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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-18T08:19:48.246590+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124"},"episode":{"title":"Girls - Japan","slug":"girls-japan","published_at":"2025-09-17T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124/girls-japan","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/shortcomings-4488124","url":"https://shortcomings.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/061ba805-54bf-49c9-8a48-43116a0c38bf.mp3","summary":"Just when we thought we were spending all our time abroad, we find ourselves tethered to Brooklyn. But before Girls, we discuss the way too toxic discourse and Alexia Umansky's wedding has one of us HEATED. Then we get into it all - Shosh is lost in translation, Jessa and Adam are cute, and Hannah is on some sort of tirade.
