About this episode

Dana Donnelly joins to discuss the themes of motherhood and identity in SATC S1E10, 'The Baby Shower'.

Dana Donnelly of Midnight Milkshake Podcast and writer/ director of The Prospect puts on her anthropologist hat to discuss SATC S1E10, “The Baby Shower.” Our four ladies take a road trip to suburban Connecticut for ex-party girl Laney’s baby shower and bravely confront the idea of motherhood. Samantha heats up her old slut rivalry with Laney and delivers her most iconic line (“you bitch!”) Charlotte laments her stolen baby name and 90s-style deletes her Pinterest board, Carrie misses her period and contemplates motherhood from a journalistic perspective, and Miranda shares a familial moment with Carrie in the condom aisle at the drug store. We discuss how having a secure sense of identity can make you a better slut and mother, why being a goofy gal means you have the most natural sexual energy, the argument for throwing more events that celebrate not having a baby, and why Carrie should never open Excel.
