Happy “I Smell Snow” Season! Winter has arrived: our beanies and scarves are on, the candy cane coffee is brewing, and winter break is upon us…even for the Gilmores. Long before Netflix picked up Gilmore girls, the WB slowly doled out our favorite show once a week before leaving us on a cliffhanger for weeks on end with a passé television practice: the Winter finale. You’ve heard us rank the season finales, but now we’re here to talk about what makes a good mid-season finale and where they fall in our rankings. Plus, we dive into the newly released Walmart commercial where Lauren Graham, Scott Patterson, and Sean Gunn reunited to bring us a little extra joy this holiday season. Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say.Join us on Patreon for our spoiler-FULL rewatch, Gilmore Revisited as we dive into the second half of Season 6!It’s the Hollow-Day Season and the updated Winter Gazebo is here!

“To Lee Leonard, who knew me better than anyone else on earth and loved me anyway”Could this be the best celebrity memoir either of us have ever read? This week, Tara and Haley dive into the first few chapters of Kelly Bishop’s memoir, “The Third Gilmore Girl”.

Where you call, we will answer! This week's episode has us considering your thoughts after us posing the question of whether or not Logan is more like Christopher or Lorelai.

Are Lorelai and Logan two sides of the same coin? We’ve been saying it for years and we’re finally ready to dive in. Logan Huntzberger is often compared to Christopher Hayden, but have we stopped to consider how Logan Huntzberger is the product of who Lorelai could have been had she taken the path her parents wanted her to? Tied together by their past, their contentious relationship with their parents, and even some of their dialogue, is Logan more like Lorelai than he is like Christopher?

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.

On this lovely Thursday, I am joined by Jessica Joyce, the author of Reading Is Sexy's August pick-- The Ex Vows. Georgia, the main character of The Ex Vows, is a blend of Rory's character traits with Lorelai's lost relationship with Luke. Jessica has noticed some patterns about releasing your first and second novels and shares how she gets her brain ready to write. She's of course a Gilmore girls fan and reveals which of Rory's team she's on and why! We love a why! And of course, we have a spoiler chat about The Ex Vows (listen out for the warning!) and how crafting such beautiful emotional arcs for both Georgia and Eli was a lot like taking them to therapy.
