Shortcomings

What's this? An episode of Shortcomings where we dig deep and are serious just a little bit? But before that, we catch-up on what's going on in TV right now. And then we discuss Hannah's confrontation with famed writer Chuck Palmer. How does this episode re-frame Hannah's own behavior? What is the internet's evolving role in sexual politics? And, of course, that final moment.

Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays - we're back to cover a doozy of an episode, but before that we discuss the new trailer for Melania and Sam's continued journey with those Wives that are Sisters. And then we get into it all - Hannah's success, Desi's descent, Jamba Jeans, and the Skywalker of it all. And in a Shortcomings first, we get somebody on the line...

We have made it to the final season of GIRLS and what can we say...we've been changed For Good, because yes, we spend most of this episode discussing the inner workings of the Wicked sequel. We get into the sex cardigan, the new songs, the performances, and we simply ponder...what is OZ? And then, we try and discuss a fairly strange season premiere - Hannah meets a dreamboat, Ray and Shosh are delights, and Adam and Jessa are freaks. We hope you enjoy this mash-up!

It's a Thanksgiving week miracle - as I realized we never uploaded the season five 5 finale, so you're getting two episodes this week! Please note the political discourse for this episode is rather old!

And wow, what an episode. But before we delve into that - I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some reason my ire is directed towards Jack Schlossberg. And then we get into it all - Shosh's girl boss era, Desi's stan army, the sweet appeal of Ray, the disarray of Adam and Jessa, and the evolution of...

And Just Like That...We're Back! Sam is fresh off her birthday trip to New York and Chris is, once again, recovered from healing. We discuss the power of marathons, All's Fair, and touch down with Naomi and Heath. And then we get into it all: our relatable king Elijah, the beauty of Ray and Shosh, Marnie's dreams, and the real love story...Hannah and Tally. It's so good to be back and let's just say...we're on fire.

It's (not) so hard to say goodbye to yesterday (Fran & Hannah), we have finally reached the end of their relationship and also our patience for Miss Horvath. But before that, we discuss our two favorite shows respectively: Special Forces and The Morning Show (it's called taste, we have it). And then we discuss it all - Shosh's return to Brooklyn, the allure of Old Man Ray, baby Sample, and Hector. Take a listen!

Arguably, this is an incredibly important episode of GIRLS, but do we agree? We try and take it all on - Hannah's boundary pushing, Marnie and Desi's checking-in at Seattle Grace, the emotional triad that is Jessa-Hannah-Adam, and what we would (and wouldn't) do for Dill Harcourt. And through it all, we ponder: is Fran a good dude? Take a listen!

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this...we have made it to perhaps THEE episode of Girls and you're gonna like the way it looks. But before that, we get into our take on Task and somehow discuss Sister Wives. And then we get into it all - Desi's madness, the return of Charlie, and the arrival of Magita Perez. Open your hearts to us, Bella!!

Oh, we are SO back, but is GIRLS? But before that, we get into celebrity Instagram behavior and RHOC. And then we take it all on - Shosh and Yosh, Adam and Jessa, and whatever is going on with Loreen's hair. But the real question is: will anything ever haunt us like an Adam Driver line reading from this episode? Probably not!

Old love is in the air for our Girls, but before that we have a mini-breakdown regarding whatever the hell is going on online. From AI to the goings on of men on the dark web, we're disturbed to say the least - and looking for answers to questions we never asked. And then we get into it all: the dreaminess of Dill Harcourt, the insanity of Marnie's apartment, Hannah's continued descent, and the love story to end all love stories.

Just when we thought we were spending all our time abroad, we find ourselves tethered to Brooklyn. But before Girls, we discuss the way too toxic discourse and Alexia Umansky's wedding has one of us HEATED. Then we get into it all - Shosh is lost in translation, Jessa and Adam are cute, and Hannah is on some sort of tirade.

