Friday Night Dinner with Morgan & Rachelle: A Gilmore Girls Podcast

We're back with another hot fire flames episode -- literally. Paris is burning while her mom is getting plastic surgery in parts unknown, and her parent's marriage goes up in flames and the papers. Lorelai and Max are snogging at school during parents day after he makes her his ex-girlfriend's Osso Bucco recipe, and naturally the whole school is abuzz with a hot new vat of steamy steamy gossip. Plus, Sookie is taking life by the squash blossoms and asking out her produce guy. This is an action-packed episode you won't want to miss.

Welcome to our second Harry Potter-themed mini-sode! In this episode, Morgan and Rachelle combine their decade (plus)-long obsession with Harry Potter with their love of Gilmore Girls to sort the residents of Stars Hollow into their respective Hogwarts houses. In this sorting episode, we're tackling the schoolmates of season 1: Lane, Paris, and Tristan. We also discuss what animal each would bring with them to Hogwarts, their best or favorite Hogwarts class, favorite or most used spell, and what their occupation would be in the wizarding world. Let the magic begin, muggles!

Mischief managed!

"Forgiveness, is more than saying sorry." - From the 2005 film, Just Friends, starring Anna Farris and Ryan Reynolds. It's the holiday season, which means it's time for the annual Stars Hollow Holiday pageant, and Emily's famous apple tarts. But thanks to the blowup fight between Emily and Lorelai last episode, Lorelai has been uninvited to Christmas dinner and instead spends her Friday evening at Luke's eating a holiday-themed burger in the shape of Santa Claus. However, an urgent voicemail from Rory have Luke and Lorelai rushing to the hospital where Richard is being treated for a minor heart-related scare and Emily is rolling her eyes at Luke and Lorelai's obvious attraction for one another between bouts of yelling at defenseless nurses (shout-out to Coach Sue!). Plus, we discuss the Hawaii missile crisis of 2018, and Rachelle introduces a new segment of the podcast: Pop Culture Corner!

"Ro Ro needs a schnack." - Morgan. What else is new? This episode, of course! And boy oh boy have we got dish for you. Rory and Dean are headed to the Chilton formal, while Lorelai is stuck on the couch with a back spasm after duking it out with a dress before being nursed back to health with Emily's smashed banana toast. Turns out, Lorelai isn't the only one going fist-to-cuffs in this episode: Dean and Tristan have a small altercation on the dance floor. And when Rory doesn't come home after the dance, chaos ensues in a screamin' kitchen showdown. Grab your snacks, because this episode is about to get juicy.

Welcome to our first Harry Potter-themed mini-sode! In this episode, Morgan and Rachelle combine their decade (plus)-long obsession with Harry Potter with their love of Gilmore Girls to sort the residents of Stars Hollow into their respective Hogwarts houses. For this first (of many) sorting episode, we're tackling the suitors of season 1: Dean, Luke, and Max. We also discuss what animal each would bring with them to Hogwarts, their best or favorite Hogwarts class, favorite or most used spell, and what their occupation would be in the wizarding world. Let the magic begin, muggles!

We smell snow! It's the first snowfall of the season and that means everything's magical in Stars Hollow. Lorelai and Max have their first date over fiesta burgers and a scary movie, Rory gets snowed in at her grandparent's house and introduces them to national treasure that is frozen pizza, Lane makes her move with Rick Bloomenfeld's thick mane of hair, and Luke's heart is left broken and freezing in the snow alongside the Battle of Stars Hollow reenactors. So grab a slice of pizza or cozy up by the fire with some cocoa and join us for this episode of Friday Night Dinner.

If you like Pina Coladas, then you'll love this episode, because we've had two or three of them. Rachelle and Morgan sit down, drinks in hand, to talk about Rory's first kiss, and their own first kiss stories. (Spoiler alert: They both involve vehicles, funnily enough and unbeknownst to each other.) We also discuss the shortcomings of deep dish pizza (no one orders pizza for the sauce, except apparently Sookie and Chicagoans), why soda should never be called "pop" (again, looking at you, Chicago), the insane amount of junk food in this episode (Swedish fish dipped in Nutella anyone?), and Lorelai playing matchmaker mom. Share your first kiss stories with us!

Settle in, folks: This mini-sode town meeting is being called to order! Join us for our second unofficial Stars Hollow town meeting as we discuss the heart-throbbingly handsome Chi-town transplant Dean Forester with special guest (and fourth unofficial host of the pod), Morgan's husband Rudy. Rory's got her first beau, and we're eager to see if this relationship is one for the ages, or doomed to Dean-solve. (See what we did there?)

Like this episode? Put a Post-It on it! It's Rory's birthday and we're celebrating with a brand new episode of Friday Night Dinner. Emily's serving up pudding in crystal bowls and shopping for Mont Blanc pens and pink guitar-shaped purses with Lorelai, Richard is taking Cosmo quizzes to find out if he's an Autumn or Summer, Luke is baking coffee cake and blowing up balloons, and Rory's sneaking around with hunky Dean, who is the most thoughtful gift giver that ever lived. (*Swoon*) So join us for the party, and don't forget to bring the ice, because it's rude to show up empty handed, and parties *always* run out of ice. (Just don't leave your wallet in a grocery cart.)

In our first official minisode (and unofficial Stars Hollow town meeting), Rachelle and Morgan are joined by a special guest to discuss in true Gilmore Girls fashion the pros and cons of one Max Medina, English teacher at Chilton and potential suitor of Lorelai Gilmore. Is Max the right man for Lorelai? Is their relationship in the best interest of both parties, or doomed to fail?
