, she plays the wife, the fifth wife of an older rich man who, um, and the rich man's children so Marsha's stepchildren go to SVU and they're like, we think her stepmom is

drugging her father into having sex with him so that she can have a child to be part of his will. It's very interesting. And get to it, what happens? And then what happens is they lose the case. You find out it's the youngest daughter. No, you find out that Marsha actually really loves the guy, which is very sweet.

And let me guess. Did she have a monologue that was like, I love my husband. Yes. I would love to be on one of those shows. Me too. So bad. I think you would be amazing. I would give them everything.

I would be a jogger that was just like, oh my God, I just want to find the body. I want to be in the universe. Me too. I think you would be amazing. I would give them everything. I would be a jogger that was just like, oh my god, I just want to find the body. I want to be in the universe. That's all I want. I think you would be good as someone's lawyer that they bring in and they're like and the majority of your lines are like, that might have worked before

but it's not going to work now. Not today. That would be your trope. You would be like the sassiest character in the 30 years of Law and Order. I'll tell you who I would be. Nice try, Benson. I would be the side character who's there the whole time

and like really just kind of like hasn't spoken. And then the last scene is me giving like a very tearful confession on the witness stand. And I win an Emmy for it. And you'd be like a beleaguered student who like killed someone because you wanted to like whatever. Yes, but then I get murdered

as a surprise. In the last two minutes of the episode. Always the last minute. Always the last minute. Oh god, those endings. You get shot by like the kid's dad or whatever. Yes. Just outside the courthouse. When it's like the two lawyers being like well, that was a case. And then you hear catch, catch, catch from outside and they're like and they run out and it's like

no! And then Fates of Black created by Dick Wolf. I fucking love SVU. I think it's so good. I do too. You're problematic. So are you. You guys are both problematic. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. You guys are both problematic. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. The only show I like. No, I think it was good. I think there was a lot of really great episodes on it. I mean, it's bad, but it's fine. It's bad, but it's good. It's an easy watch. All I can watch now is bad TV.

Yes, it's fun to just, wait, there was one episode of something where marcia gay harden was on it and she she had like a long wait i forget which one it was but it was like a law and order something whatever she played like an undercover police officer and the majority of her lines were like you're blowing my cover get out of here here. I would love that. And then they thought she was compromised. That was the whole thing. And then it turns out at the end she is compromised and she blows her own cover by like wildly firing gunshots like in an

alley. And they're like, you have to stop, Marsha Gay. And she's like, ugh, fine, it's out of hand. And it was just so badly written. But then you realize, oh wait, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Like, it's just supposed to be.

It's a fantasy New York. They're filming, like, six a day. Yeah. It's essentially a soap opera. It is. Yeah. Wait. Okay.

So talk about this. You love, you can only watch bad TV. Is this as a response reaction to, like, working on, like, a show? She's a part of so much good TV. That's what I'm saying. Thank you. Maybe it's like, you're like you're just like oh it's like i just want to not have to like look up to something in a way or like aspire to something well it mostly was like i was working on late night political shows for two years so i just got really stressed and sad watching the news every day because so much of it directly affects me and my family.

So it's hard. I was like, oh, I don't want to watch anything that, like, asks anything of me. Like, what I'm watching for work is already so draining. So I just started watching Real Housewives in March. Yes. And I was already, like, prior to that, I did, like, Gossip Girl, Famous in Love. Right. Oh, how's Famous in Love? I mean, it's everything you want it to be.

So Bella Thorne tries out for a cattle call. Her friend convinces her to go to this cattle call for a Twilight-esque franchise. And Bella Thorne gets the part, even though her friend is the actor. Conflict right there. Conflict right there. Well, my favorite line of the series was her friend is like, but i'm the theater major i am and like screams it and then i saw that girl in person and i almost went up to take a picture with her but then i was like i'm making fun of her so i'm not gonna do it but oh but i think you would have been very tactful

and but you would have been like i really loved love that show and love you in that show but yeah okay i get that i get that yeah i was like i, I'm making fun. But I love the show. Freeform. Oh, Freeform, baby. And what else? I mean, any, like, oh, Riverdale, obviously. And then this show called Lost and Found Music Studios, which is my favorite show of all time, I think.

