There are so many iconic figures in pop culture that it can be hard to recall their most legendary, talked about moments, but it's not impossible.

iHeartRadio podcast Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang serves the tea piping hot, and takes a deep-dive into pop culture's finest week after week.

Per the podcast summary:

"Join your culture consultants, Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, on an unforgettable journey into the beating heart of CULTURE. Alongside sizzling special guests, they GET INTO the hottest pop-culture moments of the day and the formative cultural experiences that turned them into Culturistas."

In the latest episode "The Iconic 400 Part III" (in celebration of the podcast's 400th episode) culture consultants Rogers and Yang continue to list the 400 most iconic figures in pop culture, shining a bright spotlight on the "true cultural movers and shakers" who've really commanded the scene. Getting right into it, the episode starts with number 40, none other than gemini vegetarian Elle Woods (specifically her character in the musical)!

"There are so many iterations of Elle. I hope Elle Woods becomes the new Elphaba. Like I want Elle Woods to be the equivalent of The Joker to actors. I want female actresses to give their own takes on Elle Woods and win Oscars. I think Elle Woods should be one of those things like Shakespeare...men and women can do it... anyone."

For a full list of icons who've had the greatest impact on pop culture, listen to the latest episode of Las Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang on iHeartRadio now, and stay tuned for Part 4 for the surprise unveiling of the most iconic figure in pop culture today!
