Why are  the women of Gilmore Girls often the ones holding everything (and everyone) together? In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine - who are also moms and feminists - explore the idea of emotional labor: the behind-the-scenes effort it takes to manage feelings, smooth over conflicts, and keep relationships running.

We’ll talk about how this shows up on the show - whether it’s Emily’s role as corporate wife, Lorelai protecting Christopher from shame, or Rory juggling expectations—and how it connects to terms like the mental load, cognitive load, and invisible work (don’t worry, we’ll explain the differences!)

From planning social events to supporting men to have healthy, quality relationships, the women of Stars Hollow are constantly doing the emotional heavy lifting - and we’re digging into why that matters.

Cozy season is upon us! And who does COZY better than Gilmore Girls? 

It makes you want to grab a coffee at Luke’s and snuggle up in an oversized “Rory” sweater. It’s the ultimate “comfort food.” 

But it’s not just the donuts, clothes and pumpkin decorations that make our favorite Stars Hollow show cozy. Today, sisters and co-hosts Jackie & Catherine break down the true recipe for coziness and why GG nails it so well. This includes environment, nourishment, traditions, community, and belonging. 

After all, this is the comfort podcast for your favorite comfort show. Welcome to Gabbing Gilmore!

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.

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.

Ep. 11: Single moms on Gilmore Girls

Ep. 20: Lane Kim Part 1: the repression

Ep. 21: Lane Kim Part 2: the rebellion
