Town Meeting, a Gilmore Girls Rewatch Podcast

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess.

Buckle up, buttercup, you will never guess who this weeks towns person of the week is! The Harvard application has arrived and it is time to apply to Harvard! We somehow have a true crime pod within a pod, turns out we're all old because we watched The Monkees and The Brady Bunch, everyone should watch the Brady Bunch Variety Hour, and we discuss the beginning of geek chic by our favorite audio nerd.

Audio side note, unfortunately Emily has a never ending congested nose, we tried to get out all the sniffles we could in editing, but might have missed some.

"Shannnnnnnnne, come back!" In today's episode, we fight through the boring (sorry not sorry Francie!) to get to the...Christopher! It turns out these actors sure can act! Also discussed: the Sherrie/Shane parallel, cursed movie adaptations, and of course, Fodderwink (you know, the kid from the Yearling?). Join us this week as we continue to absolutely despise Christopher and wish Lorelai would just shut the door already. 

(CW: Very brief mention of suicide in Books with Emily.)

In today's episode, we talk about our fave and least fave season 2 episodes, rank the Gilmore boys thus far, and pick our Townsperson of the Season! Also, Emily speaks like she's being fast-forwarded on a tape recorder, Sandra tells us all about the Bracebridge Dinner menu, and Jess has a forfeit to do (hint - it involves singing!). Come join us for our season 2 round-up!

Oy with the poodles already! It's the season finale! It is time for Sookie's wedding, and she is choosing possibly the most depressing song to walk down the aisle to. We get the famous (or infamous?) quote that we have a hot take on, agree or disagree? Dean shows up and ends up being a pretty good boyfriend this episode. I guess it's true, now that Jess is gone they are even better than before. Sookie is the chillest bride ever, and Lorelai thinks she's found her happily ever after. Don't worry, we did research the fabric of the bridesmaids dresses, definitely not the same as Rory's dance dress! And PSA, "This Kiss" was written by Faith Hill, not Shania Twain. Also, we finally drop a well deserved F bomb. Join us this week for the season 2 finale!

So what happens when the Town Meeting girls get contacted* by two (2!) Gilmore Girls actors in one week? Well, they freak out of course. 

Join us next Wednesday (06/15/22) at 8pm pacific (or 11pm eastern) on the Clubhouse app, over at the Remarkist club to watch "Dear Emily and Richard" live with us!! We will be chatting about the episode and hanging out, so grab your phone and get some snacks! 

*And by contact, I mean, they liked us on instagram. Still counts!

Lorelai is graduating from business school and Rory decides to celebrate with CRIME (specifically truancy). In this episode: learn all about Washington SQUARE Park (even though we call it Washington State Park about a dozen times, west coast best coast! - xo Jess), continue our study of Jess Mariano's eclectic literature preferences, and even learn a surprising character detail from his shirt! Seth MacFarlane wants to eat the rich (specifically Emily Gilmore), Jess (cohost) manages to squeeze the words "boss baby" into the episode, and Sandra schools us all on what is and is not "the big apple." Spoiler alert: Burbank, California is not New York City. Join us for what is both the penultimate episode of season 2, and potentially the best Dean/best Chris episode of the  entire series???

Luke's gone fishing, folks, but that's okay because Lorelai can now terrorize The Hungry Diner people instead. It turns out there were two Karens in this episode, and only one of them is actually named that. Join us this week as we discuss busybodies (Babbette was in a cult?), weaponized incompetence (Richard...open a manuel, for the love of god), and of course, the fallout from the car accident (*furiously kicks duffle bag, angrily*). If we can take anything from this episode, it's that Jess - the no-good, dirty wolf, evil anti-christ, devil boy who purposely crashes cars and breaks girls - is gone and he's not coming back...right? I'm sure Dean will be just fine!

It's time for the most anticipated conversation of Season 2! We talk about..."A Film By Kirk." Oh, also, there was a car accident or something. Sandra introduces a new but hopefully not used to much segment, we have a slightly different approach to Towns Person of the Week, we say goodbye to one character (for all of 2 minutes), and another starts to weasel his way in again, (also, for all of 2 minutes). Join us this week as we discuss how Lorelai treats Jess like the antichrist, Luke shows his true colors, Rory continues to be treated like a child, and we do an in depth scene by scene script reading of "A Film by Kirk."

In part one of this dramatic-but-sort-of-disjointed episode, we talk about movies (Sandra talks about eleven!!! different movies, all referenced in the span of two minutes), academics (Town Meeting's official statement: at the very least, get your high school diploma, and for pete's sake, stop trash talking trade schools!), tutoring smart boys (and emotionally cheating on your angry boyfriend with said smart boy), and paths in life (college? no college? how about being a journalist in a war-torn country?). Also discussed: Luke treating Rory like an adult, where did Jess learn his magic tricks, and of course, the Yearling. Be warned, we absolutely lose it towards the end of this episode!
