Girls - The Bounce
23/04/2026 | 1h 32 mins.
"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
Girls - Full Disclosure
06/03/2026 | 1h 40 mins.
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!
Girls - Gummies
24/02/2026 | 1h 15 mins.
And just when you thought we'd never discuss Girls again, here we are - it was a long hiatus, but we're back in Brooklyn and happy to be there. But before then, we catch up with Sam in the New York Snow Storm and try and remember exactly what happened on Paradise. And then we get into it all - Ray and Shosh's beautiful bond, Marnie's evolution, and the search of our queen Loreen. But, mostly, we're simply wondering why is Chris crying...
Girls - Painful Evacuation
16/01/2026 | 1h 19 mins.
This is maybe one of the episodes of GIRLS that shocked viewers when it originally aired, but how does it hold up? Before we answer that, we discuss internet trends and the Golden Globes. And then we discuss it all - Hannah's pregnancy reveal, Jessa and Adam's support systems, Marnie and Desi's final scene (perhaps?), and the Ray of it all. Take a listen!

Girls - American Bitch
09/01/2026 | 1h 33 mins.
What's this? An episode of Shortcomings where we dig deep and are serious just a little bit? But before that, we catch-up on what's going on in TV right now. And then we discuss Hannah's confrontation with famed writer Chuck Palmer. How does this episode re-frame Hannah's own behavior? What is the internet's evolving role in sexual politics? And, of course, that final moment.

About Shortcomings

It's June 6, 1998. The number one movie in the United States is 'The Truman Show.' NBC ruled television, with 'Friends,' 'E.R.', and 'Seinfeld' dominating the ratings. Brandy and Monica were on top of the music charts, and, oh, and 'Sex and the City' aired its first episode. Welcome to 'Shortcomings,' a new 'Sex and the City' podcast from Sam Bush (aka @bravohistorian) and Chris Lewis. They're going all-in on our problematic fave — the memories, the men, the fashion, and, of course, Aidan's obsession with KFC. Sam and Chris will recap all 92 episodes of the series, two movies, and whatever the revival is. So grab a cosmo and join Sam and Chris in taking a critical eye to a show that changed television.
