Sex and the Cidiots

Folks, we've never gotten more direct requests to do anything than we did to go deep on the big gay hockey show, and your wishes are now our command. Let's talk Shane & Ilya's forbidden romance, hidden weiners, and butts that will make you put on your best glasses to check out. Partying Russian style, BJ ethics, and a bizarrely long-stretching timeline, let's drop the puck AND the pants and get af...

We began Girls six years ago with Hannah's parents telling her they were cutting her off, financially. 62 episodes later, we end with Marnie — and Hannah's mom — doing everything they can to help her (and her son, Grovey), despite everything she says or does to push them away. And you know what? It feels pretty consistent, tbh. Marnie wins the Best Friend Award in the end, and closes with a very s...

Hannah's walking through a college campus away from NYC to begin the episode -- a completely new departure we haven't already experienced in an earlier season -- and it turns out she's making a play to become a college professor upstate. It's time to say goodbye to the city, take stock of what it brought her (in her words: misery!), and have one last sendoff with the original Girls...one of whom i...

Elijah fires his acting career back up hard and fast with an open call for the musical adaptation of "White Men Can't Jump," and it's everything you'd hope it would be. Meanwhile we get a haunting from boyfriend's past, as Dill is at a baby-buying scandal of a rock bottom and shows up at the door at the worst time. Hannah finally reaches the NOT waterski instructor by phone to hit him with the Mau...

The very first film we covered when we expanded beyond our Sex and the Cidiots podcast was one of Rob Reiner's perfect films: "When Harry Met Sally." With Rob and his wife's tragic passing, we've been sad, and his incredible career — In addition to his tremendous reputation as an actual human being — has been on our minds. So, for anyone who feels like just living in this classic film for a bit wi...

Hannah's announcing her plans to keep the baby to her visiting, weed-gummied up Mom who reacts one way, and eventually to Elijah, who reacts a completely different way. Ray is dealing with going through Hermie's apartment and things, and it provides a useful epiphany about Marnie, whose character development got completely left behind in the season 5 finale, apparently. Meanwhile, Adam and Jessa a...

Matthew Rhys guest-stars as an author who has such bad luck, he just can't stop getting accused of sexual misconduct. What an unlucky guy! Hannah covered the accusations for her magazine and now goes to his house to confront him/be confronted by him face to face in this episode of Girls that's more like a two-person play about artists who abuse their power and position, and this one dropped right...

It's time to — well, not exactly sprint, but maybe meander — into the final season of Girls! Hannah's Moth story has led to a New York Times piece which leads to a new assignment (from guest star Chelsea Peretti!) to head out to Montauk and write about a ladies surf group. She finds another notable guest star (Riz Ahmed!) to be her empty-headed vibes friend (with benefits) for the weekend, and to...

It's the penultimate episode of the penultimate season of GIRLS! Hannah begins by breaking up with her #secretdick of a boyf for like the third episode in a row, says goodbye to a gig and a principal, and hello to old frenemy Tally (Jenny Slate) for a wild, vulnerable and at times genuinely poignant Brooklyn day. Marnie tries to talk to her mind-controlled ex/current musical collaborator before st...

Girls has the courage to OPEN an episode with a full Basic Instinct, and boy do we mean open! The episode centers around an immersive theater experience that is the kind of thing that is a nightmare for both your podcast boys, and we get: all the Girls showing no respect whatsoever for performers, a lingering Hannah/Fran fight, Marnie announcing her new status to Ray before getting a surprise retu...

It's Spring Queening for Hannah and her mom, who end up diving for a sweaty lady's bits & coming to heartbreaking/real terms with her marriage (respectively), Shosh gets to tour Aidy Bryant around her new Japanese life which is a mix of a new utopia and virgin territory, and Adam and Jessa meet her sister and, basically, make us sick!  Every OTHER episode of Girls drops right here on main, while e...

We're BACK on our Girls journey, and honestly, we've never been happier about it. This episode is an absolute breath of fresh, Eastern hemisphere air as we go to Shosh's new life in Japan, meet her work crush Yoshi, her gal pals, and the new life she's started and absolutely loving...at least until she gets "managed out" of it. Hannah finds a series of nudes in Fran's phone -- but don't worry, the...

In what we are led to believe is the very last bit of Sex and the City media ever (for now), Carrie eats at a weird Japanese restaurant, talks to Charlotte about the idea of being alone, passes out pies to everybody, and listens to some very good Barry White. Charlotte gets railed (thank GOD), and in a notably human way, explains what loving someone means. LTW considers leaving her husband because...

