S5 EP04: Cover Girl

It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode.

Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.

After Shows

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!

Girls - Bad Friend

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! 

Girls - I Get Ideas

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!

Girls - It's About Time

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)

Girls - She Did

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!
