We are a Gilmore Girls recap podcast with a twist. One of us comes from a nostalgic upbringing with the Girls, and the other has made it through the series only one time. We offer different insights and discuss how we relate to the mother/daughter duo as we have aged and watched the show. Join us to find out how we feel about the relationships, parents, and the drama that encompasses Gilmore Girls.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, we're back to discuss another week of theory. This week we have Season 3: Episode 17: A Tale of Poems and Fire. This episode pushes to be a climactic point in Season 3, leaving us with much to discuss! We have some superb pop culture references, and discuss all of the comparing and contrasting this episode presents! This it is, and nothing more!

Here we go! 2.5 years of Gilmore Girls built up to this moment - the big envelope! But so much more happens in this episode before we even get to the mailbox for round 2. We have Max (ugh), Paris and Jamie, and C-SPAN. You may not like everything we have to say, but we hope you can find it in your heart of hearts to follow along!

We are back! Welcome back to Growing Up Gilmore! We appreciate your patience as we navigate all things life lately. This episode was recorded awhile back, but we are bringing it here for you! More recent recordings will be released from now on! This week we talk about Jess, Rory, and swans. What is the purpose of the swan? How do we interpret the relationship Rory and Jess are developing? We discuss all this and much, much more.

We are excited to be back with a brand new episode, and this one is an excellent one to return to our discussions. We break down the flashbacks, the writing, and the directing big time.

We're back! In this episode, we discuss Season 3: Episode 12: Lorelai Out of Water, our roadtrip to Milwaukee, and more. We have a lot of thoughts about Luke and Lorelai, the writing of this episode, and the newest character: Nicole.

We're back for another week of these Gilmore Girls trying to navigate relationships - not with men, but with the women in their lives (well, Lorelai with men, but let's save that for later). In Season 3: Episode 11: I Solemnly Swear, Elyse and Aimee break down the parameters of Paris and Rory, while also discussing Emily's intentions with Lorelai's deposition.

Is Dave the best guy on Gilmore Girls? Do we change all of our opinions on the men of this show? Perhaps. Just like Rory, we're keeping our options open. We discuss the little peanuts of storyline scattered throughout this episode. We also get sucked into the Kennedy-lore for our weekly pop culture references. Any guesses as to what the girls are thankful for this year? We think the rolls at Luke's are high on the list.

This week in Season 3: Episode 8: Let the Games Begin, we tackle all of the awkwardness. Rory and Jess figuring out what their relationship looks like, Luke and Lorelai figuring out what Rory and Jess relationship looks like, and Richard figuring out what Rory's relationship with Yale looks like. A lot of relationships and a lot of looking! We are on a new trajectory! Here we go!

Who's ready for a 24 Hour Dance Marathon? Tensions are running extremely high in Season 3: Episode 7: They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They? The people are tired, frustrated, and emotional.

We took an extended holiday break to refresh and are thrilled to be back to discuss the three L's: Lorelai, Luke, and Lane.

We left on a bit of a cliffhanger last week, so let's get right into it! We are breaking down Season 3: Episode 2: Haunted Leg (Part 2). We discuss if Emily will ever move on from Christopher, the mirroring between Christopher, Lorelai, and Rory, and the fantastic writing for the episode.

We are back this week with our special guest, Bryn, to help us discuss Season 3: Episode 2: Haunted Leg Part 1. We weren't anticipating two parts for this episode, but our discussions got the better of us! In Part 1, we break down the level of maturity in our characters, how Lorelai is handling Kirk asking her out, and discussing the psychology behind what Emily Gilmore always has up her sleeves.

Hello, Season 3! This week we begin with a fresh start - a Growing Up Gilmore makeover, if you will. We discuss Season 3: Episode 1: Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days. There is a lot of unpack going into Season 3, and we are feeling the hazy and crazy of it all.

Who is ready for the rest of this finale? Aimee, Elyse, Jenny, and Mary get right down to it in the Season 2: Episode 22 finale titled, "Can't Get it Started". We discuss the happenings of Lorelai and Christopher and how their relationship could be teaching Rory how to behave in her own relationships. We also get to see Rory take a huge risk (but the pay off doesn't come until much later).

Is it really already time for the finale? This week we welcome our guests, Jenny and Mary, to wrap up Season 2. In Season 2: Episode 22: I Can't Get Started, we are on full wedding watch for Sookie and Jackson. Rory is processing her recent trip to New York, Lorelai is trying to figure out what Christopher's actual intentions are, and Emily and Richard are deciding whether or not the pity invite to Sookie's wedding is worth their time.

We're back after leaving you with a bit of a cliffhanger last week! Who's ready for New York and Graduation? In this continuation of Season 2: Episode 21: Lorelai's Graduation, we take a closer look at the relationship between Rory and Jess. We also talk about how Lorelai's Graduation could be considered a healing moment for the Gilmore family. A lot of questions are answered in this episode, but a lot of questions are created from it too! We are ready to dive in and finish out this episode strong.

