Show notes

Today we chat with Gilmore Girls’ key set costumer, Valerie Campbell on life behind-the-scenes in Stars Hollow. Valerie dishes on which actors nailed those long scripts best, what Edward Herrmann (Richard Gilmore) was really like, the inside scoop on “the world’s largest pizza,” the Gilmore character whose wardrobe was inspired by Valerie’s real-life clothes, and lots more. Plus, we got a surprise phone call from one of your favorite Stars Hollow townsfolk in the middle of the interview!

Yes, even a donut can make us cry!

89. Episodes we skip: Super Cool Party People May 27, 2026

Show notes

Even if you’re a diehard Gilmore Girls lover, a few episodes are painful. And this is one. Today we analyze “Super Cool Party People” from season 6 - the infamous birthday party of April Nardini - and the reasons we skip it.

Even the awesome moments (Rory tells off Mitchum!) and unforgettable pop culture references (Pretty in Pink! Bonne Bell lip smackers!) can’t save this episode. Luke pushes Lorelai away, Rory weirdly shoulders a burden that isn’t hers, and Anna Nardini… well, is Anna.

Grab some coffee and join us for the good and the bad, the funny and the cringey.

88. May Bonus: Proms on Gilmore Girls: Rory, Lane, Paris & their prom personas May 13, 2026

Show notes

It’s prom season! So let’s celebrate Gilmore Girls style. Today, we dig into the prom personas of our favorite teens: Rory, Lane, and Paris. Plus, you know we can’t leave out Madeline & Louise, Dean, Lindsay, Tristan, and Jess. Are they “most likely to” be prom queen? Wallflower? Or a complete rebel?

Jackie & Catherine reveal their own prom personas, spill a few personal stories, and share some juicy listener prom moments, too - both embarrassing and victorious!

We also hash out the best pop culture prom moments. From the poofy sleeves of Pretty in Pink to the snarky fun of Mean Girls, and everything in between.

87. Will you be my Lorelai Gilmore? Lane’s Fairygodmother May 06, 2026

Show notes

We’re taking a non-traditional approach to Mother’s Day this year by recognizing the aunties, godmothers, bonus moms, teachers, and coaches who help raise children.

Because, really, where would Lane Kim be without HER fairy godmother? Would she still harbor an obsession for obscure music? Would she know the taste of french fries and coffee? Would there even be a Hep Alien without Lorelai Gilmore?

But most importantly, would Lane feel supported to be her own cool, authentic self? Join us as we dig into one of the least explored relationships on Gilmore Girls: Lorelai and Lane.

Emily Gilmore insists upon Rory parading each of her boyfriends through the Gilmore mansion to gain her grandparents’ approval. (To not-always-stellar results.)

Today, we contrast and compare the different experiences of Rory Gilmore’s boyfriends at Friday Night Dinner in Hartford!
