Today we chat about one of the strongest couples on Gilmore Girls: Emily and Richard Gilmore. (Major spoiler)… but not for long. We detail the chronology of events leading to their separation – from Pennilyn Lott to Trix’s antics to the Floyd/Jason debacle.

Sisters and diehard superfans Jackie and Catherine each reveal their one word summary for the crumbling of this epic couple. Plus, should we have seen this coming? Grab your coffee and let’s dive in.

“I’ve got Ken Burns Jazz if you’re into that kind of thing.” Well, WE are into John Cabrera! The actor who played the lovable, slightly geeky Brian from Hep Alien on Gilmore Girls, joins us today.

We chat about which character he thinks is overrated (brace yourselves!), what he really wants for Rory Gilmore in the revival, a fan fiction/spinoff idea you’ll love, and what he thought about guys like Dean and Christopher early on. And we do our best to stump the king of trivia, but John remembers a lot, you guys! 

John Cabrera is also the founder and CEO of Remarkist, a fan creativity platform bringing community and storytelling together. 

Now… let’s rock!

We’re back for Part 2 of our deep dive into emotional labor in Gilmore Girls!

Enjoy this preview. For the full episode, join our Patreon, where you’ll get extra bonus episodes every month. 

In Part 2 of this series, we explore how the women of Gilmore Girls -  from Emily to Lorelai and even side characters like Sasha - boost up the men around them by dimming their own light or taking on most of the emotional, care, community, and relational work.

We also dig into the bigger picture: how women are often the ones building community, preserving important family relationships (we’re looking at you, Trix!) and carrying the emotional weight for others. From Emily helping Richard recover (it’s all about the fish) to Lorelai supporting Luke through surprise family drama, the women of Stars Hollow are constantly doing the quiet, unseen work of care and community that keep everything going.

Grab your coffee and settle in - this is one of our favorite conversations yet about the emotional heartbeat of Gilmore Girls.

Oof. In just 24 hours, Rory Gilmore faced two emotional gut punches - Lorelai and Christopher’s surprise marriage announcement, and Logan’s less-than-glowing reaction to her article. 

In this episode, we unpack one of Rory’s worst 24 hours: how these moments hit us as viewers, and how we’d feel in Rory’s shoes. First, we revisit the build-up: Lorelai and Luke’s broken engagement (did anyone check how Rory felt?) and the mounting stress that came after ending her term as editor of the newspaper and contemplating life after Yale.

 We ask:

• Were Lorelai and Christopher right to tell Rory about the marriage together?
• Why couldn’t Rory be vulnerable in front of her dad?
• How does this moment mirror her “ballerina” article from Season 4?
• Was Rory completely unaware of her privilege? 
• What was Logan unwilling to recognize about himself?

Grab your coffee and join us for a deep dive into Rory’s stress tendencies, her arc as a Yale student and journalist, and the mother-daughter tension on our favorite Stars Hollow show.

It’s that time of year - leaves are beginning to fall and you’re unearthing the “Rory sweater” from the depths of your closet. It’s time to rewatch Gilmore Girls!

Whether you watch it every fall, or you’re constant loopers like us, Gilmore Girls is a show that begs to be rewatched over and over. 

Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine delve into the benefits of rewatching and lessons learned from multiple viewings. 

Which characters would constantly rewatch like us? Which ones would watch it once a year? 

Most importantly, we reveal ways that our Gilmore opinions have changed over the years - especially when it comes to Christopher as a dad, Dean as a boyfriend, and who we relate to now that we’re in our 40s.  

Episodes mentioned:

Emily in Stars Hollow

Taylor Doose: Friend or Foe?

Why are  the women of Gilmore Girls often the ones holding everything (and everyone) together? In this episode, sisters Jackie and Catherine - who are also moms and feminists - explore the idea of emotional labor: the behind-the-scenes effort it takes to manage feelings, smooth over conflicts, and keep relationships running.

We’ll talk about how this shows up on the show - whether it’s Emily’s role as corporate wife, Lorelai protecting Christopher from shame, or Rory juggling expectations—and how it connects to terms like the mental load, cognitive load, and invisible work (don’t worry, we’ll explain the differences!)

From planning social events to supporting men to have healthy, quality relationships, the women of Stars Hollow are constantly doing the emotional heavy lifting - and we’re digging into why that matters.
