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.

Where is Stars Hollow? 

How old is Luke?

Where did Dean go?

Why didn’t we get to see Lorelai and Chris’s marriage?

Are you ready to do Christmas like a Gilmore Girl? We all know Lorelai and Rory’s holiday traditions: stockings on the stairs, slice and bake cookies that they pretend to decorate. 

But what about two of the best Gilmore Girls hostesses? 

Emily and Sookie, of course!

In this December bonus episode, Gilmore aficionados Jackie & Catherine talk all about the festive food, drinks, holiday decor, music, gifts and movies that these two would love. 

And we get a little personal about which of our own holiday traditions match up with those of Stars Hollow and Hartford. 

Come join us for a cozy chat as you cook, shop & wrap - to get you in the holiday mood, true Gilmore style! (Don’t worry, we won’t force you to sip eggnog. But hopefully we can get our hands on some peppermint coffee from Weston’s!)

Were Rory and Tristan “end game”? Sisters and co-hosts Jackie and Catherine are joined by a special guest to discuss. 

Why do people love Tristan so much? We explore whether this character, played by Chad Michael Murray, had any character growth over the series. And whether he was a good match for Rory Gilmore. 

Today, we’re diving into Romeo & Juliet, the dance, the kiss, Tristin’s date with Paris, the infamous P.J. Harvey tickets - all of it! 

Plus, was military school the right ending for Tristan? Let’s chat.

Every Gilmore Girls fan loves to chat about Lorelai, Rory, Emily, Luke, Lane, and Sookie. And Rory’s guys, of course. 

But what about the bit characters we only see once or twice? 

The smaller characters of Gilmore Girls add to the charm of Stars Hollow, the Hartford society scene, and even Yale. 

And sometimes they impact the storylines in big ways! 

Today, sisters (and GG diehard fans) Jackie and Catherine explore the big impact of bit characters on Gilmore. Part 1, because of course we couldn’t fit everyone in one episode. 😉

Along with being quirky, caffeinated, and fast-talking, the other common adjective some critics use to describe Lorelai Gilmore is “selfish.” Including the way she mothers Rory.

Today, sisters and Gilmore experts Jackie and Catherine explore:

• What IS a selfish mom?
• 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?
• What are the moments when Lorelai put her daughter’s needs, social life, and future above her own?

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.

What is the best scene of all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls? Today, sisters and GG experts Jackie and Catherine are declaring which one should win the Emmy for Best TV scene ever - if there was such a category!

We’ll give you a hint - not only does this epic scene involve Lorelai and Rory, but we see Emily and Richard, plus a bit of Mozart and mind games. 

Are you getting closer to the answer? 

Come join us for a deep-dive discussion of everyone’s favorite beloved series as we chat about the BEST. SCENE. EVER.

This month, Jackie and Catherine experienced an immersive Stars Hollow weekend like no other, this year's Fan Fest Firelight Event in Guilford, CT!

This episode is a bonus so we could bring you all the Gab. What cast members did we meet? Did we, in fact, dress alike all weekend? And how many times did Jackie "pull a Lorelai" and buy coffee from the same coffee shop in one day?  It was all too much fun to keep to ourselves! 

A big thank you to Jennie and Marcus Whittaker for planning this amazing Fan Fest for the Gilmore Girls community. We are so grateful!

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? 

{Note to our beloved townies}: if you’ve recently experienced loss or are feeling heavy grief right now, feel free to skip this one. We’ll always be here for you when you’re ready. If you need something more uplifting, check out Top 10 Fun Musical Moments of Gilmore Girls.

Okay, Team Logan, you’re up! Today, sisters and Gilmore Girls aficionados Jackie and Catherine dive into the very early days of Rory and Logan’s romance. 

From the Life and Death Brigade to the Male Yale Party, and all the flirtations in between, we’re discussing why this romance was so different from Rory’s earlier boyfriends. 

Do we like Logan in the beginning? 

Why does Rory end up liking a guy who made a terrible first impression on her? Let’s get into it!
