From the likes of Jordan Catalano and Ben Covington to Dylan McKay and Jess Mariano, we're coming for ya, teenage heartthrobs! What exactly makes a boy a “bad boy”? And why are we so darn attracted to them?Jackie and Catherine dig into masculinity, risky behavior, and the “good girl” phenomenon on TV series in the ‘90s and 2000s. 

Better With Glasses Pod presents our Other Conrads series featuring all of the other fictitious love interests that have Vicky somewhat goo-goo ga-ga. Today's Other Conrad is Stars Hallow bad boy turned author and Rory's true match (IMO), Jess Mariano. In a world that's less about will-they won't-they and more about how many love interests Rory can juggle, Jess is Vicky's favorite in the sea of Deans, Logans and somewhat honorable mentions to Tristan, Marty and poor Paul.

It's finally here! The episode we have been talking about since season one! We are meeting Jess, learning a little about Luke's family background, and seeing the exact moment Rory starts to fall for the new guy.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. It's time for the bits! Jess curses Emily. As in, host Jess curses host Emily, not Jess Mariano cursing Emily Gilmore. Everyone should absolutely drop what they are doing and go watch Moulin Rouge if you haven't seen it (starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor), there are some coats to die for (you know which ones), and a bit of Town Meeting Pod Gossip at the end.

No, not much happens in this episode that carries over, except for the Jess Mariano of it all, of course. Join us as we discuss Sandra being a pizza snob, Jess being okay with a bad date if it means Bowie, and Emily announcing something incredibly exciting!! And oh, those ch-ch-ch-changes?

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Lorelai is graduating from business school and Rory decides to celebrate with CRIME (specifically truancy). In this episode: learn all about Washington SQUARE Park (even though we call it Washington State Park about a dozen times, west coast best coast! - xo Jess), continue our study of Jess Mariano's eclectic literature preferences, and even learn a surprising character detail from his shirt! Seth MacFarlane wants to eat the rich (specifically Emily Gilmore), Jess (cohost) manages to squeeze the words "boss baby" into the episode, and Sandra schools us all on what is and is not "the big apple."

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. This episode got unexpectedly dark, with Emily (Gilmore) starting off the episode with who should we kick out of the family mausoleum. Don't worry though, they'll just throw Rory in with Lorelai. Rory somehow becomes the face of censorship in Stars Hollow (and gives us a dark reference out of it), Jess (Mariano) continues to impress us by running with the bits, we get Richard vs Dean round 2, and Taylor is redeemed with a new cardigan! But also is trying to own the entire town of Stars Hollow and create his own seedy underbelly, with Kirk as manager at all of these businesses. Join us to discuss Richard's adventures in Stars Hollow! TW: there is some mention of sexual violence/rape in the references section.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Here's our review of this episode: It's...an episode. Yes, this Gilmore girls episode has everything: cheerleaders (Lane! Ska! White tights!), basketball (Pep Rallies! New Coaches! Red Uniforms!), Chilton drama (PSAT's! Mean Girls! Poland Spring water bottles!), and of course, termites (Kirk! 15 Grand! Loans!). All interesting things, for sure!, yet none of these events are ever mentioned again in Gg canon. Join as we wonder about Emily's intentions, the crap shack's original selling price, and where the hell did Jess Mariano go? Also in this episode: Sandra cannot say a specific word (in her defense, the word is Algonquin...), Emily tells us all about the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Tim Curry, anyone?), and contrary to popular belief, Jess does not want to steal Jackson's pajamas (Made by Xerox?).

Bingeys, es sind schon wieder zwei Wochen um! Wir haben heute eine tolle Folge im Gepäck: Die Basket-Folge! Stars Hollows Frauen packen einen Korb, die Männer dürfen darauf bieten und danach den Picknickkorb zusammen mit der Frau genießen. Altbacken? Klar. Irgendwie typisch Stars Hollow? Auch klar! Wir sind natürlich wie immer müde, aber auch motiviert euch unsere Meinung zu dieser Folge mitzuteilen. Also rein in die Podcatcher und die Ohren gespitzt an diesem wunderschönen Donnerstag.