Back to the basics for Season 2: Episode 21: Lorelai's Graduation. Aimee and Elyse are back and ready to break down the happenings of the first half of this episode. We felt this needed two parts to totally break down the before and after of this one! We are closely following the relationships and the potential for some healing with all involved. What causes Rory to make this split decision? Why doesn't Lorelai want to invite her parents? Our thoughts all lie in this episode. Join us next week for New York and Lorelai's ceremony!

Welcome back for another episode! This week we have another Richard episode - Season 2: Episode 20: Help Wanted. As you may know, we are not huge fans of the Richard episodes (poor track record with this show), but it is refreshing to see the side of Richard that Lorelai gets to see. We see the aftermath of the accident, Emily learning about the accident, and how quickly Richard is to rely on Lorelai. A lot of dependency going on in this episode - but what else is new?

Welcome back! This week's episode is a short and sweet one. We discuss all of the characters that are in this episode (it's a lot), and what the significance is for their part in this episode. We admit this episode is pretty on par with Season 1: Episode 3: Kill Me Now, but we find plenty to discuss with Rory and Dean. We are slowly building up to the big storm!

Welcome back to another week of Growing Up Gilmore! In Season 2: Episode 17: Dead Uncles and Vegetables, we take a good look at Luke Danes becoming a well-rounded character in Gilmore Girls. We discuss Rory putting in overtime to hide her feelings for Jess, only to be more obvious to us. Lorelai pushes her life aside to help Luke, while Emily steps in and helps Sookie plan her wedding. It's a whirlwind episode, but there is a lot to discuss. Please take a moment to follow/subscribe to our podcast! Leave us a review - we love to hear from you!

We are back with Season 2: Episode 16: There's the Rub. This episode may be a new favorite (but we say that every episode now). We see excellent mirroring between Paris/Rory and Lorelai/Emily, watch Jess plant himself a little more in Rory's life, and watch as Dean gets his heart broken again.

Glad to have you back for another week! This time we are tackling Season 2: Episode 15: Lost and Found. We have a lot to chat about this week - intentions, feelings, and more. We find Rory having a more difficult time trying to cover up her true feelings about Jess, and we see Lorelai play into feelings about Luke. This episode leaves us with a lot of questions, and we need answers! We know a major shift is ahead of us, and now we are just counting the weeks.

We take some time to talk about Christopher's true motives in this episode and how it transforms Lorelai.

Are you ready for it? (Taylor pun INTENDED) This is an episode of a lot of feelings. It is one of Aimee's favorites, and we are both over the moon to welcome our guest, Jenny, to the podcast. Join us as we discuss Jackson and Sookie navigating new love, Lorelai and Luke being single (but together), and the beginning shift of Rory and Dean.

We are back with Season 2: Episode 12: Richard in Stars Hollow. This episode feels out of place, and we aren't quite sure of it's purpose, but we love Edward Hermann's acting. This one displays how well-rounded of an actor he is, and how much he can show us when he's given the range and screen time. Aside from Richard, Rory receives her car from Dean, and Lorelai has to learn that not everything is as it seems with her parents and their happiness.

We are back after a week hiatus with Season 2: Episode 11: Secrets and Loans (which Aimee calls "Loans and Stuff" at the top of the episode)! We really dissect what Lorelai is thinking in this episode and how the stakes are not really that high for her considering her situation. We are yet again reminded that Rory is the sensible one and that Lorelai needs work on her ability to solve problems in a responsible and timely fashion. Luke tries to save the day, Lane becomes a cheerleader, and Dean throws a basketball at Rory's head. A lot of strange events all wrapped up into one episode, don't you think?

Who's hungry? Elyse and Aimee are back together to discuss Season 2: Episode 10: The Bracebridge Dinner! This episode had Aimee dreaming (literally), and Elyse feels inspired to have our own Bracebridge Dinner. We talk about all of the drama that builds up in this episode as we are introduced officially to the love-triangle that is Dean, Jess, and Rory. Elyse shares her thoughts on Clara, and Aimee discovers that Elyse was a horse girl. We promise we stay on topic for most of the episode, but all of it is relevant to our Gilmore Girls!

Welcome back! This week Aimee hosts with Bryn and they break down Season 2: Episode 9: Run Away Little Boy. There is a lot to discuss in our farewell Tristan episode! Bryn defends some of Dean's actions in this episode, much to Aimee's dismay, and the two of them decide who really is in the right and wrong. Lorelai does her best work - keeping Luke at bay, and Rory begins her new chapter of, "Please forgive me, Dean. I'm sorry, Dean." This episode has a lot of character shifts in it, and we try our best to tackle them all. But let's be real, an episode without Elyse just isn't the same.

We are back for another week to discuss Season 2: Episode 8: The Ins and Outs of Inns. Lorelai does an excellent job of making a fool out of herself yet again, but bounces back in the best way. We finally meet (the first) Mia, and get to hear a little about her history in Stars Hollow (i.e. Luke being a total Trekkie). The town meeting causes a major uproar in frustration for Jess, and Rory ends up delivering him the news. Our favorite part? Seeing Rory's conversation play a role in Jess showing a little compassion towards Luke. Just wait and hear how Elyse reacted! Stay tuned for links for our Season 2 lists!

