Shortcomings

This one is for all the only children out there - or is it? We get into how Hannah is playacting at having a sibling, the Ray-Marnie of it all, and how underwhelming Jessa has become. With, of course, some very shocking detours into the herstory of dogs. Because, why not!

Hannah's editor, David, has passed away and it's got the Girls in a tizzy, but before that we chat about the Emmy's. We then breakdown whatever Marnie's workout routine is, the seedlings of Adam and Jessa, and whether Hannah's reaction to death is really that odd at all. Oh, and of course, we take a detour to discuss the failings of education system as only we can.

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!

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!

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.

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. S2 is done. Girls content begins at 40:53 To support Shortcomings, vi...

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 H...

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...

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!

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...

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?

"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

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. Take a listen! To support Shortcomings, visit us...

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!

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!

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 Dri...

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!

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 21:40 To support Shortcomings, visit us patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

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

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!

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 Je...

"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 To support Shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

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 To support shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast

"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.

And just like that...our next adventure is here, we are officially covering the HBO Series Girls (2012-2017). Every. Single. Episode. Today we take on the history of the show, take a little quiz to ground ourselves, and discuss the pilot. Are we the voice of our generation? Probably not. Take a listen!
