Advertise on podcast: Girls Rewatch: Sex and the City

We have finally returned to this island we call home just in time to talk SATC S2E18, “Ex and the City” and answer the question: can we be friends with our exes? Samantha makes her first guy friend because his dick is too big to conquer, Miranda runs away from Steve on the street and subsequently becomes the original friends with benefits, Charlotte is a horse f****r and tries to heal her heart and collar bone, and Carrie lunches with Big only to learn he’s engaged to Natasha.  We talk Carrie feigning maturity re: Natasha, how meet cutes now are just anything but Hinge, the horrifying remedy to lockjaw, and how we need to involve more physicality when avoiding our problems.  Plus: women’s incredible ability to listen to the same story 11 times, Amelia cosplaying as type-B, and Evan reminding us this is a space for environmentalism.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Singer and guest with the most Carrie-Bradshaw-esque hair XKYLAR rounds out our LA journey chatting SATC S2E17, “Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women.” Our ladies inherit a haunted Hamptons summer share and try to answer the question: is a woman 10 years younger than you your enemy? Samantha feels upstaged by her rolodex-stealing Kelly Cutrone assistant, Charlotte lies about her age and suffers the karmic consequence of crabs, Carrie mentors a try-hard virgin, and Big shows up at the Hamptons Hoedown with 26-year-old Natasha. Gasp! We talk the binary of PR girls, breaking HIPAA, why you should never be chill around someone you admire, and the parallels of Big/ Natasha/ Carrie and Jack/ Lena/ Margaret (and Lorde.)  Plus: Amelia is Laurel Harris, Evan’s daughter Jitney is going to make a splash on Love Island, and XKYLAR’s quiet slut top.  Listen to WHY IS NOBODY DANCING? out now!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Stand-up comedian and host of Juicy Scoop podcast Heather McDonald is with us to talk all things incredible and disgusting in SATC S2E16, “Was It Good for You?” The ladies are contemplating if they’re good in bed. Carrie dates a recovering alcoholic who gets addicted to dicking her down, Charlotte spins out when a guy falls asleep inside her, Samantha is rejected by two gay guys, and Miranda is on a journey with her salmon bed sheets. We chat how Heather blames herself for the end of And Just Like That, that SATC is basically The Simpsons in predicting everyone will be pansexual, the rapey men of Heather’s generation and why it’s good to give out your number to a guy at the bar, and Charlotte’s tantric kindling-style handjob. Plus, Heather knew the original Samatha, life-altering dating advice for Amelia, and Evan’s possible foray into dating a butch lesbian.  Go to https://kachava.com and use code GIRLSREWATCH for 15% off your first order.

Actress, comedian, and noted tall girl Hannah Pilkes (Netflix’s Leanne) has no shortage of opinions on SATC S2E15, “Shortcomings.” It’s family week in New York! Miranda dates a used father she met at the gym, Charlotte’s recently divorced brother visits and Samantha reliably hooks up with him, and Carrie puts up with Justin Theroux finishing way too early to spend time with his hot family in their hot home. We chat about the deeply empowering experience of pressing an elevator button, brainstorm how a naked Miranda could have better handled maiming a child, and wonder if it’s cool to hook up with your bestie’s siblings. Plus, basketball basketball lesbians, shots are sacrilegious, and the thrill of your SO’s parents inviting you on the ski trip.

It’s just us girls this week to discuss breaking dating patterns, if we always date the same guy, and SATC S2E14, “The F*ck Buddy” Carrie goes back to her vice, the literal Allstate Mayhem Man, Miranda is addicted to angry men, Samantha considers moving her solo play across the hall, and the ladies rip Charlotte a new one for her habit of anticipating the perfect man. We worry for Inside Out’s Riley, talk the state of froyo in New York, decide which is the girliest of the five senses, and realize the common human experience is hearing your roommates have sex and doing nothing about it. Plus, a re-enactment of how Skipper’s agent delivered the good news he’s back on the show, Carrie’s smallpox poncho, and how the best way to move furniture is when you’re emotionally dysregulated.  Use code GIRLSREWATCH at jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Gift with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedian and inner peace expert Zach Noe Towers joins us for some fun as we discuss SATC S2E13, “Games People Play.” The ladies beg therapy-denier Carrie to get professional help after her Big Breakup, Miranda plays peek-a-boo with her cruising neighbor, Samantha goes sports mode and dates a Knicks fan, and Charlotte doesn’t really have a story this week.  We ponder if you have to play games for a relationship to work, reflect on how Samantha would have been pounded to smithereens this summer, realize how the best case-scenario for marriage is divorce (and the worst is murder,)  and wish we could body-swap with our friends during their break-ups. Plus, Evan crushes the Ella Emhoff Oura ring story, Zach is ready for a brain chip, and Amelia’s journey with EMDR.  Check out Zach’s special Twink Death on YouTube right now!  Download the Vinted app for free and start listing!

