Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang

I read The Artist's Way and like, in that book the author tells you to really think about the people who've traumatized you creatively and I was like first one, first person I thought of Miss Wood.

I think that Get Out should win best screenplay but there's a scene towards the end where he is packing up spoiler alert for Get Out.

He's packing up to leave they're panicking and he's like we got to go now and he finds the door of the closet open and he somehow walks over there and goes through a box and sees all the pictures of her with like her black boyfriends and the girlfriend.

I was like what made him just walk over there and go see that you know what I mean like there's things like little things like that in the script where it should have been you could also say that that's a poor direction choice.

It's like a fucking like I don't I don't want to mess with her but it's like a no no no it's like it's like a Get Out thing it's oh I just saw Get Out you need to see Get Out.

Wow that's sort of connecting back to Get Out, that's fun.

Have you guys read that Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers?

Have you guys read that Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers?

The literature we read was like Left Behind.

But also an Aaron shares this too. I also but in that period before like the contemporary Christian phase, all of those left behind books.

Mary Trump came on to promote her new book and Megan McCain sat out the interview and Mary Trump called her out on there for being a coward and not wanted to do the interview With her so there was drama today even in Megan McCain's last week

So there was a book around the house. It was Mary L Trump's book.

So this is the niece of Trump and it's her book which is Too Much and Never Enough.

The man had a psychopath father. So basically the guy had no capacity for human empathy, etc so Donald never learned that and so what we're dealing with now is someone who learned how to be a quote-unquote killer in business from his father.

One of the things that Mary says is that it's wild and sort of dissociative and unsettling how we're all sort of Catering to one man's identity catering to one man's identity and whims and all this stuff and it's like, oh, yeah.

Mary also turns out that she is in favor of Social Security and so that's like an actual literal like social program.

First edition of The Iliad.

And the gift is a first edition copy of The Iliad.

It's a first edition?

Oh, you didn't have to do that. You should have done that. My God.

It was just like a published book. It was like a Penguin edition.

One of the best memoirs I think ever written is called 'The Liar's Club' by Mary Carr.

One of the best memoirs I think ever written is called 'The Liars' Club' by Mary Carr.

It feels like a Laura Duren movie. Like 'Wild at Heart'. Wow. Like it's just like, it's beautiful.

And it actually I think, you know, sent this kind of rebirth or this renaissance and memoir writing in this country like 10 years ago.

...I'm going to the they're screening the finale here in New York.

...and I am my what gets me going is just like actresses acting.

...and I'm loving it and I really it was very hard but I'm fucking living for Saranda in this.

...she's perfectly suited to it. Me too.

...it's just like drenched in like authentic like set design.

So I'm in True heaven right now.

It's it's why I wake up in the morning, right?

I think just Emma and Pride and Prege and Sense and Sense of Belle.

Otto Kroek tried to change it to sensibility and I said, no, it's Sense of Belle.

I think just Emma and Pride and Prege and Sense and Sense of Belle.

I read all 64 Nancy Drew books at the San Juan Public Library.

I read all 64 Nancy Drew books at the San Juan Public Library.

I wonder what's your personal narrative of being a child star and how you came through that because we don't hear you talk about that too much.

I thank them in the front of our book, one of the, I thank the Spice Girls and my mom.

So there's drama, there's drama over the book, It Ends with Us and not just within its pages.

It's one of those like don't worry, darling situations where it's just like the director and the entire cast and creative team like cannot promote the movie together or whatever the fuck.

And I don't actually know why I've heard like rumors as to why. But it's one of those situations where it's like now bled into the public. And it's that right.

It's like half romantic comedy. And then this dude becomes like very violent and abusive. And so I don't really know how you get that across to people.

but see that this is the thing it's like the behavior effects the work so much yeah so yeah well well that's the summer that's the summer i think we will earnestly start

i don't know if it if the movie like was a success in work because of that like financially and commercially because it was like a huge fucking success right but also i guess the book is that famous because that famous but there are not there they were supposed to be at a sequel in the works and i don't think that sequel is happening anymore because of the drama

He wrote Catcher in the Rye.

Catcher in the Rye is about a boy who's mad annoying. He's very annoying.

It was about a waltz by Strauss. I was like, goodbye.

It was fucking crazy. What was the question? Also it was... What was the spelling of Ebenezer's spirit?

It was like, what is the correct spelling of the protagonist of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens?

They gave four different spellings of Ebenezer and I believe I'm repeating myself with this story on the podcast.

It was one of those things... It's so hard though. It was one of those things where it leaves your mouth and you're like that's wrong but I'm still doing it.

It was E-B-E-N-E-Z-E-R and E-B-E-N-E-E-Z-E-R. I think it's the one-E right?

It's like did you put your individual unique stamp on this and that makes it worthy of really raising up and saying everyone should see this, yeah, and for me like Gabourey in Precious that was like a very special thing, yes.

I mean it announced and she's actually had a good career, yeah she's done lots of great stuff she keeps it going she's been amazing.

It was Gabourey Precious.

My thing is when it comes to Oscars it's like did you give the performance that no one else could give? It's like that's kind of my, it's like did you put your individual unique stamp on this and that makes it worthy of really raising up and saying everyone should see this.

And for me, like Gabourey and Precious that was like a very special thing.

Yeah, because who else would have played Precious?

I mean it announced and she's actually had a good career, yeah, she's done lots of great stuff, she keeps it going, she's been amazing.

books that don't have covers that have Bumps on where the title is the title should have texture on the book cover. Otherwise, I'm not reading it

It has to feel like I have to be able to reach over on my nightstand when it's dark and feel the cover and go Oh, yes, that's my copy of you know Exhalation by Ted Chiang, let's say

but I don't think so many at 30 second by Ted Chiang because look the cover doesn't have the bumpy letters and I need that in order to feel like I'm reading a book

I'm reading this great book right now. Oh my God. I'm reading this book by Ted Chiang. It's called Exhalation, it's short stories.

He's the guy who wrote the short story that Arrival is based on. And so it's just wonderful, like really super like, cerebral, like just in terms of like, they make you think these like sci fi stories.

He has one that's set in like an Arabian Nights, Tale Within a Tale, like setup and it's about time travel and it blew my fucking mind. I'm loving it.

Have you read that book about The View?

It's kind of The Housewives as a talk show in a way.

And I think if you look at especially those early Orange County, it was a real sociological time capsule.

if you read the book The Ladies Who Punch so good like which was great Really fun and it's just so clear that like it really genuinely came down to ego and how much space gets taken up

But I am almost done with *The Virgin Suicides*, which I've never read.

Oh, it's so good. And I've never seen the movie.

You should do that after you finish reading.

You got to read The Virgin Suicides. You got to watch it.

Yeah, I also was a big Little Women girl. That one really, me and my mom would watch it every Christmas.

The new adaptation of Little Women on PBS.

First of all a brunette Lori. I know that's true to the book but somewhere Christian Bale is rolling in his proverbial grave to yell at a lighting assistant.

Second of all a pretty Beth March. Even Claire Danes knew she had to contort her facial expression to serve you scarlet fever.

Also Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawks daughter as Joe Naa.

Someone say double door two Samantha Morton and Dame Judy Dench from this atrocity ASAP and give us the season three of Cranford we all deserve.
