Heads' up that we had several forms of technical difficulties with recording this episode, so apologies in advance for any subpar sound quality!
Are we ever ready to talk about Sex and the City? Unclear, but we're going to.
In part 1 of our SATC series, we discuss some general thoughts on the HBO show, its origins, and its cultural impact. We also talk about our first experiences with the series before giving a preview of the topics we plan to discuss in more depth over the next four episodes.
We're talking about:
- Gender, Sexuality, and the Male Gaze
- Pop Feminism from SATC to our current Cultural Landscape (i.e. Barbie, Sabrina Carpenter, etc...)
- Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte as different aspects of Carrie's personality
- SATC and the genre of "Group of Single Women Takes on the World Together"
- The Pop Culture Afterlife of Sex and the City (The Carrie Diaries, He's Just Not that Into You, And Just Like That...)
- The lasting impact of "chick lit" screen adaptations
We'll be back next episode for some deep-diving discussions!
Follow us Instagram, I suppose.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