TV writer Raina Morris (Emily in Paris) is here to discuss all things taboo for SATC S2E12, “La Douleur Exquise!”  It’s happening. Carrie is in the doorway with the riding crop and Big is telling her to not get Carried Away. In even more iconic moments from this episode, Will Arnett defies gravity to give Miranda head in a cab, Stanford boldly acts on his sweet-as-pie underwear fetish, Charlotte gets Art of the Dealed in a shoe store, and Carrie finally faces her masochism fetish with her Big Beautiful Boyfriend. We chat how, despite the haters, Carrie and Marnie won by being cringe, the concept of getting off at the birthplace of Huck Finn, how a cab is basically a threesome, and conspiracy theories on modern footwear. Plus: Carrie’s continued Navy Seal torture tactics, Evan’s history with foot fetishes, Raina’s argument for embarrassing yourself as much as possible in front of a lover, and how this episode is the perfect encapsulation of the three themes for a young girl’s bedroom: heels, kiss mark, Eiffel Tower!

Our LA journey continues with our New York friend, actor and comedian Charles Hsu! Crack open those science textbooks (if they allow them at your school) because we’re talking SATC S2E11, “Evolution.”  Miranda embarrasses herself at the gyno and discovers she has a lazy ovary, Samantha attempts to get the upper hand with the man who broke her heart (Blair Waldorf’s gay dad,) Carrie tries to secure a drawer in Big’s apartment, and Charlotte lives out Evan and Amelia’s shared dream of dating a gay guy.  We talk sparkle straights v. masc gays, Carrie’s apparent poor circulation, the internalized misogyny of judging another woman for freezing her eggs, and believing in life after love (Cher is such a survivor!) Plus: our pitch for Zendaya’s next Big Movie, a pulse check on where scrunchies are in the culture, and Samantha’s millennial optimism.

Genius hosts of Sexy Unique Podcast Lara Marie Schoenhals and Carey O’Donnell are in the stu to chat SATC S2E10, “The Caste System.”  Carrie gets a purse instead of an “I love you” from Big and goes full brat mode at an UES party, Miranda is once again blamed for being successful when Steve can’t handle a suit gift, Samantha dates a probable human trafficker, and Charlotte forgets her Connecticut roots as she f***s a movie star in the back of a limo.  We host the great debate about the Judith Leiber purse, share our craving for a Serena Bush spinoff, mourn how Covid killed suit culture, and realize how JFK Jr. is the Madame Web of the SATC universe (his web connects them all.) Plus: feuding with something you share a name with, Lara’s brush with an AIM predator & subsequent cyberbullying, step-mom propaganda, appreciation hour for Charlotte, and Evan gets one step closer to pierced ears. If you too are a genius, listen to SUP, follow @ecareeyo and @larzmarie, subscribe to Carey’s substack Gay Doctor, and enjoy your beautifully improved life!  Use code GIRLSREWATCH at jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Gift with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad Learn more about your ad choices.

Can a man change? Yes, but not in the way you want!  Actress and upcoming elite podcaster Mina Le helps us come to this conclusion and more by chatting through SATC S2E9, “Old Dogs, New Dicks.” Carrie hides her real concerns about Big’s wandering eye with a cigar metaphor, Charlotte naively thinks her guy is getting cut just for her, Miranda and Steve can’t align their sleep schedules, and Samantha is confronted with the sincerest form of flattery: an ex is paying homage to her in drag.   We discuss our personal journeys with checking out hotties (PSA- they are people too!) Carrie’s revolutionary Cookie Monster PJ set, the concept of a sex schedule, and the Sisyphean plight of trying to change a man in the way you want to.  Plus: Evan’s mouse trauma, our best Steve impressions, and nostalgia for T-Shirt slogans of the past. Follow @gremlita for her next moves and hopefully an update on the 40-year-old casting call.  Another tragedy has befallen Girls Rewatch- Evan’s mic didn’t record so please forgive us for the sub-optimal listening experience!

