Girls Rewatch: Sex and the City

Our LA journey continues with our New York friend, actor and comedian Charles Hsu! Crack open those science textbooks (if they allow them at your school) because we’re talking SATC S2E11, “Evolution.” 

Miranda embarrasses herself at the gyno and discovers she has a lazy ovary, Samantha attempts to get the upper hand with the man who broke her heart (Blair Waldorf’s gay dad,) Carrie tries to secure a drawer in Big’s apartment, and Charlotte lives out Evan and Amelia’s shared dream of dating a gay guy. 

We talk sparkle straights v. masc gays, Carrie’s apparent poor circulation, the internalized misogyny of judging another woman for freezing her eggs, and believing in life after love (Cher is such a survivor!)

Plus: our pitch for Zendaya’s next Big Movie, a pulse check on where scrunchies are in the culture, and Samantha’s millennial optimism.

Thanks for listening to Icks & Tits, and follow @charlesahsu for guaranteed lols!

Genius hosts of Sexy Unique Podcast Lara Marie Schoenhals and Carey O’Donnell are in the stu to chat SATC S2E10, “The Caste System.” 

Carrie gets a purse instead of an “I love you” from Big and goes full brat mode at an UES party, Miranda is once again blamed for being successful when Steve can’t handle a suit gift, Samantha dates a probable human trafficker, and Charlotte forgets her Connecticut roots as she fucks a movie star in the back of a limo. 

We host the great debate about the Judith Leiber purse, share our craving for a Serena Bush spinoff, mourn how Covid killed suit culture, and realize how JFK Jr. is the Madame Web of the SATC universe (his web connects them all.)

If you too are a genius, listen to SUP, follow @ecareeyo and @larzmarie, subscribe to Carey’s substack Gay Doctor, and enjoy your beautifully improved life!

Can a man change? Yes, but not in the way you want! 

Actress and upcoming elite podcaster Mina Le helps us come to this conclusion and more by chatting through SATC S2E9, “Old Dogs, New Dicks.”

Carrie hides her real concerns about Big’s wandering eye with a cigar metaphor, Charlotte naively thinks her guy is getting cut just for her, Miranda and Steve can’t align their sleep schedules, and Samantha is confronted with the sincerest form of flattery: an ex is paying homage to her in drag.  

We discuss our personal journeys with checking out hotties (PSA- they are people too!) Carrie’s revolutionary Cookie Monster PJ set, the concept of a sex schedule, and the Sisyphean plight of trying to change a man in the way you want to. 

Plus: Evan’s mouse trauma, our best Steve impressions, and nostalgia for T-Shirt slogans of the past.

Follow @gremlita for her next moves and hopefully an update on the 40-year-old casting call. 

Another tragedy has befallen Girls Rewatch- Evan’s mic didn’t record so please forgive us for the sub-optimal listening experience! We continue to lol through it all.

Our West Coast reporting continues with LA Legend Ali Macofsky as we get into SATC S2E8, “The Man, the Myth, the Viagra.” 

Samantha test-drives sex with an old coot, Carrie proves the haters right and ditches Miranda for Veal Night at Big’s, Steve is introduced in such a hot way, and Charlotte is sort of just there. 

We catch up with Ali about how LA is sexless and the epicenter of looksmaxxing, reminisce over Evan’s first kiss (on the Amtrak!) and realize how working at a dry bar is the natural next step for a babysitter. 

After surviving the Trump jump-scare and note how he subscribes to the pop star theory of never repeating hairstyles, we discuss how Frank Sinatra is Big’s Sabrina Carpenter, laud Miranda’s lotion acting, and decide on our age ranges for lovers.

We're jumping ahead for an absolute goddamn legend! The original orator of “fuckette” and Iron Lady of Glendale Margaret Cho joins us to discuss her glamorous episode of SATC S4E2, “The Real Me.”

Carrie is recruited to walk (and eventually fall) in a fashion show, Charlotte can’t look at her vagina, Miranda faces the consequences of having confidence in front of a gym bro (rejection,) and Samantha bares it all in front of Tony Hale for posterity’s sake. 

Margaret shares her origin story with the pilot of SATC, fondly remembers the pre-feud atmosphere with the ladies on set, affirms that New York is the only place you can be broke AND glamorous, and reminds us that we should never give an ugly guy a chance.

We get into why you should never set up your gay friends, the lost media of 2000s reality shows, the insidious nature of greenwashing, and how unrealistic it is to have a standing brunch appointment for four.

Also Evan didn't find that website, so stay tuned.

To get a glimpse at a utopian society, get your tickets to Margaret’s new stand up tour CHOLIGARCHY at margaretcho.com

An unexpected wedding sends Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha into four very different romantic spirals in Sex and the City: Season 2, Episode 7, "The Chicken Dance."

