Where you call, we will answer! This week's episode has us considering what seasonal vibes Amy Sherman Palladino gave to her other shows, if Rory actually felt remorseful after sleeping with a married Dean Forester, and if the reason the fandom is so hard on Zack lies in the fact that we're always comparing him to Dave Rygalski. What do the girlies think? Grab a cup of (iced)coffee and get...

You called, we answered. We’ve been deep in the trenches for our Gilmore Girls Summer!!! Eating strawberry shortcake, drinking lemonade, even rollerskating! But our besties had a variety of questions about our last few episodes that we’ve been dying to answer. What would we give to see Amy’s Season 7 and 8 play out? Is it always better to save your rewatch for the fall? And did Amy bring Jess back...

Last week we talked about how the girlies spent their summers on the show, but how could the Gilmore girls have spent their summer if things had been left a little differently? You asked, we answered. What if Luke had made amends with Rachel over the summer in Season One? What if Rory had sent Jess that letter from Washington in Season 3? And what if Rory had told Emily about her affair with Dean...

Hi book besties! Welcome back to another episode of Gilmore To Read. Today is one of my favorite episodes with the one and only Yulin Kuang— author, director, screenwriter, photographer, and amateur ice skater.

Our favorite couple is back! Maya and Hunter have returned to the pod after joining us last year as they made their way through Hunter’s first series watch. This week, in the midst of their second rewatch, they have more thoughts, opinions, and team proclamations to share with us. How did they feel about Luke in Season 6? Season 7’s very expensive fan fiction? The musical in the revival??? Grab a...

It’s the 22nd anniversary of Sookie and Jackson! (And Jess and Rory kissin’ by a lake, but we’ve talked about that enough).

Was Jason Stiles the one who got away? We’ve been dying to discuss this since our Season 4 recap on Patreon concluded and it’s finally arrived! What are Jason’s green flags? Beige flags? We know the man has red flags! Was he the right man at the wrong time for our favorite small town girl? Would they have gone the distance if Luke wasn’t waiting in the wings? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortab...

The plot lines, the drama, and Digger Stiles! We’ve finally wrapped up Season 4 on Patreon and we have  so much to say. From top to tail, these girlies adored the underdog season of this series.
