We Couldn’t Help But Wonder – A Journey Through Sex and the City
Mike Jensen has seen the Sex and the City series many times. Elise Castle has never seen a single episode.
“We Couldn’t Help But Wonder” what would happen if these two went on an episode by episode journey through the whole series.
Join us as Mike watches for the (insert embarrassing number here) time and Elise is watching for the very first. We will discuss how the series holds up almost 20 years later, our own experiences living in NYC, and the debate over too much cranberry juice in the Cosmopolitan.
S10 Ep3: Sex and the City the Movie 2: Part Three
Dec 20, 2020
Show notes
Elise and Mike wrap up their coverage of the second (and final?) Sex and the City movie! Carrie and Miranda manage to avoid the "forbidden experience," but that's about all that goes well for our ladies as Carrie and especially Samantha make a series of bad decisions that will eventually lead to a hasty retreat from the Middle East and back to NYC where Carrie will have to deal with the ramifications of her choices. It's a mixed bag, and Elise and Mike both agree this section could have benefited form some healthy cutting, but join in as they finish up this journey. For now...
