Sex and the City S2E12: “La Douleur Exquise!” with Raina Morris
About this episode
TV writer Raina Morris joins the hosts to discuss the taboo themes and iconic moments from Sex and the City S2E12, 'La Douleur Exquise!'.
TV writer Raina Morris (Emily in Paris) is here to discuss all things taboo for SATC S2E12, “La Douleur Exquise!” It’s happening. Carrie is in the doorway with the riding crop and Big is telling her to not get Carried Away. In even more iconic moments from this episode, Will Arnett defies gravity to give Miranda head in a cab, Stanford boldly acts on his sweet-as-pie underwear fetish, Charlotte gets Art of the Dealed in a shoe store, and Carrie finally faces her masochism fetish with her Big Beautiful Boyfriend. We chat how, despite the haters, Carrie and Marnie won by being cringe, the concept of getting off at the birthplace of Huck Finn, how a cab is basically a threesome, and conspiracy theories on modern footwear. Plus: Carrie’s continued Navy Seal torture tactics, Evan’s history with foot fetishes, Raina’s argument for embarrassing yourself as much as possible in front of a lover, and how this episode is the perfect encapsulation of the three themes for a young girl’s bedroom: heels, kiss mark, Eiffel Tower!
