Town Meeting, a Gilmore Girls Rewatch Podcast

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. In a rather heavy episode, we discuss some weird tension between two unlikely characters (Lorelai and Dean? So weird!), calling for pizza and then going to a diner (what happened to Joe, Lorelai?), and of course, 'the event' (and how we feel about it). Also in this episode, we debate over Luke Danes, talk about Charo and agree that Chandler and Monica > Ross and Rachel. (A small content warning: topics such as death of a parent/grandparent as well as grief are discussed.) Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's the Lord of the Rings Episode! No, wait. It's Digger's First Episode! Um, Naked Man Episode? Well, friends, it's all of the above, but to the TM Gals, it's the Boujie Episode (seriously, take a shot every time we say the word boujie!)

The season 4 opener!! Wait, no. Episode 2! It just feels like the season 4 opener. We recount our own dorm experiences, Sandra makes a season 1 connection with some mean girls, the mattress of hell that should be in a horror movie, and while we do talk briefly about ASP's ability to make real people, she does not understand that college kids will do nearly anything for money.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's Taylor Time! Er, Town Meeting time, actually. Come join us as Sandra explains the Sophia bit, Emily tells us all about the sarcastic queen Daria, and Jess begrudgingly talks about Taylor. Also in this episode: Jess's punishment for sucking at summaries (don't show her I said this!), Sandra stumbling over her pronunciations of multiple last names, and Emily laughing her way through our embarrassment.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Welcome to season 4, Townies! We start back in Stars Hollow after a small hiatus, where Sookie has bought every blue item in Stars Hollow, Taylor keeps talking about nuts and tips, and of course, the Gilmore Girls are back in town - at least, for a while because hello, it's the start of the Yale Years!!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Bring out the pomp and dust off the circumstance, it's time for graduation! The series 3 finale is filled with a lot of endings, but a lot of new beginnings, too. Join us as we chat about the ups and downs of the inn business, the will they/won't they of Luke and Lorelai, and the complete and utter lack of Christopher. We say a fond farewell to the season that brought us the end of Jess, the true end of Max, the tragic loss of Alex, and so much more.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's the fallout from Keg!Max!, in more ways than one. Lane really wants to know if she's punished or not, Rory really wants to know if she's going to prom or not, and Lorelai really wants to know if something happened in Kyle's bedroom or not. In this episode, we discuss Dean maybe pulling a Max (and/or a Christopher), reconned long lost fathers who stepped out for diapers (and never came back), and some tough parenting calls (so long Jess!). Join us as we lament Dave/Adam's early exit, laugh over a podcast kitty blooper, and of course, wonder where did all the ham go?

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Pour one out for Boy With Toothache, it's time for Keg! Max! Kyle's throwing the party of the year, Lane's as of yet unnamed band has it's first real gig, Lorelai has been drafted back into the booster club, and Jess isn't graduating. All jokes aside, this episode is notorious for a reason, and in this pod episode we have a number of discussions about consent and SA. We do so with the mindset that every viewer or listener's experiences will influence how they perceive and feel about scenes in this episode. We aren't here to make any calls about what does or doesn't happen, but we do want to share how viewing scenes like these (in GG and other comparable shows) impacted us as young people. Our comments and DMs are always open for thoughts on the episodes! And we promise, there are still lots of laughs in there, too.

Created by Sandra, Jess and Emily. We start this weeks episode with an unexpected Gilmore grandparents fuzzy feeling! I did not know those even existed, we meet Tobin for the first time, and then fantasize about the potential future that could have been. We discuss disgusting cakes along with the proper cake to frosting ratio, turns out the world's largest pizza is in fact....large, we date ourselves with a reference and with what (our) Jess does when she just needs to do something, and we cannot say Antonioli's(?). Also, what do you think? Did Richard make a good investment? Was Lorelai in the right for paying off the loan when/how she did? Join us this week for Lorelai's only birthday, may she be 35 forever.  Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. This week on the bits, Sandra mishears a clearly said word, Emily tell us all about Poe and his frankly awful life, and Jess brings us back to Stars Hollow with some jammies. Not going to lie, listeners, we were clearly tired in this episode, so expect a little loopiness. CW: Discussion of some pretty rough topics during Emily's section, including alcoholism, vices, and marrying 13 year old first cousins.  Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. "I forgot that you existed..." - Sandra, on this episode*.  Turns out even though some very memorable things happened in this episode (like, I don't know, a fire!), Sandra totally forgot about it. Thankfully, Jess and Emily remember it pretty well - it's the Poe episode! No, wait...It's the Fire episode! Actually, it's both. Join us as we defend Nicole's frostiness (What do you mean Luke doesn't tell her Lorelai's sleeping over?), praise Lorelai's skills (both as a manager and as a mom), and question Jess's decisions (Are you working just in case you get kicked out, even though working will be what gets you kicked out?). Also in this episode: Poe.  *Yes, that was a Taylor Swift reference.  Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Ladies and gents, this here is an S-tier podcast episode. That's right, this episode manages to hit every one of the Super Six talking points: 1. Speeches (C-SPAN!) 2. Sex talk (Paris!) 3. Soapbox (We have Big Feelings about how society pressures young women!) 4. Sneezing (Allergy med induced ex run-ins!) 6. Snail mail (Kirk is the worst mailman ever!) 7. Smut (We end up talking about 50 Shades of Gray somehow!) Joins us this week as we discuss The Big One, an episode that evokes a lot of emotions, many of them negative - but we still manage to have a good time!   - Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod!

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. "Hi, it's me. I'm the problem, it's me!" - the swan who beaked Jess, probably. Join us as we talk about "it" (as in sex!), our love for Lorelai's perfect man (who is not Luke?) and embarrassing mothers (Mrs. Kim, come on!). Also in this episode: frank discussions on birth control, knowing when to leave a fight with your partner for later, and whether or not we confided about "it" with our own mothers beforehand.  Just as a general cw: sex, although not in detail, is brought up and discussed, mainly towards the end of the episode.   Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes, or leave us a message on Anchor.fm/townmeetingpod!
