No, the fandom of Gilmore Girls isn’t culty!!!!! …okay, maybe a little. New York Times’ Best Selling Author and host of Sounds Like A Cult Podcast, Amanda Montell, joins us to talk about the mob mentality that surrounds the opinions of Gilmore Girls, particularly the visceral reactions to Rory Gilmore’s character, on this, the day of her 40th birthday. Last year’s episode, Happy Birthday Rory Gilmore, Everybody Hates You prompted a wide spectrum of reactions from the fandom; where some backpedaled on their criticism to show her love as others defended their analysis based on her character’s choices. So why do we feel so strongly about Rory’s fall from grace? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable, because Tara, Haley, and Amanda have more to say.

Be sure to be on the look out for our tandem episode with Amanda on her podcast Sounds Like A Cult, where she breaks down the history of cultish communities and asks insightful questions about where the Gilmore Girls fandom falls on the spectrum.

Join us at City Winery St. Louis on November 7th for a Deep-Dive Gilmore to Say Friendsgiving or at Helium Comedy Club Atlanta on December 5th for Happy Birthday Besties to celebrate Tara and Haley's Birthday!
