It’s about to get very marvelous here this week on the podcast.

This one’s for the girls…the non-Gilmore girls. It’s Women’s History Month and we think the other women on this show needed a little justice. Well…a few of them at least.

But we thought it was time to...

Is Lane Kim our teenage Lorelai Gilmore? This week, Tara and Haley are exploring whether or not Lane’s upbringing is a real-time reflection of what Lorelai’s upbringing was for the audience? We’ve heard about Lorelai’s home life, even witnessed a flashback, but did the writers give us a mini Lorelai in the character of Lane to personify her past? Where do they intersect and where do they differ? G...

We’ve brought our favorite couple back to chat about Lane Kim and her relationship with Zack. Why does the fandom have such an aversion to their relationship?

…or was he? This week, Tara and Haley are mining whether or not Luke Danes was actually “all in” on Lorelai Gilmore. From the moment he utters those words on their first date in Season 5 Episode 3 to the ultimatum in the streets of Stars Hollow in the Season 6 finale, where did he go from “I am all in” to “I don’t like ultimatums”? The pro/con list will tell us. Grab a cup of coffee and get comfor...

Is January a "no plot just vibes" kind of month? We think so. And we also think you need a little cozy episode when the vibes are feeling pretty bleak.

After dreaming up A Gilmore Girls Christmas Special last month, one of our besties reminded us that we left out a pretty important detail: how does Logan learn about his daughter? Is Rory the new Anna Nardini? Does Emily Gilmore tell him? Or does Rory really have the audacity to call him herself and share the news? Also, is the Christmas Special an opportunity for the writers to redeem Dean? Grab...

Happy New Year, besties! We hope you’re having a fantastic start to 2026. This week, we have more to consider about the non-Gilmore Girls of the series; specifically Rachel, Sherry, and Lindsey. How could Rachel’s storyline have been improved on to match her hype? Did Christopher’s choices make us less endeared to Sherry? And would an apology tour from Rory Gilmore to Lindsey mended our relationsh...
