<v Speaker 1>Why was it she eating pussy at this episode? The bosses? Anything?

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>But why did we have to go through that or

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>hook up with one of those girls and then get

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>sued ver sexual flossment?

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Like that's a great PLOTLINEU.

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>She's sheen ami no ma ma yo?

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>What is your child trauma?

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I am.

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Your's going down the floor like.

0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 4>Round.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Like a Virgin, the show where we give

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>yesterday's pop culture today's takes.

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm Rose DomU and I'm Fran Toronto.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so how do we feel about the eight and

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>of it all? Because I you know, I wasn't sure

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>if the show was trying to make it look like

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they were moving too fast or trying to romanticize how

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>fast they were moving, But either way, I thought they

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>had really good chemistry and it bred is like believable

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>to me of two people picking up a relationship for

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the third time and really just speed running it.

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It's one hundred percent real, right. The realism of the show,

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I think is sometimes strong suit and more often than

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 2>not the thing that makes it really boring, you know,

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 2>like Aiden coming into the fold right now and Carrie

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>calling them immediately a wei so to speak. As Sema said,

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>She's like, look, you're a we now, which I think

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>was a really effective line, like this is a real

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>quarrel that real friends go through. And I was like,

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>everything about this feels earned. My issue with aid In

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>and other plot loin plot points like him PLoP plot loins.

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's say that everything about Aiden and what happened, I'm

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>so fried. Can you even hear? You can kind of

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>hear in my voice that I I lost it a

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>little throat, Yeah, I lost it during all invasion, I

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of lout giving.

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually think.

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It's even better, Like I think I sound a little swaffed,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>like a little you know what I mean, like just swuffed.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 4>Well you sound clock here, Oh wow wow now we okay, okay,

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 4>But much like what you said, like what you said

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 4>was extremely unpredictable, and I just I wish the show

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 4>were unpredictable.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Everything about Aiden in the show can be predicted. I

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>could write now how he's going to be written off,

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen between him and Carry, what the

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 2>core tensions are going to be. I can figure out,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>like based on what Miranda is doing at the HRC,

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I can predict what's going to happen there. I feel

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like Charlotte getting a job back in gallery. Stuff that's

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>extremely that we could have predicted that Slash probably did

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>predict that. Like all of these things are things that

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>we we know enough about the characters to actually really

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>lay out the plotline. Same thing with Jada is like

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>we knew how they were gonna go.

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 3>You predicted the animal rescue shelter.

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Well that I could never have predicted.

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 3>But that's the thing, is like this is your unpredictable Yeah,

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 3>at least this week, it only existed in service of

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Carrie's plot line, Like there were no solo scenes of

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 3>cha except for that one where they were wandering around

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Carrie's apartment, which I did kind of enjoy that because

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>and I almost wanted more of it of Chae being.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Like who the fuck is this woman? Yeah that I'm

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>weird randomly friends with why at her apartment.

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And like Carriere correcting people's like for their pronoun usage,

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, oh my god, Like again, it's like

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>a good ally for dummies, like a ward.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>But like I don't I don't understand why that you

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>have such a problem with that though, because like it's

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>good that she corrected.

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>It is good. It's just why is this in the scene. So, like,

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>if it's in the scene, if the writers have put

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 2>the intent to put this in the scene, that means

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>they are trying to say something about pronoun courtesy and

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>how to address people properly in a workplace. And that

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. And this show, why would anybody care? As

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 2>a Sex and the City viewer, it has nothing to

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.679
<v Speaker 2>do with the Sex and the City.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Scene about pronouns, you know.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I think I think that line actually like

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>mostly existed for the joke of Aiden lying into the

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>neighbor and saying they them, which I think actually was

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 1>a funny payoff for that moment.

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think it was that funny. But if it

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>was just for that joke, like, that's fine. I I

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm rounding up to a point here about just predictability,

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>And for me, it's like predictability and also the kind

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of tea the pedantic nature that I'm talking about, Like

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 2>like in the original Sex and the City, the show

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 2>can be very teaserly, right, Like, the show can be

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 2>very like these things are good and these these things

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.359
<v Speaker 2>are bad, and this is what the show believes like

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the show had core tenants that it kind of ran

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>by and believed in. And I think that it's okay

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 2>for a show to believe in something or to be

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 2>a kind of how to blah blah blah for dummies.

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>But in the previous iteration of the show, the things

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>it was teaching about were sex, intimacy, misogyny, like how

0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>to make it in a certain kind of workplace as

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a woman, how to be messy while also like sticking

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the landing. Like those are things that I think made

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 2>the show really exciting. And the unpredictable elements were the sex, right,

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we just don't have the unpredictable sexual

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>rockecy grompy kind of elements of in just like that.

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Like when Sima was in bed with that guy and

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>he pulled out a penis pump, I was like, this

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>is the show, Like I never could have predicted that

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 2>this guy would have pulled out a penis pump, right.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Even though that's a plotline from like nineteen ninety YXT.

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes it's fine, but it's but it still could

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>not have been predicted. And that is the show to me,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 2>That's what the show I should be doing.

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>I get what you mean. And I do think the

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>moment where this episode succeeded the most and where it

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>felt the most like the show I wanted it to be,

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 1>was also the moment that I could have predicted the least,

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>which was Carrie asking Miranda that question was big, a

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>big mistake? Like that was something I didn't see coming

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>and like, should essentially be like the central question of

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>this season, Carrie is entire relationship with Aiden and should

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>fan outwards to impact the other character, you know, like

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of It is really exciting to have a storyline in

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>which this woman whose husband died like gets back together

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>with an old love and then thinks like, oh, was

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>my whole life a mistake? Should I just have been

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>with this guy all along? Like that is a worthwhile

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>question for this show to ponder, and I do wish

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>it was more interested in that and less interested in,

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, Miranda trying to be a good ally or

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>whatever the fuck?

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't care about big so I

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>care less about that question, but I agree it would

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>be way more interesting than whatever it is they are

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>spending time on. I just think that it's too it's

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>still too self helpy, like the self helpy quality to

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>the large majority of the plotlines in every episode really

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>bums me out. I do still feel like it's very predictable.

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 2>And Carrie reconciling her relationship with Aiden now, the rekindling

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>with Now looks like in the context of Big is

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 2>still trodden territory.

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>To me.

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like in the first scene when she's laying in

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 2>bed with Aiden and she like propped up, she like

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>puts her feet on his chest, which is so hot.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I like wanted to be like I just wanted to

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>be like I wanted to Yes, I wanted to be

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 2>like Aaron, put your whole put her whole Fern, Aaron,

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>whatever the fuck his name is, Aiden, Aiden, put her

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>whole foot in your mouth, in your mouth. I was like,

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 2>if he if he like put his head down, put

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:41.680
<v Speaker 2>his entire mouth over her foot, but you feet listen.

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Sucked.

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Sucked, sucked. And then the rest of the episode is

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Carrie being like, I can't believe Big suck my toes.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>That is an episode of TV. I would be on

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the edge of my seat f I.

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But that's just not the show that I don't care.

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. And also, you know, you know, her

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>feet are gnarly from wearing all those heels as yeah, honey,

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I her toes are jacked if you want to hear

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>all of our thoughts. But men just like that go

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 1>to patroon dot com, slash like a virgin and become

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a patron