Explain it. I'm not familiar. Not really, but it's, like, the worst show I've ever seen. So I picked it because it had one star on Netflix. I firmly believe that anyone in like our scene or like any adult that you know that watches that show watches because I told them to watch it. If you see people posting about it, I found it. Okay.

Oh my God. So it's a, it takes place in an afterschool program for kids who want to make it into the music industry. It's a spinoff of another Canadian show. So it's just all these like Canadian tweens acting as hard as they possibly can.

Oh, you have to act hard. It's amazing. So, I mean, it's just like the main character's named Luke and Leia. They never talk about it. No.

Yes. Stop. It's crazy. They never discuss that? They never bring it up. The teacher's name is Mr. T and they never talk about that, except for one of the characters at one point,

very sincerely, is trying to get him to give a girl another audition, and he's like, I pity the fool who doesn't give her another chance. And it was like... I'm sorry, you have to comment on that. It was insane. Mr. T or...

What if in the second to last episode of the whole series, they're like, oh my God, do you know what I just realized? You guys are Luke and Leia. and then they all blow their brains out and then there's um one episode where a little girl um says that she wrote the song freebird and like she sings freebird at the beginning of the episode and everyone's like oh my god clara like great song and then she's like thank you so much i wrote it and they're like your songwriting skills are really improving so no one at this school has heard freebird before then they're in a cafe later in the episode and they hear freebird and they're like wait clara isn't this

your song and she's like what you can't get mad at me for saying that i wrote freebird even though i didn't write freebird and that's the whole plot of the episode this is insane it's crazy and then they all like sort of cycle through all the same costumes over and over again. And the testimonials, I'm pretty sure they have them improvised. There are two full, you know how like auditions are like a montage on most shows like this? There are two full episodes of auditions on the show. Unedited. Where they sing, they have like a song for each episode. And then they, about every auditioner has to sing.

So you hear four kids in each audition episode sing the song all the way through. And what is it called again? Lost and Found Music Studio. It's on Freeform? No, no, it's on Netflix. It's a Netflix original. I picked it because it had one star at the time. It's incredible. I mean, it's really, really. So you were like, this looks bad. Let's do this. Well, because anytime I don't I don't I don't know how like I I'll just I'm like browsing Netflix and I see a teen show that has a low rating i'm like let's go or a teen movie i watched a movie called uh picture this with ashley tisdale which is from like 2010 or something but

the plot centers around her getting a camera phone in 2010 something like. There was like a Lost-esque drama, like an action-adventure drama that was on Netflix I tried to watch. It was called like The 300 or The 200. The 3%? No, I don't know about the 3%. This, let me explain what the show was. It was,

humanity does not exist on the earth anymore because there was... I know what you're talking about. I didn't watch it, but I understand. There was like nuclear attack or something or like the atmosphere they believe is not and not habitable anymore so they all live on a spaceship above the earth and there's this group of like teenagers called like the 300 and they have like criminal records or something or something weird and they decide that the way they're going to find out if they can go beyond earth again

is they're going to send these teens down there to find out if it's still habitable or something. And it's like, so it's so awful. Um, but they basically send them down there and it is habitable. And so it kind of becomes like a lost ask type show, but let me tell you,

it was literally so bad. So maybe that's something for you to look into as well i'll definitely like honestly i watched the first episode and i was like this is heinous it's like it has one of those characters who's like the bitchy girl she's like i'm going in the water and like takes off takes off all her clothes it was like very much like a katherine cohen character yes yes well fucking you guys can stay over there on the land. I'm going in the water. I'm going in the water. And they're like, Karina, no!

Or like, whatever her name is. And the one like, girl who's like, You have to be Karina. The girl who's like the lead of the show was like,

I don't think she should go in there. And they were like, stop being such a bitch, Marissa. Like, and she's like, the water's good!