The Girls are back in the city after Marnie's wedding and things are afoot! But before we get into the episode, we hear about Sam's journey into the Conjuring cinematic universe and breakdown One Direction, because why not. And then we get into it all - is Fran a normal dude or a demonic spirit? What's going on with our Old Man Ray? Why does Adam look so good? And who is Sam's favorite new couple? All will be revealed when you hit play on this episode!

We're back in Brooklyn and it feels so right, but before that we get into a search for Mayhem Ball tickets and QAnon Barbers. But who cares about that when Marnie and Desi are heading down the alter, meanwhile Adam and Jessa have chemistry, Hannah is in her BeyHive era, Shosh has a cute haircut, and Bridget Everett is giving a performance. The Girls Are Back In Town, indeed!

It's so hard to say goodbye, but alas we must. It's the final episode of And Just Like That and (perhaps) the end of the Carrie Bradshaw Cinematic Universe. But before that, of course, we somehow end up talking about Miss Swift. And then we get into it all - sex hijinks with Charlotte and Harry, Miranda's hosting skills lead to the scatalogical, and Carrie remains the ultimate single girl. The ride is over - and it was fabulous.

Thank you all so much for listening and loving - we loved doing it, too!

It's Thanksgiving-eve in Carrie Bradshaw's New York City (somehow) and the girls are preparing to gather. But before then, we get into Sam's jaunt into fantasy and RHOM. And then we get into it all - an underwhelming engagement, whatever is going on with Brady, the emotional centeredness of Charlotte York, and the beauty that is Carrie Bradshaw. Take a listen!

Trigger warning...we're angry as hell, but not about this sublime episode of television. But before we discuss the girls, we discuss the end of the world as we know it: the cancelation of And Just Like That! And then we get into it all - asexual roommates, free hamsters, zoom therapy, mother plants, shampoo girls, and the Duncan Donuts of our dreams! Oh Carrie Bradshaw, we'll love you till the day we die!

We did it, ya'll! We survived Aidan 3.0 and we couldn't feel any lighter, but before that we discuss the Epstein files (sorry); the new film Sorry, Baby (love); and the MCU (sorry...again). And then we get into it all: age gap relationships, smelly boys, our hopes for LTW, Charlotte's vertigo, our continued love of Joy, and Duncan Duncan Duncan. Take a listen!

And Just Like That begins at 56:40

Aidan is in town and even HBOMax knows it's a horror show, but before that we get into the depths of what we don't know (Max Original Programming) and what we do know (Bravo). And then we get into it all - Charlotte's vertigo, LTW's papaya crush, Miranda and Joy's big little step, and whatever the hell Miss Bradshaw is doing. Oh and crystal deodorant.

It hardly seems possible, but it feels like we've turned a corner. The girls gather for Charlotte's birthday and perhaps fun is had! But before that, we discuss Sam's trip to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour. And then we get into it all - Carrie's writing style, Miranda's joyful party style, Charlotte and Harry as couple goals, and all that karaoke. Take a listen!

It may have taken longer than we wanted, but we're finally somewhere and it feels so good. Before we get into the episode, we briefly chat about the NYTIMES Top 100 movies of the 21st Century and Love Island. But then we take it all on - LTW's loss, Charlotte as Pollyanna, Aidan's haunting appearance, and the joy of Joy.

Carrie's back from her horror jaunt to Virginia - and things are afoot in Gramercy Park, but before that we discuss a little Love Island and a recent review. We then get into it all - Seema's small business loan, LTW's dwindling marriage and the role references play within this show, Miranda and Carrie as roomies, and those damn shoes.

Carrie Bradshaw is on ATV and we don't know how to feel about it, but we do know that this episode through us for a loop. But before that, we discuss Call Her Daddy for some reason. And then we get into it all - Ryan Serhant is back, LTW is in Desperate Housewives territory, the show's attempt at taking on aging, Miranda is cat sitting, and that ending!!

