And just like that... Carrie found her necklace (and herself)! In their last episode of season three, Emma and Shannon discuss Part Deux of the SATC finale, An American Girl in Paris. In part two of our recap we discuss families, from Juliet and Chloe of Château Petrovsky to Miranda and Steve’s Ma of the House of Hobbes, Charlotte and Harry&#39;s adoption struggles, and the place friendships hold in it all. Smith? King. Petrovsky? Accidental Slapper. The French Bookstore People? Instant friends. Mr Big? John James Preston. Carrie&#39;s final monologue? You must mean... Shannon&#39;s grade 12 graduation quote. We’re just two people looking for real love. &lt;3

It&#39;s the beginning of the end... of our season! Emma and Shannon are talking about the iconic two-part series finale of Sex and the City: An American Girl in Paris in, naturally, two parts. In part one, we discuss feeling lonely and homesick in another city, callbacks to earlier seasons, some misty-eyed feelings about friends, the trend of the series towards softness and romance, and the pure love of Smith and Sam (SMAM?)! Did Carrie really visit every museum twice? Would it have been the same if she went to Paris with Big in season 2? Il fait chaud!

Emma and Shannon recap S2E6 &#34;The Cheating Curve,&#34; where Charlotte&#39;s date rudely makes out with a model, Miranda dates a pretentious porn-addicted documentarian, Sam&#39;s gym trainer ventures down south with a razor, and Carrie pulls a few sneaky exists to secretly fonDUE Big. We ask, &#34;What IS cheating?&#34; and are perhaps left with more questions than answers. We also meet the parliament of &#34;Power Lesbians&#34; who have it all without men in the picture. We bow down!

Just as Aidan once cast aside his grill and declared &#34;Fuck the fajitas&#34; in the name of passion, Emma and Shannon are saying &#34;Fuck the theme&#34; in the name of discussing an episode we&#39;ve never talked about before. We revisit the classic season one episode &#34;The Turtle and the Hare&#34; and chat about one-off characters, sex toys, settling, and marrying your best friend. Digressions include Cool Ranch Doritos, mushrooms, and giant ugly candle decor. Join us (at the other singles table)!

At what point do you &#34;shut it down&#34; or &#34;proceed with caution&#34;? Emma and Shannon discuss relationship dealbreakers and red flags. Age? Maturity? Hygiene? Children? Smoking? Core values? Do they gel with your friends? Have a giant doll collection? A pet monkey? Do they only ever talk about cutting your hair? Let&#39;s get into it!

That's a Dealbreaker!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2024/3/21/18/ac684534-fc86-4308-8591-ffd17b6803c0_dhu-s306-v1.mp3

Oh Carrie, if his words said no, that means no! Emma and Shannon are discussing boundaries: a key part of adult relationships in every context, but far easier said than done. We discuss Carrie&#39;s stalking habit, the girls cutting Carrie off &#34;cold turkey,&#34; other boundaries both set and pushed throughout the show, and whether Carrie and Big are a match made in no boundaries heaven. While we also struggle with setting boundaries, join us in our aspiration to channel the power of Kim Cattrall&#39;s &#34;No.&#34; &lt;3

We don’t want to be in a situation for even an hour where boundaries aren't respected!

We&#39;ll be Scrutiny, you be Ridicule! Emma and Shannon are discussing conflict in friendships. From blowing off a bud for a piece of politically incorrect meat to sleeping with a friend&#39;s brother, every friendship is bound to incur a fight or two. How you handle it is what counts, and no, we don&#39;t condone a muffin basket.

When Friends Fight!

If life is a circus then let&#39;s discuss the elephant in the room: work. So much of our lives revolve around jobs, work dynamics, and pursuing careers. Are you a bonafide career go-getter like Miranda? Are you choosing your choice like Charlotte? Has your life, work, and pleasure become enmeshed like Carrie and Samantha? Do you seemingly have it figured out like Petrovsky? Wherever you&#39;re at, pencil Emma and Shannon in for a conversation about work that we promise is better than another email.

The "Wonderful" World of Work

Was Big a big mistake? Who knows, but Shoe Bradshaw sure wasn&#39;t. Emma and Shannon get into Part 2 of our AJLT S2 recap, starting from Miranda&#39;s date with Ms. Darcy, to Che&#39;s awful comedy set, to the last supper in Carrie&#39;s iconic apartment. Carrie is waiting for Aiden, Samantha is stuck in traffic indefinitely, and we&#39;re already waiting for Season 3.