And of course, she gets attacked immediately by like a huge snake. Yeah, you can't be beautiful. You can't be beautiful without being attacked. Honestly, she looked so dead. The thing was ripping her apart. But then she washed up on shore.

She was like, I'm a little hurt. And she was fine. What? I don't know. Let me tell you. The thing bit her and dragged her around this infested lake. And she was like, ah! It was like the first scene of Jaws.

Or it's like that part in Jurassic World. Yes. Oh, that scene. Yeah, yeah. Well, she very much died. Yeah, for sure. The character of Zara. Which her name was literally Zara.

Who was also like, I'm a bitch. I'm on my phone. Yeah. I'm an English woman who's on my phone and doesn't like children. So you know I'm going to get it very badly. And then she gets literally ripped apart by pteranodons, thrown in the air. She gets plunged underwater, still dragged about by pterodactyls. And then the big, huge sea monster jumps up in the air and chomps her and a pterodactyl in one bite.

And it is fucking crazy. Sudi and I saw it high i turned to studio i'm like wow that was too much yeah that was fucking crazy because the rule is supposed to be that like in every one of those movies you have to have one character die like a gruesome death but usually it's the character that like deserves it you know what I mean like it's like you you really show a character being hard and she was like she was like thin

and a brunette and wore like a nice white suit and like was texting like well it's actually really cool commentary about like the way we engage with our

phones so don't be on your phone and like don't be have like a posh English accent and also don't have a name that starts with Z also don't be on your phone and like, don't be, have like a posh English accent. And also don't have a name that starts with Z. Also don't hate kids. Oh yeah.

She was Bryce Dallas Howard's assistant. Oh my God. She was like, and it was just very funny. Also that movie will hold up. No, I will say it will because Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Kelly had such a good tweet right after it came out

where he was like, I get Jurassic World and Jurassic Park confused. Which one has Laura Dern and which one has Bryce Dallas Howard outrunning a T-Rex in a nude heel? It's really good. I lived for that. You have to wear a nude heel.

Honestly, she never took the heels off the whole time. That's crazy. And there were dinosaurs following them. That's amazing. That's feminist. That is feminist. That is. Also, I'm sorry, her haircut is so iconic.

It's really good. That, like, red bob. Wow, I, like, have not seen this movie. You have to. Oh, my God. Speaking of shitty things, you have to see it. Oh, my God, you have to see Jurassic World. It's not punching down because it's a fucking multi-billion dollar franchise.

I thought it was legit good. I thought it sucked. I mean, it sucked, but also, you know what sucks? Jurassic Park. Oh, I love Jurassic Park. I haven't seen that either. Yeah, but like, it sucks. Sure, but it's fun.

Actually, you know what? Maybe it doesn't suck. I will say this. Do you like Jurassic Park? I've never seen that. You've never seen that? I haven't seen like anything. Would you say that's the biggest movie that you haven't seen no there's

definitely bigger ones what you haven't seen Titanic I have seen that it was the first pg-13 movie that I saw and my parents made me wait till I was 13 and then they let my younger brother and sister watch it with me and I was so pissed I'll never get over it my parents let me go see it when I when I was seven when it came out because they thought it was culturally important because it was a huge movement. And I became obsessed with the actual Titanic in second grade. I would do projects on it and stuff. They just covered my eyes during the boobie scene. The titties, yeah.

The titties scene. And the sexy scene. Right. I had my eyes covered for that too. Mitra, hard left. Can you talk about Miracle Workers at all? Is it too early? The tits. Yeah. The tits. And the sexy scene. Right. I had my eyes covered for that too. Mitra. Hard left. Can you talk about Miracle Workers at all?

Is it too early? I can talk about like the premise. I honestly don't know what I'm allowed to talk about. Well I just. I love the premise. And like I don't think like. I mean. I think it'll be like a great big show. What is the premise?

Let's have Mitra explain. Because I think it's great. The premise is basically. Heaven is a company. And God is the CEO. And he's sort of this like out to lunch trust fund kid. And he decides he doesn't want to keep heaven open anymore when he finds out the people on earth. He doesn't want to keep earth open anymore and heaven too.

