Adam and Jessa's film is finished, Desi is back, Elijah is acting, and Hannah is going through it, but before any of that - we, of course, discuss our financial practices through the lens of streaming services and the new season of Beverly Hills with a side of Summer House. And then we simply, can't help but ask some serious questions. Should Hannah tell the father? What's going on in New Jersey? And is Jessa leading with her heart? Answers come and go!

And just when you thought we'd never discuss Girls again, here we are - it was a long hiatus, but we're back in Brooklyn and happy to be there. But before then, we catch up with Sam in the New York Snow Storm and try and remember exactly what happened on Paradise. And then we get into it all - Ray and Shosh's beautiful bond, Marnie's evolution, and the search of our queen Loreen. But, mostly, we're simply wondering why is Chris crying...

This is maybe one of the episodes of GIRLS that shocked viewers when it originally aired, but how does it hold up? Before we answer that, we discuss internet trends and the Golden Globes. And then we discuss it all - Hannah's pregnancy reveal, Jessa and Adam's support systems, Marnie and Desi's final scene (perhaps?), and the Ray of it all. Take a listen!

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 Miss Horvath.

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!
