Girls Rewatch: Sex and the City

TV writer Raina Morris (Emily in Paris) is here to discuss all things taboo for SATC S2E12, “La Douleur Exquise!”

It’s happening. Carrie is in the doorway with the riding crop and Big is telling her to not get Carried Away.

In even more iconic moments from this episode, Will Arnett defies gravity to give Miranda head in a cab, Stanford boldly acts on his sweet-as-pie underwear fetish, Charlotte gets Art of the Dealed in a shoe store, and Carrie finally faces her masochism fetish with her Big Beautiful Boyfriend.

We chat how, despite the haters, Carrie and Marnie won by being cringe, the concept of getting off at the birthplace of Huck Finn, how a cab is basically a threesome, and conspiracy theories on modern footwear.

Plus: Carrie’s continued Navy Seal torture tactics, Evan’s history with foot fetishes, Raina’s argument for embarrassing yourself as much as possible in front of a lover, and how this episode is the perfect encapsulation of the three themes for a young girl’s bedroom: heels, kiss mark, Eiffel Tower!

Follow @quakerraina and enjoy her beautiful archive while she abides by her Carried Away.

Our LA journey continues with our New York friend, actor and comedian Charles Hsu! Crack open those science textbooks (if they allow them at your school) because we’re talking SATC S2E11, “Evolution.”

Miranda embarrasses herself at the gyno and discovers she has a lazy ovary, Samantha attempts to get the upper hand with the man who broke her heart (Blair Waldorf’s gay dad,) Carrie tries to secure a drawer in Big’s apartment, and Charlotte lives out Evan and Amelia’s shared dream of dating a gay guy.

We talk sparkle straights v. masc gays, Carrie’s apparent poor circulation, the internalized misogyny of judging another woman for freezing her eggs, and believing in life after love (Cher is such a survivor!)

Plus: our pitch for Zendaya’s next Big Movie, a pulse check on where scrunchies are in the culture, and Samantha’s millennial optimism.

Genius hosts of Sexy Unique Podcast Lara Marie Schoenhals and Carey O’Donnell are in the stu to chat SATC S2E10, “The Caste System.”

Carrie gets a purse instead of an “I love you” from Big and goes full brat mode at an UES party, Miranda is once again blamed for being successful when Steve can’t handle a suit gift, Samantha dates a probable human trafficker, and Charlotte forgets her Connecticut roots as she fucks a movie star in the back of a limo.

We host the great debate about the Judith Leiber purse, share our craving for a Serena Bush spinoff, mourn how Covid killed suit culture, and realize how JFK Jr. is the Madame Web of the SATC universe (his web connects them all.)

Plus: feuding with something you share a name with, Lara’s brush with an AIM predator & subsequent cyberbullying, step-mom propaganda, appreciation hour for Charlotte, and Evan gets one step closer to pierced ears.

If you too are a genius, listen to SUP, follow @ecareeyo and @larzmarie, subscribe to Carey’s substack Gay Doctor, and enjoy your beautifully improved life!

Can a man change? Yes, but not in the way you want!

Actress and upcoming elite podcaster Mina Le helps us come to this conclusion and more by chatting through SATC S2E9, “Old Dogs, New Dicks.”

Carrie hides her real concerns about Big’s wandering eye with a cigar metaphor, Charlotte naively thinks her guy is getting cut just for her, Miranda and Steve can’t align their sleep schedules, and Samantha is confronted with the sincerest form of flattery: an ex is paying homage to her in drag.

We discuss our personal journeys with checking out hotties (PSA- they are people too!) Carrie’s revolutionary Cookie Monster PJ set, the concept of a sex schedule, and the Sisyphean plight of trying to change a man in the way you want to.

Plus: Evan’s mouse trauma, our best Steve impressions, and nostalgia for T-Shirt slogans of the past.

Follow @gremlita for her next moves and hopefully an update on the 40-year-old casting call.

Another tragedy has befallen Girls Rewatch- Evan’s mic didn’t record so please forgive us for the sub-optimal listening experience! We continue to lol through it all.

Our West Coast reporting continues with LA Legend Ali Macofsky as we get into SATC S2E8, “The Man, the Myth, the Viagra.”

Samantha test-drives sex with an old coot, Carrie proves the haters right and ditches Miranda for Veal Night at Big’s, Steve is introduced in such a hot way, and Charlotte is sort of just there.

We catch up with Ali about how LA is sexless and the epicenter of looksmaxxing, reminisce over Evan’s first kiss (on the Amtrak!) and realize how working at a dry bar is the natural next step for a babysitter.

After surviving the Trump jump-scare and note how he subscribes to the pop star theory of never repeating hairstyles, we discuss how Frank Sinatra is Big’s Sabrina Carpenter, laud Miranda’s lotion acting, and decide on our age ranges for lovers.