And, we're back. But before we get into the episode, we briefly discuss the Tonys and go deep on Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover and stumble into cultural and political discourse. And then we get into it all - Carrie and Seema's jaunt to Virginia, the AJLT mommy-track, and our shining star: Charlotte. It's a lot and perhaps the conversation is too hot to handle, but here we are. Take a listen!

And we're back for episode 2 and the forecast is looking up somewhat, but first we recount a few things currently going on in pop culture: spoiler alert, nothing good! And then we get into the episode: the strange tone of Seema's storytelling, AJLT's visuals, the connective power of reality tv, and Carrie's emojis.

And Just Like That...We're Disgusted, upset, angry, and simply...thrilled! Season 3 is finally here and we break it all down. Carrie's new apartment, M&Ms, dog park hijinks, Marvel directors, and political spouses. Oh My! What's going on in the mind of Michael Patrick King? We may never know! But we are SO back!

This week's bonus episode will dig into Anthony's role on And Just Like That & queer representation in this universe, as well as other things. Join us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

With four seasons under our belt, we take a moment to look backwards and ponder what's to come for us. But of course before that, we discuss more than we should. We start a review of our thoughts about Girls around 42 minute mark.

We're taking a hiatus from Girls, but we'll be back to cover And Just Like That s3 in late May here on the main feed. Girls recaps will begin again once AJLT s3 ends.

We made it to the end of season four and we can only hope that season five is looking up, because we didn't love this episode. So much so, we really barely discuss it. So disclaimer - the Girls talk in this episode is little to none. But, I think we sort of made some points. Either way, we love you deep!

Girls talk begins around 1:07:20

We're back after a brief hiatus and we catch-up briefly on our lives before discussing the penultimate episode of Season Nine. Tad is in town and Hannah is reckoning with boundaries, Jessa is chasing Ace, Marnie's taking center stage, and we're wondering...did we ever really know Ray? We do now! Take a listen!

An episode where we discuss what we're currently watching and re-watching, and then get into an episode of Girls that is remembered fondly, but is out there. Tad comes out, Hannah's a mess, Shosh is a Good Wife girlie, and Desi is buying pedals!

It's another week of Shortcomings and a strange episode of Girls, but before that we get into Megan Markle's new Netflix series, 23 & Me, Summer House, and many other things. And then we breakdown Mimi-Rose Howard's art show, the introduction of Fran, and the Ace of it all. Here we go!

Oh, we are SO back and it's for a great episode of Girls...and hopefully, Shortcomings! But before that, we get into a little discourse about how to handle the moment we find ourselves in and a bit about the power of the Potomac reunion. And then we get into it: Shosh continues to be a model of mid-20s living, Indie Rock discourse, Ray's political awakening, Hannah's journey, and the Mimi-Rose of it all. Take a listen!

We've reached the middle of Season 4 and wow what an episode, but before that we discuss our feelings about the upcoming Summer House (this was recorded before the s9 premiere), one of us is confused by Chickenfry, and we begin to ponder what's to become of Shortcomings when we finish Girls. And then we get into it: Hannah's back and taking up space, Marnie is MIA and then very impactful, Shosh has a fuck ass bob, and Jessa is Jessa. Take a listen, we love you deep!

Oh, we woke up on the wrong side of the bed! The discourse has become toxic and we have to get these Beyoncé-haters and Craig apologists in their place. And then we take on a pretty important episode in Girls transition. Hannah is struggling in Iowa, Marnie and Desi are compartmentalizing, and Shosh is the only adult on this damn show. Take a listen!

We're still in Iowa and not sure how to feel about it, but before we get into we discuss Sam's journey back into Dance Moms and Chris' most recent unhinged dream. Then we get into it all: Adam and Jessa's newfound friendship, Marnie's delusions, Ray as king, and Shosh's interview skills. Take a listen!

Well, it's a fitting episode title as trigger warning: we're going through it as we attempt to record on the day You Know Who is sworn in, but anyway...we discuss Iowa rents, Scandal crossovers, Hannah on a bike, and so much more. Remember us better than this episode plz!

