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

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 08:21:00 +0000

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

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 21:52:50 +0000

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.

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 07:12:00 +0000

Seema and Adam take a shower and make some plans. Harry tries to convince Charlotte to have a stay at home Thanksgiving. Giuseppe and Anthony have an announcement. Rock takes center stage. Herbert acts like an @$$ hat. Carrie struggles with whether or not her living situation still makes sense. And Elise and Mike spend quite a bit of time discussing the original Broadway production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Gimme, Gimme, indeed!

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

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 21:49:00 +0000

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

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 07:52:00 +0000

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?

Seema has an eyelash extension fiasco, and a serious flirtation with Adam. Anthony meets the "future Mother in law." Harry allowed the beans to be spilled after revealing a secret of his own. And at the party, worlds collide, but not really, everyone mostly stays to their own group.

Harry drops some very big news on Charlotte and asks her to keep it to herself. Seema hits up a familiar face (to some of us) for a bank loan. And Lisa finds herself with a work crush. Which is fine. Right?

First we have Season 5 in as many minutes and then Elise and Mike breakdown the journey of this, our shortest season, though there's much to discuss. This was a season where all four of the ladies really had to take a look at who they are and what they want. And just wait until Season 6...

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 02 Jun 2019 07:29:00 +0000

This episode starts at a cabaret and ends in a farmers' market. How New York.

Also, Mary Testa!

S5 Ep4: Cover Girl

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 19 May 2019 07:37:00 +0000

So this one brought up a few interesting discussions mostly concerning the topic of judgement. As Charlotte looks to self-help books to get past her recent separation, and Miranda joins Weight Watchers to help her lose the baby weight, Samantha and Carrie find themselves in a precarious friendship space where they are both forced to look at judgment, what society expects of women, and what they think of each other.

S5 Ep3: Luck Be an Old Lady

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 12 May 2019 07:33:00 +0000

Miranda enjoys gambling but mostly wants to go to her room, Charlotte gives herself an extreme makeover hoping that someone with buy her a free drink, Samantha keeps a watchful eye on Richard and comes to a major decision about their relationship, and Carrie ponders a drama free future.

Carrie deals with the ups and downs of her one true love, Samantha confronts her ex in more ways than one, Charlotte tries to figure out who she really is, and Miranda dives into motherhood giant boobs first. Did we mention there are boobs? Ahoy!

S4 Ep19: Season Four Recap!

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 14 Apr 2019 07:35:00 +0000

If you think the medley of quotes at the end of Season Three was something else, just you wait. Plus Elise and Mike take a deep breath and then work their way, free association style, through all of Season Four, and man oh man, it was a doozy. All the breakups, meet ups, and babies (okay, there was just one baby) in just about 45 minutes. Enjoy, and we'll see you again in Season Five.

S4 Ep18: I Heart NY

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 07:22:00 +0000

It's the final episode of Season Four and so much is happening. Someone is leaving, a new character is arriving, a recent divorcee is trying to date again, and another character is about to get her heart broken. Elise and Mike have a lot to say about all of it and I think everyone can agree there are far too many musical theatre references. As this season ends, a new season has begun.

S4 Ep17: A 'Vogue' Idea

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 07:37:00 +0000

It's the penultimate episode of Season Four! Carrie has a new job, Charlotte is throwing Miranda a last-minute baby shower, and Samantha is putting a little celebration together for Richard's birthday. A little party of three. (Just don't call him "daddy").

S4 Ep16: Ring a Ding Ding

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 07:17:00 +0000

This is one of m'favorites! Aidan has officially moved out and leaves an envelope containing, well, not what Carrie thinks it will contain, forcing her to take a look at her life and finances. Meanwhile, Charlotte is also taking a look at her life, Miranda is feeling frisky while pregnant, and Samantha has Richard's personal shopper take a little liberty with the gift card signing. Best and Love, Elise and Mike.

S4 Ep15: Change of a Dress

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 07:13:00 +0000

Charlotte takes up tap, Samantha catches monogamy, Miranda gets a sonogram, and Carrie and Aidan... I can't really talk about it.

S4 Ep14: All That Glitters

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 10 Mar 2019 07:21:00 +0000

Carrie makes a new friend, Samantha makes a stunning declaration, Miranda runs into a coworker in a very unusual place, and Chalotte and Trey come to a startling conclusion. It's an episode that really sets up the rest of the season and Elise and Mike have a lot to say about it.

S4 Ep13: The Good Fight

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 03 Mar 2019 08:18:00 +0000

Carrie and Aidan's move in causes come tension in the Bradshaw/Shaw household, but nothing compared to the Park Avenue residence of Charlotte and Trey. Meanwhile Samantha is resisting any romantic entanglements with her boss and Miranda has what she considers one last chance for sex before becoming a Mom.

Also, that's Elise belching at the start of the episode. Sorry, and you're welcome.

