S3E30.5: Sex and the City 2
Added 2024-10-27 12:31:43 +0000 UTCYeah yeah I see your tv glowing, I see your people's joking, but it's my turn to pick the movie now and i raise you this. The most spiritually evil, vapid, breathtakingly solipsistic movie I have ever had the displeasure to watch. Sex and the city 2. I hope you're ready

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. They deserve to survive.

I've seen youtube videos were people talk about SatC and I feel like I'm having a stroke because they talk about how good the outfits are and the outfits looks like how I would dress my barbies at age 3
I hate christmas music so much
2025-09-28 15:44:17 +0000 UTCAbi not having heard of Liza Minelli is the biggest switch up of expectations I’ve had this month

2025-01-21 20:44:49 +0000 UTCI'd argue that the unprovoked violence should be higher, perhaps very high given the use and abuse of effectively slave labour and the jokey haha nature of "how could we do this without our slaves!". i don't think these are covered entirely by misogyny or cultural insensitivity either. like bond shoots misc dudes but it rarely endorces real life abuses of human rights as being funny/quirky

2024-12-30 21:36:25 +0000 UTCI'd never heard of Liza Minelli either, thanks for repping us honourably, Abi

2024-11-16 23:03:18 +0000 UTCThanks is "shokran." "Marhaba" is Welcome, so they're incorrect like they were with "yes" (which I've always heard pronounced "naam" rhyming with RomCom, or "ay" which is like "yeah")

2024-11-16 22:22:28 +0000 UTCDEVON not considering dog tooth part of the movies about making movies saga is disappointing.
Oror
2024-11-12 15:56:17 +0000 UTCNow I desperately want them to tackle the first film, though I know it can't pay off quite like this one because this one is an epic cosmological dumpster fire, but I do think there's some genuine amusement and analysis to be had by the crew in exploring this series backwards. Just a notion. Loved this. I needed the laughs.

Andrew Dunn
2024-11-01 10:11:22 +0000 UTCFun fact: the character of Erin was considered so racist here in Ireland that newspaper reviews specifically called the film out for it; it probably didn't help that she was played by Alice Eve (who I generally love as an actress but who is not exactly convincing as a Gael.)
Ross Nolan
2024-10-30 21:41:02 +0000 UTCI do get that. Hell I'm still closeted about being trans in the non-cyberspace 'real' world and I'm a decade older. That said and maybe it was my imagination but I did pick up a vibe Abi did seem out of sorts just generally this episode, even if I loved the dress story.
Ross Nolan
2024-10-30 21:38:01 +0000 UTCI would make any number of sacrifices to Cthulhu if it meant KJB did an episode on 'Josie & the Pussycats'. Honestly I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been a bonus pick at some point already.

2024-10-30 21:33:55 +0000 UTCJoe Sacco's Palestine is a classic bit of long form journalism I highly recommend it. (Although I think The Fixer is his best work)

2024-10-29 10:39:20 +0000 UTCMy local library has Mattie Lubchansky's graphic novel in the "political graphic novel" section where they also had graphic novels about Haiti, Che, and Palestine. I got a library card posthaste. Also, the hosts better spend several hours pronouncing "niqab" correctly, or they will start unironically saying "knee quab" Trump=Big=Hauntology? Mr BIG in Live and Let Die. Hmmm. The best dogging vehicle is the Popemobile

2024-10-29 02:31:12 +0000 UTCAt least when Josie and the Pussycats did all that blatant unpaid promotion for Target it was in the service of a funny bit.

2024-10-29 00:22:24 +0000 UTCWith that in mind, allow me to note that the out and out kafala system is illegal in Dubai, and there are some minuscule amount of worker’s rights on paper. Them being followed in practice *is another story.*
Ineloquent Reverie
2024-10-28 22:06:49 +0000 UTCI get the feeling that, as someone who lived in Dubai for a while, this is gonna be one of the most laser targeted episodes to get me in my feelings lmao
Ineloquent Reverie
2024-10-28 20:53:01 +0000 UTCThis was a lot of fun, and if you ever want to do ( or know of ) a Sex and the City podcast where they talk about the show God, you could do that.
Noblesse Oblahaj
2024-10-28 19:56:05 +0000 UTCI literally resubscribed to the Patreon for this. I know either Devon or Nova has made references to TWIoAT in previous episodes, so I'd hoped that they'd get the boiz on as guests for this one. After seeing it 58 times they could do a no-notes version without breaking a sweat! But perhaps it's for the best that we didn't subject them to yet another viewing of it.

Steve Red
2024-10-28 12:02:57 +0000 UTCI really feel Abi’s frustration when the group gang up on this one. Yeah, fair enough Liza Minelli is an icon but when you’re aggressively closeting yourself, you don’t pick this stuff up as you refuse to engage with it and when you do come out, that lingers around and you try and avoid it for fear of it being a stereotype.
The Curious Case of Caley V
2024-10-28 11:29:56 +0000 UTCI don't understand how Abi doesn't know who Liza minelli is, I've at least heard of her at 23 lmao

2024-10-28 03:05:38 +0000 UTCHearing a live reaction to a gay actress in her 30's being completely unaware of Liza Minnelli was revelatory; thank you for this moment.

2024-10-28 01:07:58 +0000 UTCI'm so here for Abi's fury over the head-covering jokes.
Consider Q-ing up TrashFuture’s Operation Clippy
2024-10-28 00:34:46 +0000 UTCThere's the implied violence directed towards all the indentured servants. I think Lindy West's review actually gave her career a good boost.

somehowmags
2024-10-27 23:55:14 +0000 UTCi used to be engaged to an unironic satc enjoyer and she made me watch both films (should have ended it then and there). this episode feels like an exorcism.

2024-10-27 19:16:03 +0000 UTC1. So glad Mattie pointed out theres no Jews in sex and the city. 2. This is the second time Abi has acknowledged not knowing who Liza Minelli is. WTAF.

2024-10-27 18:54:28 +0000 UTCI feel bad for people who only know SATC from anything after the original series. At least they were interestingly problematic in the series.
LizSwaff
2024-10-27 18:50:30 +0000 UTC1. Have Mattie on more, they are fantastic and their appearance on Goldeneye was one of the best guest spots! 2. November going "I never drink..." reference was fantastic and such a good joke!

Jack Philipson
2024-10-27 17:21:27 +0000 UTCI know who Liza Minnelli is, but only because of arrested development. The first episode of Doc Marten has an old woman asking him for too much estrogen cream which she rubs on her chest, which then rubs off on two of her lovers.
