Sex and the City 2, Part 3: Big eats ossobuco off of Carrie's face!

About this episode

The episode dives into the themes of aging and excess in Sex and the City 2, exploring the characters' struggles for connection.

Join Meredith and Ricky in Part 3 of their deep-dive into Sex and the City 2. We finally push past Stanford’s wedding (what is the approximate square footage of the inn?) and into even more unhinged territory. From Samantha’s bio-identical cream application to Big’s big appetite for Carrie’s chin morsels, this installment finally lands on what the movie is actually about: restlessness, aging, excess, and the horror of staying home. We’re all searching for a bit of connection right now, so let’s escape to a simpler time, when Miley Cyrus wore off-the-rack dresses to movie premieres, trellis wallpapers covered every wall, and we all agreed on who the real villain was: Carrie Bradshaw.