Welcome back! This week we tackle Season 2: Episode 7: Like Mother, Like Daughter. This is an episode that has a lot to do with accepting who you are and sticking to that no matter what you're told by the outside world (something we know all too well). We discuss the love of Rory embracing who she is and not backing down, Lorelai mirroring that by joining the booster club and doing things in her own fashion (get it?), and how both girls learn that they can fit into different scenarios their own way. Let's embrace what we know about ourselves and discuss this episode with a little compassion, while also enjoying how absolutely ridiculous Lorelai behaves at the end, shall we?

We discuss the feelings surrounding the Gilmore family with the pending debut, why Christopher is the worst person on the planet, and the build up of Richard's emotions.

The pressure is on in more ways than one. Rory is stressed about getting enough extra curricular activities to buff out her transcript before Harvard, Dean wants to enjoy his summer with his number one girl, and Lorelai takes the plunge to tell Emily she is getting married. Luke lectures Lorelai on the harsh realities a wedding can bring, all while pouring a cup of coffee.

It's the moment we have all been waiting for: Season 2 of Gilmore Girls! We were so excited to begin this season that we did not want to take a day off! In this episode, we are discussing the season two opener "Sadie, Sadie" where we find the Gilmore Girls making decisions, spreading the news, and coming to terms with the fact that their lives could be changed forever. We really focus on the language in this episode, and we hope it brings new meaning to you too. There is a lot to unfold in these season opener, and we have a lot of feelings about all of this semi-planning/semi-deciding that Lorelai has going on in her life.

We are getting a lot of exposition and feelings in this episode before the big finale. We get a closer look at the triangle of Rachel, Luke, and Lorelai. We also discuss what Lorelai might really be feeling about her and Max getting back together officially. Rory runs to Emily and Richard, and we discuss how this will negatively hurt their Gilmore Girls in the future. Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review! We'd love to see you every week!

We are winding down season one, but not before tackling another Emily Gilmore episode. This week we are looking at two big triangles: Emily, Lorelai, and Rory and Luke, Lorelai, and Rachel. We have a theory about Rachel that we would love to hear your thoughts on - we haven't heard it anywhere else. This is an episode that deals with the past and present of our Stars Hollow characters, and we dive deep on what these relationships mean for everyone involved. This week, we were not able to do a food review, so we will tack it on to next week! We hope you're gearing up for the finale! Happy listening! Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review!

Cheers! Welcome back to Growing Up Gilmore! This week we are discussing Season 1: Episode 18: The Third Lorelai. In this episode we tackle a lot of relationships: Lorelai the third and Emily, Rory and Tristan, Rory and Paris, and Lorelai and Emily - wish a dash of Lorelai and Rory too (told you it was a lot)! For a stand alone episode, we learn a lot about the original Lorelai - one being that she's God (according to Lorelai). We review an afternoon tea spread and enjoy the finer things for a change - we may quit Pop-Tarts altogether now! Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review!

After last week's surprise ending (who are we kidding - we knew it was coming), we take off from where we ended. In this episode we discuss boxing up feelings and things after relationships, the importance of wallowing, and high school parties. We want to say it's a heavier episode, but we are so over Dean and Max that you will completely forget we are discussing a major break-up moment. Overall, Lauren Graham is an amazing actress, and we owe so much to her in this episode. We review Rory's wallowing snacks, and choose our own. Grab your wallowing snacks of choice, and give us a listen! Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review! We'd love to see you every week!

So we meet again! This week we are discussing Season 1: Episode 16: Star-Crossed Lovers and Other Strangers. We discuss the dynamic shift of Rory and Dean's relationship, how Lorelai is a romantic holding onto the past (but can wake herself up quickly), and how Emily thinks Lorelai needs to find a man. We finally meet Rachel and see what all the fuss is about too. It's a big episode that presents us with a ton of character development. We enjoy two different recipes of Founder's Day Punch and completely understand what Luke means by saying it's toxic. Happy listening! Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review!

Glad to see you're back for more! This week is a longer episode because we dive in pretty deep to Christopher returning and what that means for our Gilmore girls. You will learn early on that we are not fans of Christopher Hayden - the actor and the character. We enjoy some vodka martinis and discuss why Christopher really came back, Lorelai's relationship with Richard, and Rory's meaningful relationship with her grandparents. We cannot forget Lorelai standing up Luke! So much happens in this episode! Pour yourself some coffee (or a martini) and enjoy this week's episode.

Warning: If you love Dean, this may not be the episode for you. This week we take a long look at “That Damn Donna Reed” and all of the unconscious thoughts that make their way to the surface in this episode. We question the Gilmore Girls and their intentions for the evening - why did Rory feel that dressing up and making dinner was a good idea? Did Lorelai really only invite Luke over to look for Stella? We may never know, but speculating is fun! We review the Fantasy Lime Supreme from The Official Gilmore Girls Cookbook, and Elyse will be upfront and honest with you about the whole ordeal. Put your pearls on so you have something to clutch, because we are in for a bumpy ride. Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review! We'd love to see you every week!
