Description

It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode.

Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.

Did you miss us? Because we missed you! Shortcomings is coming back this fall to begin our descent into the magic and the madness of Gilmore girls. So, of course, we gathered to discuss what...everything but Gilmore girls. Stay tuned, we'll be back VERY soon covering Season 1 of Gilmore girls!
This week marks 5 years of true nonsense, so we did what we thought was best - we gathered to discuss the pilot of the show that brought us all together: Sex and the City. But before that, we discuss The Odyssey now that we've both seen it. So, what can you expect other than an epic mash-up of Carrie Bradshaw and Odysseus.

It's so hard to say goodbye...or is it? Today we gather to discuss two monumental finales - the final episode of Girls and Summer House s10. We get into the fallout from The Aftermath and try and process the last few weeks of insanity. And then we get into it all with our Girls - and mostly discuss depictions of motherhood, the power of Loreen, and everything in between. We have loved this journey, thanks for taking it on with us!

They say it's hard to say goodbye, but is it? We dig into the penultimate episode of Girls this week, but before that we touch on the LA Mayoral Race and the state of reality stars. And then we discuss everything else - Hannah's iconic look, the impact of the final bathroom scene, and how we feel about Elijah. Take a listen!
We've landed on a GIRLS classic episode that we've wanted to discuss since s1 - Adam and Hannah rekindle their romance, alongside Ray's introduction to Abigail and an iconic needle drop. Take a listen!