S4 Ep12: Just Say Yes

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 24 Feb 2019 08:37:00 +0000

Some major decisions are being made. Carrie has to decide how to respond to more than one proposal from Aidan. Miranda and Steve have to decide how to deal with impending parenthood. Charlotte and Trey have to decide how and if to move forward with their fertility issues. And Samantha has to decide if she should hook up with Mr. Right… er, Wright. (Spoiler, she totally does)

S4 Ep11: Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 08:30:00 +0000

There is a lot to cover here. Both Charlotte and Miranda have major news. Miranda's development sends Carrie on a journey into her own past. Meanwhile Samantha wants a really big, really expensive accessory and she drops her recent client's name (Lucy Liu) to get it. Things are about to get very serious...

S4 Ep10: Belles of the Balls

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 10 Feb 2019 08:33:00 +0000

This episode can basically be summed up in one word, but we'll let you figure out what that word is. Some get tugged, one almost gets purchased because one got removed, a doctor needs to check out what Trey's are making, both Samantha and Big prove they "have them." It's balls, guys. The word is balls.

S4 Ep9: Sex and the Country

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 08:52:00 +0000

Did you know that Aidan has a country house? Well, he does and Carrie is expected to visit regularly. When she brings Samantha along for company Samantha finds some company of her own. Meanwhile Charlotte happens upon a startling scene at the MacDougal family country home, and Miranda makes Steve cry after hearing some startling news. This episode ROCKS! (kinda)

S4 Ep8: My Motherboard, My Self

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 27 Jan 2019 08:09:00 +0000

So this is a big one, and Big isn't even involved. Miranda experiences a loss and the girls all deal with it in various ways. Carrie recedes from Aidan, Charlotte buys fruit baskets and flowers, Samantha distracts herself in her usual way, Mike cries, and Elise has to take over the conversation a few times. And yes, I just included Elise and I as part of "the girls." Let's all breath and reboot.

S4 Ep7: Time and Punishment

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 20 Jan 2019 08:09:00 +0000

Miranda and Charlotte have a phone confrontation about life choices, Samantha has a taxi cab confrontation and is told to deal with some waxing choices, and Carrie and Aiden have some passive aggressive confrontations all about one very Big choice from her past. Hey! I picked a theme and stuck with it! I should write for this show...

S4 Ep6: Baby, Talk Is Cheap

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 08:27:00 +0000

This one is all about babies. Charlotte and Trey are thinking about having one, Samantha is dating a guy who talks like one... Okay, so that's really all the baby stuff there is, but I suppose you could say that Carrie is a infant when it comes to email, and Miranda... No, I'm not going to try and think of a baby metaphor for Miranda's date. Plus we have an awkward double date at Tortilla Flats! (R.I.P.)

S4 Ep5: Ghost Town

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 06 Jan 2019 14:54:44 +0000

Miranda has a ghost! Carrie has an ex! Charlotte has a Mother in Law! Samantha has a talkative girlfriend! And I have no more exclamation points... Enjoy the show! (Oh look, I had one more)

S4 Ep4: What’s Sex Got To Do with It?

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 16 Dec 2018 08:26:00 +0000

Carrie gets ‘played’ by her jazz musicain boyfriend while Charlotte and Trey play all over town. Miranda eats a lot of cake and Samantha eats... well, you’ve seen the episode. Mike actually remembers to do the DVD recap and Elise has a startling diagnosis for an old school musical theatre character. Yep, we’ve got trouble.

S4 Ep3: Defining Moments

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 08:14:00 +0000

For an episode Elise and Mike claim not to like very much a lot happens here. Carrie, Samantha, and Miranda all meet potential new love interests, Charlotte tries to figure out what's going on with hers, but most importantly there are TWO different Michael John LaChiusa The Wild Party shout outs, along with a brief history of another short lived Broadway musical. And don't get Mike started on meat crab...

S4 Ep2: The Real Me

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 08:20:00 +0000

Elise and Mike follow the ladies as they model, date guys from the gym, get nude photos taken, and take a good look at their... well, you'll see.

S4 Ep1: The Agony and the Ex-tacy

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 02 Dec 2018 08:15:00 +0000

We're back for Season Four! Samantha is in love with a priest! Miranda has a new comedy routine! Charlotte needs to know what's going on in her marriage! And Carrie is turning 35! And Mike is using too many exclamation points... Enjoy!!!

S3 Ep20: A Look Back at the Pilot

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 25 Nov 2018 08:24:00 +0000

It's a bonus episode! Mike and (mostly) Elise take a quick look back at the pilot after having watched the first three seasons. Does anything stand out as being strange all these years later? Does Carrie have a cell phone? And what color is her hair? All this and more is discussed as we get ready to launch season four next week!

S3 Ep19: Season Three Recap!

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 08:25:00 +0000

Let's take a look back at season three. We talk about favorite lines, a lot of moments we can't really let go of, least favorite episodes, favorite episodes, and it all starts with the entire season distilled into less than four minutes.

S3 Ep18: Cock-a-Doodle-Do!

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 04 Nov 2018 08:53:00 +0000

It's the season 3 finale! Too much happens to describe here, just listen! Also, change of plans, the recap will be out next week. Rise and shine!

S3 Ep17: What Goes Around Comes Around

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 28 Oct 2018 07:13:00 +0000

So much happens in the penultimate episode of season 3! A robbery, a really bad hangover, a moment of infidelity, a fall, and a separation. And that's not even getting to the weirdness this is Samantha's story line. Season 3 is almost over! And we're officially half way done with the whole series!!

