Speaker 1 (01:02):
So here's a little treat.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So group therapy for and just like that viewers.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, that's what this is. This is group therapy.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So the support group. The thing that and just like
that is most effective at is making me want to
watch of the City not being a good TV show
because I fucking hated this episode oh so much. Wow,
and you know a lot you know that this season
(01:33):
I have been in many ways and and just like
that apologist and have really been searching for the good
and baby, there was nothing good about this episode.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It was bad and the words of Ticket and Sarah.
Where does the good go? Where did the god? What? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Why do I do this with you?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Okay, So not to be me, but I this is
an episode that I actually really a lot. I'm not
gonna lie I hate you, but you so you know.
I actually thought you were gonna like it. Same thing
with Barbie. I really thought you were gonna like it.
I thought that we were gonna be on the same
page again. But it's not.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's not. Let me little friend, and we are always
going to disagree about everything.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm gonna defend the Barbie movie. Let me be clear
about something. I have no interest in defending this Like.
This isn't something where I'm like it was amazing. It's
just like, Oh, that was an episode of TV that
did not make me, did not make my skin crawl
from head to toe. Outside of the moment when Cynthia
Nixon said lgbt QI a.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Dating sites, I could I never needed to hear Cynthia
Nixon utter that acronym, and I wish I could scrub
my brain out so I didn't have to experience it.
I am just so furious that they have been fucking
(02:58):
teasing us all season about Aiden coming back. We've been
teasing us for months, for almost a year at this point,
and then he was in the last eight minutes of
the episode or less potentially, and then there's only like
three episodes left of the season.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Do you think he's gonna be in the next three episode?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, I think he's going to be in the rest
of them heavily. But the fact that he was barely
in this one, this is the thing that I keep
coming back to. Carrie Bradshaw is a tertiary side character
in the series. She is the protagonist of and instead
the protagonist seems to be LTW and her son and
(03:42):
his slutty high school girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It feels like one of the reasons that Michael Patrick
King decided to rename the franchise, right, it's not Sex
and the City the reboot, it's a new show called
and just like that. I think that is in part
because he wanted people like us to like not compare
(04:05):
the two and so like and just like that, I
feel like it's go I know, right exactly, And I
was like, I also feel like he's trying to make
and just like that more of like an ensemble piece.
So it's like about all these characters that we don't
really give a fuck about. It's like, I don't care
that Chadeas is now going to be working at like
a pet adoption. Are you.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That? Are you me? It was bad enough that last
week we had Chay in a plotline with Harry, but
now we're going to get solo scenes of Chay and
it's about all like rescuing dogs. They every time they
introduced a new side character who I'm not interested in,
(04:46):
that character then gets like two other characters with them
to create even more plots that I never want to see.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I didn't even realize it was dogs. I thought it
was like supposed to be like the lg ME tea setters.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well because well because you know, yeah, yeah, exactly yeah.
And that Miranda, well okay, that was the one part
of the episode that I did enjoy was the fact
that Miranda's love interest in this episode it was played
was played by Miriam Shore from Younger, which is another
horrible show, but the one that I enjoyed a lot
(05:24):
much more than I'm just like that. So her showing
up is this lesbian audiobook narrator who does like Dike
pride of Prejudice reads like I don't understand. To me,
the math is not mathing there because like women who
are horny for Pride and Prejudice are like horny for
(05:45):
mister Darcy and not Mixed Darcy. So it just made
no sense. And then I did I guess I liked
the realism of her shitty little New York City studio,
but it just I am so continuously confused and disappointed
(06:08):
by this damn TV show.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I have so many different things running through my head,
but first and foremost, Phoebe, what do we think about
Mixed Darcy? And what do we and do we think
Miranda's a lesbian?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I felt like at home in Sex and the City
because it was yet another offensive portrayal of a lesbian.
It's like the one lesbian, the first lesbian Miranda dates
like steps in cap poop while they're making out, Like I.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Just it could not be. It could not be more
of a lesbian stereotype if I.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Think lesbians know how to not step in their own
litter box, like come on.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And also what I did not I was like she
was hot a flip it like this?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
What I did like about it was that it felt
like an og sex in the city, romantic subplot like
a boyfriend of the a a girlfriend of the week.
You know, in this new world where Miranda is a lesbian,
we don't know. I mean, I don't think Carrie should
be making lesbian jokes as freely as she is. I mean,
(07:12):
the streatest woman in existence, she's really like saying them
with her whole chest. Oh yeah, and Miranda is clearly
not deep enough in her queerness to be like, you
actually can't say that, but I want her to stand
up for herself. If you want to hear all of