The timing couldn't be better. Coming off the heels of Taylor Swift's Manhattan wedding, one of our favorite girls in town and bride-to-be, Cat Cohen, returns to the podcast to break it all down.

Cat brings her dog Romeo to join us as we unpack the episode and, naturally, get wildly sidetracked talking about the Botox-to-autism-and-bone-disease pipeline, our deeply Floptropica dating lives, and what Carrie Bradshaw's perfect hair means to us.

One quick note: Evan's phone ran out of storage, so there's no video this week. Tragic, but we soldier on.

And if you only do one thing this summer, make it seeing Cat Cohen's Off-Broadway show, Broad Strokes, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre: https://www.catcohenbroadstrokes.com

Carrie’s stuck diaphragm. Charlotte’s flirtation with the lesbian community. Samatha’s lightning puss.

We’re back on the couch to talk the textbook episode of SATC S2E6: “The Cheating Curve.” 

With the heart of a lesbian and mind of a straight girl, Charlotte gets in too deep with the sapphic mafia, Samantha gets branded by her gym trainer, Miranda is upstaged by porn, and Carrie keeps her fondue parties with Big a secret.

Evan and Amelia FINALLY deep-dive into pubic hair culture, dream of a world in which we have a lesbian president, shudder at the thought of porn immediately popping up in Roku City, and graph the parabola of the cheating curve. (Like everything else, cheating might be a spectrum- fuck our lives!) 

And remember; if your DIVA cup is stuck, it will eventually come out at some point <3

Stand-up Carolina Montesquieu is cracking open her notebook to help us eulogize SATC S2E5, “Four Women and a Funeral.” 

Charlotte picks up a widower at a graveyard, single Miranda is persecuted by the housing market and faces the horror of dying alone with her cat, Samantha experiences social suicide and has to be saved by “Leonardo DiCaprio,” and Carrie resurrects her relationship with Big.

We discuss how being a single woman is a lot like being a gay guy, Miranda’s undeniable lesbian haircut, how stalking Big’s Instagram on a burner account would have saved Carrie a world of hurt, and Shibby Shipman’s incredible cancellation reach in a pre-social media world.

Plus, Carolina divulges about her personal Big, Amelia laments the lack of Main Events in the tri-state area, and Evan wishes they could get a free lunch at the cost of their dignity. 

Find out where Carolina is performing next at www.carolinamontesquieucomedy.com or @carolinamontesquieu. (Any single boxer listeners, hit her up!)

Saidah, aka Carrie Bradshaw is she was alive during Instagram reels, joins two of the other bravest singles in New York to discuss SATC S2E4, “They Shoot Single People, Don’t They?”

After an all-night salsa dancing bender, Carrie shows up late to her New York Magazine photoshoot (looking kind of beautiful?) but gets dragged in print all over the city, Miranda attempts to teach an optometrist how to make her cum, Samatha crumbles in on herself after getting stood up by a “we” guy, and Charlotte fakes intimacy with the future star of Days of Our Mormon Lives.

We chat about the importance of a mean gay in your life (especially concerning proper foundation technique,) how a fashion poncho will change the trajectory of a young girl’s life, reveal Saidah’s personal Neville von Bitchy is actually her aunt, decide once and for all if Evan really did get stood up on their date, and ponder the central question: is it better to be alone or fake it?

Plus, Bradley Cooper plays a straight guy and Will Schuester makes his television debut!

Find Saidah @applesaidur, you won’t regret it.

Nick Smith of the I Never Liked You podcast has joined the circus of Girls Rewatch to help us dissect SATC S2E3, “The Freak Show.” 

Samantha gets a reverse BBL after a leather freak accurately clocks her age, Charlotte hoards Mr. Pussy and orgasms so much she forgets how to date, Carrie goes on a rapid-fire string of dates only to end up with the biggest weirdo of all (a rec league soccer player,) and Miranda doesn’t need to learn a lesson; she already knows all 30+ single men are freaks. 

We glow over the casual repartee you can have with a gay doctor, discuss possible plans to pull a Samantha and hang out with Gen Alpha to appear younger, wonder why we’re not throwing around the word “pussy” like they were in the 90’s, and remind Jennifer Anniston she doesn’t need to try so hard (you’re a star, baby!) 

Plus, Nick reflects on the pendulum of plastic surgery trends, Amelia mourns the loss of double dates, and Evan shares their hack to the perfect first date (it didn’t work for Amelia at the Transit Museum.) 

Catch Nick’s show Hear Me Out at the Bell House on June 20th! And yes, it’s homophobic if you don’t see him perform during pride month.