Wie gehts euch eigentlich allen? Alex hat wieder mal einen Rant mitgebracht - drei Monate zu spät, aber immer noch voller Enthusiasmus. Wusstet ihr, dass es einen Katzengott gibt? Oder, dass Kim früher aus ihrem Zimmerfenster abgehauen ist? Wie wichtig ist eigentlich ein eigenes Zimmer? Und ist Lorelai einfach scheiße oder hat Urte die ganze Zeit die falsche Meinung gehabt? Es wird wild diskutiert, es werden virtuelle Kippen aus Schandmäulern gekloppt und vielleicht ein bisschen geschwärmt. Wir sind mit einer neuen Folge am Start und haben Jess Mariano mitgebracht!

But if neither of those things deter you, then we’ll see you in Stars Hollow for this hellscape of an episode. No, literally, this is hell, and you’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout we’re telling you why, because Jess Mariano is comin’ to town. . .

Happy new year and welcome to season 2! 2021 is a lot like 2020, huh? Still craziness in politics, we're still living through unprecedented times (and constantly making history), but now we have vaccines and a tiny bit of hope...? Kait plugs some math she's doing regarding the Bachelor and we both talk resolutions for the new year. Anyway, we're kicking off season 2 with something a little different than a straight up theory: a debate! Who should Rory Gilmore end up with? In one corner, we have Kait, defending Jess Mariano. In the other corner, we have Frances defending Logan Huntzberger. In the middle of the ring, we both agree that Dean Forester is the absolute worst. Don't forget to follow us on social media (TW: @PodTheory, IG: @TheorythePod). We also have a GREAT Spotify playlist that you should check out that features all the songs we discuss on the pod.

I’ve always been drawn to dark-haired, emotionally unavailable men. First there was the volatile guy with a troubled past who I was convinced was hiding a sensitive soul (he wasn’t). Then came the non-committal literary agent, followed by the equally guarded former MMA fighter, who I knew would be the first one to throw a punch at a party. After dating enough impenetrable brunettes (one of whom actually looked like Milo Ventimiglia circa 2002), I came to the only logical conclusion: Jess from Gilmore Girls ruined my dating life. The first time I saw Jess Mariano, I was a naive middle schooler just looking for something to watch after I finished my homework. Then I turned on ABC Family, and a Gilmore Girls rerun changed my life forever: there was Jess, brooding around Stars Hollow in a leather jacket with a book and a scowl. I fell head over heels instantly. This unknowingly set off my pattern of dating guys who, in their own ways, subconsciously reminded me of Jess. And despite them all sharing his worst trait of being emotionally withdrawn, I haven't been able to let them go — even as a 28-year-old woman with a job, a bank account, and years of relationship experience to learn from. I’ve half-joked with my therapist for years that as my first love — OK, fictional crush — Jess doomed my romantic future. But experts on adolescent sexuality now confirm it. "Adolescence is a key time for exploring and entering romantic and sexual relationships, as well as for the development of one's own identity, and therefore this is a particularly important period for pop culture and other media influences," says Erica Scharrer, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Communication at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. A 2018 University of Michigan study on how adult women view their childhood celebrity crushes in comparison to their current relationships backs this up. Early romantic connections to celebrities were formative for the women surveyed, “socializing them, perhaps unrealistically, about what to expect from romance and sex." For me, that’s meant seeing my partners’ issues as problems I can solve if I just love them hard enough, and settling for much less in return while I wait for them to grow. This is also Jess’ fault: though he begins Gilmore Girls lost, evasive, and sometimes hurtful, by the end of the series he’s communicative, fulfilled, and seemingly ready to be in a healthy and stable relationship with Rory. Unfortunately for me — and anyone else who crushed on characters like My So-Called Life’s Jordan Catalano, Veronica Mars’ Logan Echolls, Boy Meets World’s Shawn Hunter, and The O.C.’s Ryan Atwood — it’s Jess’ earlier qualities that make him so appealing. "Jess is a classic bad boy — he's complicated, troubled, inconsistent, interesting, and desperately afraid of messing everything up, which he inevitably does," says psychotherapist Leslie C. Bell, PhD, LCSW. "There's certainly the trope of the man in need of a good woman's love in order to heal him — there's some appeal in that. But mainly I think it's a little bit exciting for someone who is [as] rule-abiding as Rory to flirt a bit with a darker side of reality." As someone who identified with the book-loving, people-pleasing Rory, it makes perfect sense that I fell for the same type of guy as her. We’re both ambitious and motivated women who seek to be challenged, whether in school or our careers. Why wouldn’t that extend to our romantic lives? This desire to make the bad boy “good” is also one of the few challenges young women are shown undertaking in pop culture and media, which is another reason I may have been drawn to Jess, explains Dr. Emerald Christopher-Byrd, Assistant Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Delaware. Though Christopher-Byrd assures me that my attraction to men like Jess isn't inherently bad, it comes with the "inevitable outcome of the person never changing." There’s no guarantee that if I persevere long enough, my partner will show up at my apartment to credit me with the publication of their novel or beg me to run away with them. Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is, sadly, not the screenwriter of my life. One challenge I can start to tackle, however, is my own dating patterns. Jess will always be my first love — and I’ll still absolutely never date a Logan Huntzberger — but with the validation that Jess is in fact partly to blame for my self-sabotaging habits, I can start to judge the men I date by who they are right now, not who they may or may not become based on their similarities to a fictional ideal I’ve held onto for 15 years. That being said, if you own a leather jacket and currently have something by Jack Kerouac tucked into the back pocket of your jeans, my DMs are open.

