Mike Jensen has seen the Sex and the City series many times. Elise Castle has never seen a single episode.

Join us as Mike watches for the (insert embarrassing number here) time and Elise is watching for the very first. We will discuss how the series holds up almost 20 years later, our own experiences living in NYC, and the debate over too much cranberry juice in the Cosmopolitan.

S13 Ep14: And Just Like That... If We Never Meet Again...

11/17/2025
No clips, just conversation. Elise and Mike take one more chance to talk about both Sex And The City, and And Just Like That... They talk about what took them so long to record this last episode, answer many (many) listener questions, share the things they just can't quite let go of, and, in sharing the thing they ended up loving the most about this series, the character they think grew the most, while staying true to themselves. I've heard it said...

S13 Ep13: And Just Like That... Party Of One

8/18/2025
As the series comes to a close, Miranda and Lisa talk about marriage, and reconnect with their husbands, Seema decides whether she can be happy with certain things she may have to give up, Anthony confronts Giuseppe with his suspicion about their engagement, and Carrie contemplates being alone versus being on her own. Elise and Mike have a lot of thoughts about how this series, and entire universe perhaps, is being put to rest, including that final line. Plus, coffee mug plants.

S13 Ep11: And Just Like That... Better Than Sex

8/4/2025
After covering what happened concerning the most recent episode of La Edad Dorada, and the news that this will be the final season of And Just Like That... Elise and Mike discuss Seema killing Adam's mom (figuratively), Charlotte finding a quiet place to get a cleanse, Miranda tracking down a "baby momma," Anthony and Giuseppe's living situation, Lisa's rodent problem, and the developments between Carrie and Duncan. They don't necessarily understand it all, but they each have on opportunity to do a Steve impression, and that's what really matters.

S13 Ep10: And Just Like That... Present Tense

7/28/2025
So, we have a lot of feelings about this one. Harry and Charlotte are in various stages of recovery. Herbert can't be around food, Lisa wants him to go on medication, and Henry just wants to eat his frozen snacks in peace. Adam tries to prove a point by putting deodorant on his mouth, and Seema nearly causes a scandal by applying roll on outside a bathroom. Gia is kinda bitchy to Anthony, then sort of apologizes, then goes full Real Housewife, then feels badly, then gives her son an ultimatum. In story lines that make a bit more sense, Carrie and Miranda both have important conversations with their significant others to very different ends. What is happening?
