55. June 3rd
June 3rd is a pivotal date in Gilmore Girls history! And what better day to celebrate?
If you can just hear Lorelai saying “June thirrrrrrd,” then this is the episode for you.
Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine pop in with a surprise Tuesday episode to mark the occasion. We dive into why this date is so important to the fandom, what happened on each of those days, and similarities they share.
After all, these are big events - Rory’s court date for stealing a yacht and Lorelai’s planned wedding with Luke!
Both dates have lasting consequences for the Gilmore Girls, lead to major changes for each character’s arc, and give Lorelai a lot to consider.

54. Carrie Bradshaw x Lorelai Gilmore
As the new season of And Just Like That returns, we have to wonder… is Carrie Bradshaw anything like our beloved Lorelai Gilmore?
In today’s deep dive, sisters Jackie and Catherine analyze the similarities between two popular protagonists of the early 2000s: Carrie Bradshaw (in the Sex and the City days) and Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls.
Topics include:
- Why did both characters deeply crave independence? How did it impact their lives and romantic relationships? Where was Carrie’s family?
- Are they both “pick me” girls, or simply free-spirited unique women?
- Lorelai and Carrie’s relationship to food, exercise, and their bodies
- What they have in common when it comes to the hot button issues: politics and money!
- And, of course, the men in their lives. Does Luke Danes have anything in common with Mr. Big? Where did Jason Stiles and Aleksandr Petrovsky both go wrong?

53. May Bonus. He's My Luke: the love triangle of Lorelai, Luke, and Nicole.
Luke and Lorelai are really close friends, but halfway through the series, we’re not sure if it’ll ever become a true romance! When Nicole Leahy appears in season 3 and gets closer to Luke, Lorelai is thrown for a loop.
Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine discuss a fascinating love triangle on Gilmore Girls - Lorelai, Luke, and Nicole!
We discuss:
- Another love triangle that mirrors this one
- Theories about why the heck Luke did what he did on the cruise
- Is Nicole actually mean? Or did Lorelai deserve a little snark?
- The character we WISH they’d brought back in season 3 instead!

Do they have similar entertaining styles? How about shopping?

Taylor Doose: Friend or Foe? (Best of Gabbing)
Taylor Doose is one of Stars Hollow’s most important characters. After all, he basically runs the whole town! (Admit that you love all those festivals.)
Jackie and Catherine have some theories to test with you. On some days, Taylor (played by Michael Winters) is a little bit like the brash Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men. And on other days, he channels the spunky and spirited Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation.
So take this quiz with us. Which character is Taylor most similar to?
Join us for "the best of Gabbing Gilmore" with this deep dive into Taylor Doose.

51. Help Wanted? Richard and Lorelai at the office
Richard Gilmore is setting up his new business and Lorelai quickly comes to the rescue to help. But not everything goes smoothly.
In today’s episode, sisters, Jackie and Catherine dig into the complicated relationship between Richard and Lorelai. And all the ways that the office set up, reflects their larger relationship.
Does Richard have too much pride? Could Lorelai have done anything differently? Did Richard have any actual business training? Why was Lorelai eager to help? Let’s jump in!

_________________________________________
It’s hard being a teenage girl. And even harder if you’re focused, driven, and a high-achiever like Paris with only one goal in mind - Harvard. Paris believes that her prestigious, elite private school, Chilton Academy will help her get there.
But when college acceptance letters arrive, she’s shocked. What happens later that evening at the Chilton bicentennial is… well, pretty disastrous.
Today, on Gabbing Gilmore, sisters Jackie and Catherine dig into a Gilmore Girls moment that is simultaneously cringey, heartbreaking, and witty. In short, a train wreck that we can’t NOT gape at!
We discuss:
- Why this moment was so difficult for Paris
- Whether it was really tied to her sex life or not (why did she actually use the word sl%t)
- How other characters could have done better - we’re looking at you, Headmaster Charleston and Richard Gilmore!
- How Paris’s bedroom gave us clues about her inevitable breakdown
- Whether her infamous interview could have been avoided….
… and more!

Best of Gabbing: 10 Times Emily Gilmore Made us Cry
Join us for the Best of Gabbing Gilmore! Emily Gilmore is a complicated, often controlling woman who doesn’t usually show a warm-and-fuzzy side. (Especially with her daughter.)
But throughout the Gilmore Girls series, we get glimpses of her softer vulnerability. Remember when she tried to buy a plane? How about that road trip to Mia's wedding?

48. March bonus: Teacher-student relationships on teen dramas
Paris Geller isn’t the only student to get involved with a professor on teen dramas. Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine explore the many (many, many) teen shows of the ‘90s and early 2000s that featured teacher-student relationships.
There are almost too many shows to count. In addition to Gilmore Girls, we chat about Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, My So-Called Life, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars - whew!
First of all, why is this such a common theme on teen dramas? How has our notion of consent, and what’s appropriate, changed over the years?
We discuss whether these shows romanticize kids wanting to grow up quickly, teacher harassment, and how scandalous events of the late nineties inspired these ripped-from-the-headlines stories.
And, excuse us, but did the girl from Pretty Little Liars actually marry her teacher??
This is a topic best for adults, so if young ears are listening, we’d recommend popping in some headphones or airpods. Also, if topics like grooming and S.A. are tough for you, treat yourself kindly.

