Coffee With a Shot of Cynicism

Instagram and Twitter posts open the show and Eleni's taking something personally. We're talking about death and funerals and the feelings that come with that. Dean is getting on our last nerve - we mean it this time! Communication problems are still plaguing the couples of Stars Hollow and Lorelai is an enabler.

For some reason, we're taking on Hollywood's obsession with women's looks and internalized misogyny... which somehow leads to talking about Janet Jackson's nipple. Yeah, we're confused, too. Lorelai and Jess agree to get along for Rory's sake, but things go horribly wrong because they're too similar. Introverts unite! Rory's plans are derailed when Paris and Jess show up. She doesn't mind, until D...

Christopher returns with a special guest star and we both agree he's still the worst. Lane's grounding leads to one of the most perfectly executed stealth plans. Emily and Richard's behaviour and resentment towards their daughter leads to a debate about parenting and misogyny, and we might have solved the mystery of why the Gilmores hate each other! Have you been keeping up with the quizzes poppin...

A conversation about the WB and its shows has Jeffrey feeling picky and Eleni being sneaky. The town's annual basket bid-a-thon has everyone doubting Dean and Rory's relationship. But Sookie and Jackson are still going strong and making a big commitment, despite their apparent lack of communication. We attempt to solve the mystery of Cesar the cook/waiter, but fall WAY short.

When Lorelai's house is taken over by termites, she shows us why you should never be best friends with your child. Richard comes to Stars Hollow and shows us that he's DEFINITELY NOT friends with his child. Censorship, loans, pyjamas, and a special appearance by Debbie, Jeffrey's mom.

We're discussing our favourite episode of the season - The Bracebridge Dinner! Thank God that paper company got snowed-in in Chicago because we got to see the whole town interact in 19th century England. We're also talking about dirty fan-fiction, vicious fandoms and A Year in the Life.

It's a 2-for-1, 2-in1, 2-become-1 episode! Not only are we discussing episode 2x09 of Gilmore Girls, we're also sharing our thoughts on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. We're also mixing sports and television and introducing our Gilmore Girls Bracket. There can only be ONE winner!

Never has sitting alone at lunch caused this much drama! Rory's lunchtime habits sets off a weird series of events both for her and Lorelai. Jeffrey gets super harsh with Fran, a 90 year-old woman, and Eleni isn't having it. But you know what they can both agree on? Mia is annoying. Eleni goes in on Scott Patterson and ruins the podcast's chances of ever getting him on the show.

We're giving you the debutante lesson you didn't know you needed thanks to our pals over at Southern Living. Rory's coming out - into society, not of the closet - and Lorelai's telling her all the reasons she shouldn't. Spoilers: they all have to do with the patriarchy.

One phone call from a sister changes the fandom forever! It's JESS! He's arriving! When the hysteria over HIM dies down, we're discussing Eleni's gnome collection, how she and Jeffrey met, and why her dreams are so freakin' weird.

Season 2 is really hitting its stride in these two episodes! It's becoming more and more clear that Max and Lorelai aren't meant to be. There are so many red flags popping up, we're getting dizzy. But a drag queen-filled bachelorette party has us asking ourselves if anyone really cares if Michel is gay or straight and if anyone really likes Christopher. The best way to deal with a breakup? Hit the...

Lorelai's mad at Emily and Emily's mad at Lorelai. Rory's mad at Dean and Dean's mad at Rory. Don't worry, though. Things end well. And hell may have frozen over because we can KIND OF see where Dean is coming from. Can you say Hyung Yung? Lane's being shipped to Korea and may never be back. Elective summer school, college admissions, tiaras vs. veils, and so much more. We're embarking on a readin...

Welcome back! We're kicking season 2 off with a bang! During our hiatus, some people didn't take too kindly to our Dean posts and we're sharing the nastiest responses with you before jumping back into the Gilmore world and discussing marriage proposals, reconciliation, and mother-daughter relationships.

It's the last episode of season one and we have a lot to talk about! Somewhat engagements, flowers, troubadours, goodbyes and I love yous. We're revisiting some of the subjects we've talked about in past episodes and reflecting on some of our best moments. Stay tuned for season 2!

Have you decided to take on the Gilmore Girls Readathon (@gilmoreathon)? Jeffrey and Eleni are sharing their book picks for the challenge in case you're missing some titles and want some suggestions for your ever-growing book piles. After, we'll discuss the penultimate episode of season one where Rory's moody and having a hard time dealing with the people in her life and Lorelai and Max are moving...

The OGG (Original Gilmore Girl) is in town and causing all kinds of trouble between Emily and Lorelai! The tension doesn't stop when she leaves town though. Emily takes a trip to Stars Hollow and is faced with some ugly realities. Plus, in honour of Lorelai the first, we're talking about the people in our lives who insult us and how feeling validated can help.

The aftermath of the of the breakup is a little... awkward. Rory tries to move on way too fast and Lorelai is moving backwards. Rory's making new friends and Lane is freaking out about a potential Korean doctor. We're also discussing the fanfiction world, sharing our fan mail and discussing the backlash to our Instagram posts.

Are you Team Braverman or Team Gilmore? Is Rachel the reason Lorelai and Luke didn't get together sooner? Have you ever been set up with a bigger creep than Chase? Have you ever been broken up with for a stupid reason? Things are getting messy and problematic!

Don't be alarmed! There's a new theme song for this week's episode. Christopher hits a nerve with Eleni. We both get a little personal in this episode and open up about the relationships with our own family members

Filler episodes = episodes where there isn't much plot development, but hilarity still ensues. We're tackling three episodes this time and talking about double dates, ditching concerts, loose chicks and Rune.

While doing research on the show, we discover an article about Sean Gunn (Kirk) and his brother that leads to an interesting debate. Things get loud when we discuss some of the most blatant examples of Gilmore immaturity and questionable behaviour. Get your shot glasses out! We're also sharing the Gilmore Girls drinking game for your next binge night!

Things are looking up when Rory asks Dean to the Chilton Formal/Dance/Ball and Lorelai and Emily are finally getting along and sharing some heartwarming moments. But everything goes to shit when Rory and Dean are found fast asleep by Ms. Chatty Patty and Lorelai and Emily exchange words. Heads up, things get messy and loud in this episode and Eleni can't get over how awful Dean's hair is.

A Glamour magazine article sparks a debate about the world's love of Gilmore Girls. Relationships are heating up, the gals are doing some kissing and there's a new teenage heartthrob in town - and Lane's obsessed him. Shout out to Rich Bloomenfeld and his majestic hair! We'd run our hands through it too.

Happy Birthday, Rory! Back-to-back birthday parties make for some interesting interactions in the Gilmore world. We're also talking about the repressed emotions of old people and Eleni uses the opportunity to vent about her family. A special shout-out to Amy Sherman-Palladino is also included for her Emmy nominations.

We're meeting Max Medina for the first time, attending a cat's wake and, in honour of Rory's epic breakdown, discussing our own struggles with school, grades and anxiety.