Because he finds out people on earth aren't very happy and don't like him very much. So angels from the prayers department make a bet with God that if they can make a miracle happen, he'll keep heaven open. He's like, yeah, sure. Oh, my gosh. That's fun. The miracle is to make two humans who prayed to be with each other kiss. So it's, like, very sweet and, like, wacky and fun. It's a really – I had such a good time.

And it's based on a book, so I think, like, I'm not, like, ruining anything. Right, sure. I think that's so fun. Like, I heard that, and I was just like, that – I would watch. Right. Sure. I think that's so fun. Like I heard that and I was just like that. I would watch that show. Oh, I can't wait. And it's, you know, it's an anthology. It's seven episodes.

It's like it's really sweet and like contained and just it's fun. We did table reads a few weeks ago and it was like very cool to hear the story. Who's in it? It's the stars right now are Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi. And then this girl, Geraldine. I forget what her last name is. It starts with a V. And then Karen Soni.

This guy, John Bass. And I forget the other main girl. But there's a lot of like really fun people. That's so fun it's really fun oh and oh actually I don't know

if she's confirmed nevermind well there might be someone she's not confirmed yet well it's exciting she's it's one of my

good friends oh great we'll find out off camera and guess what last culture you won't anyway

that sounds like such a good show Oh I cannot wait Yeah I cannot wait For Miracle Workers When is it debuting I don't know yet

It starts filming This coming week Wow Okay You're gonna be on set You're gonna sit and watch I am going I'm filming a little part

Oh Oh wow Yeah You're gonna have a chair And everything So fun Have the chair Have the chair Absolutely Alright so it might So fun. It's about the chair. So fun.

Have the chair. Absolutely. All right. So it might be time. Okay. It might be the time to do I Don't Think So, Honey. Now, you might be familiar with I Don't Think So, Honey because we do it every episode. We've also had several live shows called I Don't Think So, Honey live.

Thank you guys if you came out to them. And yes, so this is where we take one minute to rail against culture. And Bowen is going to go first because I consistently go first and I'm just fucking tired of it. Okay. Drama. What you saw right there was true drama, Mitra. Okay, great.

I don't think so, honey, with Bowen Yang and his time starts now. I don't think so, honey, M&M's. My co-host Matt Rogers brings M&M's to the fucking recordings every week and I don't know why because they just make&M's. My co-host Matt Rogers brings M&M's to the fucking recordings every week and I don't know why because they just make a mess. He's about to throw them at me. No, never mind. He's just gonna put them in his mouth. He's eating them right now. But look, he's chewing them. That's

the most disgusting, ungodly sound I've ever heard. I don't think so, honey. You making me just nibble at them and then I have coloring on my fingers and I have to lick it off like a fucking five-year-old. Why would you make me do this? I feel debased. I feel so childish.

And I don't think so honey. I don't know why you would keep bringing these disgusting treats. They're not healthy. They're not good for you. I don't think so honey M&M's. I can't even fill up a whole fucking minute talking about this. I'm just very mad that you would bring this and it actually ends up sabotaging my cadence because I'm trying to like. I'm just very mad that you would bring this, and it actually ends up sabotaging my cadence.

15 seconds. Because I'm trying to hold up conversation, but meanwhile I'm reaching over and eating this, and it's not, it makes me a worse host, and you are trying to sabotage me. That's my minute. It's very transparent. Okay, that was the worst one you've ever done.

Because if you don't want these M&Ms, by all means have some of the pretzels that I also bought. Or these Pepperidge Farm oatmeal raisin cookies, which I got because I know that you like oatmeal raisin just like me. And I go out of my way to provide a variety of snacks. And for you to act like I forced you to do anything, bitch. We're not going to eat the snacks while we're recording. I don't know why you bring food to the recording. Because it is a nice thing to do. No, it's...

