    Secrets and Loans [Gilmore Revisited]

    Is January a "no plot just vibes" kind of month? We think so. And we also think you need a little cozy episode when the vibes are feeling pretty bleak. We've talked about it so much here on the pod, so from our snowed-in homes to yours, please enjoy our recap episode of Season 2 Episode 11: Secrets and Loans.

    From 2022: We have a secret this week! Just kidding, we talk too much to keep a secret, but we are talking about Rory keeping secrets from Paris, Lane keeping secrets from Rory, and Rory being unable to keep a secret from Emily that Lorelai specifically asked her to keep! Just the one loan though... 

    How do you feel about this episode? As you'll hear, we think it's no plot just winter vibes. Is this anyone's favorite episode this season? Let us know!

    The Incredible Cold Opens of Gilmore Girls

    It’s Gilmore to Say Season 5!!!! And what better way to ring in this chilly season than a chat about the best cold opens on Gilmore Girls. Those brief (or sometimes lengthy) scenes right before the opening credits roll can make or break the vibe of an episode! Which ones would we consider the “best” for Seasons 1-3? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!

    Gilmore to Consider: Does Rory Tell Logan She’s Pregnant?

    After dreaming up A Gilmore Girls Christmas Special last month, one of our besties reminded us that we left out a pretty important detail: how does Logan learn about his daughter? Is Rory the new Anna Nardini? Does Emily Gilmore tell him? Or does Rory really have the audacity to call him herself and share the news? Also, is the Christmas Special an opportunity for the writers to redeem Dean? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!

    Gilmore to Say Season 5 kicks off next week where we’ll be opening this cold season with our favorite cold opens!!! <3

    Gilmore to Consider: Does Rachel Live Up To Her Hype?

    Happy New Year, besties! We hope you’re having a fantastic start to 2026. This week, we have more to consider about the non-Gilmore Girls of the series; specifically Rachel, Sherry, and Lindsey. How could Rachel’s storyline have been improved on to match her hype? Did Christopher’s choices make us less endeared to Sherry? And would an apology tour from Rory Gilmore to Lindsey mended our relationship with her? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!

    Gilmore to Consider: Tara and Haley go to The Late Show, Rory and Jess go to the prom

    Happy Christmas Eve Eve! How did we sit front row at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert the day he interviewed Taylor Swift?? We’re here to spill our birthday adventures in New York City from two weeks ago!!! Plus, one of our listeners asked us to imagine what Rory and Jess going to the Stars Hollow High Prom. Would this have been a better setting for Dean and Jess’s fight from Keg! Max!? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!

    Gilmore To Read: Susan Lee Is Unimpressed With Rory Gilmore

    Gilmore Girls lovers, on Wednesdays, we talk books!!!

    USA Today Bestselling Author Susan Lee joins me to talk about November's pick for Reading Is Sexy and her adult romance debut, Julia Song Is Undateable. If you've ever been to a family gathering as a single person and been asked why you're not married, this book is going to resonate with you. This book is all about the weight of familial expectation and what says Gilmore Girls like the weight of your family! Julia herself reminds me of several of the women on Gilmore Girls, but I would love to hear what you think!

    In this episode, Susan talks about her early days of loving stories, how she transitioned from being a book reviewer to a book writer, what it meant to see a Korean American family depicted on screen in Gilmore Girls, why Gilmore Girls inspired her home buying journey, and of course, everything that went into writing Julia Song Is Undateable, one of my favorite books of the year.

    Want more Gilmore Girls inspired book recommendations? Join our book club, @gilmoretoread.

    In December, we're be reading Good Spirits by BK Borison.