Season four is here officially, so of course we have to discuss the TikTok ban, plans for 2025, BachNation, and so much more. And then, of course, we get into it. Hannah and Adam's dwindling relationship, ass eating, Shosh as queen and Jessa as messy bitch/truth teller. It's all happening and we love you deep!

Oh, you thought we weren't going to finish Girls s3 in 2024? Well, you're wrong! But before that we hear (on mic) Sam learning a lesson, the World Tour (what tour?), and talk of the Catholic Church. And then we get into it all: Shosh's flop era, Marnie's delulu behavior, Jessa's doing it for the plot, and Hannah's version of success.

Girls content begins at 56:47 (sorry!)

It's the penultimate episode of Season Three and we get into it all, but before that we share some tales of woe. And then we take on Jessa's new career, Shosh's struggles, and how much we can't stand Mr. Sackler. Our girl Hannah is down, but this episode of Shortcomings is UP.

It's a Shortcomings first - an episode recorded over 24 hours. For the first half you get to hear a little bit about the episode of Girls and a lot about Gladiator 2. And then we return for a conversation about Jessa, Adam and Hannah's relationship, and the Hawaiian practice that changes lives. Happy Holidays!

We love Grandma Flo - this was recorded pre-Wicked, more thoughts on that one day. Take a listen!

Don't call it a comeback, okay - maybe you can! We're back on our bullshit and discussing Girls again! And oh what an episode, but before that we breakdown a new Hulu series, unfortunate google images, and People's Sexiest Man Alive. And then we get into it all - Desi is here and he's perfect! And so is Patti LuPone. And Elijah. It's a lot, take a listen!

To support Shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

What else is there to say? We're here. Perhaps the finest episode of Girls is now with us, but before that we discuss Sister Wives and an old-school song that should have been a hit. And then we get into all of it: Marnie's controlling ways, the importance of Elijah and Hannah, Pal and Short Gays, and the fight of it all. 

Oh, how we've missed our Girls! We're back to discuss Hannah's return to the workforce, the developing Ray-Marnie relationship, Shosh's attempt to stabilize, and whatever the hell Jessa is up to. But, of course, before that, we chat about the new RHONY and somewhere in there we discuss the state of Marvel and the upcoming Wicked movie. Because, you know, we're us.

This one is for all the only children out there - or is it? We get into how Hannah is playacting at having a sibling, the Ray-Marnie of it all, and how underwhelming Jessa has become. With, of course, some very shocking detours into the herstory of dogs. Because, why not!

Hannah's editor, David, has passed away and it's got the Girls in a tizzy, but before that we chat about the Emmy's. We then breakdown whatever Marnie's workout routine is, the seedlings of Adam and Jessa, and whether Hannah's reaction to death is really that odd at all. Oh, and of course, we take a detour to discuss the failings of education system as only we can.

Don't count us out, because we're BACK (again). We recap a little about our beloved Grace's wedding and give a preview of our chat on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. A bonus episode is coming this weekend, because WOW. And then we get into Hannah's birthday...and hmmm...do we have thoughts? Take Us or Leave Us? We don't care!

We're back from vacation and we couldn't be happier - so, of course, we begin with a conversation about Chimp Crazy (have we seen it? nope), Taylor and Travis, and Challengers. And then we get into episode 2 - Shosh is giving COMEDY, Hannah is back on her BS, and Adam is gonna Adam. It's a lot. Take a listen!

Season 3 is here and we're feeling good - but before we get into that, we discuss the new trailer for RHONY and give our brief (lolz) thoughts on RHONJ. And then, of course, it's time for the episode - we've got Shosh's new mantra, Marnie Marie Michaels is on the couch, Jessa is a terror, and Hannah's living that domestic life.