And HPJ just nodded his head in agreement behind you. So guess what, honey? I don't think so. I don't think so, honey. They just interrupt my sort of my flow. Okay. Okay. Don't you dare touch them again

if I ever bring them. And I will. And I will continue to put them out on the table and sort them by color, which I do. And if I see you touch them, honey, you're going to be truly sorry.

Okay. There's no practical purpose for them. Enjoyment. This is Matt Rodgers. Can you believe this? What is your take on his take? My take is, sorry to be divisive, but it's a nice thing to do. And you were eating them.

Which I resent. I should not have been eating them. Okay, get some self-control. Sounds like I don't think so, honey, behavior. Yeah. Fine. That's fair. I think that you were a real therapy six times so i can kind of pass judgment like yeah yeah yeah you know what this is this is historic i'm rescinding well take it all back this is historic in with a bang bang, out with a whimper. I will say this.

100% I really respect that you pretended like you prepared an I Don't Think So Honey this week. Good. Oh my God. Because you 100% didn't prepare that, which I am on record over the last several episodes by saying, Bowen Yang never prepares his I Don't Think So Honey's beforehand. And he tried to very slyly do this I don't think so honey Matt Rogers brings M&M's just now And it was

That felt like prepared and forced to you Well you literally called out That you couldn't get through a minute No I'm saying it didn't feel prepared at all Okay You were very cleverly trying to You know make it seem like you had prepared something No I wasn't

Okay we don't have to We don't have to talk about this Wow you just spiraled Okay this is Matt Rogers' I don't think so honey His don't have to talk about that. Wow, you just spiraled. Okay, this is Matt Rodgers' I Don't Think So Honey, His Time Starts. You better be good. I will be. Matt Rodgers' I Don't Think So Honey, His Time Starts now.

I don't think so honey, the phrase Seacrest out. How come we just let that happen? First of all, bitch, no. I don't think so honey, Seacrest out. It had nothing to do with the show. It was very transparently Ryan Seacrest stomping his stupid little feet in a meeting one day saying i need a sign off i need a sign off and everyone in the

fucking room fucking throwing their hands up in the airbnb like we don't know what to say like come up with something he said fine i will said seacrest out probably people laughed because it was so stupid and he thought huh good yeah good and kept saying it for like 30 seconds several seasons to the point where it became like an institutional part of American Idol. And it was Seacrest out, which, by the way, the irony of that is fucking crazy. Seacrest out. I don't think so, honey.

Also, you should literally take note of the amazing other sign-offs, like Tina Fey's wonderful weekend update, Good Night and Have a Pleasant Tomorrow. Jane Curtin. Was that Jane Curtin? Well, originally, yeah. Okay. Five seconds.

I don't think so, honey. Seacrest out. And you know what I say at the end of this? Rogers out. Just kidding. I would never say that. And that's one minute. Wow.

Couldn't even wait seven seconds to say Jane Curtin. I had to correct because you were spreading false heads. I don't think Jane Curtin came up with that. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow. I think she did create the phrase good night. Of course, it's rule number 86 of culture. Jane Curtin created the phrase good night. No, that was the original weekend update sign off was good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

I don't think it was. Yes, it was. I think I would like to challenge you. Okay, well, culturistas, listeners't think it was. Yes it was. I think I would like to challenge you. Okay well culturistas, listeners, look it up. It's real. Do you know this?

The answer to this? No. I'm really not like I didn't like grow up on SNL at all. You're not an SNL lover. No I like it. I definitely watch it

more now than ever like having friends who work on the show. But prior to that I was like alright. Not for me. No it just wasn't for you.

You were a Mad TV queen. I actually did like Mad TV more. This is the thing. Some Mad TV is really good. Some Mad TV is really good. And more people are coming out of the closet about Mad TV. Mad TV. It's the next movement.

People coming out and saying they love Mad TV. The three of us love it. Patty loves it. Everyone secretly loves Mad TV. What did we just watch? The Huntresses? Yeah, Prehistoric Glamazon Huntresses AD. Which is another thing.

