Happy Fifth Anniversary, Shortcomings!

We recorded this episode shortly after the midterm blue wave and boy we were flying high, while also still discussing what we didn't like about online discourse (duh) and the real more question of the day: to brick or not to brick. Then we get into an episode we think is quite interesting. Are we ready to go to the golf course with Richard or hang back in Stars Hollow with Lorelei? Only listening will let you know!

Our fuzzy alarm clock went off right on time to cover the second episode of Gilmore girls, but before that we catch up on Twilight, The Hunger Games, and the state of pop stars and podcasts, airBNB, and the new Craig Conover movie. And for whatever time is left we discuss this iconic, but maybe snoozy, episode of Gilmrore girls. Take a listen and we're sorry!

Where we lead, you will follow. The time has truly come! We gathered to kick-off our newest Shortcomings series: Gilmore girls. And boy - well girl - did it not disappoint. But, of course, before that we get into Chris' reaction to You Can See Everything. If you want to hear Sam's thoughts and longer chat...Patreon Bonus Episode Out! And then we get into our own personal histories with the show (some real, some constructed) and break down the pilot: the cozy comfort, our thoughts on the cold open and how it compares to Felicity, the Gilmore dynamic and the special sauce that makes this show just work. Welcome back to our little corner of the world!

Did you miss us? Because we missed you! Shortcomings is coming back this fall to begin our descent into the magic and the madness of Gilmore girls. So, of course, we gathered to discuss what...everything but Gilmore girls. Stay tuned, we'll be back VERY soon covering Season 1 of Gilmore girls!

This week marks 5 years of true nonsense, so we did what we thought was best - we gathered to discuss the pilot of the show that brought us all together: Sex and the City. But before that, we discuss The Odyssey now that we've both seen it. So, what can you expect other than an epic mash-up of Carrie Bradshaw and Odysseus.

It's so hard to say goodbye...or is it? Today we gather to discuss two monumental finales - the final episode of Girls and Summer House s10. We get into the fallout from The Aftermath and try and process the last few weeks of insanity. And then we get into it all with our Girls - and mostly discuss depictions of motherhood, the power of Loreen, and everything in between. We have loved this journey, thanks for taking it on with us!

They say it's hard to say goodbye, but is it? We dig into the penultimate episode of Girls this week, but before that we touch on the LA Mayoral Race and the state of reality stars. And then we discuss everything else - Hannah's iconic look, the impact of the final bathroom scene, and how we feel about Elijah. Take a listen!

We've landed on a GIRLS classic episode that we've wanted to discuss since s1 - Adam and Hannah rekindle their romance, alongside Ray's introduction to Abigail and an iconic needle drop. Take a listen!

"She'll do all she can, for the love of one man, and for millions who love from afar. I'm what you've been needing, It's all here and my heart's pleading...let me be your star...." For some reason, Girls has entered the land of musical theater, so of course, we spend some time discussing Buffy, cult docs, RHOM, and so much more.And then we get into the episode - we learn about pawn shops with Marnie, go to Broadway with Elijah, and find ourselves at home with Hannah and Dill. It's a girls night IN!Girls content begins at 49:00

Adam and Jessa's film is finished, Desi is back, Elijah is acting, and Hannah is going through it, but before any of that - we, of course, discuss our financial practices through the lens of streaming services and the new season of Beverly Hills with a side of Summer House. And then we simply, can't help but ask some serious questions. Should Hannah tell the father? What's going on in New Jersey? And is Jessa leading with her heart? Answers come and go!