And it's a wrap on season 2, but before we get into that - we discuss Chris' journey back into the Before Universe and celebrity astrology. And then we get into it all: the sadness hanging over Shosh and Ray, Marnie's girlbossing her way into failure, and Hannah Banana is just not well. Hardly seems possible, but we did it, Joe. S2 is done.

Girls content begins at 40:53

We've finally reached perhaps the episode we've most wanted to discuss and wanted to hide from. But before then, we discuss Sam's political adventure, our feelings about Meghan Markle, and a little Sex and the City rewatch chat. And then we get into it all: we ponder if we've all been a Ray; take on perhaps the greatest musical moment in the history of television; discuss the show's depiction of Hannah's body; and, of course, THAT scene.

Girls content begins at 43:40

It's a special week in the Shortcomings Universe - and we couldn't think of any way better to honor that then to release in almost 2 hour long missive. We start by listing some of your favorite moments from the show (some of them we remember, some of them we don't, most of them we regret). And then we get into an episode for the AGES. We discuss Shosh and Ray's continued struggle to connect, lust over our two favorite boys, differ on Marnie's visage, and we applaud our favorite duo, Lorraine and Tad.

Girls content begins around 46:12<...

Better late than never, we're back to chat about perhaps the most divisive episode in the herstory of GIRLS. Hannah and Jessa go and visit her father and we try and wrap our head and hearts around it all. What's going on with Frank? What's Sam's history with Rosanna Arquette? And what on god's green earth is Salvatore's job? But before that, we touch down on the Kardashians...because why not!

And we're back and we hope you missed us! In an act of respect to you all, we went a lil too long this week and perhaps lost our minds. Before the Girls content begins we get into why nothing is quite hitting, Paige's wedding attire, and a strange new obsession one of us has.

And then we get into another s2 detour - Hannah has a book deal, Marnie is hosting a party, and Adam-Ray go on an adventure. But most importantly, we have guest stars! Take a listen!

We have officially reached THAT episode of Girls and we had a lot to say...but before that, we discuss Taylor discourse and Bridgerton. And then we break it all down. Patrick Wilson as a point of desire, the show's depiction of Hannah's writing, and we simply ask...what does it all mean?

"Grow up." Our Girls this week are giving out advice and taking none of it themselves, but before we get into the episode we talk about the current pop charts and Taylor's continued nuisance. And then we take on Hannah's dinner party, Jessa's unhinged behavior, Marnie's mess, and the Shosh-Ray of it all. Take a listen

Don't call it a comeback, but just a return to form. This week's episode is a normal length, but just as unhinged. We spend some time talking about Tamra Judge and her friendship herstory before getting into the episode. And what an episode...Booth Jonathan's decor, Lena Dunham's performative acting, and the introduction of Laird. It's a wild ride. Take a listen!

Season 2 of girls is in swing and so are we - it's another chaotic episode, but we do try and discuss Hannah and Sandy's demise, Shosh and Ray's ascending, and Marnie's new costume. It's a lot. Take a listen!

We are back for season 2 and it's another crazy episode - we get into it all: Sandy, emojis, Marnie's mom, and the business practices of Apple. Take a listen!

And here we are - the end of s1 of GIRLS. Thank you so much for your support, love, and encouragement. Your reward? An unhinged episode! Watch-out for an extra-long early chat including varied topics: Madonna, the VMAs, Eras Tour, Wicked, Patti LuPone, the Parent Trap, Jesse Lally, and the Great Wars. And then we get into it all - Ray's face placement, Jessa's choice, Marnie and Thad, and Adam Driver's performance.

GIRLS content begins @ 41:44 (SORRY)

It's a very non-classic episode of Girls, but a classic episode of Shortcomings - we breakdown Powell Goldman, Tally, and ask the simple - yet profound - questions, "What's going on with Katherine?" Take a listen!

It's Adam's world and we're just living in it - at least for this week! But before that, we take a strange turn into the world of bazinga, old timey jargon, and some dark sided takes about the world. And then it's time to discuss it all - Thomas John, Adam's play, and shower antics.

