When TV Got It Right – The Future Is Now In this lighthearted episode, we’re diving into the wild ways TV shows and movies totally nailed the future! Join us as we laugh, question, and maybe cringe at how close we’re living to what was once sci-fi. Featured Predictions 🚗 The Jetsons: They promised us flying cars, robot maids, and video calls. Two out of three isn’t bad…but where’s that sky-high commute? “We’ve got robot vacuums and FaceTime—did we skip the fun stuff?” 🎮 Ready Player One: Virtual reality is more real than ever. Are we halfway to Ready Player One? With kids spending hours in virtual worlds, are vacations becoming a thing of the past? 🌌 Star Trek: Touchscreens, voice-activated assistants, space exploration—they called it all. “Which Star Trek gadget do you wish was real today?” We’re also chatting about The Matrix, Back to the Future, Minority Report, WALL-E, The Simpsons, Blade Runner, and Terminator—and how close each one has come to being reality. Fun Questions and Insights: Why no flying cars but hoverboards? Will virtual worlds replace real vacations? Would you trust a humanoid robot like in Blade Runner? Are we destined for a WALL-E future, lounging while robots handle life? This episode is packed with funny takes, clever insights, and a dose of nostalgia. What’s your favorite "they got it right" moment in tech predictions?

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.
