Description

Amanda and John, friends for over 20 years, come together to discuss all things Sex and the City (and SATC adjacent!). Join us as we lovingly snark along with each episode, and feel all those feels from the early 2000's. The fashion, the storylines, the friendships, the MEN. Some are outdated, but so many more are just timeless!

SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! SHARE, BABY!This episode might be the greatest example of why Samantha needs to FIND NEW FRIENDS. Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte laugh and make light of Samantha actually making a HEALTHY dating decision (because all of them are just NAILING IT?). Carrie thinks that having a good orgasm warrents the entire world shutting down, Miranda has to choose between getting fat or getting laid, and Charlotte and Trey finally have no more marital issues...for now.

SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! SHARE, BABY!We continue this streak of amazingly well written and well acted episodes by introducing some iconic characters: Maria, Ray the jazz guy, and who could forget Jim Gaffigan, the man who poops with the door open? Big and Carrie flirt with the idea of being “just friends m” while keeping the possibility of sex open. Carrie continues to be a horrible friend not just to her girlfriends, but now to Mr. Big… A man she actually loves. Samantha proves that she is the ultimate true friend by standing up for Carrie behind her back and not just to be performative. Meanwhile, Charlotte does her best to make her situation with Trey as complicated as possible, even though most of the issues from before are now solved.

*JOIN US LIVE every FRIDAY for our live reaction to each AJLT episode, EXCLUSIVELY ON YOUTUBE!*There is NO DAMN WAY this should was written as if it was ending next week!!! You mean to tell us that one one episode, we are wrapping up:-Anthony having second thoughts with Guissepe-Brady being a baby daddy to be-Joy having to figure out if she really wants to help Miranda raise a baby (because let's be honest, that's what ultimately is going to happen)-LTW possibly having an affair-CARRIE DYING ALONE AND SINGLE (because what is the other option than death?)We wait with baited breath, for The Woman to figure out her ending. And by "The Woman", we of course are referring to MPK. And by "ending" we of course mean "how much he wants to punish his loyal audience".Enjoy!!!Send us an email: PATCPOD@gmail.comThis month on PATREON:www.patreon.com/podandthecity8/4 Smash S1 E8 "The Coup"8/11 Girls S2 E10 "Together"8/18 Pillow Talk8/25 Vanderpump Rules S1 E5 "Im Not a Bitch"LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL FOR OUR MAILBAG AND WE WILL PLAY IT ON AN EPISODE :)https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/384376/2/yd2cuctlmk3cm6n7 Hosted on Acast.

*JOIN US LIVE every FRIDAY for our live reaction to each AJLT episode, EXCLUSIVELY ON YOUTUBE!*And just like that: MPK has given us his FINAL BAMBOOZLE: just as the show gets kind of good, he cancels it. As it is with any abusive relationship, we shouldn't be surprised, but are still left feeling completely caught off guard. We break down each storyline and try to make sense of them, and speculate where these crazy kids will all end up. Anthony and Guissepe seem to be headed for moving in bliss, Miranda (sans Joy) is desperate to be a grandmother even though it has been established she really has no interest in children other than her own, Charlotte's vertigo is cured but her zoom therapist is an asshole, and Carrie can't possibly live a life that isn't centered around a man. Also...Seema kills a plant.

*JOIN US LIVE every FRIDAY for our live reaction to each episode, EXCLUSIVELY ON YOUTUBE!*Mercury must be in retrograde, because something is going on in the AJLT writer’s room this week! A broken clock is right twice a day, so maybe this is just dumb luck on their part, but the writer managed to put out something that was at least kind of reminiscent of the original series! The connecting story arcs, actual story payoffs, realistic dialogue (for the most part)…it’s all here! And let’s all take shots (alcoholic or mocktail varient) for THE. BREAKUP. Bye bye bye, Aiden. You, like so many men in our lives, overstayed your welcome.

**TUNE IN EVERY FRIDAY at 2 EST for our LIVE REACTION to the episode, exclusively on YOUTUBE**As Carrie's character continues to lose all sense of life, personality and humanity, we couldn't help but wonder: what does MPK THINK he is doing here? Certainly not make any single one of us root for Aiden; everything that made Aiden "the one that got away" is now gone, leaving us with "GO AWAY, AIDEN!" After breaking this 200 year old glass (Carrie is the first person on earth who cares about GLASS this much) Aiden makes a shocking reveal, which Carrie reacts to by shrugging and then gaslighting the entire audience into thinking we should have known her stance. Miranda and Joy are actually kind of a breath of fresh air, so let’s at least be grateful for that. Something else we are ALWAYS grateful for? Jennifer Lewis. This woman can spin gold out of whatever this writing is. LTW's dad dies for the second time in the series, and there are a couple fleeting moments of greatness in the funeral (other than the egregious butchering of the lyrics of a Stephen Schwartz classic opening number). Meanwhile, Seema is apparantly dirt poor, so that's at least the first semi-relatable storyline so far!