Our West Coast reporting continues with LA Legend Ali Macofsky as we get into SATC S2E8, “The Man, the Myth, the Viagra.”  Samantha test-drives sex with an old coot, Carrie proves the haters right and ditches Miranda for Veal Night at Big’s, Steve is introduced in such a hot way, and Charlotte is sort of just there.  We catch up with Ali about how LA is sexless and the epicenter of looksmaxxing, reminisce over Evan’s first kiss (on the Amtrak!) and realize how working at a dry bar is the natural next step for a babysitter.  After surviving the Trump jump-scare and note how he subscribes to the pop star theory of never repeating hairstyles, we discuss how Frank Sinatra is Big’s Sabrina Carpenter, laud Miranda’s lotion acting, and decide on our age ranges for lovers.  Find out where Ali is performing next at alimacofsky.com or @notalimac Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code GIRLSREWATCH at http://cowboycolostrum.com/GIRLSREWATCH.

We're jumping ahead for an absolute goddamn legend! The original orator of “fuckette” and Iron Lady of Glendale Margaret Cho joins us to discuss her glamorous episode of SATC S4E2, “The Real Me.” Carrie is recruited to walk (and eventually fall) in a fashion show, Charlotte can’t look at her vagina, Miranda faces the consequences of having confidence in front of a gym bro (rejection,) and Samantha bares it all in front of Tony Hale for posterity’s sake.  Margaret shares her origin story with the pilot of SATC, fondly remembers the pre-feud atmosphere with the ladies on set, affirms that New York is the only place you can be broke AND glamorous, and reminds us that we should never give an ugly guy a chance. We get into why you should never set up your gay friends, the lost media of 2000s reality shows, the insidious nature of greenwashing, and how unrealistic it is to have a standing brunch appointment for four. Also Evan didn't find that website, so stay tuned.

An unexpected wedding sends Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha into four very different romantic spirals in Sex and the City: Season 2, Episode 7, "The Chicken Dance." The timing couldn't be better. Coming off the heels of Taylor Swift's Manhattan wedding, one of our favorite girls in town and bride-to-be, Cat Cohen, returns to the podcast to break it all down. Cat brings her dog Romeo to join us as we unpack the episode and, naturally, get wildly sidetracked talking about the Botox-to-autism-and-bone-disease pipeline, our deeply Floptropica dating lives, and what Carrie Bradshaw's perfect hair means to us. One quick note: Evan's phone ran out of storage, so there's no video this week. Tragic, but we soldier on. And if you only do one thing this summer, make it seeing Cat Cohen's Off-Broadway show, Broad Strokes, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre: https://www.catcohenbroadstrokes.com Thanks to our sponsors: Use code GIRLSREWATCH at jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Gift with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad Join for free at https://www.rakuten.com or download the Rakuten app to start saving money today!

Carrie’s stuck diaphragm. Charlotte’s flirtation with the lesbian community. Samatha’s lightning puss. We’re back on the couch to talk the textbook episode of SATC S2E6: “The Cheating Curve.”  With the heart of a lesbian and mind of a straight girl, Charlotte gets in too deep with the sapphic mafia, Samantha gets branded by her gym trainer, Miranda is upstaged by porn, and Carrie keeps her fondue parties with Big a secret. Evan and Amelia FINALLY deep-dive into pubic hair culture, dream of a world in which we have a lesbian president, shudder at the thought of porn immediately popping up in Roku City, and graph the parabola of the cheating curve. (Like everything else, cheating might be a spectrum- f**k our lives!)  And remember; if your DIVA cup is stuck, it will eventually come out at some point 3  Get 25% Off Cowboy Colostrum with code GIRLSREWATCH at http://cowboycolostrum.com/GIRLSREWATCH.

Stand-up Carolina Montesquieu is cracking open her notebook to help us eulogize SATC S2E5, “Four Women and a Funeral.”  Charlotte picks up a widower at a graveyard, single Miranda is persecuted by the housing market and faces the horror of dying alone with her cat, Samantha experiences social suicide and has to be saved by “Leonardo DiCaprio,” and Carrie resurrects her relationship with Big. We discuss how being a single woman is a lot like being a gay guy, Miranda’s undeniable lesbian haircut, how stalking Big’s Instagram on a burner account would have saved Carrie a world of hurt, and Shibby Shipman’s incredible cancellation reach in a pre-social media world. Plus, Carolina divulges about her personal Big, Amelia laments the lack of Main Events in the tri-state area, and Evan wishes they could get a free lunch at the cost of their dignity.  Find out where Carolina is performing next at www.carolinamontesquieucomedy.com or @carolinamontesquieu.
