Now that the dust has settled from the end of And Just Like That... and the world is coming to terms with the fact that Carrie Bradshaw will not grace our screens ever again, Meredith and Ricky have taken some time to reflect on why they will never say goodbye to the woman who made them who they are today.
Join in to hear why Carrie's career, fashion, lifestyle, and commitment to friends has made us all who we are today.

Dear friends: Meredith and Ricky are gathered here today to recap “Party of One” and say goodbye to Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, And Just Like That… and the Sex and the City multiverse. And as a wise person named Epcot once taught us, it’s hard to say goodbye, even to a perfectly formed turd.
But the series finale of And Just Like That… also said hello to Harry’s lost boner, Adam’s sassy wash ’n’ go haircut, Silvio’s virtuoso dance routine, Joy’s pie preference, and Carrie’s vague epilogue. So, grab your spoon and take a big scoop of pumpkin pie filling and let’s dig in together.
While And Just Like That… might be over, we’re not. Stay tuned for more of the pod, and please reach out to us on Instagram at @andjustlikewhatpod or email us at shoegal@andjustlikewhat.com
And please rate, review and subscribe wherever you hear us. It means the world!
This week on And Just Like What? A Sex and the City Reboot Podcast, we cover “Forget About the Boy,” And Just Like That... Season 3, Episode 11, which aired on August 7, 2025.
In this penultimate episode of the series, Meredith and Ricky unpack a little more than they bargained for. The deeper they dive into the theory that this show is basically an A24-style horror, the more freaked out they get!
Does The Woman, in fact, live with Carrie and have romantic feelings for her? Is Lizette’s illegally subdivided apartment the inspiration for the set of Heretic? Will Herbert go berserk after losing the role of city comptroller? And how far will Brady go to stop Mia from coming to Thanksgiving?
All of this—and more—is discussed, but not explained, on the pod. Your guesses are as good as ours!
You don’t have to send us a parchment with a blood-red wax seal to reach out. You can DM us anytime on Instagram at @andjustlikewhatpod or email us at shoegal@andjustlikewhat.com.
And Just Like That… is almost finished forever and Ricky and Meredith wish the could spend a little bit more time with this chaotic fever dream of an absurdist dystopian present — in other words, the only show that truly encapsulates the zeitgeist of our time! This week, they dive into episode 10, “Better Than Sex.”
Seema kills Adam’s mom; Charlotte gets a psychic reading; Guiseppe’s elderly roommate creates a marionette in his image and jerks off to it — yes, you’re reading that right; Miranda gets waterboarded by Brady’s baby mama; Herbert loses his race for comptroller; and Carrie claims she can’t risk what she has with Duncan because he’s the only man who admires her thoughts, but sleeps with him ASAP anyway.

Meredith and Ricky thought they were settling into a nice mini-sized episode of And Just Like That... but "Present Tense" gave them a lot more than they bargained for — not to mention a master class in verb conjugation.
LTW suggests that Herbert "just asks his doctor" about his weight problem. Charlotte still has vertigo. Seema and Adam continue to focus on deodorant more than sex. Joy still loves her gin and is pleased to learn that Miranda has a spare room for all her literal and figurative baggage. Gia and Anthony dine on gluey risotto in Anthony's tenement and have a chilling exchange that will haunt us forever.
But most importantly (and educational) of all, Carrie and Aidan simply aren't "to be" together after trying for decades, and it all comes down on subtle nuance in language.
You don't have to use Anthony's sad landline to call us, you can DM us like the rich people do on Instagram @andjustlikewhatpod or email us like those fancy people uptown do at shoegal@andjustlikewhat.com
So “Happily Ever After,” episode 8 of And Just Like That… just aired. And if you were hoping for some major plot developments (or even a plot), then you’ll be sorely disappointed. But isn’t this mess why we’re all transfixed by this series? We’re survivors, we’re here, we witnessed this together.
Turns out Ricky’s excitement over last week’s installment having a beginning, middle, and end was a short-lived fever dream, because this week we hardly get a beginning or a middle, let alone an end! Charlotte plays nurse to Harry’s enlarged balls and suffers from vertigo as she tries to juggle the demands of home and work. LTW clearly chooses Marion over her daughter’s seltzer addiction. Joy’s rich character growth endures as she firmly establishes her love of gin. Miranda downs some Sausalitos in an attempt to distract herself from the aforementioned gin. Adam chows down on Seema’s pits. And Aidan surprises Carrie with an extended stay—which leads to zero drama, confrontation, or story arc. As the woman always says, when that red bird arrives in your garden, you do everything it takes to make it stay. Totally makes sense! Can’t wait for the audiobook!
You don’t have to hold your breath to make us stay—you’ll actually never get rid of us if you DM us your hot takes @andjustlikewhatpod or email us at shoegal@andjustlikewhat.com
Meredith and Ricky are deep into season three of And Just Like That… While they found “They Wanna Have Fun” a hoot, their opinions differ on several elements.
Ricky praises the episode for having three acts — pre-party, party, and post-party — which Meredith quickly points out is just a standard plotline with a beginning, middle, and end. Who can blame him? None of the other episodes were structured this way!
As tension continues to brew between Miranda and Carrie, Meredith sides with Miranda (she did get Miranda in that BuzzFeed quiz she took 12 years ago), and Ricky continues to empathize with Carrie (he got Carrie in that same quiz). Meredith, yet again, asks our viewers to weigh in on who’s the worse friend — even though she knows the answer: blame Carrie!
But there’s plenty they agree on: Anthony is horrid, and Gia has every right to deride him in whatever accent she chooses. Lily is also the worst and should move away from Park Avenue — and off our TV screens. Adam’s vocal acrobatics singing “Bette Davis Eyes” give JoJo Siwa a run for her money. And let’s be honest: these people are just plain and simply too rich. Our desire for wish fulfillment is turning into apathy.
You don’t have to lie and tell us The Woman is one of the great literary heroines of our time — you can be real and tell us what you really think. Just slide into our DMs on Instagram at @andjustlikewhatpod.
The time continuum of And Just Like That… continues and Meredith and Ricky are still trying to fight their way out of the matrix. This week we watched “Silent Mode.” In this alternate universe, Carrie is almost an entirely different person, and LTW’s dad has died for the second time — a feat even Lucille would find impressive!
And while excitement brews for Carrie and Aidan, almost nothing else happens: Carrie eats some stew, Joy and Miranda chat, Charlotte shops at Walgreens, Seema’s car lease expires. If that doesn’t seem like much for us to go on, you’re gravely mistaken. This podcast is somehow longer than the show itself.

