57. June Bonus. The Incredible Sinking Rory: Alternate Jobs for Rory Jun 18, 2025

Show notes

One of the biggest complaints about the Gilmore Girls revival – A Year in the Life – is Rory’s stagnant career.

After seeing Rory Gilmore’s dreams of becoming a journalist somewhat fade, we have to wonder… Are there other professions that would suit Rory even better?

She has many skills, and lots of writing experience, but was she really destined to become the next Christiane Amanpour?

With a little help from our Patreon community, sisters and Gilmore superfans Jackie and Catherine dive into lots of job and career suggestions for Rory Gilmore, from publisher to event planner, and many more!

55. June 3rd Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

June 3rd is a pivotal date in Gilmore Girls history! And what better day to celebrate?

If you can just hear Lorelai saying “June thirrrrrrd,” then this is the episode for you.

Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine pop in with a surprise Tuesday episode to mark the occasion. We dive into why this date is so important to the fandom, what happened on each of those days, and similarities they share.

After all, these are big events - Rory’s court date for stealing a yacht and Lorelai’s planned wedding with Luke!

Both dates have lasting consequences for the Gilmore Girls, lead to major changes for each character’s arc, and give Lorelai a lot to consider.

54. Carrie Bradshaw x Lorelai Gilmore May 28, 2025

Show notes

As the new season of And Just Like That returns, we have to wonder… is Carrie Bradshaw anything like our beloved Lorelai Gilmore?

In today’s deep dive, sisters Jackie and Catherine analyze the similarities between two popular protagonists of the early 2000s: Carrie Bradshaw (in the Sex and the City days) and Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls.

Topics include:

Why did both characters deeply crave independence? How did it impact their lives and romantic relationships? Where was Carrie’s family?
Are they both “pick me” girls, or simply free-spirited unique women?
Lorelai and Carrie’s relationship to food, exercise, and their bodies
What they have in common when it comes to the hot button issues: politics and money!
And, of course, the men in their lives. Does Luke Danes have anything in common with Mr. Big? Where did Jason Stiles and Aleksandr Petrovsky both go wrong?

Taylor Doose: Friend or Foe? (Best of Gabbing) Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

Taylor Doose is one of Stars Hollow’s most important characters. After all, he basically runs the whole town! (Admit that you love all those festivals.)

Jackie and Catherine have some theories to test with you. On some days, Taylor (played by Michael Winters) is a little bit like the brash Colonel Jessup from A Few Good Men. And on other days, he channels the spunky and spirited Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation.

So take this quiz with us. Which character is Taylor most similar to?

Join us for "the best of Gabbing Gilmore" with this deep dive into Taylor Doose.

_________________________________________

It’s hard being a teenage girl. And even harder if you’re focused, driven, and a high-achiever like Paris with only one goal in mind - Harvard. Paris believes that her prestigious, elite private school, Chilton Academy will help her get there.

But when college acceptance letters arrive, she’s shocked. What happens later that evening at the Chilton bicentennial is… well, pretty disastrous.

Today, on Gabbing Gilmore, sisters Jackie and Catherine dig into a Gilmore Girls moment that is simultaneously cringey, heartbreaking, and witty. In short, a train wreck that we can’t NOT gape at!

We discuss:

Why this moment was so difficult for Paris
Whether it was really tied to her sex life or not (why did she actually use the word sl%t)
How other characters could have done better - we’re looking at you, Headmaster Charleston and Richard Gilmore!
How Paris’s bedroom gave us clues about her inevitable breakdown
Whether her infamous interview could have been avoided….

… and more!
