We Couldn't Help But Wonder - A Journey Through Sex and the City

Mike Jensen has seen the Sex and the City series many times. Elise Castle has never seen a single episode. "We Couldn't Help But Wonder" what would happen if these two went on an episode by episode journey through the whole series. Join us as Mike watches for the (insert embarrassing number here) time and Elise is watching for the very first. We will discuss how the series holds up almost 20 years later, our own experiences living in NYC, and the debate over too much cranberry juice in the Cosmopolitan.

I'm listening to this almost two years after you posted this. Just wanted to point out that when Carrie says "No, you didn't!" it was the second time she used that phrase. The first time was during the first season when she was talking to Stanford about the online chat rooms.

A very fun podcast. I love all the details they pick out in the show. Hearing how someone has experienced watching satc for the first time is a cool slant too.
