The Good Brothers are quick to point out goes over just as well as when anyone else tries to bestow a nickname upon themselves, and also call out his lack of originality on the others he's bestowed powers upon. Hear the hosts talk about a really good episode showcasing Jason Marsden's acting chops, some very meta voice acting from Phil Lamarr, music that gets a passing grade from the resident harshest critic of Static's soundtrack, and a plot that seems undercut by later seasons and a lack of consequences.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