What do Waluigi, Westley from the Princess Bride, Jess Mariano, and Geralt from the Witcher have in common? They're all bad boys. You know we can't resist those leather jackets (or long purple overalls), defiant attitudes and smoldering eyes. On this podcast, we've taken it upon ourselves to tier rank all the bad boys we could think of (sort of). Find out which boys we would marry, who we thirst after, and who we pretend we do not see. Tangents include Gaby not liking blonde men, full plot summaries of Gilmore Girls, and the fact that we tried to record this podcast three times. Let us know what you think and if you love a bad boy. Sidenote: the next book we'll read together is The Devourers by Indra Das. We're planning to discuss the book in the beginning of October so stay tuned!

Yo, Adrian! We’ve got on our leather jackets and filled our glasses full of raw eggs to talk about another Best Picture winner. We want to know why Lorelai thinks Jess Mariano is like Rocky Balboa, the classic sports underdog hero from a writer/director who lived out a Cinderella story. We talk about a bunch of sequels, a famous statue, and a dog named Butkus. And while we were trying to get “Gonna Fly” out of our heads, we also found some unexpected connections between the two actors playing the characters Lorelai is comparing.

*Cues the laugh track* What’s the deal with Lenny Bruce? *Uproarious laughter* Try not to fall apart with laughter as we cover the life and trials of stand up comedian Lenny Bruce! He gets a reference in Gilmore Girls 213 (one of Taylor’s all-time favorite episodes), and he’s a character in the Palladinos’ new, critically-acclaimed show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (which Kyla is in love with). Bring your baskets for a picnic and listen in as we try to talk about his boundary-pushing, obscenity-laced routines without losing our “Clean” rating iTunes; recall our favorite bits from John Mulaney and 30 Rock; and figure out the connection Lenny has to Jess Mariano.

This ep has got it all: a Jess Mariano type, bonkers next level internet stalking, a first kiss by a waterfall, (Jaclyn still has the underwear she was wearing that day), the lawless days of early Facebook, when you feel it’s VITAL to know someone, Post-Potter Depression, thinking you’re Lady Gaga, hilarious time capsule messages, an unforgivable betrayal, a reunion on the other side of the world, and what the hell does JFK being allergic to horses have to do with any of this??
