60. July Bonus. Episodes we skip: A Vineyard Valentine
✨ This episode is available to our paid subscribers, who receive bonus content every month. 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. ☕ Show the world that you’re a Gilmore superfan with sweatshirts, tees, tote bags and more from our Merch Shop! 🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table.👋We’d love to hear from you.

59. Bible Kiss Bible: Dave Rygalski’s legendary speech
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 GirlsEp. 20: Lane Kim Part 1: the repressionEp. 21: Lane Kim Part 2: the rebellionEp. 23: Lane Kim Part 3: does Lane need justice? ✨ If you want more chats about Gilmore Girls, join our Patreon, where we put out extra bonus episodes every month. ☕ Show the world that you’re a Gilmore superfan with sweatshirts, tees, tote bags and more from our Merch Shop! 🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table.👋We’d love to hear from you.

58. Is Rory too good for Jess? Jess too good for Rory?
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! ✨ If you want more Gilmore chats, join our Patreon, where we put out extra bonus episodes every month. ☕ Show the world that you’re a Gilmore superfan with sweatshirts, tees, tote bags and more from our Merch Shop! 🔎Remember, this is not a spoiler-free podcast, so everything is on the table.👋We’d love to hear from you.