Girls content begins 21:40

We're back in New York and even more specifically, Bushwick. The girls are acting up and so are we. Enjoy!

Hannah is heading out of New York City and going home to Michigan and we're not quite sure how we feel about it. Is Eric the finest character we've ever met or a sicko? After a beautiful debut, does this second go-round live up to the first appearances of Tad and Loreen? And, dear god, where is Keri Hilson? Take a listen!

Oh what an episode! For some reason, we spend some time discussing Anne Hathaway and the drop of SATC on Netflix. But then we get into this CLASSIC episode of GIRLS. We get into it all - the role of writer in Hannah's life (and a chat about Carrie), Marnie's visit to Charlie's apartment (or version of an apartment), and whether we see Jessa in San Fran. And, of course, we spend a lot of time on Jeff.

Girls content begins at 22:14

"Don't quit before the miracle." A line from Jessa or a plea from us to all of you to keep listening - this week we discuss a lot and very little, so feel free to skip through the beginning section. We get into the many Matts of the world, Jeff's spiral, and Hannah's iconic colleagues.

GIRLS talk begins at (shockingly) 43:02

He's here and he's (im)perfect - and yes, we mean Booth Jonathan. We're breaking down episode 3 and that means you're getting us sharing our own baggage, question the character of Jeff, ponder Charlie's shorter hair, and simply marvel at Jessa's first day of work look. It's a lot take a listen.

"But what about the stuff that gets up around the sides of condoms?" Hannah is freaking out, Marnie is telling the truth, Jessa is avoiding, and Shosh is dropping her own truth bombs. They are, in fact, the ladies and we get into it all in this discussion of episode 2, Vagina Panic.

Girls content begins around 35:35 after an extended opening conversation.

And just like that...our next adventure is here, we are officially covering the HBO Series Girls (2012-2017). Every. Single. Episode. Today we take on the history of the show, take a little quiz to ground ourselves, and discuss the pilot. Are we the voice of our generation? Probably not. Take a listen!

To support Shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

With no more episodes of the original series and the two movies under our belt, we couldn't help but wonder...what was Miss Bradshaw like in high school? So we took ourselves over to the CW.com and got our eyes on the pilot of The Carrie Diaries. We found Carrie's distraught family, a character named Mouse, and some pretty good pun work. Take a listen!

It's so hard to say goodbye, but here we are - at the end of the SATC portion of our cinematic universe and it's a wild ride. We head into the madness of the 2010 film - the financial crisis is upon is and so is the tragedy of Big buying a television. Miranda is struggling at work, Charlotte struggling at home, and Samantha...well, she is comedically thriving. It's a lot. Take a listen!

It hardly seems possible, but we are finally at the Sex and the City movie and we couldn't be more thrilled. We get into it all - Charlotte's diminishing storylines, Samantha's journey to L.A., the movie's lopsided feelings about Steve's actions, and whether or not we should even be discussing forgiving Big. That and we discuss Carrie's belt. It's a lot. Take a listen!

And Just Like That...we've completed the original run of Sex and the City. We breakdown everything--from Carrie's determined sadness, Miranda's journey to caretaker, Samantha's seeming absence in season 6, and Kristin Davis nailing a close-up for the ages. Take a listen!

And Just Like That, we're almost at the end. Carrie is heading to Paris to live out her fantasy, Samantha is dealing with the reality of what cancer has done to her body, Charlotte and Harry continue their journey to kids, and Miranda is making CHOICES. It's a lot. Take a listen.

It's so hard to say goodbye...and it seems Carrie has to, as she prepares to head to Paris with her Russian. The girls are trying to be supportive, but Miranda can't quite muster it. And Elizabeth Taylor gives birth. A whole lot going on! Take a listen!

And just like that, we're back after a brief Thanksgiving hiatus to discuss one of the last episodes of the original run of SATC. Samantha is worried about her sexual reputation, Charlotte enters a dog show, Miranda is still adjusting to life in Brooklyn, and Carrie ponders how to make things last in a relationship. It's a lot, take a listen!

