Lisa KudrowGUEST
You know, it's just with reality TV, it was already somewhat upon us.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
It wasn't Housewives of Everywhere yet, but it was Amazing Race and the Osbournes and Anna Nicole Smith, like those sort of... bio reality show things you know and um and we all also were very aware of and michael patrick king is a showrunner and writer he had just finished sex in the city we were very aware of um people writers who had had overall deals not getting renewed and no new ones being made and so we were just taking the hints and more than hints that, okay, so they're going to do more reality shows because they're cheaper.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
And there's no union rules with them.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
So that's what they're going to do.

Carly SilvermanHOST
The Sex and the City movie is a 2008 film directed by Michael Patrick King, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristen Davis.

Evan LazarusHOST
Sure.
Evan LazarusHOST
We got Michael Patrick King behind and just like that.
Evan LazarusHOST
But we didn't have Darren Star.
Evan LazarusHOST
So we lost like the initial engine.
Miquita OliverHOST
And I think that you've really got to put that down to...
Miquita OliverHOST
I think it's Michael Patrick King.
Jordan StephensHOST
The writer?
Miquita OliverHOST
Who created it and wrote it, yeah.
Kristin DavisHOST
Directed by Michael Engler.
Kristin DavisHOST
Written by Michael Patrick King.
Kristin DavisHOST

21 MINS LATER
Kristin DavisHOST
But I don't know what's going to happen when I'm watching
Bethany Joy LenzGUEST
which is kind of cool that happened to me a lot I was
Kristin DavisHOST
like I have no idea what's going to happen yeah which I love it's really fun and this episode is written by Michael Patrick King and directed by Michael Engler so i as i was telling you when you got here i did watch two last night by mistake and so now my brain's gonna be jumbled but we're in the burger era era yes era i love ron livingston he's amazing he's great he's a great actor we need him to come on the podcast because is this not the episode that rosemary is also in or is it the next one his wife rosemary dewitt is also in our show i didn't know they It's the next one.
Kristin DavisHOST
She was not in this episode, but I love her.
AmandaHOST
It's not worth anything.
AmandaHOST
And, like, I remember from the commentary MPK saying that, like, he really wanted Carrie to just really... lose herself and I'm apologizing for my things and I'm she's only been here two weeks
JohnHOST
that to me didn't come across I think pulling out of this scene like the things were like very interesting thing is the wife is like Oh, Alexander is, Carrie asks the wife what she did for her job, what her life is like.
JohnHOST
And she's like, oh, Alexander never told me what you did.
AmandaHOST
He says something about
JohnHOST
that.
JohnHOST
You know what? I wouldn't be surprised if MPK was like, you know, we did this because it shows that Carrie was, like, open to life.
JohnHOST
And because of Alexander, like, Juliet's life is now closed off.
Brett CollinsHOST
Obviously, she'll be starring.
Brett CollinsHOST
I just don't think she would do some sort of hard pivot and take the show in a completely different direction like Michael Patrick King and Sarah Jessica Parker did with the jump from Sex and the City to And Just Like That.
Brett CollinsHOST
Because they also did, I remember they said that it was gonna be a different show, so we went into And Just Like That knowing that it wasn't gonna be the same as Sex and the City.
Brett CollinsHOST
I just don't think we knew how different that shit was gonna be.
Rory JamesHOST
It did it so brilliantly, and it captured those moments so brilliantly.
Rory JamesHOST
So, like, and by the way, Michael Patrick King was behind both that and Sex and the City.
Rory JamesHOST
So it could be the same person rebooting a series who can do it well and, or, or can do it poorly.
Rory JamesHOST
It really just depends how it goes.
Fran TiradoHOST
Yes
Rose DommuHOST
... more than I trusted Michael Patrick King.
Fran TiradoHOST
Yes.
Rose DommuHOST
Um, more than I've ever trusted Michael Patrick King.
Fran TiradoHOST
Mm-hmm.
Rose DommuHOST
The t- thing that does worry me is that, um, as Ryan, when, when he, uh, you know, flagged, when he brought this to, across my desk, um, that Jenji Kohan, um, is not returning.