In the penultimate episode of the Sex and the City universe, Carrie checks in on an old Tom Wolfe saying at her old place, and considers a request for ending The Woman's loneliness with an epilogue. Miranda goes completely, narcissistically unhinged with a sneaky Thanksgiving invite, Charlotte approaches what *could have been* a nuanced and serious moment of evolution about her feelings about Rock...

It's the dreaded "Emergency Pod" that we never wanted to have to do, and yet can't believe we haven't done already: "And Just Like That" is coming to an end, after just two more episodes. We hopped on the mics to summarize the news, read the statements from MP King, Kristin Davis & Cynthia Nixon, and we play the whole lovely SJP message and montage for you as well. Let's talk about the end of this...

"Noooo, Aidan don't worry about my feelings for Duncan, I'm not gonna bone him until the end of the week!" - Carrie Bradshaw, translated from last episode. Here, Carrie enjoys her "writing partner" whose notes on her work include a range of advice from "that is good" to "wow, that is good," Brady Hobbes buries the lead with a good news/bad news situation to Miranda and a returning and raging Steve...

Folks, you won't believe how many consecutive meals are made and not eaten in this episode, and the consequences are disastrous. In an episode in which the B, C, D thru Z stories shouldn't have even existed, LTW just says "Ozempic" twice, Joy reveals an incredible bit of self-centeredness upon Miranda's alcoholic confession, Charlotte and Harry literally just waddle and fall down, Seema stinks (li...

There's a big ol' art gallery with condom filled with a metrically measured amount of j***, there's two FULL butts, a lot of closet talk, a now ever-present Aidan staying in NYC for an undetermined amount of time in between longing sighs at his phone, an extremely horny LTW, a Lucille 2-ass Charlotte, the biggest balls in the business on Harry, a post-coital gigglefest with ol' aluminum armpits Pa...

We start with a little bit on last week's controversy about LTW's dad repeatedly dying, and then it's on to an episode that -- sorry -- had a number of enjoyable things! There's a solid bit of farce over Charlotte's birthday party and what sad thing she's dealing with, a bunch of losers who don't want to do karaoke (and then suddenly do), Patti LuPone guesting as an Italian shrink mom, Lilly gets...

Aidan announces his return to town with a crash, and then breaks some other pretty shocking news to Carrie. LTW puts her phone on silent and misses the passing of her dad (RIP Billy D, who IS still alive in real life, thank God), and ends up tussling with Lucille 3 (played by the great Jennifer Lewis) about arrangements, Charlotte finally gets busted while trying to keep Harry's secret secret, and...

As we all know and definitely isn't something the show just jammed in there as a totally new thing out of nowhere: Carrie has a downstairs neighbor! He's a sexy, grumpy British author of questionable height who is serving so much Darcy that we couldn't help but wonder…is he a part of Carrie's "fiction"? Miranda also has some roommate troubles (hi penis, how ya doin' there butcher knife), which lea...

Carrie's in Virginia, folks! And her (possibly Christian Scientist?) boyfriend Aidan is whimsically forcing painting and games upon his children as he tries to get them to like Carrie, and we couldn't help but wonder…where did their chemistry go? Was it lost in Aidan's constant jokes and shouting? Hard to say! Harry's Pop Pop comes to visit and donate his banana to neighbors in need as Harry conte...

In this episode, Carrie takes a friend to Williamsburg, Virginia to have lunch with Aidan, whether or not he's actually willing to take her home! Charlotte goes out to the party, after party, and after-after party to network and up her painting-selling business while wing-womaning a friend, Harry has a very understandable incident with button jeans, Miranda has her first kinda-date with the report...

Hey we didn't title this episode, Aidan did! (Full recap starts at 10:30) Carrie's writing fiction that is mostly about whatever she is doing at that exact moment in real life, Charlotte & LTW are freaking out about their kids getting into Ivy League schools, Miranda gets addicted to a trashy reality show and shoots her shot with a guac lady, Seema is so over dating she gets the matchmaker treatme...

This episode is as big as Carrie's hat, because it's the first time back with our gals in a year and a half, and there's a lot to talk about: Miranda finding God (via someone else in her bed), Charlotte's falsely accused dog, Seema setting a fire like a dope and then having an absolute nothingburger of a relationship, LTW's PBS documentary and its will they/won't they relationship with Michelle Ob...
