And then we get into it all - Ray and Shosh's beautiful bond, Marnie's evolution, and the search of our queen Loreen. But, mostly, we'r
Girls - Painful Evacuation Jan 16, 2026 01:19:03 This is maybe one of the episodes of GIRLS that shocked viewers when it originally aired, but how does it hold up? Before we answer that, we discuss internet trends and the Golden Globes.

Girls - American Bitch Jan 9, 2026 01:33:03 What's this? An episode of Shortcomings where we dig deep and are serious just a little bit? But before that, we catch-up on what's going on in TV right now. And then we discuss Hannah's confrontation with famed writer Chuck Palmer. How does this episode re-frame Hannah's own behavior? What is the internet's evolving role in sexual politics? And, of course, that final moment.
Girls - Hostage Situation Dec 18, 2025 01:39:33 Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays - we're back to cover a doozy of an episode, but before that we discuss the new trailer for Melania and Sam's continued journey with those Wives that are Sisters.

Girls - All I Ever Wanted (&...Wicked: For Good) Nov 25, 2025 01:47:47 We have made it to the final season of GIRLS and what can we say...we've been changed For Good, because yes, we spend most of this episode discussing the inner workings of the Wicked sequel. We get into the sex cardigan, the new songs, the performances, and we simply ponder...what is OZ? And then, we try and discuss a fairly strange season premiere - Hannah meets a dreamboat, Ray and Shosh are del
Girls - I Love You, Baby Nov 25, 2025 01:40:56 It's a Thanksgiving week miracle - as I realized we never uploaded the season five 5 finale, so you're getting two episodes this week! Please note the political discourse for this episode is rather old! And wow, what an episode. But before we delve into that - I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some reason my ire is directed towards Jack Schlossberg. And then we get into it all - Shosh