S3 Ep16: Frenemies

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 07:22:00 +0000

Charlotte and Trey get nautical! Miranda gets stood up! Samantha makes a new friend! Carrie proves herself to be not much of a teacher! Mike remembers to recap, and Elise reverts to not knowing names! Ahoy!

S3 Ep15: Hot Child in the City

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 14 Oct 2018 07:19:00 +0000

Mike and Elise forgot to record the recap for this one, so here it is. Carrie dates a grown man who works at a comic book shop, rides a scooter, and lives with his parents. Miranda get braces to fix her "tongue thrusting." Samantha throws a Bat Mitzvah celebration for a 13 year old girl who acts shockingly "mature" for her age. And Charlotte goes from researching male anatomy body modifications, to couples therapy, to some pretty strange art and crafts. Now let's all party like teenagers!

S3 Ep14: Sex and Another City

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 07 Oct 2018 07:16:00 +0000

The girls have a few more days in sunny California! Two of them get waxed, one of them gets a fake Fendi, one of them meets up with an old flame, and one of them picks a fight with a Playboy Bunny. Elise and Mike wax poetic about it. See what I did there?

S3 Ep13: Escape From New York

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Tue, 02 Oct 2018 12:37:46 +0000

All right. Let's try this one again. The ladies take off for the West Coast just as Mike returns to NYC. While in L.A. three of the ladies encounter adult toys, mechanical bulls, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a super creepy Mathew McConaughey, while Charlotte stays home and plays a stamp wielding Nancy Drew, and Elise spends much of her weekend on social media explaining that all will be fixed soon. So, as they say in Hollywood, take two. (They say that outside of Hollywood too, and Mike wanted to make a better Hollywood joke, but he barely slept on his 5 hour red eye flight and needs to nap for a bit. Thank you all for your patience and understanding.)

S3 Ep12: Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 07:02:00 +0000

This episode is all about honesty. Mike honestly liked the movie Mother! Elise is honestly kind of rude about Aidan's sentiment regarding the wedding gift he made. And both Mike and Elise are honestly confused about the timeline leading up to Charlotte and Trey's wedding.

S3 Ep11: Running With Scissors

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 16 Sep 2018 07:15:00 +0000

Elise thinks the most important thing to know about this recording is that she's aware that Lauren Bacall was in Applause The Musical not Ballroom The Musical. Mike thinks the most important thing to know is that the worse Big behaves, the more of a crush Elise has on him. Mike does not approve. Also there are talking hoagies, ill-secured swings, and Mentadent. As Oprah Winfrey once sang, Run On...

S3 Ep10: All or Nothing

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 07:17:00 +0000

Elise and Mike take a look at episode 10 of season 3. Topics range from trips to Pennsylvania, delivery service in NYC, confronting a future mother in law, and proper phone etiquette. See Manhattan! We can have it all!!

S3 Ep9: Easy Come, Easy Go

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 07:15:00 +0000

Elise and Mike take a look at an episode that Mike thinks is great and also hates. Steve moves out, Samantha tries wheatgrass, Charlotte pops the question, and Carrie stays at a hotel. Also, Elise begins to wage a war on kittens. Here we go...

S3 Ep8: The Big Time

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 07:18:00 +0000

This is a Big one you guys. Pun intended. And I don't just mean the episode being discussed. This is the pod where lines are drawn and sides are taken. Elise and Mike stand on opposite ends of perhaps the greatest debate involving Sex And The City and things may never be the same...

S3 Ep7: Drama Queens

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 07:39:00 +0000

Elise and Mike really like this one! Episode 7 of season 3 brings up topics like umbrella etiquette, aggressive gum chewing, and how under appreciated much of Kim Cattrall's work was. Also, Aida! (Though not the one Mike saw thirteen times on Broadway...)

S3 Ep6: Are We Sluts?

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 04:23:49 +0000

An important question indeed. Elise and Mike answer this question and more while also discussing improper sexy time declarations, how to win (or not) the approval of your fellow tenants, and why a character we've seen before is answering to the wrong name. It's a puzzler. Enjoy!

S3 Ep5: No Ifs, Ands or Butts

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 05 Aug 2018 07:17:00 +0000

Elise and Mike have a lot to say about episode 5 of season 3. There are dog issues, bad kissing, unsupportive significant others, troublesome racial confrontations, and talk about whether or not that last comma I used was even necessary. Also, smoking. Slap on a nichotine patch and enjoy!

S3 Ep4: Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl...

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 07:13:00 +0000

Elise and Mike take a look at episode 4 of season 3. We have Drag Kings, Ice Skating, Alanis Morissette, and the longest clip ever used on the podcast because Cynthia Nixon is just that good. Take a spin!

S3 Ep3: Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman

Elise Castle and Mike Jensen — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 07:43:00 +0000

Elise and Mike discuss the third epode of season 3. From the perils of brunch, to spa etiquette, and quite a bit of boob talk. Plus, Elise feels personally attacked. Enjoy!
