Speaker 1: So here's a little treat.
Speaker 3: So group therapy for and just like that viewers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what this is. This is group therapy.
Speaker 1: So the support group. The thing that and just like
Speaker 1: that is most effective at is making me want to
Speaker 1: watch of the City not being a good TV show
Speaker 1: because I fucking hated this episode oh so much. Wow,
Speaker 1: and you know a lot you know that this season
Speaker 1: I have been in many ways and and just like
Speaker 1: that apologist and have really been searching for the good
Speaker 1: and baby, there was nothing good about this episode.
Speaker 2: It was bad and the words of Ticket and Sarah.
Speaker 2: Where does the good go? Where did the god? What? Okay?
Speaker 1: Why do I do this with you?
Speaker 2: Okay, So not to be me, but I this is
Speaker 2: an episode that I actually really a lot. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie I hate you, but you so you know.
Speaker 2: I actually thought you were gonna like it. Same thing
Speaker 2: with Barbie. I really thought you were gonna like it.
Speaker 2: I thought that we were gonna be on the same
Speaker 2: page again. But it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not. Let me little friend, and we are always
Speaker 1: going to disagree about everything.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna defend the Barbie movie. Let me be clear
Speaker 2: about something. I have no interest in defending this Like.
Speaker 2: This isn't something where I'm like it was amazing. It's
Speaker 2: just like, Oh, that was an episode of TV that
Speaker 2: did not make me, did not make my skin crawl
Speaker 2: from head to toe. Outside of the moment when Cynthia
Speaker 2: Nixon said lgbt QI a.
Speaker 1: Dating sites, I could I never needed to hear Cynthia
Speaker 1: Nixon utter that acronym, and I wish I could scrub
Speaker 1: my brain out so I didn't have to experience it.
Speaker 1: I am just so furious that they have been fucking
Speaker 1: teasing us all season about Aiden coming back. We've been
Speaker 1: teasing us for months, for almost a year at this point,
Speaker 1: and then he was in the last eight minutes of
Speaker 1: the episode or less potentially, and then there's only like
Speaker 1: three episodes left of the season.
Speaker 2: Do you think he's gonna be in the next three episode?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to be in the rest
Speaker 1: of them heavily. But the fact that he was barely
Speaker 1: in this one, this is the thing that I keep
Speaker 1: coming back to. Carrie Bradshaw is a tertiary side character
Speaker 1: in the series. She is the protagonist of and instead
Speaker 1: the protagonist seems to be LTW and her son and
Speaker 1: his slutty high school girlfriend.
Speaker 2: It feels like one of the reasons that Michael Patrick
Speaker 2: King decided to rename the franchise, right, it's not Sex
Speaker 2: and the City the reboot, it's a new show called
Speaker 2: and just like that. I think that is in part
Speaker 2: because he wanted people like us to like not compare
Speaker 2: the two and so like and just like that, I
Speaker 2: feel like it's go I know, right exactly, And I
Speaker 2: was like, I also feel like he's trying to make
Speaker 2: and just like that more of like an ensemble piece.
Speaker 2: So it's like about all these characters that we don't
Speaker 2: really give a fuck about. It's like, I don't care
Speaker 2: that Chadeas is now going to be working at like
Speaker 2: a pet adoption. Are you.
Speaker 1: That? Are you me? It was bad enough that last
Speaker 1: week we had Chay in a plotline with Harry, but
Speaker 1: now we're going to get solo scenes of Chay and
Speaker 1: it's about all like rescuing dogs. They every time they
Speaker 1: introduced a new side character who I'm not interested in,
Speaker 1: that character then gets like two other characters with them
Speaker 1: to create even more plots that I never want to see.
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize it was dogs. I thought it
Speaker 3: was like supposed to be like the lg ME tea setters.
Speaker 1: Well because well because you know, yeah, yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 1: And that Miranda, well okay, that was the one part
Speaker 1: of the episode that I did enjoy was the fact
Speaker 1: that Miranda's love interest in this episode it was played
Speaker 1: was played by Miriam Shore from Younger, which is another
Speaker 1: horrible show, but the one that I enjoyed a lot
Speaker 1: much more than I'm just like that. So her showing
Speaker 1: up is this lesbian audiobook narrator who does like Dike
Speaker 1: pride of Prejudice reads like I don't understand. To me,
Speaker 1: the math is not mathing there because like women who
Speaker 1: are horny for Pride and Prejudice are like horny for
Speaker 1: mister Darcy and not Mixed Darcy. So it just made
Speaker 1: no sense. And then I did I guess I liked
Speaker 1: the realism of her shitty little New York City studio,
Speaker 1: but it just I am so continuously confused and disappointed
Speaker 1: by this damn TV show.
Speaker 2: I have so many different things running through my head,
Speaker 2: but first and foremost, Phoebe, what do we think about
Speaker 2: Mixed Darcy? And what do we and do we think
Speaker 2: Miranda's a lesbian?
Speaker 3: I felt like at home in Sex and the City
Speaker 3: because it was yet another offensive portrayal of a lesbian.
Speaker 3: It's like the one lesbian, the first lesbian Miranda dates
Speaker 3: like steps in cap poop while they're making out, Like I.
Speaker 1: Just it could not be. It could not be more
Speaker 1: of a lesbian stereotype if I.
Speaker 3: Think lesbians know how to not step in their own
Speaker 3: litter box, like come on.
Speaker 2: And also what I did not I was like she
Speaker 2: was hot a flip it like this?
Speaker 1: What I did like about it was that it felt
Speaker 1: like an og sex in the city, romantic subplot like
Speaker 1: a boyfriend of the a a girlfriend of the week.
Speaker 1: You know, in this new world where Miranda is a lesbian,
Speaker 1: we don't know. I mean, I don't think Carrie should
Speaker 1: be making lesbian jokes as freely as she is. I mean,
Speaker 1: the streatest woman in existence, she's really like saying them
Speaker 1: with her whole chest. Oh yeah, and Miranda is clearly
Speaker 1: not deep enough in her queerness to be like, you
Speaker 1: actually can't say that, but I want her to stand
Speaker 1: up for herself. If you want to hear all of
