In the winter of our discontent, let necessity be the mother of invention. As in, we are discontent with America: the Motion Picture and needed to be inventive about recording while Barry was out of town for a week and a half. Join us in an audio festival of contempt for this animated comedy's poorly-written jokes that rely on the premise "anachronisms = funny" over and over and over. This podcast would like to humbly submit the idea that you, the audience, deserve better. Better... for freedom.
Many thanks to Jessica Conger-Henry for being our Narrator.

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.