This episode had a TON to discuss this week! First of all, it was randomly kind of good, but that also might just be us reacting to something of substance after oh so many episodes of complete "HUH???". The MAIN topic of discussion is the subject of Wyatt. Ohhhh...Wyatt. Your two hosts are VERY split on our opinions of this kid. While we agree the actor is quite remarkable (because we all universally think this kid is the WORST), but where we differ is our thoughts on whether Wyatt's behavior is warrented and his family is being too hard on him, or if maybe this kid needs a good dose of SUCK IT UP AND GET OVER IT! Meanwhile, Miranda is now housesitting on an open-ended timeline, and after an embarassing on-air snafu, she is feeling slef conscious about her situation with the lovely Joy, who we LOVE. Harry is reduced to a bitchy neighbor who is also semi-impotent (not Charlotte's first ride around the carousel), Seema has a her own Jerry Maguire moment, and LTW and George Washington have some sleep paralysis demons coming to put their marriage to the test.

So many more plot points arise in this third episode of the ceiling, which brings about a million unanswered questions and plot holes. Has LTW seriously taken 8 YEARS to do one documentary? Why did Aiden make that weird face about the Adderall? What was that second bulge in Guissepe’s romper? WHY IS THIS SHOW 42 MINUTES LONG??? Nevertheless, we persist.

Remember last week when we had…oh what’s the word…OPTIMISM about season three? Well, all of that went out the window with, whatever this was. Carrie apparantly now is fine with squirrels, but can barely keep her own cat within its nine lives. She also has “outdoor heels” which is…sigh. Miranda leads a storyline that is really just MPK, with his zero sense of humor or self awareness, giving a big EFF YOU to his loyal audience. Seema has a great little scene that we wish could have just been the entire 42 minute episode, and Kristen Schall is fully wasted in her straight man role.

Season 3 is HERE BABY and we are fully PLUCKED. Mostly because we were expecting this to be as much of a hot mess as S1 & S2 but low and behold, what's this? GROWTH IN THE WRITERS ROOM? We are cautiously optomisticc about this season now based on the high points in this premiere (and believe us, we also point out the many flaws), such as Miranda breaking out of of her weird brain transplant from the the prior episodes, Carrie's friends actually acknowledging what a bad idea this situation with Aiden is, and, best of all: ROSIE. We knew our girl could pull this off, but the extra grace and levity she brings to the character of Mary makes us both proud to be lifelong Rosie stans.

As we reach the end of season 3, we pay homage to the consistency of the writing, costumes, acting, and story arcs of all of these episodes! It will especially be on our mind as we enter season 3 of AJLT, and its almost impossible to not compare and think "ummm what the HECK happened???" But like all of us millennial fans with the appropriate Stockholm Syndrome, We will go into AJLT with positive thoughts and prayers. On this episode, Carrie plans to meet with Big "one more time" for some closure, and Miranda IS. NOT. HEARING. IT. Which, of course, makes Miranda the devil (according to Carrie, who expects a voicemail apology by the time she arrives home). Miranda is shamed by a Chinese restaurant hostess, but is it really just herself projecting? (spoiler: yes AND; the woman is literally laughing at her), Samantha has a super problematic-but-at-the-same-time kinda progressive battle with some "working girls" below her window, and Charlotte and Trey finally manage to CUM to an understanding.

*Important AJLT scheduling news at the top of episode! Episode recap begins at 15 min*We are closing in on the grand finale of Season 3, and this is another solid episode of writing, acting, and fashion, baby!!! Charlotte and Trey's ice cold bed finally reaches a freezing point when Charlotte kisses a hot gardener in the Hamptons, Trey gives all the girls and gays what we NEED with a glistening shirtless sweaty tennis scene, Samantha takes a college student's flower, Miranda drinks away her low self-esteem on a date with a man who is exactly at her own attractiveness level, and Carrie makes the INSANE decision to track down Natasha and force her to forgive her and possibly even give her and Big her blessing.

