About this listen

Episode 2 – "The City and the Self: Stardom, Sex, and the Screen" Frankie explores how Parker transformed from respected actor into generational icon through Sex and the City, examining the show as both cultural phenomenon and artistic achievement. This episode dissects Parker's performance of Carrie Bradshaw as cultural archetype, analyzing how the show reflected late-1990s feminism, urban aspiration, and television's evolution into cinematic storytelling. Through Parker's portrayal, Sex and the City became more than entertainment—it became a text about identity, friendship, and the power of narrative to redefine modern womanhood, even as it revealed the contradictions at the heart of that project.