47. Welcome to Stars Hollow, Jess!
Let’s talk about Jess Mariano, the mysterious boy who arrives in Stars Hollow from the big city.
His arrival is bumpy to say the least! From stealing garden gnomes to a phony murder outside of Doose’s Market, the presence of Jess really shakes up this small, quaint Connecticut town.
Today, sisters, Jackie and Catherine dive into Jess Mariano‘s early days in Stars Hollow, including the reactions of Luke, Lorelai, Rory, Taylor, and the town.
Did Jess ever plan to give it a chance? Did Lorelai say too much too soon? Let’s get into it!

Pop culture references abound and, of course, we have to dissect them. From 10,000 steps to the Les Miserables movie and everything in between.

42. Rory and criticism: does she have Golden Child Syndrome?
Many fans complain about Rory’s personality after her high school days at Chilton. Did she really become a different person at Yale? Did she suffer from Golden Child Syndrome?
In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine dive into Rory’s relationship to criticism. We tackle outward criticism from Mitchum that she doesn’t “have it,” Dean getting mad at Rory after Jess buys her basket, the backlash about her ballerina article at the Yale Daily News, and much more.
What’s Rory’s go-to reaction when she receives criticism, and why?
Catherine can’t help but bring up the Enneagram, too. This might explain why Rory can tolerate, and even embrace, some of Lorelai’s bizarre antics.

- What’s the difference between being selfish and self-centered?
- What are society’s expectations for mothers today, and why aren’t dads often called selfish?

And finally, was it selfish for Lorelai to keep Rory from the Gilmores and from Christopher?
Today is a brutally honest, “let's get real” kind of episode.

35. Dead Uncles and Professors: Death on Gilmore Girls
Today Jackie and Catherine cover a bittersweet topic. Although death sounds extremely serious (and it is!)... on Gilmore Girls it is often infused with compassion, friendship, sweetness, and humor. Nothing stays too heavy for too long on our favorite Stars Hollow show.
We explore:
* How did some of the townspeople’s deaths shape important plot points for Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, and others?
* Who rose to the occasion when their family or friends needed support? And who didn’t?
* What do we love most about how the town of Stars Hollow reacts to its grieving members?
* And why did Rory cry so much at Stan’s funeral?

S2 Ep24~ Are the Gilmore Girls “Pick-Me Girls”?
Are Lorelai Gilmore and Rory Gilmore so-called “Pick Me Girls”? Not like other girls? Cool girls?
Jackie and Catherine are parsing through many complicated pop culture labels, how they apply to our favorite Gilmore Girls, feminist takes, and the misogyny behind the name “pick me girl.”
Whether or not Meredith Grey invented it, this term has taken on a life of its own. We get into 2000s pop culture and music influences, like Sex and the City, Avril Lavigne, Pink, and even Taylor Swift.
Plus, lots of discussion about some of the side Gilmore characters, like Shane, Nicole, Lindsay, and even the Stars Hollow moms. As Miss Patti would say, “buckle up!” It’s gonna be a big one.

Catch Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
We know, we know. You’re pretty mad that Lane married Zach, had babies early, and didn’t wind up a rock star.
Most Gilmore Girls fans are disappointed about how Lane Kim’s story ends - in the regular series AND in A Year in the Life. We’ve heard you yell, “Justice for Lane!”
Today, Jackie and Catherine dig through some of these life-altering moments in Lane’s life and ask - - should Lane’s life have turned out differently?

We’re back to discuss Part 2 in a 3-part deep dive about Lane Kim. She was one of the most beloved Gilmore Girls characters, but also one of the most repressed.
After the rebellion comes the repression! So, how did Lane decide when to rebel from Mrs. Kim and when not to? Like eating french fries, hiding music under the floorboards, and playing in a rock band…
How did some of our favorite guys like Dave Rygalski (played by Adam Brody) and Henry Cho factor into Lane’s difficult decisions?

Happy Valentine's Day, sweet townies! Today we're delivering a special Gabbing Gilmore bonus episode. No, not about the most romantic moments or the sweetest gestures.

S2 Ep16~ Taylor Doose: Friend or Foe?
Taylor Doose is one of Stars Hollow’s most important characters. After all, he basically runs the whole town! (Admit that you love all those festivals.)
Jackie and Catherine have some theories to test with you. On some days, Taylor (played by Michael Winters) is a little bit like the brash Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men. And on other days, he channels the spunky and spirited Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation.
So take this quiz with us. Which character is Taylor most similar to?

Lorelai Gilmore might be the most celebrated single mom in pop culture. She’s fun, independent, capable, and playful. Everyone in Stars Hollow loves her!
But is this experience relatable for other single moms? Today, Jackie and Catherine discuss how single motherhood is viewed in the U.S., and compare Lorelai’s experience to other single moms on Gilmore Girls, including Liz, Anna, and Mrs. Kim.
When women become mothers, do they get to have their own desires and needs? Can they meaningfully ask for support? We get into some meaty topics today, like individualism, choice, and poverty.

Hatred for Rory Gilmore runs pretty rampant on the socials. How did everyone’s beloved bookwormish, introvert-y, coffee-loving, fast-talking teenager in America’s mother-daughter sweetheart combo become so hated? Yeah, yeah, we know about Dean. But there’s a lot more there.
Jackie and Catherine discuss - is the hatred warranted? Did Gilmore Girls’ favorite daughter skate by on privilege, completely unaware of her societal privilege? Is she as spoiled as people say?
