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

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.

Girls - The Return

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?

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

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?

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.
