Disney’s Inside Out 2 was a huge hit this summer. Today, Jackie and Catherine dig into the new characters - FEELINGS! - and how they relate to our beloved Gilmore Girls main characters. 

Who has “Fear” running the show? How about “Anxiety”? Who could use a bit more “Joy”? 

If you haven’t seen the movie yet, don’t worry, no Inside Out spoilers. (Just Gilmore spoilers).

And of course, their first kiss.

Lane Kim is one of the Gilmore Girls fandom’s all-time favorite characters! Brilliantly played by Keiko Agena, Lane Kim had a strict, rules-based upbringing plus a burning passion for rock music and playing drums. 

In today’s episode of Gabbing Gilmore, we dig into the repression of Lane Kim. How did growing up in a strict environment impact Lane’s personality? How did Mrs. Kim influence her values? When was she willing to stray from being the obedient daughter?

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?

From Lane Kim to Paris Geller, and those who followed, was Rory a good friend? 

In this opening episode of Gabbing Gilmore Season 2, Jackie and Catherine address the most common fan complaints about Rory’s BFF status. Plus, they share their theory about why Rory and Lane’s friendship lasted so long & a few reflections on decades-long friendships in their own lives.

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.

Plus…should we blame Liz for Jess’ bad boy behavior? Join us for this juicy conversation.

How are Lorelai and Rory impacted by this? Why did Trix and Emily adhere to “prudish” standards, aside from just their conservative upbringing? We have theories. Join us for this deep dive into our favorite Stars Hollow show.

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?

This is a big one, people. So stay tuned for Part 2 of this discussion next week.

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!”

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…

As much as we love this show - really, truly LOVE this show - there are a couple of episodes that bring us down. Sometimes we skip right over them, or fast forward.

Today’s first episode in a new series called Episodes We Skip is A Vineyard Valentine in season 6. It sounds promising - a weekend away with Lorelai and Luke, Rory and Logan. But the weirdness is palpable: Luke is still dealing (awkwardly) with the April situation, and Logan has something he’s hiding. Meanwhile, Rory surprises us left and right. 

We discuss some of the character holes and inconsistencies: why doesn’t Luke know anything about Martha’s Vineyard? Why hasn’t he tried lobster before? 

Rory seems like a different person - going to the gym, cooking with ease - what gives? And what does this say about her relationship with Lorelai?

Plus, Luke continues to be a “grumpypuss,” the ultimate crankster. Will he ever snap out of it?

But don’t worry, we’ll try to find the redeeming moments of the episode, too: the sweet moments, the funny ones, and the moments that give us hope.

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.

🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything Gilmore Girls is on the table! 

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!

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?

Here are 10 times Emily broke us. Get out your tissues, townies! Jackie and Catherine dig up some of the most poignant moments today.

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.

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!

We’re back with Part 2 of 2 in this bonus episode recap of the 90-minute Winter episode of Gilmore Girls, A Year in The Life.

We get into Rory’s career as a 32 year-old: is this the journalist dream she had imagined? Why is she in London so much, and why isn’t Lorelai giving more advice? Plus, does Mitchum know about the “affair”?

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. 

Finally, we get serious, too. There are some tear-jerking moments in Winter so grab your tissues!

No Gilmore Girls fan can forget Dave Rygalski’s legendary speech to Mrs. Kim. Lane wants to go to the prom with Dave, and he’s determined to make it happen!

In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine go through his speech, line by line, to explore what makes it so compelling, lovable, and memorable. 

Is it his adherence to safe driving and healthy habits, like flossing?

Is it his renunciation of drugs, carbonation, and video games?

Or is it his jacket, tie, and determined confidence?

Through it all, we can’t help but compare him to Jess and Zach. We have a few thoughts about how he distinguishes himself as boyfriend of the year. 

Because, really, Lane Kim deserved it.  

Episodes mentioned:

Ep. 11: Single moms on Gilmore Girls

Ep. 20: Lane Kim Part 1: the repression

Ep. 21: Lane Kim Part 2: the rebellion

Ep. 23: Lane Kim Part 3: does Lane need justice?
