3X19 It All Seems So Final 06.11.2020 1:35:05
Election anxiety? You're not alone! We're here for you, though. We're addressing the toxic environment that is Instagram and how it hinders mental health. There are real people behind the podcasts. We have REAL emotions. It's the final episode of season 3 and it's jam-packed with content - which is why certain scenes got deleted. The Gilmore Girls have an optimistic future ahead of them and are tr...
3x18 Neglected, Expensive Spinoff 30.10.2020 1:30:20
This episode is all about Jess - but it's not all roses and sunshine. We're still pulling back Jess' layers while also talking about what could have been with his very own show, Windward Circle. Graduation is imminent and Rory is stressed. You know what's not helping? Emily and Lorelai acting like children.

It's the first time that this show has made us sad! Rory, Jess and Lane are all going through some shit and we feel for them.

3x16 Traumatic Laziness 16.10.2020 1:15:24
This week's episode is all about Jess! Kidding! But are we, though? We're diving into Jess' character development and solving the mystery of why so many people in the fandom are Team Jess.

We're back from our brief hiatus! We're discussing the completely chaotic week that is Lorelai Gilmore's 35 - or 36th? - birthday. We're tackling gender stereotypes in real life and in pop culture and imagining what life would have been like for Jess and Rory had things gone according to our fantasies. Need something to read during the second lockdown? Goodreads has nothing on us!
3x14 Poe-ing With Fire 25.09.2020 1:10:54
Rory's got a tough decision to make even though she's already made it, right? Jess makes Employee of the Month, but at what cost? The Gilmore Girls are getting the side-eye from Lindsey and Nicole sparking the jealous woman debate all over again. The inn catches fire while the Poes are in town and can we all finally agree that The Raven is a trash poem? Nevermore!
Sex and Morality in Gilmore Girls - An Interview with Samantha Grindell 23.09.2020 1:04:05

3x10 Flashing Backwards and Forward 28.08.2020 1:20:03
We're answering some of you questions because we missed interacting with you. Jess or Luke, Dean or Christopher, Ben Platt or Chris Evans. All will be revealed. Our discussions on the flashbacks quickly turn into speculations about the future. Is it possible for an abortion storyline to exist in the Gilmore Girls world? We both agree that if anyone can make it happen, it's Amy Sherman-Palladino. R...

3X02 The Audacity of Growing Up 26.06.2020 1:39:49
This week we're diving into the minds of Kirk, Emily, Dean and Christopher. We're still mad at Christopher, but what else is new? It's also the introduction of Dave Rygalski and Lane's new musical story line. The early 2000s are a weird time for pop culture and not even Queen Amy Sherman-Palladino is immune to misogyny. The Brady Bunch Variety Hour, 70s sitcoms, college applications, tuition fees,...
