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? 

Join us for "the best of Gabbing Gilmore" with this deep dive into Lane Kim.

Calling Team Robert!! Today, we’re interviewing Nick Holmes, the actor who played Robert “Grimaldi” in Gilmore Girls! 

We find out about his adventures with the Life and Death Brigade, his epic paintball gun scene, working with Alexis Bledel, his true thoughts about Kirk, the way he started heckling Matt Czuchry, and what kind of business he would own in Stars Hollow.

Plus, you’ll find out which other part he auditioned for. Would he have made a good Dean? How about Tristan?

Nick Holmes is a fan-favorite at Fan Fest. We ask him what keeps him coming back as he’s always generous with his time, completely weaving himself into the fabric of the weekend, interacting with fans and sharing stories.

And we couldn’t NOT ask Nick about his legendary hair!

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.

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?

Lots of people in the Gilmore Girls fandom say that high school Rory was too good for Jess, but adult Jess was too good for Rory. 

Is this true? Today, sisters and Gilmore junkies Jackie and Catherine dive into the nuances behind this idea. 

What does it mean to be “too good” for someone? Jackie has a 7-part framework for what she thinks it means!

Once we heard the phrase, “Rory aged like milk and Jess aged like wine,” we knew we needed to get to the bottom of this. 

Can we appreciate adult Jess without putting Rory down? How do her accomplishments factor into this? And more importantly….should they? 

How does Jess’s troubled past contribute to their relationship problems, and much of a “pass” should we give him? 

Get ready, townies. We’re goin’ deep!

One of the biggest complaints about the Gilmore Girls revival – A Year in the Life – is Rory’s stagnant career.

After seeing Rory Gilmore’s dreams of becoming a journalist somewhat fade, we have to wonder… Are there other professions that would suit Rory even better?

She has many skills, and lots of writing experience, but was she really destined to become the next Christiane Amanpour?

With a little help from our Patreon community, sisters and Gilmore superfans Jackie and Catherine dive into lots of job and career suggestions for Rory Gilmore, from publisher to event planner, and many more!

Did Luke really make out with Crazy Carrie? Why is she called Crazy Carrie? How did she finally charm “Butch Danes”?

Today, sisters and Gilmore superfans Jackie and Catherine answer listener questions in this mini-grab bag episode.

Plus, is it realistic that Paris Geller wasn’t valedictorian at Chilton? And would Paris really be totally fine with it?

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.

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?
