But we really couldn’t wait to dive deeper into the two girlies who give us the best fights in the series: Lorelai and Emily. This week, we’re breaking down the most iconic tension-filled conflict between these two from Season 1-3. Which fight will take the title of their best?

It’s Lorelai Gilmore’s 57th Birthday! Happy Birthday baby! To celebrate, we’re discussing Lauren Graham’s appearance on Call Her Daddy and answering one of our listener voicemails who asks, “What if the show was on a different network? Would it have changed Lorelai’s role as a mom?” Is Gilmore girls, the town, and Lorelai herself so generationally palatable because they had to stay within the PG rated confines of the WB? What if Lorelai could swear like a sailor on HBO or if there was more mature content involved on Gilmore Girls? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to consider.Also, it’s Earth Day! And what says “earth day” more than hugging the world?

We know, the title surprised us too. But some of our mom besties called in to share their thoughts on Anna Nardini’s infamous reaction to the sleepover at Luke’s and we couldn’t help but take it into consideration. We even hear a little perspective from a Gilmore to Say celeb: Brett’s mom, Nancy!

Let’s go back, back to the beginning. Back to where the earth, the sun, the Stars Hollow all aligned (2003’s ”Let the Rain” by Hilary Duff anyone?) This week’s bonus episode is VERY exciting. We’re taking you back to March of 2022, when we recorded our very first Gilmore Revisited recap episode about the pilot of Gilmore Girls. But before we dive into the pilot episode we all know and love, we’re dissecting the parts of Gilmore girls that didn’t make it to air — including an early revision of the pilot script filled with dialogue, storylines, and even characters that never made it to Stars Hollow. Judy Tolan? Mrs. Langworthy? Christopher Hayden as a lawyer???? Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley (2022 version) have more to say.If you want to listen to our breakdown of the pilot (both aired and unaired), join our free tier on Patreon!
