We promised we weren’t going to talk about And Just Like That on the pod…..and yet, the first 18 minutes of this episode are devoted to And Just Like That. We bid farewell to the first season of the endlessly divisive Sex and the City reboot, revisiting its best moments from the cringe (every scene with Che and Miranda, basically) to the unnecessarily horny (every scene with Che and Miranda, basically) to the sob-inducing (Steve won’t take off his wedding ring!!!! d’awwwwwwww). We also discuss the That’s Not My Name trend, the yassification of Pinocchio, and why the cartoon elephant from Sing is cancelled (spoiler: she deserves it).
Don’t Let This Flop is a weekly podcast from Rolling Stone, centered around a roundup of this week in TikTok trends and memes, from dances to recipes to makeup challenges to creepy viral videos to celebrity videos to grassroots campaigns intended to raise awareness of social issues. Join hosts Brittany Spanos and EJ Dickson as they unpack their significance, with special guests to break down the latest trends in TikTok. Some of these stories will be silly; some will be more serious. All will have wider implications outside the world of TikTok.
