S3E30.5: Sex and the City 2

Big hotels have newspapers from other countries and countries were drinking is restricted still let tourists get as drunk as they want because otherwise it would be bad for business. Has Abi never traveled to a non-english speaking country?

I feel a lot of solidarity with Abi's complete lack of knowledge of who Liza Minneli is

It's called Auntie Abby mode because she becomes the evil Bizzaro Anti-Abby

going back and re-listening to this after the sex and the City one episode is crazy

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

Abi not having heard of Liza Minelli is the biggest switch up of expectations I’ve had this month

I'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

I'd never heard of Liza Minelli either, thanks for repping us honourably, Abi

I never knew I needed the girls singing Johnny Cash but I did. I really did. 😂

The women of the world long in their hearts to purchase Product(tm)

Thanks 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")

DEVON not considering dog tooth part of the movies about making movies saga is disappointing.

Now 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.

"If it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid" - exception that proves the rule, the Selfie Stick. Incredibly stupid, you look like a fucking asshole when you're using one, but they do improve your selfies considerably.

So pleased someone else has watched that old Cracked video about the 4 Humours of TV characters ❤️

Fun 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.)

massachusetts gay marriage UNmention! we got it before NY and CT, in 2004! i remember because i was five when i attended my first lesbian wedding <3

so thoroughly forgot that abigail has a deadname that i spent several minutes going "is the musical…related to an upcoming project under embargo? did…did omid djalili Do Something? is there a second, illegal musical featuring the character omid played that you can’t mention publicly because of…ghost copyright?"

Titty O'Physics...felt like a real James Bond moment b/c that is a certifiable Bond Girl name if I ever heard one.

My 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

hearing "check out mattie lubchansky if you get the chance" i can't help but mentally autofill with "sound of the summer"

Liza Minnelli

Thanks for the jazz outro therapy Dev, I think I genuinely healed a bit hearing that

At least when Josie and the Pussycats did all that blatant unpaid promotion for Target it was in the service of a funny bit.

This 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.

I 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.

I looked up a pic of the hat and was physically jumpscared

Obviously Devon's halloween name is Demon

November re-enacting the flare scene from Platoon as the movie starts

If it's of any comfort to anyone, I have no idea who Liza Minelli is either. There's enough media out there to miss vast swathes of it.

Another movie that makes the classic blunder of reminding the audience that they could be watching a better movie.

as a listener to The Worst Idea of all Time, this one’s a wild ride

I 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.

I don't understand how Abi doesn't know who Liza minelli is, I've at least heard of her at 23 lmao

“Try walking into ‘women and nonbinary’ spaces looking like me” – god I FELLLLLLT that 😖

This comment is a petition for more 2 hour episodes

When you said Big was originally based on Trump I physically gagged 😖

Oh my god I just read boys weekend like last week because my comics professor has a signed copy of it !!! It was really good, and I loved Mattie’s insight here

Hearing a live reaction to a gay actress in her 30's being completely unaware of Liza Minnelli was revelatory; thank you for this moment.

I'm so here for Abi's fury over the head-covering jokes.

There's the implied violence directed towards all the indentured servants. I think Lindy West's review actually gave her career a good boost. "If this is what modern womanhood means, then just fucking veil me and sew up all my holes. Good night." https://www.thestranger.com/film/2010/05/27/4132715/burkas-and-birkins

very excited to listen to this as my only knowledge of this movie is a professor once using it as an example of orientalism

i 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.

Personally very keen on rescinding Abi's Liscence to Gay until you've made her watch Cabaret

"Ugh, I accidentally picked up a copy of the Staten Islander again" is why Mattie's all three hosts of Kill James Bond

All That Jazz (1979) reference 😍

I still think you should do Desperately Seeking Susan but you should bring Mattie on as it's both a New York and a being trans movie. Trust me.

Abi is like 2 years older than me and I know who Liza fucking manelli is!!

1. 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.

Hey look if you made a cropped I am woman hit me raw id buy that shit in a heartbeat

I feel bad for people who only know SATC from anything after the original series. At least they were interestingly problematic in the series.

1. 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!

Two hours and 10 minutes of mangling an awful film [sickos_Yes_YES.png]

This is WILD! WILD A fucking fever dream.

Coining the phrase “I am woman, hit me raw” = highlight of the year

I made the exact same object of power from control reference right before Dev haha

I think Persepolis would make an interesting companion piece to this if you haven't already done the next bonus episode.

I 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.

I almost died at Tittie O'Physics fuck i was drinking coffee

I'm sorry, this is the point where I started going "THEN COMRADES COME RALLY!"

I love the really deep movies and all but I also love trash and hearing you yell about trash. I'm going to really love this. I'm also really looking forward to Heat and all the dead cop jokes

can’t believe they resurrected Theo van Gogh to make the SATC sequel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdrjRBB8TA4 "shit liza minelli says"

Wasn't Liza Minnelli married to Peter Allen at one point? I don't know if any of her other husband's were gay.

Megalopolos mention 🎉

I was working at a theater when this came out. I only remembered the weird condom spill at the end

KJB is about to go full Mark Kermode

Sex and the CITY? In THIS economy?

Holeeee shit

Doing the Vince McMahon meme as I see they've done a 2 hour episode...about sex and the city...with Mattie. Oh my days

I pulled up the episode without my glasses on and there was a second when I thought the episode was "Cyber Sex and the City 2" which honestly would be a great porn title

Be nice, Abigail spent 18 years growing up in the heterosexual cloister that is Middle-Class Newcastle

i too like abigail am but a demure young girl and to be fair i only know who liza minelli is bc of that infomercial she did for some jewellery brand where shes absolutely loaded and forgets her own name

LIZA MINELLI!!!

Devon's spooky name is just "Dammit?"

You call this the most evil, vapid movie you've ever seen, yet the title does not say "Eat, Pray, Love". I will wait for the day you endure all 4 acts of that cruel, twisted excuse of a long form undercover boss episode. P.S. looking forward to listening to this episode when I get a chance, expecting a Mama Mia 2 experience 😋.

Feel like I’m about to look into the Aleph and go mad

Toasting a nonalcoholic comso to you all

I cannot believe KJB got to this film before SIGTT which is literally a podcast that is only about Sex and the City. Thanks Team x
