Shortcomings

We did it, ya'll! We survived Aidan 3.0 and we couldn't feel any lighter, but before that we discuss the Epstein files (sorry); the new film Sorry, Baby (love); and the MCU (sorry...again). And then we get into it all: age gap relationships, smelly boys, our hopes for LTW, Charlotte's vertigo, our continued love of Joy, and Duncan Duncan Duncan. Take a listen!

And Just Like That begins at 56:40

Aidan is in town and even HBOMax knows it's a horror show, but before that we get into the depths of what we don't know (Max Original Programming) and what we do know (Bravo). And then we get into it all - Charlotte's vertigo, LTW's papaya crush, Miranda and Joy's big little step, and whatever the hell Miss Bradshaw is doing. Oh and crystal deodorant.

It hardly seems possible, but it feels like we've turned a corner. The girls gather for Charlotte's birthday and perhaps fun is had! But before that, we discuss Sam's trip to Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour. And then we get into it all - Carrie's writing style, Miranda's joyful party style, Charlotte and Harry as couple goals, and all that karaoke. Take a listen!

It may have taken longer than we wanted, but we're finally somewhere and it feels so good. Before we get into the episode, we briefly chat about the NYTIMES Top 100 movies of the 21st Century and Love Island. But then we take it all on - LTW's loss, Charlotte as Pollyanna, Aidan's haunting appearance, and the joy of Joy.

Carrie's back from her horror jaunt to Virginia - and things are afoot in Gramercy Park, but before that we discuss a little Love Island and a recent review. We then get into it all - Seema's small business loan, LTW's dwindling marriage and the role references play within this show, Miranda and Carrie as roomies, and those damn shoes.

Carrie Bradshaw is on ATV and we don't know how to feel about it, but we do know that this episode through us for a loop. But before that, we discuss Call Her Daddy for some reason. And then we get into it all - Ryan Serhant is back, LTW is in Desperate Housewives territory, the show's attempt at taking on aging, Miranda is cat sitting, and that ending!!

And we're back for episode 2 and the forecast is looking up somewhat, but first we recount a few things currently going on in pop culture: spoiler alert, nothing good! And then we get into the episode: the strange tone of Seema's storytelling, AJLT's visuals, the connective power of reality tv, and Carrie's emojis.

We made it to the end of season four and we can only hope that season five is looking up, because we didn't love this episode. So much so, we really barely discuss it. So disclaimer - the Girls talk in this episode is little to none. But, I think we sort of made some points. Either way, we love you deep!

Girls talk begins around 1:07:20

We're back after a brief hiatus and we catch-up briefly on our lives before discussing the penultimate episode of Season Nine. Tad is in town and Hannah is reckoning with boundaries, Jessa is chasing Ace, Marnie's taking center stage, and we're wondering...did we ever really know Ray? We do now! Take a listen!

An episode where we discuss what we're currently watching and re-watching, and then get into an episode of Girls that is remembered fondly, but is out there. Tad comes out, Hannah's a mess, Shosh is a Good Wife girlie, and Desi is buying pedals!

It's another week of Shortcomings and a strange episode of Girls, but before that we get into Megan Markle's new Netflix series, 23 & Me, Summer House, and many other things. And then we breakdown Mimi-Rose Howard's art show, the introduction of Fran, and the Ace of it all. Here we go!

Oh, we are SO back and it's for a great episode of Girls...and hopefully, Shortcomings! But before that, we get into a little discourse about how to handle the moment we find ourselves in and a bit about the power of the Potomac reunion. And then we get into it: Shosh continues to be a model of mid-20s living, Indie Rock discourse, Ray's political awakening, Hannah's journey, and the Mimi-Rose of it all. Take a listen!

Oh, we woke up on the wrong side of the bed! The discourse has become toxic and we have to get these Beyoncé-haters and Craig apologists in their place. And then we take on a pretty important episode in Girls transition. Hannah is struggling in Iowa, Marnie and Desi are compartmentalizing, and Shosh is the only adult on this damn show. Take a listen!

We're still in Iowa and not sure how to feel about it, but before we get into we discuss Sam's journey back into Dance Moms and Chris' most recent unhinged dream. Then we get into it all: Adam and Jessa's newfound friendship, Marnie's delusions, Ray as king, and Shosh's interview skills. Take a listen!

Well, it's a fitting episode title as trigger warning: we're going through it as we attempt to record on the day You Know Who is sworn in, but anyway...we discuss Iowa rents, Scandal crossovers, Hannah on a bike, and so much more. Remember us better than this episode plz!
