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

The Carrie Diaries (Pilot)

Shortcomings ·

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

Shortcomings ·

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 17:13To support Shortcomings, join us over at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

Out of the Frying Pan

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.

The Ick Factor

Shortcomings ·

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

Shortcomings ·

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?

And just like that...David Duchovny is here and we're not sure how to feel about it. Carrie is revisiting an old love, Miranda is jealous of the hot cheerleader, Samantha is sneaking into a pool, and Charlotte has really nothing going on.

Mamma Mia, here we go again...it's another crazy episode of season 6 that is not giving what we remember. But before that, we get into a little conversation about the new season of Love is Blind and Taylor & Travis. And then we try and find something to say about this dud of an episode - where is Samantha Jones? Is there a better story for Charlotte and Harry? But mostly we go into a crazy detour about bands from the 2000s.SATC content begins around 25:00To support Shortcomings and get access to

The Catch

It's the episode we've been worried about and darling, we had reason to be. Carrie is swinging, Miranda is under the bed, Charlotte is anxious, and Samantha is struggling to get dressed. But before that we get into The View, Gisele, and so much more. The episode may be all over the place, but we break it all down.To support the podcast, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.

2023/09/13

WARNING - We talk about Sister Wives (a show only one of us has seen) for nearly 30 minutes up top. SATC content begins around 29:07. Jack Berger is gone and we are feeling it - we take on an episode that is remembered as iconic, but is it. Samantha and Smith are in their MTV era, Charlotte worries about her upcoming nuptials, Carrie wants some pot (we're sorry Che Diaz), and Miranda has No Excuses. It's a lot.
