- TV & Film
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.

We're back in New York and even more specifically, Bushwick. The girls are acting up and so are we. Enjoy!

Girls - The Return
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
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 - Hannah's Diary
"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) 43:02

Girls - All Adventurous Women Do
He's here and he's (im)perfect - and yes, we mean Booth Jonathan. We're breaking down episode 3 and that means you're getting us sharing our own baggage, question the character of Jeff, ponder Charlie's shorter hair, and simply marvel at Jessa's first day of work look. It's a lot take a listen.
GIRLS content begins around 14:05

Girls - Vagina Panic
"But what about the stuff that gets up around the sides of condoms?" Hannah is freaking out, Marnie is telling the truth, Jessa is avoiding, and Shosh is dropping her own truth bombs. They are, in fact, the ladies and we get into it all in this discussion of episode 2, Vagina Panic.
Girls content begins around 35:35 after an extended opening conversation.
