Shortcomings

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.

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.

"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.

GIRLS content begins around 14:05

"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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