We're closing in on the final set of episodes of season six and it mostly feels like a lot of table setting--Carrie and Aleks are having trouble communicating, Samantha confronts the reality of cancer, Miranda moves to Brooklyn, and Charlotte expands her family. It's a sweet episode that's sort of all over the place. It's a lot. Take a listen!

And Just Like That, we're back at a crosswords with Carrie as she ponders whether she wants children...but is it the show that can't make up it's mind? We also break down what's going on with Miranda in terms of partnership and whether it's impossible for Carrie to support Samantha. And Charlotte gives us comedy. It's a lot. Take a listen!

To support Shortcomings, visit patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

And just like that, we've made it to Miranda and Steve's wedding and it feels right and wrong. We also discuss how the big things in this episode feel small - is this really when we discover that Samantha has cancer? It's a strange episode of Sex and the City, but a delightful Shortcomings recap.

We couldn't help but wonder...hasn't Carrie already taken many "lovers"? That question is on our mind amongst many others as we take on this episode of SATC. Why is Samantha getting less screen time? Where is Harry? And honestly, why aren't Miranda and Steve moving out of this apartment of horrors? All of that and we blind rank some SATC boyfriends. Take a listen.

He's here and he's perfect! We couldn't be more excited that Aleksander Petrovsky has finally joined us and we're feeling mild-whiplash as we deal with Steve and Miranda getting back together, Samantha's bush, and the fast pace story of Charlotte's loss. It's a lot. Take a listen.

Carrie is revisiting an old love, Miranda is jealous of the hot cheerleader, Samantha is sneaking into a pool, and Charlotte has really nothing going on. We couldn't help but wonder...what's going on in season 6? We try to make sense of it all and get distracted a few times. Take a listen!

Mamma Mia, here we go again...it's another crazy episode of season 6 that is not giving what we remember. But before that, we get into a little conversation about the new season of Love is Blind and Taylor & Travis. And then we try and find something to say about this dud of an episode - where is Samantha Jones? Is there a better story for Charlotte and Harry? But mostly we go into a crazy detour about bands from the 2000s.

It's the episode we've been worried about and darling, we had reason to be. Carrie is swinging, Miranda is under the bed, Charlotte is anxious, and Samantha is struggling to get dressed. But before that we get into The View, Gisele, and so much more. The episode may be all over the place, but we break it all down.

WARNING - We talk about Sister Wives (a show only one of us has seen) for nearly 30 minutes up top. SATC content begins around 29:07.

Jack Berger is gone and we are feeling it - we take on an episode that is remembered as iconic, but is it. Samantha and Smith are in their MTV era, Charlotte worries about her upcoming nuptials, Carrie wants some pot (we're sorry Che Diaz), and Miranda has No Excuses. It's a lot. Take a listen.

WARNING - this episode includes takes on the new season of RHOC and Taylor Swift that maybe we should have cut, but we didn't. It's (not) so hard to say goodbye as we bid adieu to Jack Berger, but we couldn't help but wonder...do we want to see him again? Meanwhile, we obsess over Charlotte's dating life, question Brady (as always), and stan Samantha...but maybe not her hat. It's a lot. Take a listen.

We're back in the loving arms of the original series and we couldn't be happier, but unfortunately this was recorded before the end of AJLT, so past Sam and Chris are going through it still. But luckily we have so much to discuss - Charlotte's angsty, Samantha takes on Smith's career, Carrie buys Berger a shirt, and Miranda is making those cupcakes. We mostly talk a lot about the Berger shirt. Take a listen!

And Just Like That...we did it! We've made it to the end of s2 of our favorite-least favorite show. But before we get into that, we discuss new RHONY and the state of the streaming wars. 

