Shortcomings

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

Girls - She Said Ok

2024/09/13

Don't count us out, because we're BACK (again). We recap a little about our beloved Grace's wedding and give a preview of our chat on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. A bonus episode is coming this weekend, because WOW. And then we get into Hannah's birthday...and hmmm...do we have thoughts? Take Us or Leave Us? We don't care!

Girls - Truth or Dare

Shortcomings ·

2024/08/29

We're back from vacation and we couldn't be happier - so, of course, we begin with a conversation about Chimp Crazy (have we seen it? nope), Taylor and Travis, and Challengers. And then we get into episode 2 - Shosh is giving COMEDY, Hannah is back on her BS, and Adam is gonna Adam. It's a lot. Take a listen!

Girls - Females Only

2024/08/16

Season 3 is here and we're feeling good - but before we get into that, we discuss the new trailer for RHONY and give our brief (lolz) thoughts on RHONJ. And then, of course, it's time for the episode - we've got Shosh's new mantra, Marnie Marie Michaels is on the couch, Jessa is a terror, and Hannah's living that domestic life.

Girls - Together

2024/08/10

And it's a wrap on season 2, but before we get into that - we discuss Chris' journey back into the Before Universe and celebrity astrology. And then we get into it all: the sadness hanging over Shosh and Ray, Marnie's girlbossing her way into failure, and Hannah Banana is just not well. Hardly seems possible, but we did it, Joe.

Girls - On All Fours

Shortcomings ·

2024/08/02

We've finally reached perhaps the episode we've most wanted to discuss and wanted to hide from. But before then, we discuss Sam's political adventure, our feelings about Meghan Markle, and a little Sex and the City rewatch chat. And then we get into it all: we ponder if we've all been a Ray; take on perhaps the greatest musical moment in the history of television; discuss the show's depiction of Hannah's body; and, of course, THAT scene.Girls content begins at 43:40To support Shortcomings, visit us

Girls - It's Back

Shortcomings ·

2024/07/25

It's a special week in the Shortcomings Universe - and we couldn't think of any way better to honor that then to release in almost 2 hour long missive. We start by listing some of your favorite moments from the show (some of them we remember, some of them we don't, most of them we regret). And then we get into an episode for the AGES. We discuss Shosh and Ray's continued struggle to connect, lust over our two favorite boys, differ on Marnie's visage, and we applaud our favorite duo, Lorraine and

Girls - Video Games

Shortcomings ·

2024/07/12

Better late than never, we're back to chat about perhaps the most divisive episode in the herstory of GIRLS. Hannah and Jessa go and visit her father and we try and wrap our head and hearts around it all. What's going on with Frank? What's Sam's history with Rosanna Arquette? And what on god's green earth is Salvatore's job? But before that, we touch down on the Kardashians...because why not!

Girls - Boys

Shortcomings ·

2024/07/04

And we're back and we hope you missed us! In an act of respect to you all, we went a lil too long this week and perhaps lost our minds. Before the Girls content begins we get into why nothing is quite hitting, Paige's wedding attire, and a strange new obsession one of us has.And then we get into another s2 detour - Hannah has a book deal, Marnie is hosting a party, and Adam-Ray go on an adventure. But most importantly, we have guest stars! Take a listen!

Girls - One Man's Trash

Shortcomings ·

2024/06/20

We have officially reached THAT episode of Girls and we had a lot to say...but before that, we discuss Taylor discourse and Bridgerton. And then we break it all down. Patrick Wilson as a point of desire, the show's depiction of Hannah's writing, and we simply ask...what does it all mean?

Girls - It's a Shame About Ray

Shortcomings ·

2024/06/13

"Grow up." Our Girls this week are giving out advice and taking none of it themselves, but before we get into the episode we talk about the current pop charts and Taylor's continued nuisance. And then we take on Hannah's dinner party, Jessa's unhinged behavior, Marnie's mess, and the Shosh-Ray of it all. Take a listen

Girls - Bad Friend

Shortcomings ·

2024/06/06

Don't call it a comeback, but just a return to form. This week's episode is a normal length, but just as unhinged. We spend some time talking about Tamra Judge and her friendship herstory before getting into the episode. And what an episode...Booth Jonathan's decor, Lena Dunham's performative acting, and the introduction of Laird. It's a wild ride.

Girls - I Get Ideas

Shortcomings ·

2024/05/30

Season 2 of girls is in swing and so are we - it's another chaotic episode, but we do try and discuss Hannah and Sandy's demise, Shosh and Ray's ascending, and Marnie's new costume. It's a lot. Take a listen!

Girls - It's About Time

We are back for season 2 and it's another crazy episode - we get into it all: Sandy, emojis, Marnie's mom, and the business practices of Apple. Take a listen!

Girls - She Did

Shortcomings ·

2024/05/16

And here we are - the end of s1 of GIRLS. Thank you so much for your support, love, and encouragement. Your reward? An unhinged episode! Watch-out for an extra-long early chat including varied topics: Madonna, the VMAs, Eras Tour, Wicked, Patti LuPone, the Parent Trap, Jesse Lally, and the Great Wars. And then we get into it all - Ray's face placement, Jessa's choice, Marnie and Thad, and Adam Driver's performance.GIRLS content begins @ 41:44 (SORRY)

Girls - Leave Me Alone

Shortcomings ·

2024/05/10

It's a very non-classic episode of Girls, but a classic episode of Shortcomings - we breakdown Powell Goldman, Tally, and ask the simple - yet profound - questions, "What's going on with Katherine?" Take a listen!

Girls - Weirdos Need Girlfriends Too

Shortcomings ·

2024/05/01

It's Adam's world and we're just living in it - at least for this week! But before that, we take a strange turn into the world of bazinga, old timey jargon, and some dark sided takes about the world. And then it's time to discuss it all - Thomas John, Adam's play, and shower antics.Girls content begins 21:40To support Shortcomings, visit us patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

Girls - The Return

Shortcomings ·

2024/04/17

Hannah is heading out of New York City and going home to Michigan and we're not quite sure how we feel about it. Is Eric the finest character we've ever met or a sicko? After a beautiful debut, does this second go-round live up to the first appearances of Tad and Loreen? And, dear god, where is Keri Hilson? Take a listen!

Girls - Hard Being Easy

Shortcomings ·

2024/04/10

Oh what an episode! For some reason, we spend some time discussing Anne Hathaway and the drop of SATC on Netflix. But then we get into this CLASSIC episode of GIRLS. We get into it all - the role of writer in Hannah's life (and a chat about Carrie), Marnie's visit to Charlie's apartment (or version of an apartment), and whether we see Jessa in San Fran. And, of course, we spend a lot of time on Jeff. Girls content begins at 22:14

Girls - Hannah's Diary

Shortcomings ·

2024/03/27

"Don't quit before the miracle." A line from Jessa or a plea from us to all of you to keep listening - this week we discuss a lot and very little, so feel free to skip through the beginning section. We get into the many Matts of the world, Jeff's spiral, and Hannah's iconic colleagues. GIRLS talk begins at (shockingly) 43:02To support Shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast
