What is the premise of the “Valley of the Twenty‑Something Guys” episode?
Kun mietin tulevaa. Ajattelen minulle tärkeitä ihmisiä ja sitä, mitä haluan tarjota heille. Nordea Private Bankingissa oma sijoitusjohtajani auttaa tekemään päätöksiä, jotka kestävät aikaa. Näin perheeni pysyy askeleen edellä. Nordea.fi. Kautta PrivatePoint.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Siis olit sä tulossa tänne äänialiahoitoa. Täällä alkaa jengi olema jo ihan taajuuksilla. Joo, sori. Tuli taas hirveä sätöne sähkösoppareiden ja puheliliittomien kanssa. Eikä. En varmaan pääsen nyt. Ei meillä ole milta kaikki. Ei todellakaan ole mitään säätöä. Nyt näen vart päästä. Ota omista ja asioi ilman säätöä. Oomi. I spent forty thousand dollars on shoes? What's the matter, Morty? Oh Break down. Beautiful gowns. Fashion has changed.
No, it hasn't. Hi, I'm Lauren Caroni. And I'm Chelsea Farrelless. And welcome back to the Every Outfit Podcast. This is our monthly rewatch of a Sex in the City episode.
We're talking about season one, episode four, Valley of the Twenty-something guys,
aka the episode where Timothy Olaphant guest stars and the infamous up the butt conversation happens. Can't wait to get into it. Absolutely. But before we do, whenever we do a rewatch episode, I always consult what I call the Bible, which is that pink book that they released before the series ended. It came out like
After season four. If we ever have to testify in court, do you think they would let us swear on the Sex in the City like pink suede box set? I hope. I mean we'll certainly try.
But anyway, I always consult that book because they have anecdotes for every episode. And there were two very interesting ones for this episode. So Darren Starr gave a quote, and Sarah Jessica Parker gave a quote. And Darren Starr's quote about this episode was: he had to pitch this storyline to the head of HBO at the time. And he was like, I'm either getting kicked out of the office or they're going to laugh. And when he pitched this idea, He's like, look, Charlotte's boyfriend wants to have anal sex with her and she won't be Mrs. Up the Butt. And the head of HBO at the time, Chris Albrecht, laughed and Darren Starr was like, all right, we're off to the races, I guess. I guess. And then Sarah Jessica Parker's quote about this episode, given what we know about Sarah Jessica Parker's memory of Sex in the City now, which is she has no recollection of making Sex in the City, what episodes, what happened in each episode.
However, her quote in this book about this episode is that it's a perfect episode. She's like, you got it all. You have Big and Carrie running into each other. You've got Charlotte and the anal sex conversation. To me, this is a perfect Sex in the City episode.
It's a great episode. I would argue that there are no truly bad Sex in the City episodes. There are some less good episodes, I would say, in in season one and in season five, but the quality was pretty consistent. Absolutely.
And this episode is written by Michael Patrick King. It is directed by a woman named Alex McLean. This is her only episode of Sex in the City. I know her for her feature film Jesus' Son, which had Billy Cruttup, which comes out a year after this episode. However, she is also known as the director of the Natalie Ambrulia Torn music.
See, that's my favorite genre of 90s music video, which is just like a woman in an apartment. Losing her mind. Yeah. Like Lisa Loeb's Stay, I Missed You is another one of those like woman in an apartment music videos, but Natalie and Brullia Torn, perfect.
She tore with that video? She did. This director, Alison McLean, is a Canadian New Zealand director, and her first feature film, or the one that she became known for, is a movie called Crush that came out in 1992. Not to be confused with the 1993 Alicia Silverstone film called The Crush. Right. However, this movie seems very up our alley. has Marsha Gay Harden as a novelist, I believe, and then she's driving in a car with a literary critic and the car crashes and the literary critic has a traumatic brain injury. And then it seems that Marsha Gay Harden tries to seduce her 15 year old daughter.