Then we get into it all--the return of Samantha Jones (was it all worth it?), the reconciliation of Steve and Miranda, the continued winning of Kristin Davis, and the idea of leaving someone your bras. Oh and the wild proposal made by Country Lurch himself.

And Just Like That...we're almost done, but before we leave this parallel universe we have to break down (and breakdown) Steve's new hot dogs and clams restaurant. We also discuss the exit of Stanford Blatch, the supremacy of Nicole Ari Parker's acting versus the writing, the continued Ls being handed to Miranda Hobbes, the joy of drunk Charlotte, and the utter terror of Aidan Shaw-Carrie Bradshaw. Take a listen!

And Just Like That...we're shocked and aghast. This episode has a lot going on - Aidan and Carrie are moving in together (?), Brady and Lily hookup (?!), Ryan Serhant makes a guest appearance (?!?), and for some reason there's a cat in Carrie Bradshaw's apartment (?!?!). What else is there to do, but press play. Take a listen!

And Just Like That...every one has lost their damn mind! Carrie is asking Big questions and we aren't sure how we feel about it. Miranda is back in the work place and eating disrespectful cookies. Charlotte is back in the original show to positive and negative returns. And, well, maybe Che is the star of this show. It's a lot! Take a listen.

And Just Like That...Aidan. Is. BACK! We get into it all--the weird structure of this episode, the introduction of Drew Barrymore into the SATC/AJLT cinematic universe, a new Italian poet, Charlotte's brownie adventure, Miranda's journey to the regency period, and Carrie and Seema's awkward scene. It's a whole lot going on this week! Take a listen.

It's episode 6 of And Just Like That season 2 and we have thoughts! Carrie is pondering her relationship with exes, Charlotte searches for the perfect condom, LTW continues to ascend, and Miranda Hobbes makes her grand return. To quote Dr. Naya Wallace, "this is something I'm interested in!"

Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water, Harry slaps on a wig and we have a halloween episode of And Just Like That. But before we get into that, we discuss the recent Emmy nominations and remind you all where we stand - with unions! And then we get into all of it: Miranda and Che's competing schedules, Seema's new experience, Naya's re-entry into the world of heaux-ing, Charlotte's love of Ralph Lauren, and Carrie's return to the Freak Show. It's a lot. Take a listen.

It's episode four of And Just Like That and sometimes we're not even sure what we're seeing...we get into LTW's expanded universe, Charlotte and Harry's bold venture into the world of men's pelvic floors, Steve's new workout regimen, Carrie and Gloria Steinem's hang, and we ponder if Miranda's real long-term relationship is couch. It's a lot. Take a listen!

And Just Like That...we're obsessed! But before we get into the episode, we drop into the fact that Ms. Bradshaw may be getting a cat and that Mr. Mariska Hargitay is joining us. And then we get into it...the MILF list, Android phones, the hot men, faux-COVID, and the grand return of Bitsy Von Muffling. It's a lot. Take a listen. 

And Just Like That is back and we're covering the first two episodes. It's a super-sized episode where we cover it all. Is the first needle drop a reference to our new star, Tony Danza? Is Carrie really a people pleaser? Are the pop girls shaking now that Lily has entered the chat? And we simply marvel at the beauty of Dr. Naya Wallace/Karen Pittman. It feels good to be alive again!

Description: This week, we’re down Sam, but Chris is joined by writer/editor/podcaster/star Evan Ross Katz on the eve of And Just Like That. We get into the show’s legacy, Che discourse, costume work, and so much more. Take a listen!

We've made it to the "He's just not that into you..." episode and we take on a lot, including our hazy memory of the crazy, star-filled movie version of that saying. Carrie and Berger are fussing over scrunchies, Samantha is role-playing, Miranda is Rambo-ing, and Charlotte and Harry break-up. It's a lot. Take a listen.

Jennifer Coolidge is here and we have to wonder…why? We’re dealing with Berber’s sound machines, Steve’s bad baby-bag etiquette, and we worry about Harry and Steve. Oh and Smith is back. Take a listen!
