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.

The Carrie Diaries (Pilot)

2024/01/24

With no more episodes of the original series and the two movies under our belt, we couldn't help but wonder...what was Miss Bradshaw like in high school? So we took ourselves over to the CW.com and got our eyes on the pilot of The Carrie Diaries. We found Carrie's distraught family, a character named Mouse, and some pretty good pun work. Take a listen!

Sex and the City 2

2024/01/17

It's so hard to say goodbye, but here we are - at the end of the SATC portion of our cinematic universe and it's a wild ride. We head into the madness of the 2010 film - the financial crisis is upon is and so is the tragedy of Big buying a television. Miranda is struggling at work, Charlotte struggling at home, and Samantha...well, she is comedically thriving. It's a lot. Take a listen!

Sex and the City: The Movie

2024/01/10

It hardly seems possible, but we are finally at the Sex and the City movie and we couldn't be more thrilled. We get into it all - Charlotte's diminishing storylines, Samantha's journey to L.A., the movie's lopsided feelings about Steve's actions, and whether or not we should even be discussing forgiving Big. That and we discuss Carrie's belt. It's a lot. Take a listen! SATC Content begins around 17:13 To support Shortcomings, join us over at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux

2024/01/03

And Just Like That...we've completed the original run of Sex and the City.

An American Girl in Paris: Part Une

2023/12/20

And Just Like That, we're almost at the end.

It's a lot. Take a listen. To support the podcast, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

Splat!

2023/12/08

It's so hard to say goodbye...and it seems Carrie has to, as she prepares to head to Paris with her Russian. The girls are trying to be supportive, but Miranda can't quite muster it. And Elizabeth Taylor gives birth. A whole lot going on! Take a listen!

The Cold War

2023/11/29

And just like that, we're back after a brief Thanksgiving hiatus to discuss one of the last episodes of the original run of SATC. Samantha is worried about her sexual reputation, Charlotte enters a dog show, Miranda is still adjusting to life in Brooklyn, and Carrie ponders how to make things last in a relationship. It's a lot, take a listen! To support Shortcomings, visit us patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

Out of the Frying Pan

2023/11/15

We're closing in on the final set of episodes of season six and it mostly feels like a lot of table setting--Carrie and Aleks are having trouble communicating, Samantha confronts the reality of cancer, Miranda moves to Brooklyn, and Charlotte expands her family. It's a sweet episode that's sort of all over the place. It's a lot. Take a listen! To support Shortcomings, join us over at Patreon at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

Catch-38

2023/11/08

And Just Like That, we're back at a crosswords with Carrie as she ponders whether she wants children...but is it the show that can't make up it's mind? We also break down what's going on with Miranda in terms of partnership and whether it's impossible for Carrie to support Samantha. And Charlotte gives us comedy. It's a lot. Take a listen!

The Ick Factor

2023/11/01

And just like that, we've made it to Miranda and Steve's wedding and it feels right and wrong. We also discuss how the big things in this episode feel small - is this really when we discover that Samantha has cancer? It's a strange episode of Sex and the City, but a delightful Shortcomings recap.

Let There Be Light

2023/10/25

We couldn't help but wonder...hasn't Carrie already taken many "lovers"? That question is on our mind amongst many others as we take on this episode of SATC. Why is Samantha getting less screen time? Where is Harry? And honestly, why aren't Miranda and Steve moving out of this apartment of horrors? All of that and we blind rank some SATC boyfriends. Take a listen. Want more Shortcomings?

One

2023/10/18

He's here and he's perfect! We couldn't be more excited that Aleksander Petrovsky has finally joined us and we're feeling mild-whiplash as we deal with Steve and Miranda getting back together, Samantha's bush, and the fast pace story of Charlotte's loss.
