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 obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the...

The Carrie Diaries (Pilot) 24.01.2024 57:08
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 17.01.2024 1:51:06
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 10.01.2024 1:52:58
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 1...
An American Girl in Paris: Part Deux 03.01.2024 1:36:04
And Just Like That...we've completed the original run of Sex and the City . We breakdown everything--from Carrie's determined sadness, Miranda's journey to caretaker, Samantha's seeming absence in season 6, and Kristin Davis nailing a close-up for the ages. Take a listen!

An American Girl in Paris: Part Une 20.12.2023 1:29:49
And Just Like That, we're almost at the end. Carrie is heading to Paris to live out her fantasy, Samantha is dealing with the reality of what cancer has done to her body, Charlotte and Harry continue their journey to kids, and Miranda is making CHOICES. It's a lot. Take a listen. To support the podcast, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast.
Splat! 08.12.2023 58:24
It's so hard to say goodbye...and it seems Carrie has to, as she prepares to head to Paris with her Russian. The girls are trying to be supportive, but Miranda can't quite muster it. And Elizabeth Taylor gives birth. A whole lot going on! Take a listen!
The Cold War 29.11.2023 1:25:57
And just like that, we're back after a brief Thanksgiving hiatus to discuss one of the last episodes of the original run of SATC. Samantha is worried about her sexual reputation, Charlotte enters a dog show, Miranda is still adjusting to life in Brooklyn, and Carrie ponders how to make things last in a relationship. It's a lot, take a listen! To support Shortcomings, visit us patreon.com/shortcomi...
Out of the Frying Pan 15.11.2023 1:13:11
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. It's a sweet episode that's sort of all over the place. It's a lot. Take a listen! To support Shortcomings, join us over at Patreon at pa...
Catch-38 08.11.2023 1:16:52
And Just Like That, we're back at a crosswords with Carrie as she ponders whether she wants children...but is it the show that can't make up it's mind? We also break down what's going on with Miranda in terms of partnership and whether it's impossible for Carrie to support Samantha. And Charlotte gives us comedy. It's a lot. Take a listen!

The Ick Factor 01.11.2023 1:15:46
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 25.10.2023 1:01:21
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?

One 18.10.2023 1:09:42
He's here and he's perfect! We couldn't be more excited that Aleksander Petrovsky has finally joined us and we're feeling mild-whiplash as we deal with Steve and Miranda getting back together, Samantha's bush, and the fast pace story of Charlotte's loss. It's a lot. Take a listen. To support the podcast, visit us at www.patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast. You get access to bonus episodes, a monthly z...
The Domino Effect 11.10.2023 1:00:20
We couldn't help but wonder...is season 6 in an upswing? In some ways, yes. And in others, absolutely not. We get into it this week as we discuss the return of Big, SJP's failed crying, the introduction of Debbie, and a discussion of ABC's classic 2004 fall lineup. Take a listen. SATC content starts around 15:05. To support Shortcomings, visit us at patreon.com/shortcomingspodcast. You'll get acce...
Boy, Interrupted 04.10.2023 56:04
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. We couldn't help but wonder...what's going on in season 6? We try to make sense of it all and get distracted a few times. Take a listen! SATC content begins @ ar...
A Woman's Right To Shoes 27.09.2023 1:05:50
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 det...
The Catch 20.09.2023 1:05:14
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. Sister Wives co...
The Post-It Always Sticks Twice & A Lil Sister Wives 13.09.2023 1:05:03
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 Excuse...
Hop, Skip, and a Week 06.09.2023 1:36:52
WARNING - this episode includes takes on the new season of RHOC and Taylor Swift that maybe we should have cut, but we didn't. It's (not) so hard to say goodbye as we bid adieu to Jack Berger, but we couldn't help but wonder...do we want to see him again? Meanwhile, we obsess over Charlotte's dating life, question Brady (as always), and stan Samantha...but maybe not her hat. It's a lot. Take a lis...
Lights, Camera, Relationship 30.08.2023 1:14:25
We're back in the loving arms of the original series and we couldn't be happier, but unfortunately this was recorded before the end of AJLT, so past Sam and Chris are going through it still. But luckily we have so much to discuss - Charlotte's angsty, Samantha takes on Smith's career, Carrie buys Berger a shirt, and Miranda is making those cupcakes. We mostly talk a lot about the Berger shirt. Tak...
The Last Supper Part Two: Entrée 25.08.2023 1:34:03
And Just Like That...we did it! We've made it to the end of s2 of our favorite-least favorite show. But before we get into that, we discuss new RHONY and the state of the streaming wars. Then we get into it all--the return of Samantha Jones (was it all worth it?), the reconciliation of Steve and Miranda, the continued winning of Kristin Davis, and the idea of leaving someone your bras. Oh an...
"The Last Supper" Part One: Appetizer 18.08.2023 1:33:11
And Just Like That...we're almost done, but before we leave this parallel universe we have to break down (and breakdown) Steve's new hot dogs and clams restaurant. We also discuss the exit of Stanford Blatch, the supremacy of Nicole Ari Parker's acting versus the writing, the continued Ls being handed to Miranda Hobbes, the joy of drunk Charlotte, and the utter terror of Aidan Shaw-Carrie Bradshaw...
There Goes The Neighborhood 11.08.2023 1:22:32
And Just Like That...we're shocked and aghast. This episode has a lot going on - Aidan and Carrie are moving in together (?), Brady and Lily hookup (?!), Ryan Serhant makes a guest appearance (?!?), and for some reason there's a cat in Carrie Bradshaw's apartment (?!?!). What else is there to do, but press play. Take a listen!
A Hundred Years Ago... 03.08.2023 1:13:02
And Just Like That...every one has lost their damn mind! Carrie is asking Big questions and we aren't sure how we feel about it. Miranda is back in the work place and eating disrespectful cookies. Charlotte is back in the original show to positive and negative returns. And, well, maybe Che is the star of this show. It's a lot! Take a listen. You can support Shortcomings by joining our Patreon at w...
February 14th 28.07.2023 1:19:49
And Just Like That...Aidan. Is. BACK! We get into it all--the weird structure of this episode, the introduction of Drew Barrymore into the SATC/AJLT cinematic universe, a new Italian poet, Charlotte's brownie adventure, Miranda's journey to the regency period, and Carrie and Seema's awkward scene. It's a whole lot going on this week! Take a listen. To support the podcast, visit us patreon.com/shor...
Bomb Cyclone 21.07.2023 1:35:19
It's episode 6 of And Just Like That season 2 and we have thoughts! Carrie is pondering her relationship with exes, Charlotte searches for the perfect condom, LTW continues to ascend, and Miranda Hobbes makes her grand return. To quote Dr. Naya Wallace, "this is something I'm interested in!" To support Shortcomings, you can join us over at Patreon .