We're officially at the midpoint of And Just Like That... and Meredith and Ricky have a few more question:
Does "The Woman" actually currently live with Carrie? Does Miranda sleep in black socks (and nothing else)? Will Herbert serenade Harry to sleep? Will LTW eventually find out how large and how in charge Marion actually is? Will Lily finally win the love of her teenage poly boyfriend?
Will a general plotline emerge???
You don't have to give us a gift basket filled with local treats to drum up a conversation with us, you can DM us anytime on Instagram @andjustlikewhatpod or email us at shoegal@andjustlikewhat.com
And Just Like That... episode 4 doesn’t hold back and neither do Meredith and Ricky.
As we continue to watch the reboot of the show that made us who we are today, we see glimpses of its former glory. Take Carrie’s sexy Daisy Creations outfits found merely a mile away from Aidan’s multi-million dollar compound, or Miranda continuing to find every ounce of cringe in every scene, or Charlotte condoning every sexual fantasy in her Park Avenue penthouse.
But the reboot also confounds us and raises many questions which we try to disentangle on the pod: Does LTW need a CPAP machine? Did Marion and Grace get it on? Will Wyatt kill everyone in their sleep? Who will Diego add to his haram? And, above all else, what the hell is The Woman going to do next?
Listen along and enjoy!

The gods are smiling on these Sex and the City super fans because this episode of And Just Like That... is on point!
Carrie is delightfully neurotic as she obsesses over Aidan's use of an emoji; meanwhile, Charlotte and LTW are garbage people, Cheri Oteri sets Seema up on a date, and Miranda is interested in a classic lesbian.

And Just Like That... is back and more chaotic than ever. Meredith and Ricky dig into each scene to try to make sense of it all.
In this episode, Carrie verges on Grey Gardens as she waits for Aidan in her rambling mansion; Miranda picks up a nun at a lesbian bar (you're reading that right); Charlotte advocates for Mr. Burton; Seema cooks in her gourmet kitchen; and, Seema might or might not be in a coma due to smoke inhalation.
Is it a mess? YES! Do we love it? Absofuckinlutely!!!

In this week's rewind, Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte dive into the ins and outs of threesomes.
Carrie pitches a story about a child smoker to get close to Big’s ex; meanwhile, Samantha wrecks yet another marriage; Charlotte does anything it takes to retain and please Pennywise; and, Miranda wants to be picked first — or at all!

We go way, way back to season one to report on some unfinished business. This week Meredith and Ricky cover an early classic from season one, Bay of Married Pigs.
Carrie goes to the Hamptons and gets a glimpse of Peter’s peter and dives into the nuances of the war between the marrieds and the singles. Meanwhile, Miranda and Sid dominate right-wing Republican social circles — and the baseball diamond; Charlotte dumps Shawn at William-Sonoma; and, Samantha gets stock tips from Shape of Water man.

This week Meredith and Ricky cover the series finale of Sex and the City: "An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)."
Carrie is still lost in the City of Lights. She has dessert with a bullmastiff, gets hit by a kid, eats a tough baguette, gets voyeured, and steps in dog doo-doo. A perfect day until Petrovsky refuses to hold her hand both literally and figuratively.
Meanwhile, Samantha wears a statement hoodie, Charlotte sees the Park Avenue Princess for the first time, and Miranda learns to love.

This week Meredith and Ricky dive into the penultimate episode of the series finale, "An American Girl in Paris (Part Une). The show that made us who we are today is coming to an end in high style as Carrie takes in the sumptuous sights of the City of Lights. But all is not as it seems!
Carrie loses her Cool Girl status and eats dust in Dior; Samantha perspires and inspires; Miranda holds back her judgement admirably; and, Charlotte meddles in the best way possible.

Things are taking a nosedive all over Manhattan (and Brooklyn): First and foremost, Lexi Featherston literally falls 18 stories to her death after announcing that New York was boring. Carrie’s love life is teetering on the edge of the same windowsill because, as she sees it, she can either go to Paris with the accountant of the art world (AKA Petrovsky) or end up like Enid, the embodiment of middle-aged loneliness.
Meanwhile, Charlotte’s pride is in free fall as she pulls out all the stops against her archrival: her own dog Elizabeth Taylor. And Miranda attempts a trust fall, hoping Carrie will be there to catch her when she dishes out some tough love.

This week, Meredith and Ricky dive into a rare bottom-shelf episode of season 6, "The Cold War." The plot lines are as forgettable as the fashions, but for the true super fan, every episode counts.
Petrovsky’s spectacles get hot and steamy for Carrie, but does that just scream Cold War? Meanwhile, Charlotte upstages Elizabeth Taylor at the dog show, Miranda tattletales on Smith Jerrod, and Samantha takes a page from Paris Hilton to secure her legendary status.
