And Just Like That, the sequel to the beloved series Sex and the City on MAX (formerly HBO) is returning for its 2nd season on June 22, 2023. Before it starts we thought we would review the highlights of season 1 and discuss our feelings about that season and about what's to come in season 2. We are joined by Brooke's 20 year old daughter Layla to get some perspective from a younger generation, particularly about how the sequel treats issues realted to race and the LGBTQIA+ community. When Sex and the City premiered in 1998 it was a very different time. Even when it ended in 2004 it was still a very different time, almost 20 years ago. And Just Like That is trying to catch it up to present day, but how well are they doing? It's a lively discussion, join us!

In the season 3 finale the Brown family is blessed with their 17th child, Solomon. Baby Solomon was 2 weeks overdue so half of the episode is comprised of random scenes that looked like the producers were desperately filling time. The teens had multiple scenes where they continued to complain about Vegas, Robyn assembled a pack n' play by herself while talking to the camera and later goes to the chiropractor. The wives have lunch, Christine makes a gift for Robyn as a "peace offering" and Meri recounts her fertility struggles. It goes on and on. But finally, Robyn goes into labor and after some very cringy scenes Solomon is born, healthy and happy, and all is well. The whole family comes over in the middle of the night to see him and in the final scene Robyn offers to be a surrogate for Meri and Kody if they want another baby.

In this Apple TV documentary actor Michael J. Fox shares his life from childhood to the present day and the harsh realities of living with Parkinson's disease. Anyone of a certain age knows Fox first and foremost as Alex P. Keaton, the precocious young Republican teen on Family Ties in the 1980's. He then graduated to full movie star status as Marty McFly in Back to the Future. America fell in love with him. At 29 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease which he kept a secret for 7 years. He then turned his focus to his family and raising money for Parkinson's research, raising over 2 billion dollars so far. Fox's ability to stay focused and positive with the love and support of his wife Tracey Pollan and his children is remarkable. This is an uplifting story in a time when such a thing is hard to find.

TW: This epoisode contains discussion about religious cults and child physical and sexual abuse.
This docuseries currently streaming on Amazon Prime explores the controversial Duggar Family, who starred in TLC's reality show 19 Kids and Counting. Not only does the movie address the family's behaviors, including olderst son Josh Duggar's history of child sexual abuse, but it also dives into Bill Gothard and the cult-like practices of his church, The Institute in Basic Life Principle (IBLP). TLC sanitized the Duggar's dedication to the fringe teachings of Bill Gothard. Exploitation of children, both sexual and otherwise, is endemic in Gothard's organization and teachings.

In this episode we discuss the new MAX documentary Bama Rush, about the sorority recruitment process at the University of Alabama. In the fall of 2021 PNM (potential new members) were posting on TikTok about their OOTD (outfit of the day) and their experiences going through sorority rush at UA and it became a phenomenon. The documentary primarily focuses on the more problematic parts of the recruitment process by following four yong women going through the process. It also features the problematic history of the Greek system at UA. We also talk about our own experiences of going through rush and being in a sorority.

Anna Nicole Smith was one of the most talked about pop culture icons of the 90's. You Don't Know Me goes beyond tabloid narratives and tells the story of a complex, fame seeking woman who in the end was not very likeable in our opinion. Far from a redemption story, the documentary gives an unfiltered look at her life as told by the people who know her before she was famous.