Prehistoric Glamazon Huntresses AD. Which is another thing that is, like, that is really good at being bad on purpose. It's really good at being, like, shit. There's a scene where they're, like, running through the forest, and it's just them running from the side of the set to the side of the set, and the cuts are horrible. And Debra Wilson is so funny in it. When they run from like across the set and like

but the best part is they go to one corner and then they just huddle and like very turn to face each other and then they'll run again. It's so good. Watch that.

Everyone go online and watch Prehistoric Huntresses and the way that Debra Wilson delivers lines in it is so funny. She just screams them and screams them. It's so good. Okay, Mitra, are you ready? Bone, I'm gonna do

the one that I didn't do for the culture because it was too dark. Well, I love that. I love that you bring the darkness. I think it's really funny, though. It's really good. Okay, this is Mitra Juhari's I Don't Think So, Honey. Her time starts now. I Don't Think So, Honey, My Grandpa's Funeral.

Okay. So the guy who runs the funeral is this pastor that we didn't even want. He had a horrible toupee. He was eating all the food. And all my family is like, whatever. And some of them I don't even know. But I knew that this guy couldn't possibly be a relative. He went on stage and he read the fucking footprint story,

as in like two footprints on the sand, which is a magnet. He just read it as though it was something that actually applied to the story. And then he pronounced every single person's name wrong. My name is Mitra Nadia Nari. He pronounced it Mitra Nadja and Araya. And then he left the service early. It didn't even come with us to the mausoleum. So we just like did it on our own.

And then this was not his fault, but I will attribute it to him. Somebody picked the song, And I Will Always Love You to play by Whitney Houston. And that was the song that played as the people left the pews and hugged everybody goodbye. So we're just listening to the song. And now every time I hear that song, I think about my grandpa's funeral. I don't think so, honey. The people who did his makeup, he was cooler than that.

I don't think so, honey. The bad snacks in the funeral home in the bad conversation i don't think so honey my grandpa's funeral that was great that was really really good oh my god that's so when you told me that story i was like that is tragic but also it was crazy but it was also like very funny because like my grandpa's super super funny and he would have like just lost it yes it was It was crazy. He didn't even try to say my dad's name. My dad's name is Maron and he was like, run.

And of course, and you know, run. And murder. Murder. Mitra, Nadja, Araya. Everyone in the room was like, Mitra, Nadja, Araya. Because he's like a, yeah, he's like Southern Baptist pastor or whatever.

Mitra, Naja, Naraia. And we're all like, whoa. And you know, afterwards to his wife, he was like, the names were insane. They're not real names. I thought I did great. And you know the song we did at the end was that Toni Braxton song. The Toni Morrison. Toni Morrison song. A beautiful Morrison. Tony Morrison song. Beautiful song.

She was a wonderful singer. I told. She needs to put out a new record. I told the footstep story, footprint story. Oh, yeah, you know that one. Because I saw the magnet on the fridge. Yeah. It was truly crazy. That is the worst story.

I mean, we were just all looking at each other like i can't believe just tell any other story tell any other there's so many things in the bible about death and just that story like still doesn't make sense to me also not for nothing but if you don't have the right thing to say like if that story is not going to make sense and you can't make it make sense and if you don't have the right thing to say just say less say less i had i had a family friend that passed away very young and the pastor got up and i guess felt the need to try to say something about when a person dies very young and he was like you know you have to think this was what was and he was trying to kind of say like trying to kind of say, like, God has a plan, things like that. And some people do take solace in that.

But he kind of, like, got so, like, tripping over his words, and I think maybe nervous as he was saying it, that he ended up saying something that was like, we should all just, like, you know, take care of things sooner. And, like, you know, because the person got sick. It was just so far away. It was like watching someone, like, trip over a rock and then trip over another rock and then another rock

and then a waterfall. But it is like, it is like, it is, like, grief is so funny. Like, and, like, my, the week of the funeral was like so crazy because i had to i like had to come back to new york and then to go back to louisville for the funeral and i um on the way to my flight i got in a car accident and then started my period and you know what god has a plan for that yeah God has a plan. That was God. That was God. That was God in your vagina. In my uterus. It was so tight.