Another banger episode of season 3! The looks, the hair, the fashion here are all on point, and we love seeing our ladies get to work with some solid writing material! (AJLT WRITERS: we are looking at you with all the side-eye). Carrie is hired to teach a dating class at the learning annex, which she prepares for about as much as she does for everything else in her life. Miranda’s date stands her up because he DIED, Charlotte is still unable to bring Trey into home base, and in turn, all 3 ladies treat Samantha absolutely horribly! Samantha: GET NEW FRIENDS!

Is this one of the most iconic episodes of the entire series, or has every storyline in here become pretty out dated? As it turn out, two things can be very true at the same time. While this episode perfectly captures the humidity of summertime in New York and. the fashion is ON POINT, its no longer really a THING to judge someone for having to live with their family, or to be shocked by the appearance of marijuana on our tv screens. But back in the late 90's, we were happy to see that 420 representation! Also, Trey continues to be the absolute WORST baby adult ever, and refuses to acknowledge that his issue in the bedroom needs to be DEALT WITH. Also, Miranda gets braces.

It’s week two of the L.A. episodes…and week 25 of the girls’ trip, according to the timeline being fed to us here! Many questions are left out in the universe…such as:1) who is funding this weeks-long vacation after Carrie decided to blow off her meetings? 2) how long would these women have to be gone to warrant Charlotte feeling to meet them because she misses them too much and can no longer cope with their absence? 3) why did we ever think that Hugh Hefner was somebody to be celebrated? 4) is Miranda boning this formerly hideous and grotesque writer friend? 5) why isn’t Jan from The Brady Bunch Movie more famous? Even if we never get these answers, we at least are given some iconic fashion moments and tons of celebrity cameos!

In the wake of Carrie’s breakup with Aiden, she decides to REALLY make it all about her by inviting her friends to L.A. to watch her complain and whine about having to take meetings with hot celebs, while simultaneously making really passive aggressive comments to said “besties”.  Samantha has a fling with a dildo model, Miranda wishes she could put her sexuality right out there (turns out she cannot), and Charlotte tries to figure out if Trey’s “issues” are physical or emotional. Shoulda slept with him in the first date, Char! Enjoy!!! LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL FOR OUR MAILBAG AND WE WILL PLAY IT ON AN EPISODE :)JOIN US EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 12 MST FOR OUR LIVE WEEKLY ROUNDUP!!!

It’s Charlotte’s wedding WEEK, so of course it’s ALL ABOUT CARRIE! Carrie grapples with whether or not to tell Aiden about your affair she could have ended multiple times, and Charlotte begs her to wait until after the wedding (guess what Carrie does?). Meanwhile, Miranda poses as a flight attendant, Samantha has a week long tryst with a hot Scottish groomsman, and Trey is unable to prove himself in bed. WHOOPSIES!

Carrie and Big’s affair zooms along at warp speed, so fast, in fact, that we wonder if they had just made it another couple dates without being caught, would this have just kind of wrapped itself up? Samantha is worried about getting her first AIDS test, and Miranda has some “light banter” with a sandwich that would definitely have gotten the dude cancelled in today’s society. Lastly, Charlotte hires Anthony as her wedding planner.

We are in the THICK OF IT. Carrie once again can't leave well enough alone, and decides to double down on the betrayal and drama by giving Big a "you up?" call while Aiden is away for literally two days. Meanwhile, Samantha throws a party to celebrate her fabulousity, until Charlotte points out that you can't REALLY be fabulous if you don't have a boyfriend. Miranda has a BUNCH of phone sex which we agree would get old REAL fast, and Aiden is giving "bad pet owner" vibes when he doesn't seem to have any reaction to Carrie losing his dog.

We have received the messages from the "we hate Steve" club and we hear you loud and clear! It almost seems as if you all knew this episode was about to happen, because BOY do we have a difficult time defending this man-baby on this one. First of all, STEVE, no, having a baby wouldn't be "FUN". It would be actual work, more than just sitting around watching Scooby Doo at 8 pm eating cereal. Speaking of immature, Charlotte has decided to make Trey wait to get to second base, even though Charlotte has arguably had the most D of the four ladies in all 3 seasons so far. Speaking of WAY TOO mature, Samantha fears she might be entering "the change", so she decides to throw Patti Lupone's brother a bone. Lastly, Carrie runs into Big on a boat, and we are just as weak as she is about it.
