Sex and the City S4E2: "The Real Me" with Margaret Cho

Girls Rewatch: Sex and the City

Show Notes

We're jumping ahead for an absolute goddamn legend! The original orator of “fuckette” and Iron Lady of Glendale Margaret Cho joins us to discuss her glamorous episode of SATC S4E2, “The Real Me.”

Carrie is recruited to walk (and eventually fall) in a fashion show, Charlotte can’t look at her vagina, Miranda faces the consequences of having confidence in front of a gym bro (rejection,) and Samantha bares it all in front of Tony Hale for posterity’s sake.

Margaret shares her origin story with the pilot of SATC, fondly remembers the pre-feud atmosphere with the ladies on set, affirms that New York is the only place you can be broke AND glamorous, and reminds us that we should never give an ugly guy a chance.

We get into why you should never set up your gay friends, the lost media of 2000s reality shows, the insidious nature of greenwashing, and how unrealistic it is to have a standing brunch appointment for four.

Also Evan didn't find that website, so stay tuned.