And Just Like That... This is Annabelle Bronstein. (AJLT Season 2 Recap, Part 2)

We&#39;re ALIVE! And bringing Part 1 of our AJLT S2 recap! From the steps of the Met to cleaning up beach seaweed to fetching condoms in a blizzard, Emma and Shannon get into the thick of the first six episodes. Strap in. Strap on. We&#39;re headed to WidowCon.

And Just Like That... You Ruined the Family Scene! (AJLT Season 2 Recap, Part 1)

New year, new season, same us... well mostly! Emma and Shannon kick off S3 discussing the dimensions of reinvention. Can we revamp our identities with Florentine Peach bedsheets? Tap dancing classes? A new apartment, haircut, or change of a dress? Whether resolutions are your thing or if you are &#34;not giving up shit and resolve nothing&#34; à la Roxane Gay, you&#39;re worth a million and we support you doing you.

New Year? Same Us... Pretty Much!

Psst... did you hear? It was a full-frontal attack of the face! Emma and Shannon talk gossip, scuttlebutt, and rumours both on the show and behind the scenes. Is gossip good? Is it bad? Or is it just gab? Side conversations include Carrie&#39;s stalking behaviour, actors becoming their characters, the infamous SJP and Kim Cattrall feud, and the haunting eyes behind the movie poster for Tim Allen&#39;s 2006 masterpiece, the Shaggy Dog. Our babies are settled, massage wands returned, and we&#39;re ready to dish the dirt!

Flirtini? Tartini? Excuse you! We’d like a cheeseburger, large fries, and a Cosmopolitan! Emma and Shannon are discussing alcohol as an accessory, its relationship to wealth and class, and hot mess territory (that never warrants a passive-aggressive AA card).

Hello I'm Drunk!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/4/19/21/3748f260-26cd-40f6-ba0d-555b54b71228_dhu-s02-e11-v1.mp3

We brought the marijuana into the house and we&#39;re taking it with us when we leave! In a special 420 episode, Emma and Shannon are toking about Carrie&#39;s infamous breakup doobie, Sam&#39;s Hawaiian Gold, sex on X, and other drugs in the SATC universe. Join us on a journey – a trip if you will – or we&#39;ll just meet you around the corner at Drown the Hound.

It Was The E, Carrie!

Pack your bags, listeners – you&#39;re coming to the country with us! Emma and Shannon discuss the great outdoors, Aidan&#39;s rustic cabin, getting stuck in the mud, appropriate footwear, and feeling out of your element. City life? Country life? Who knows, maybe we&#39;re all just rats in various cute outfits.

Are We City Squirrels or Country Rats?

Scout, Pete, Fatty, and Elizabeth Taylor have entered the chat... much to Carrie&#39;s dismay. Let&#39;s talk pets! Emma and Shannon are swiping right on dogs, left on rodents, and discussing the owners on the other end of the leash in the SATC universe. PETE KNEW!

Not in Front of the Puppy!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2023/3/9/5/bf2aed2e-ccbf-41a8-bc70-ba345920447c_dhu-s02-e08-v2.mp3

Emma and Shannon are grabbing the big candles and come full circle from discussing death to birthdays and all the mixed feelings about attention, celebration, aging, and expectations that come with them. Order us a couple of Shirley Temples and we&#39;ll see you at Il Cantinori... cc Friar Fuck.

What's the Deal With Birthdays?

From Charlotte and Trey to the wedding that&#39;s reduced to just gay, Emma and Shannon are discussing wedding ceremonies, speeches, outfits, and the Liza Minnelli of it all. We&#39;ll see you on the dance floor, Bunny MacDougal!

I Do... Believe in the Democracy of the Dance Floor!

*Contains various movie/TV spoilers! In a special Valentine&#39;s Day Minisode, Emma and Shannon rate famous love quotes as they compare to Big’s low-effort love fax/email based on our newly-created and highly-scientific &#34;email to heaven&#34; or &#34;fax to hell&#34; system.

Emma and &#34;Scannin&#39; Shannon&#34; are confronting their relationship ghosts and taking a dive into the Ex Files. Can Carrie and Big just be friends? Or should we run away and pretend exes don&#39;t exist, à la Miranda? Either way, we&#39;re walkin&#39;, talkin&#39;, scannin&#39;, and feeling hot. 🔥

Can Exes Be Friends?
