This week, we travel back in time to Patrice Leconte's black and white vision of Paris to cover Girl on the Bridge with David Ehrlich (Indiewire).
Through this movie's intense view of passion, we discuss the importance of being horny on main, how this movie affected David at a young age (and how Kenny thinks it would have changed his life), and how it expertly depicts lust, romance, and kindred spirits. As a little bonus, hear David's thoughts on next week's film "Three Kings" at the end of the episode! Let those knives fly.

For the final episode of this miniseries, we invited award winning critic Emily Nussbaum onto the show for an extended conversation on the second season of Sex and the city.
We discuss staying friends with your exes, the way the show was cut down and for content issues when airing on E, and the contrast between the characters that fuels the charm of the show.

With Godzilla tearing up the box office (and our small screens) for the first time in three years, we thought it was the perfect time to cover Godzilla 2000, Toho's response to the critically panned american outing, with screenwriter, and all around Godzilla expert, Anupam Nigam.
As the second reboot, and 23rd overall production by Toho, Godzilla 2000 sought to revitalize the franchise, and bring it back from the critical pit Roland Emmerich left it in. We talk about the subpar english dub, the state of kaiju flicks in the 90s, and the evolution of Godzilla's design. We also take some time to discuss the recently released Godzilla vs. Kong, and how both monsters have been treated over the years. Do these films fare better as mindless slog fests, or as thoughtful, slow moving cultural reflections? Listen in as we try to sort out our thoughts on this larger than life franchise!

Phil sits down with writer Molly Lambert to discuss the role age plays in Sex and the City through the season 2 episode "Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something women".
In this episode, we compare and contrast SatC to other shows that deal with similar themes of youth vs. age (Summer House, Real Housewives of New York, Below Deck). We also try to figure out what the revival will have to cover and avoid to resuscitate the franchise after the underwhelming, and unfaithful film epilogues.

Zetus lapetus, it's about time we covered one of the EIGHT Disney Channel Original movies that came out in '99, and who better to do it with than someone who auditioned to be in Zenon: Z3, actress Jennifer Lauren DiBella?
While movies like The Matrix and The Blair Witch project were redefining cinema as we know it at the local megaplex, DCOMs were the talk of the schoolyard for 90s kids who couldn't convince their parents to take them to see Stuart Little for the 5th time. Today, Phil is finally taking the plunge into this pre-teen cultural phenomenon. Do these films stand the test of time as classics major, or should they be left to rot in 20th century TV jail. This is Zenon: Girl of the 21st century

For this week's episode of Sex and the City Saturdays, we take a brief break from our season two rewatch to sit down with Sex and the City writer Liz Tuccillo to talk about her time working on the show, her excitement about SatC returning to the small screen, and how unique the SatC writers room was at the time.

Writer/Director (And our go-to guest for subpar movies) Jessica Ellis is back on the show this week to talk about a movie that reaches for the stars, and barely hits the clouds; the embarrassingly executed sci-fi thriller THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR.
We talk about all the ways this movie fails to live up to its promising premise, and the few ways it manages to sneak in the odd pearl. We also discuss the unfortunate way female stars in the 90s were used up and forgotten about, and the film's unavoidable connections to more popular films of the time, such as The Matrix and Gattaca. (Inexplicably) Kick off your shoes, and hop into another reality, as we put on our tin foil hats to and dive head first into the world of simulation theory, forgotten actors, and Roland Emmerich.

Meanwhile, in the epsiode, Charlotte signs the crew up for a sex class after her lover falls asleep in the sack, Samantha decides to have a threesome with a gay couple, and Carrie begins seeing a recovering alcoholic.

Karen Han (Writer @ Slate) makes her triumphant return to the podcast with Mike Leigh's musical period drama TOPSY TURVY.
Things get contentious on the show as Karen and Phil ride hard for the movie's masterpiece status, and Kenny tries his darndest to understand where they heck they're coming from. We pick apart the history, performances, and top-tier directing present in this oscar winning movie to find some common ground on where it deserves to stand in the pantheon of classics, and Leigh's filmography.

Carrie Courogen (Editor at Bright Wall/Dark Room) make an appearance to talk about season 2, episode 15 "Shortcomings" ie. one of Phil's favorite episodes.
In this episode we explore the theme of family through Miranda's experience dating a man with a rascal son, Carrie's feeling as though she is dating an entire family, and Samantha getting overly friendly with Charlotte's soon-to-be divorced brother. Plus, we dig into how we think the revival will handle our brave new world, and Carrie shares her personal experiences with the show.
