• 0:11
  Speaker 1: But why did we have to go through that or
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hook up with one of those girls and then get
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: sued ver sexual flossment?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Like that's a great PLOTLINEU.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: She's sheen ami no ma ma yo?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: What is your child trauma?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Your's going down the floor like.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Round.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Like a Virgin, the show where we give
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: yesterday's pop culture today's takes.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I'm Rose DomU and I'm Fran Toronto.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so how do we feel about the eight and
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of it all? Because I you know, I wasn't sure
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: if the show was trying to make it look like
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: they were moving too fast or trying to romanticize how
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: fast they were moving, But either way, I thought they
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: had really good chemistry and it bred is like believable
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to me of two people picking up a relationship for
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the third time and really just speed running it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent real, right. The realism of the show,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I think is sometimes strong suit and more often than
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: not the thing that makes it really boring, you know,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like Aiden coming into the fold right now and Carrie
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: calling them immediately a wei so to speak. As Sema said,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: She's like, look, you're a we now, which I think
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: was a really effective line, like this is a real
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: quarrel that real friends go through. And I was like,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: everything about this feels earned. My issue with aid In
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and other plot loin plot points like him PLoP plot loins.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Let's say that everything about Aiden and what happened, I'm
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: so fried. Can you even hear? You can kind of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: hear in my voice that I I lost it a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: little throat, Yeah, I lost it during all invasion, I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: kind of lout giving.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I actually think.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's even better, Like I think I sound a little swaffed,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: like a little you know what I mean, like just swuffed.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Well you sound clock here, Oh wow wow now we okay, okay,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: But much like what you said, like what you said
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: was extremely unpredictable, and I just I wish the show
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: were unpredictable.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Everything about Aiden in the show can be predicted. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: could write now how he's going to be written off,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: what's going to happen between him and Carry, what the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: core tensions are going to be. I can figure out,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like based on what Miranda is doing at the HRC,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I can predict what's going to happen there. I feel
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: like Charlotte getting a job back in gallery. Stuff that's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: extremely that we could have predicted that Slash probably did
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: predict that. Like all of these things are things that
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: we we know enough about the characters to actually really
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: lay out the plotline. Same thing with Jada is like
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we knew how they were gonna go.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You predicted the animal rescue shelter.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Well that I could never have predicted.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But that's the thing, is like this is your unpredictable Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: at least this week, it only existed in service of
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Carrie's plot line, Like there were no solo scenes of
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: cha except for that one where they were wandering around
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Carrie's apartment, which I did kind of enjoy that because
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and I almost wanted more of it of Chae being.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Like who the fuck is this woman? Yeah that I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: weird randomly friends with why at her apartment.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And like Carriere correcting people's like for their pronoun usage,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my god, Like again, it's like
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a good ally for dummies, like a ward.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But like I don't I don't understand why that you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have such a problem with that though, because like it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: good that she corrected.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It is good. It's just why is this in the scene. So, like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: if it's in the scene, if the writers have put
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the intent to put this in the scene, that means
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: they are trying to say something about pronoun courtesy and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: how to address people properly in a workplace. And that
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. And this show, why would anybody care? As
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: a Sex and the City viewer, it has nothing to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: do with the Sex and the City.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Scene about pronouns, you know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think I think that line actually like
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: mostly existed for the joke of Aiden lying into the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: neighbor and saying they them, which I think actually was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a funny payoff for that moment.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was that funny. But if it
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: was just for that joke, like, that's fine. I I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I'm rounding up to a point here about just predictability,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And for me, it's like predictability and also the kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of tea the pedantic nature that I'm talking about, Like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like in the original Sex and the City, the show
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: can be very teaserly, right, Like, the show can be
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: very like these things are good and these these things
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: are bad, and this is what the show believes like
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the show had core tenants that it kind of ran
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: by and believed in. And I think that it's okay
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: for a show to believe in something or to be
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a kind of how to blah blah blah for dummies.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: But in the previous iteration of the show, the things
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it was teaching about were sex, intimacy, misogyny, like how
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to make it in a certain kind of workplace as
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a woman, how to be messy while also like sticking
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the landing. Like those are things that I think made
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the show really exciting. And the unpredictable elements were the sex, right,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like we just don't have the unpredictable sexual
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: rockecy grompy kind of elements of in just like that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Like when Sima was in bed with that guy and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he pulled out a penis pump, I was like, this
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is the show, Like I never could have predicted that
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this guy would have pulled out a penis pump, right.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Even though that's a plotline from like nineteen ninety YXT.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes it's fine, but it's but it still could
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: not have been predicted. And that is the show to me,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That's what the show I should be doing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I get what you mean. And I do think the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: moment where this episode succeeded the most and where it
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: felt the most like the show I wanted it to be,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: was also the moment that I could have predicted the least,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: which was Carrie asking Miranda that question was big, a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: big mistake? Like that was something I didn't see coming
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and like, should essentially be like the central question of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this season, Carrie is entire relationship with Aiden and should
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: fan outwards to impact the other character, you know, like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of It is really exciting to have a storyline in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: which this woman whose husband died like gets back together
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: with an old love and then thinks like, oh, was
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my whole life a mistake? Should I just have been
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: with this guy all along? Like that is a worthwhile
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: question for this show to ponder, and I do wish
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it was more interested in that and less interested in,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you know, Miranda trying to be a good ally or
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: whatever the fuck?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't care about big so I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: care less about that question, but I agree it would
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: be way more interesting than whatever it is they are
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: spending time on. I just think that it's too it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: still too self helpy, like the self helpy quality to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the large majority of the plotlines in every episode really
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: bums me out. I do still feel like it's very predictable.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And Carrie reconciling her relationship with Aiden now, the rekindling
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: with Now looks like in the context of Big is
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: still trodden territory.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: To me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: It's like in the first scene when she's laying in
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: bed with Aiden and she like propped up, she like
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: puts her feet on his chest, which is so hot.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I like wanted to be like I just wanted to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be like I wanted to Yes, I wanted to be
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: like Aaron, put your whole put her whole Fern, Aaron,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: whatever the fuck his name is, Aiden, Aiden, put her
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: whole foot in your mouth, in your mouth. I was like,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: if he if he like put his head down, put
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: his entire mouth over her foot, but you feet listen.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Sucked.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Sucked, sucked. And then the rest of the episode is
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Carrie being like, I can't believe Big suck my toes.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: That is an episode of TV. I would be on
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the edge of my seat f I.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But that's just not the show that I don't care.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't care. And also, you know, you know, her
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: feet are gnarly from wearing all those heels as yeah, honey,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I her toes are jacked if you want to hear
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: all of our thoughts. But men just like that go
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to patroon dot com, slash like a virgin and become
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a patron
